[2017-07-08] Maintenance finished

QUICK MESSAGE:

Hi everyone, the site will be offline for brief routine maintenance, starting at the top of the hour (17h00 GMT). Sorry for the inconvenience!

Done! Thanks for your patience.

Did I miss that? It is 16h32 GMT now

Errr, make that 17h00 GMT. :stuck_out_tongue: I had no idea they adjusted it for daylight savings time.

What software is the forum on?

Drupal 7.

Cool.
I was gonna suggest migrating to ipboard since there’s a ton of features we don’t have currently, but you can’t really compare them since one is free and the other is paid…
Probably not worth it for such a small community.

Didn’t notice anything, nice
Thanks SB!

A quick message from “you know who”….

“Gawd, how I still hate BLF for hijacking all my members. I was hoping you’d crash your software permanently this time, and eliminate my greatest competition!”

“PS - pic was taken when I was an athletic, slender, young hottie!”

noticed posts in the latest posts column but not in that forum.
some sort of database glitch?the latest link gets you to the post but its not in the list in that forum.

Hmm, could you give me an example please?

the crap flashlights post in off topic.
but it seems to have caught up now.

OK, thanks. Please let me know right away if you see any other oddities.

Hey Sb its probably just me. I have been trying to use the advanced post editor but i cant seem to add pics? I tried all the options that Flickr let me use. Like if i add pics from the simple post editor then to go advance it works but muddles the page up.
Then when i go back to basic its stuffed lol. Like i cant work out what is what.

I only tried advanced because the bold and columns selection where acting funny in the simple post editor.

Hi there, it looks like Flickr tries to make it fairly difficult to link to their photos, but it is possible. The thing is that the picture URL must end in a picture format, such as .png .jpg or something similar. For example, this URL:

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4225/35127972471_d6e63caee9_k.jpg

I also noticed that links with exclamation marks or some other non-letter characters (like !#)(&$^@%) will get broken when try to paste as a link or as an image.
As if the forum thinks the link ended somewhere in the middle when there is still more.

Yes, if that happens please switch the post to the Advanced Post Editor.

I see, thanks.

just noticed another anomaly.
posted an update to the polished turds thread in led lanterns.
post is there but didnt update.it would be the newest post in led lanterns but does not show.
its there if i look.like a lag in updating things.

Thanks snakebite for the report. I think I have things tweaked a bit better now.

Note that the slight delay that you were seeing was only happening when you navigated BLF while logged out. What happens is that some pages are cached for users that are not logged in.
