Significant Site Upgrade Complete

[Mike Bobbitt]

All,

I wanted to let you know that this morning, a major upgrade was completed on the site. It resulted in only a few minutes of downtime, but moves us forward to the current version of our operating system. This provides much greater security and a few new administrative features. If you notice any problems, please let me know.


Cheers
Mike

I'm unable to post into the Military Discounts thread. Tried it on both Milnet and Navy, neither worked.

I posted into it okay...

So I guess I can post, just got 2x 403 errors inside the forum when trying to make replies. Gonna test a bit more and update this post.

Update: The error only occurs when I try to post a reply with a quote in it. Normal posting works, as does editting.

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

OK, I think I know what's happening... I'll take a look...

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

I've either made things better, or worse.

Same - e-mail inbound with specific error message.

Lets see, is this better?

Edit: Yep, its better, quotes work now.

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

Pretty sure it's still not fixed, though it may be a bit better...

I'm not sure if it's an upgrade problem, but I was trying to attach a photo (400ish KB) and I got a white screen with this:

I had the same problem last night.  Total three files of 75 to 160 kb each, and I had to split them over multiple posts.

There's a 200K limit on pics....I find that if I slightly resize the pic in "Infranview"...the algorithm brings them down dramatically smaller than the original and still maintains most of the quality...

There is a free "Image Resizer" PowerToy for Windows XP/Vista/7 that works pretty well, too.

Just got the same sort of message trying to attach a 126 KB PDF file in the Libyan fracas thread.

Same here, with a 177 Kb image attachment;

I've made a change... hopefully it will help more than it hurts.

Can I expect to get banned again?  ;D

That depends on what Starbucks you frequent.    >

It is a sure thing if you press the Any Key.

I seem to be having trouble logging in constantly over the last few days.  It keeps telling me there is an error due to cookies.  And the only thing I know about cookies is that I eat too many of them.  Not sure if this is as a result of the changes or not but I have only noticed this problem in the last 3 days or so.
