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.
