Server Issues, Etc

[thepast]

Well... MOST things are back in one piece... Tiger's & Torq's sanity on the other hand... can't vouch for that *laughs*

The site seems to be up in one piece & everything working... if people are having a major issue with something, let us know...

1) Still can't get into chat... just idling on the forum page from which I clicked it.

2) Haven't been able to upload an image. It's failing from both my computer and from photobucket, so the server here is the common denominator.

[thepast]

Oz, chat's up & working... try clearing out your cookies, logging out of forums & back in. People are finding that clears their cache issues on the old chat addy that went down... also try clearing your ISP entirely: some are holding onto the old chat addy as well...

As for pics... I'll have T look into that... seems bizarre... where is the error coming?

[dewran59]

Thank you so much for the update and for all your time and hard work to keep the site going again. Bravo and Well done!!!

[Torq]

Far as I can see the function is working again - I didn't notice it had been gone, so it must have been only a matter of a bunch of hours. Thanx for looking it over.

[Ozme52]

Me too. Not a problem on my browser. IE vers 7.0.5730.13

[Logic1]

I got no edit function and I use Firefox if that makes any difference.

[thrall]

[Thorne]

No edit button here, but then, I don't neeeed one. I nevere makee misteaks.

Well, hardyly evere. only oncer in a bloo mune.

Danm it! werse the diet botton!

Like Logic1, I use Firefox. Haven't tried in IE. Oh, well. Just have to be careful. At least the spell check works!

Torq! I wonder if this "feature" delia discussed in the attachment problem could be similar...

Ok, folks, we've narrowed down the possibilities as to where the problem lies with the attachment issue... We are assuming the problem is coming when you're posting into Photo Library. If it's a problem elsewhere & NOT there, let us know. the new issue is that it might take a week or two, since the problem isn't just a simple box that needs to be checked in the Panel (which is, oddly enough, sometimes the problem)...

T's aware of the issue now, so he'll work on it and post back when it's fixed.

Because I currently have an edit button (and it works fine) in the Inroductions threads but not other places.

Hope this provides a clue.

[thepast]

Hi Oz,

We know exactly what "happened" to the edit button... it has been temporarily disabled (by the Admins) for misuse. When the situations where the misuse occured are cleared up, and other things are handled, Torq will re-evaluate the edit button's use on the main forums areas... until then... I advise spell check for most of the threads *GRINS*

In terms of the attachment issue... it's a whole different bag of beans... the edit button was an affirmative decision to disable, the attachment issue hasn't resolved since we updated the server. It could be up to a week or two before it's resolved, because a.) there are a few odds & ends that are taking precedent over it, b.) it involves T & Tiger doing some time-consuming troubleshooting together, and c.) we don't know the exact root of the problem...

Thanks everyone for hanging in there on this...

Still having a problem uploading an attachment.... jpg specifically.

Checked the size... tried several sizes. (3)

Loaded as a profile picture no problem, just the Manage Attachment method, failing after pressing the Upload button.

Still had it today. Those pics uploaded to other sites, including photobucket, no problem.

Also tried, from the Manage Attachment page, to upload from the web, i.e., photobucket (upload, not hotlink) and it failed from there as well.

thanx in advance.

Ozme52,I am meeting with the same difficulty in uploading .jpg files,I keep getting "upload failed" as an error code,even with the smallest .jpg images.

[Torq]

Unknown Will look into when possible,,

Anyone else, with same issue??

Just tried to upload again a few mintes ago,Torq.I tried one small jpeg file and it gave the same Upload Error:"Upload of file failed". LOL,here I was thinking there was some sort of filter blocking my Vintage images from being uploaded.But alas several members are having the same error with other images.

[Ozme52]

DownTown Amber mentioned to me she had tried as well.

[DowntownAmber]

Yup, same issue here Torq. Thanks!

Could be delia. Timing is different but the photo uploaded elsewhere (and deleted before it was approved... if you remember) and then I 'decided' a week later to put it in the self-portrait section... and that's where the failure occurs.

[Torq]

OK,,Thread may seem odd,,simple just merged 4 different but the same 'issue' threads together.

I reference to the "edit" feature still work in progress, feature is currently turned off in most areas and will be put back as soon as the "timing" issue is resolved.

The "attachment" feature,, very odd only a very very small group is having any issue,,this alone makes it 100 times harder to 'fix' or narrow down what actual problem is,, it's in the plate but not a super high priority!

As far as the fatal error that was the server crash issue,,that "at present" is resolved!

As far as the virus alert issue , a problem of this nature is inherent on any internet website, please advise me if you see any of these alerts. This could be multiple issues either your net/computer and/or the net or server issues as well?? Thats a pure unknown until its traced!

Again all PLEASE PLEASE be patient,, issues have there priorities!! I fully understand that somethingmay be "Your" priority but it may NOT be the sites same priority. PLEASE be patient.

THANKS ALLLLL

What is the problem with the server? It was NEVER as bad as this

Log-on problems, server seems to just stop or slow down to a crawl, posts get 'lost' or aren't there when the page refreshes, post a reply and then told that I have to wait 30 seconds when it's my first posting, database error messages on quite a few occasions...and posting pictures is a nightmare; it's a hit-and-miss affair whether the server will grind to a halt and lose everything that's been posted.

Very frustrating
