File uploads no good again?

Seems for me today, that file uploads are failing in the same way they did back in August of last year:

Photos not saving to server

I've got a thread in the restoration forum. I've posted tons of photos but when I've tried to post the latest batch I'm being told there is an issue saving it to the server and only an admin can fix it. Any idea what's up? I have reached out to iboats on the contract page and I'm happy to...

forums.iboats.com

Had it both on my phone earlier and now on my laptop... both were on my WiFi so technically it could be ISP related?

Same here. Can't upload from phone or laptop.

Still not working.

Unfortunately these types of issues (photos & emails mostly) ((but a few others too)) that arise every so often like this are scheduled timely events pre-set up by former iboats administration team for rumored to be security reasons and in transition it can honestly only be guessed that the new IT team isn’t fully aware enough to keep up on it all.

Each time something like photos, forum error codes or anything else significant pops up, one of the moderators do tend to reach out to let someone know of the problem once it becomes known so in turn that person can start the relay process to whoever is part of the new IT team that’s able to resolve the matter at hand.

Once a problem reveals itself, it unfortunately seems to take a good bit of time to get things resolved especially nowadays.

Hang tight everyone and just know that the issues are on the website side and not yours.

testing hotlink from imgur.

Until fixed here is old school way, takes a bit and difficult from a phone rather than a computer but pics really do help us understand what yuo are looking at.


Upload pic to your Facebook or a third party like imgur or Google photos, take the direct link to the Pic and wrap in old school code . No spaces. Type in (img)thenthepiclinkhere(/img) HOWEVER replace all ( ) with [ ]. If i type I with the correct brackets it disappears and you will not see it.

from my imgur i can right click on each pic and get the image address. Google photos works the same way

on facebook it takes three clicks. First to open post in new tab then click to open image in new tab then copy from the address bar or right click and copy image address.

the insert photo does not work if it is https.

The insert link does work only we all would need to click on the link to see it, just having the pic avail in the post is nice.

The banner message went away for some reason. It is back now. Still trying to get this resolved. Stay tuned.
