Issues with New Forum

Thank you, Mullins, I have reported it to our agency.

Pardon my cynicism, but every time I hear of an IT change or "improvement" it invariably creates more hassles. I hope the change to a new server proves smoother than the change from the old forum to the new one.

Thank you for your comment David. Our intention is to provide a seamless move to the new server and improve the performance of the Forum for the community.

Thanks Mitch, let's all keep our fingers crossed.

Is the migration complete? I see a thread "Hello from the golden state" shows up under new posts, but is a dead link when you try to access it.

JR, Yes, they just completed the migration. I am spot checking the Forum for any issues. I just logged off and the new post link worked; try refreshing your browser, but let me know if there is a problem.

Mitch, I was trying to upload a .jpg that I had previously successfully uploaded, and I got a message saying it was corrupted. Tried several others that should have worked and got the same message. Anybody else having this problem?

[admin]

Hi JR,

I haven't heard from anyone on this as an issue. A few people posted pictures last night. Let me know if the problem continues - you're using the camera icon, correct?

Mitch

[JRPizza]

Yes, but I tried both ways. Even tried to attach one I attached last week with no luck.

Mitch, I see all communication with the forum appears to be https secure, which I thought was usually reserved for credit card and other sensitive transactions. Is this only on my machine or is this intentional. Maybe part of my problem, or at least a symptom?

[admin]

JR,

One idea from the vBulletin forum is it could be a browser setting/add on; can you try a different browser?

[JRPizza]

Maybe. I send you a jpg via gmail. Can you see if you can attach it to a response here?

[admin]

JR,

Your jpg iimage wouldn't upload for me either - showed "corrupted" message. I converted it to a .png and it uploaded, but you may have to play around with the image size.

Mitch

[JRPizza]

Interesting. If you could open it, it's not corrupted. I'm cutting bricks right now, will play with it later. I also sent you a message the other day via gmail.

Mitch, I just tried to load the exact same images I uploaded in post #206 of my build thread using Explorer 11 (previous failed attempts were using Firefox) and was again told they were corrupted. I have not changed or modified these images since I uploaded them last, so this feels like some change that happened with the migration. These images are "snapshots" from my cad program, but I have been able to post them many times over the past year or so. I'd like to get this resolved or it will make it very problematic to document my build any further. I also tried to reload the image I used in post #203 of my build and received the message "File exceeds PHP's file-size limit of 2.00 MB", which is different as this file worked before. Are there new size limits or is this something that only I am seeing?
