RowdyFan42 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Lately I've noticed that a lot of images are missing. Avatars seem to be disappearing left and right, and the images Sammy attached to the "guy falls into netting at Yankee Stadium" thread aren't there, causing an error to be produced when you click on the thumbnails to view the full-sized images. Is this because of the server mirrors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilMinder Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Yea Rowdy, there is several HTTP servers, but they all feed from the same database server. Essentially uploading an image will only get fed to one of the HTTP servers. So if you land on the one without it, the image X's out. The servers are ending pretty soon, it should clear up .

I would reupload the avatar, it was probably on one of the mirrors. Sorry about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weekes Head Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Hrmm...I'm getting an error message when trying to upload an avatar: Board Message Sorry, an error occurred. If you are unsure on how to use a feature, or don't know why you got this error message, try looking through the help files for more information. The error returned was: The upload failed.

DevilMinder Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Man, that error message was useless! I just uploaded a test image with no problems. Can you describe the image RD, or maybe just AIM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyFan42 Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 (edited) Yeah, I've been getting that same error message. I was trying to upload my current avatar (and the Kool-Aid one I had before that); I finally gave up and hosted it remotely.

DevilMinder Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 That is the right server, interesting. I will look into this. Sorry for the issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilMinder Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Still trying to figure this one out. I think it has something to do with the file permissions, they must have gotten screwed up in the file swapping we just did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanity_gallops Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Whenever you figure it out DM, could ya let me know? I've been battling the error message RD posted... and I've been doing so for some time now! I feel very... un-me without an avatar. No rush!

DevilMinder Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 OK, I gave up and emailed tech support. The file paths were wrong, it was changed from home to home2 during the mirror situation. Avatars are working again, sorry for the delay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
