November 2023 Server Migration Notes

Sure wish I could post photos again... Still working on testing work arounds:

Here's a test to see if you can post a photo by first uploading to Google photos and then posting the link. The photo is of the kit of the aftermarket LiBCM aftermarket install on Gen 1 Honda Insight. Super excited about this project. First link is of one photo and second link is the whole folder of photos:

Lol, I guess we traded in duplicate posting due to server latency for inability to post photos.

But on the bright side we can still post Youtube videos:

 

sylvaing posted up-thread in post #22 that posting the image on Imgur and adding a link to it worked.

 

I'd be happy to help test the upgraded site.

Cheers.

 

Still can’t post a pic.

 

As per my posts above, Youtube videos are now being turned into unlinked photos hours later after posting.

So if you want to post a photo, just create a youtube video and then make your the photo you want to post your video's thumbnail.

 

for example this Youtube link "Angry People vs. Computers Compilation" created a video and I watched the whole thing after I posted it. But come back the next day after the system has processed the video and it's just a photo stripped of text & link. Likely some kind of process that wipes embed codes from the system for security reasons.

 

The video is there and played okay for me, so I don't think that is it.

Your three other YT videos up thread are still there and playable.

 

Yea, it's back to normal today... If you click refresh on this thread you can see the image I was complaining about load first. Then a half second later the videos load.

So I guess that particular glitch I was experiencing: Threads not fully loading on refresh.

And to your point: No longer seems to be an issue

 

Testing ... internal image link - my 2006 transportation:

(option to resize images would be a nicety)

 

Cool pics.

You're going through some hoops to post them? Trying to paste an image in clipboard, and/or uploading a jpeg via "upload a file" button, is still broken.

 

Danny, I've got too much experience with TLS/SSL and various connection types.

First and most important: email and web are entirely separate. Don't confuse the two.

I don't have time right now, but what you need is to separately analyse the two. Plenty of tools out there. You can allow 1.3 without denying many older protocols.

more later

 

Not sure if it's been mentioned: can't paste text.

^ I just pasted that.

What browser are you using, and exactly what happens with pasting text?

 

What browser are you using

^ just copied/pasted yours too, on an iPhone with safari.

exactly what happens with pasting text?

^ and the above I copied/pasted with Google Chrome on a PC, same one that wouldn't paste before. And just to verify in that past instance, I was able to paste in a text editor.

So for some reason, it wasn't working, but now it is.
