    Well, my problem is back.

    DJ's latest post in his "Finally got a start on shed site" thread looks like Pic 1 to me.

    Following a link brings up the logon screen. (Pic 2)

    Logging in opens the full-size pic in a new window and after closing the pic window and doing a refresh on the original post it now looks like Pic 3... and stays that way for the rest of the session.

    It only does this on pix which are embedded in the body text. The "normal" thumbnails at the bottom of the screen work perfectly 100% of the time.

    FWIW: Win2K, Firefox 2.0.0.6 and I always tick "remember me" when logging in. Both initially and for these "in-thread" logins>

    You could be right, DJ - I'm having problems viewing any posts including my own which have used the paperclip icon to move the pix.

    I'm logged in to www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au and your pix are www.woodworkforums.com

    Now I'm pretty sure I ain't loggin' in on one domain to post and another domain to read... but if the forum SW is renaming the domain when it moves the link...? I'd go check the links to my own pix (the ones' I had trouble with earlier) but Neil had a play with 'em after I first reported the problem, so he may've changed all that.

    Neil,

    "Blogs" in the menu bar only appears using the "BASIC" skin.

    Strange?

    Midge, thanks, they are aware of this and will get to it once the bigger alligators are under control.

    Default 1 Forum, 2 Addresses

    Not really sure whether this is related to the forum updates, but when I checked one of DJs threads with embedded thumbnails, I was asked to log in, even though I was logged in! (if you can follow that?)

    Anyway, in his reply DJ asked whether I was logged in to woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au or woodworkforums.com. So I checked and I was checked in to the ubeaut address.

    My question is why 2 http addresses for the one forum? Just to confuse us mere mortals?
    It certainly appears to cause some picture link problems.

    That is strange as I am using the Ubeaut Skin with IE7 Win XP SP2 logged into www.woodworkforums.com and I can log into the Blogs without any problems. I don't know if that helps.

    Barry, can you see "Blogs" in the menu bar? It is possible to get there in any skin but only one has the menu bar option at this stage.

    Sorry Groggy I misunderstood I thought you meant the Menu in the User CP not the main menu bar but as others have said I can see it in the Basic Skin.

    HOPEFULLY I have fixed all the problems with nav bar, paperclip, etc Projects and Blogs should be visible on the bar in all skins now.

    Did a few tests with paperclip and they all worked fine. Those mentioned have also reverted to the way they should have been.

    Don't ya just love upgrades. And it's not over yet either. Server had a major upgrade oto the latest php code today and Steven is waiting to see it it all falls over before we continue the upgrades here.

    Now back to the youtube problem in the other thread.

    Cheers - Neil

    Well, no question I've been derelict about upgrading my software. OS (W2K-P) got hosed a while back, and I re-installed from the CD. Unfortunately, the CD was about 6 months older than the version Dell installed before shipping the golem. I delayed upgrading from Redmond because of estimated 3 or 4 days connect time needed - interactive dial-up to boot. My brother had downloaded via DSL, and put the whole works on a CD for his ex; sent me a copy. Still expected 2-6 hours interactive, and need to backup. Still pending, alas, but not for long. The 2-6 hours is probably less than the time I've already wasted. (including elsewhere mostly)

    I'm not surprised to get "issues" now (other problems with formatting replies, but not the same as Coldamus), but the only one that really throws me is the one about logging in to view pictures. Sawmill Creek has a similar "feature;" also uses VBulletin. Is it possible that "feature" was implemented with the upgrade? Either accidentally or deliberately? Previously, WWF pictures were viewable without registration. In fact, I've cited WWF links in e-mails to non-members.

    I tried viewing without logging in, and got the error message. Lurking before I joined didn't work that way. I'll see how it works on a mate's (non-member) new machine in a bit.

    Hi Joe - You're right the pics have been turned off for non registered members some are available but most aren't. We have had major problems with people coming on and downloading everything in sight to the detriment of the forums speed and usability.

    We are not the only ones to do this as you say more over we were actually the exception to the rule rather then the norm. But have now joined the ranks of those who want the big forums to run quicker and smoother.

    We have had as many as 400 people in a 1 minute period trying to all down load pictures at the same time and it absolutely kills the speed of the forums for everyone.





    Embedded pics like these will still be available to anyone but those which are uploaded froma personal computer will not. It is possible that we may open the pics up for all again later on down the track when the bandwidth is a lot bigger and the server a lot faster but the way we're growing I don't know

    Cheers - Neil

    Thanks for the explanation, Neil. Perils of becoming too good, I guess. Working from Windows Vista, so I'll see how the formatting situation is too. Bold? Underline? Smilies?

    Looks good to me.

    Windows Explorer ver 6.0 SP1
    What operating system?
    Windows 2000 SP4 on Pentium 4 2.0g
    What exactly is the problem?
    Haven't had any real problems but will report them if I do.
    PS it is also possible that some of the problems could be stemming from the fact that we've been working furiously in the back room over the past 3 days, still are and probably will be for another day or so.
    Don't spend too much time in the back room without comeing out for some air or a?e.
