Nope
 

None of the options come up for me.

Hi Linus,

I have a general Internet/posting question and I'm hoping that you can help me with it. Just starting yesterday I have been having a problem posting images which I believe is unrelated to this site but it affects me here.

My general source for getting images is through Google images. Previously I would occasionally run into a situation where the URL I would copy would be absolutely huge and exceed the character limit of the posting box. It used to be that I would just try a couple of different images and I would quickly find one short enough. Starting yesterday every single image seems to have an excessively huge url. I tried over 40 randomly chosen images all with the same result.

I decided to try emailing them to myself in Gmail. I know that does not have the character limit. Every single one that I tried worked fine, and were not even slow to preview.

Do you know if there is a new policy out there in the wild Internet, or copyright issue, that might be creating these enormous URL addresses? I looked around a bit and could find no information.

Thank you

It has to do with the original orientation of the photo. Likely because of the iPhone. I'd suggest saving it with photo editing software in the orientation you want and upload it with that from the camera roll.

IIRC, if you edit the photo you'll get an option to delete.

May not be able to. Sorry. :(

FYI
 

Site weirdness?
 

I just did a repair/optimize on the database. Hopefully, it'll settle down now.

Looks like our chat server company is doing some testing this morning that is affecting connectability.

Should be a temporary issue.

POKE POKE POKE ADMINS please look.
 

Nope - The server that houses our database for the site is completely different than the chat server.

I'm doing some repair work on the database. It will be bouncy for a bit!

Also, in chat, when I try to pm it says they are logged out when they are still in the chat room. Nitro said the other day he had same issue. I tried logging out, clearing my browser cache and logging back in, still same message when I tried again. Weird.

I have a question, please.
 

If I direct link to the chatrooms via my address bar, can I log into chat whilst bypassing the login to the forums or must I be logged into both simultaneously?

I could probably just conduct a couple of experiments and find out, but my poor laptop won't hold up to the stress, lol.

Thanks in advance for any input! :)

Hi, I just noticed something and don't know how long it has been happening.

I went to send a link to one of my old posts to a friend, and in it I had linked to some images in a photobucket account. When I went back to find that old post today I found that for some reason it is displaying images from my photobucket account but not all the ones associated with the post. They seem to be just random images from that account. I no longer have any way to edit the posts to remove those images.

What I have done is I went to photobucket and I set all albums and libraries to complete privacy in the hopes that they would no longer display since I believe it is done via the link. No luck, it is still random images.

I'm not sure what else I can do on my end. I know that photo bucket has had service updates in the past I'm not sure whether or not that might have caused it.

I need to fix this.

Send me the link to the post and I will remove the photobucket link.

Thank you :cheesy:

Difficulty with Arcade games
 

Hi Linus,

I am having difficulty playing both Poker Star and Death Row Diner, after the introduction I am left with a blank screen. I have been able to play other games that I tried. Obviously it is not an emergency but if you have any suggestions that I could try I would appreciate it. Thank you for your time.

Hrmm.. I took a quick look at Poker Star and think we may have to re-install it. I'll give that a try later today and see if that works.

Hey Linus....I'm having an issue trying to change my avatar pic as well as my profile pic. No matter how many different pics I try to change each one to,
it keeps coming up "invalid file".



Also, a paying member here has changed their e-mail address recently, and has lost their password. How shall this member proceed at this point?


Your expertise within these areas would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you....~T

Nevermind, must have been a hiccup!

The avatar issue may be related to the gallery issue (members may notice that they cannot upload images; I think it may be due to a migration our internet provider did recently). I'll try to see what I can do for that.

For lost passwords, they should go to this link to reset it: http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/foru....php?do=lostpw

Good Morning.

Couple of times last night and this a.m. I clicked on the "button" to thank someone and had one of the following happen:

1 All the other icons next to that "thanks" button disappeared

2 My name didn't appear below the post I thanked. The other names tha were there just before I clicked "thanks" disappeared as well

OR

3 Been logged off and had to log in again, password and all.

The first 2 usually happen simultaneously. Reloading the page brings everything back to normal, as if I hadn't clicked the "thanks" at all.

None of the posts I "thanked" last night have my name below them either.

I'm using an iPad2. Is it me or you? In either case, am I concerned?

Edited to add the following:

After posting the above I clicked on "user CP" and was bumped off again.

Could be the iPad (button disappearing and such). For the logging in and out issue, are you checking the "Remember Me?" button? That is meant to keep you constantly logged in.

I think this has been asked before but I can't find it.

Why can't I play games on my iPad in the Arcade? I never use my computer anymore but think the games are only accessible on a computer.

Is that the reason? Can they be changed in any way to include an iPad?

Many thanks Linus for all you do to keep us up and running.

I thought it was just me!

Because the games are flash and not supported. And there is no way to change it to play on the iPad.

Hi Linus,

Don't know if this is OK to ask you this. Tell me to eff off if it's not. Any idea why 3 different websites say my ip address is 3 different things and give 3 different locations for me? Sorry for the non BFP related question. Trying to learn some techno info after reading things here and there in the forums. Just wondered if someone was messing with my internet or computer or if this is normal.

Thanks.

Send me a PM with what you are seeing. It will depending on who your provider is and whether or not info is being proxied or not.

I am sure someone asked this at one time but do not recall the answer: can anyone who is not a member see pictures that we post in the gallery, or are they visible only to members?

Also, can those pictures that we do post, somehow be entered into something like Google images with some kind of magic google software, without us knowing or consenting?

:perv:

Thanks.

The answer to 1 is no. They cannot even look at your profile.

As for question 2, that's a little fuzzy. Because guests cannot look at pictures, the Google search cannot crawl through and find them. That said, there is nothing that prevents an user from copying it and pasting it (this can be done by someone with some knowledge of HTML).

Rule of thumb: if you do not want it out there, do not post it anywhere!

Hrmm.. that's very odd. Angie was looking into it last night and we didn't see anything. if it happens again, let us know before you change it. It may help us narrow down the cost.
