Re: Technical Issues and Problems
It's an insane world and I have no part in it. Perhaps that sums up PJM. No other blog I can think of seems as determined to alienate their established subscriber base as a large number of them, I suspect, use older powerPCs as I do.....

Re: Technical Issues and Problems
The hosting service has a network problem that had the OTNOT site offline for the last several hours.

Re: Technical Issues and Problems
I noticed that. The forum is still having technical problems; it's slow to load each page. Does this have the same cause?Typhoon wrote:The hosting service has a network problem that had the OTNOT site offline for the last several hours.

I also find the forum slow and it often freezes, but I assumed that this was due to hosting issues for what is, after all, a free service maintained by volunteers. I don't expect the response times of a Korean e-sports league.

Re: Technical Issues and Problems
Are forum members still experiencing this slow response time problem?

BBC | Global internet slows after 'biggest attack in history'
The internet around the world has been slowed down in what security experts are describing as the biggest cyber-attack of its kind in history.
A row between a spam-fighting group and hosting firm has sparked retaliation attacks affecting the wider internet.
It is having an impact on popular services like Netflix - and experts worry it could escalate to affect banking and email systems.

At the moment I can't deconvolve between this being a site specific problem and the general internet problem linked above.
Once the latter is dealt with, then I'll look into it when I have a moment.

Te Spamhaus attackis apparently over, but I am seeing slower downloads than I was earlier today. It takes several minutes between clicks here if not getting timeouts.Typhoon wrote:Thank you.YMix wrote:Sometimes, yes.Typhoon wrote:Are forum members still experiencing this slow response time problem?

The site response appears to be back up to speed. At least for me.

Re: Technical Issues and Problems
Typhoon: it isn't a recent problem but one that has been on-going. I typically do not remain logged into the site and only log in to make replies. When I do so, I am taken to another log-in page before being returned to the reply screen. I haven't seen that behavior before on other phpBB forums, including one I administer. Is anyone else experiencing this?

A forum member pointed out to me that embedding pictures with the [img] tag and an url to its original source might infringe copyright. What to do?
Re: Technical Issues and Problems
Hot-linking, embedding pictures with the [img].%20.%20.[/img] tag and an url to its original source, should be avoided.Parodite wrote:A forum member pointed out to me that embedding pictures with the [img] tag and an url to its original source might infringe copyright. What to do?
Please use one of the free image uploading - hosting sites instead:
postimage.org
imageshack.us
tinypic.com
photobucket.com
etc.

Hot Links and other Web Digestive problems.........

Is there a problem with hot linking to Wikipedia images? AIUI the images there are copyright free or small and fair use?
Likewise hot linking to videos on You Tube and similar?

Re: Hot Links and other Web Digestive problems.........
I would assume Wiki pics and youtube are ok. Otherwise I would think they would not give links. On the other hand I did not think that posting pics /with the URL was a problem.monster_gardener wrote:Thank You VERY Much for maintaining the Forum, Typhoon.Typhoon wrote:Hot-linking, embedding pictures with the [img].%20.%20.[/img] tag and an url to its original source, should be avoided.Parodite wrote:A forum member pointed out to me that embedding pictures with the [img] tag and an url to its original source might infringe copyright.

Re: Technical Issues and Problems
Greetings, Typhoon.
Many thanks.
I may be a slow typist: twice now, while compiling a post and doing a little research in the background, I've finished composing a reply — and found that after I click "submit" I'm required to log in again — and whatever it is I've just finished writing is wiped from the cache altogether. Rather than wrack my brains to remember what it is I just finished writing, I opt to slink back to matters related to work. I'm not sure if this is to preserve bandwidth and keep cost down — or if it's merely my glacial pace ill-fitted to the era of texts and tweets. If it's the former — quite understandable — I'll prep first in a text editor and copy and paste in one go. If it's just a default "log out after X min." setting that costs you not a penny more, please consider multiplying it by a bunch.
Regards,
Y
