If you are having troubles lately with gelbooru, is because a recent change on the site, you now need to access the site over https.
All you have to do is configure the URL with https, instead of http:
* On the main menu, select servers. * Add a new server, or edit your current one. * To edit on android use long tap over the server. On iOS press the "i" button. * On the URL field, be sure to write the URL with "https" at the beginning, like "https://gelbooru.com"
If you add a new server, be sure to delete the old one.
If you don't set the URL with https, you will always get an "invalid credentials" message. And if you were using the server with http, every image will fail to load. The same applies for the iOS and Android versions of the App.
We may look for way to improve automatic detection for this kind of problem, for now just edit your configuration.
Note 1: Some version of Android 4.x may have troubles to connect over https with some sites, you may require to have installed the Google Play Services.
Note 2: Old favorites aren't loading? Maybe the metadata is just outdated, so try using the "Reload" ("Reload Metadata" on Android) option on the viewer, this will try to update the metadata of your favorite from the server you saved it.
Just noticed if you reload metadata while set to a server other than one the image was favorited on, it changes the URL to the wrong website. This is happening to me on Android.
@Admin The Gelbooru site now runs on Gelbooru Beta 0.2.5 (not sure what version the plainly named "Gelbooru" option is running on, so I'll just assume it isn't the version I mentioned). Which is why it may be breaking for almost everyone. The site SORT of works with "Old Gelbooru 0.1.1" set, but most images do not load. Which means that it is an app problem now, not just server-side.
What @desapoint says seems to be true. On the forums is mentioned that the API was disabled due abuse. We don't know anything more yet, but we will look into it. If there are really changes to how the API works, we can work on it.
HTTPS or not, it doesn't work in both URL formats for me on both my phone and my Android emulator on my PC. IBSearch.xxx doesn't work either, by the way.
IBSearch appears to be different than it was a few days ago.. a few friends and I have been getting drive-by downloads followed by immediate disconnects when trying to access the website.. a few days ago the owner's explanation for the site being down was posted and now this. The file(s) seem corrupted and have no extension and bring up nothing in text editors or Virustotal.. kinda weird. Anyone else have these issues?
