Is there some sort of maintenance going on right now? I've been trying to add tags to my blacklist but I constantly get messages saying that there are gateway issues. I tried to bypass this via the relogging trick on a different browser but then I started getting messages about gateways issues when I tried to log in.

Yes, lozer was performing maintenance last night. It should be finished by now.

Are you sure that it is finished? I'm still getting the message about there being gateway issues.

It was done at the time, but it's like 29 hours later, so he might be doing different maintenance.

Nope, I'm not doing any work atm. Not sure what's causing it, I will look into it.

So how's the work in question progressing? It has been more than 24 hours but the issue still persists. Not trying to annoy anyone here, just thought that it would be best to bring this up, just in case.

Decrease the size of your blacklist. It is too large. I am going to nuke it on the server side, so you'll need to clear your cookies for this domain so things work again.

Well...the thing is that it CAN function, in theory. Or at least it did for me. The thing is, if size is the issue here then the problem is that MODIFYING it is what becomes an issue. As in, if I were to complete it, get it to save and then leave everything alone while remaining logged in the it seemingly would function. The thing is, as a new member here, I was busy creating this backlist of mine, meaning that I was busy modifying it. And the relogging trick did work more or less fine until I got a gateway issue message while trying to log in.

In short, if I were to complete the backlist, get it to save, stay logged in and then leave things as they are at that point then everything would work fine, or so would what I have seen while trying to create my full blacklist would imply.

Also, how many terms does 2048 bytes amount to anyway?

I've changed a few things on our end to hopefully increase the limit, but I'm not sure if it will fix your issue.

...Well, thank you very much for your attempts to help, if nothing else. Just checked my current list and it (or at least the Word file containing it) is at 15.7 kilobytes.

Let's try a different approach, then. What is the limit on how many images one can list as their favorites?
