Another day another set of problems!

Eric Chadwick

Damnit, our forum software provider has messed a few things up. I've opened some tickets for these, and will let you all know once I get some updates.

1. All the banner images are blank. This looks like a permissions problem on their end.

2. Image embeds in posts are small and incorrect aspect ratio. They used to be correct aspect ratio, and scaled to fit the width of the post.

3. Image embeds using http: are invisible. This was a change forced on us without warning. Images using https: work fine.

Anyhow sorry for the trouble, and if you see anything else, lemme know!

A 600x600 famous photo from Nasa of the Earth. 

When editing, it fits the width of the post:


But after posting, it's scaled small and the incorrect aspect ratio:

When you think really hard you get a little concerned about the shell we where being made out of, since... we make the same stuff on the porcelain throne... try to have a good one.

Makes the term "Holy s#!t", to a new level.

The creators joke and humbling of all of us, tbh.  considered me humble after learning that..ooph.

O/t: thanks for the heads up appreciate it when we run into issues, i forget what didn't work the other day.. dang it..sometimes to lazy to mention it but one of the posting options.

img worked fine on my end.

perhaps there's something you can do about region restricted images ? this is the front page for me.... many many threads are the same ?

I suspect those images are hosted elsewhere, can you confirm? Imgur has been really aggressive about this lately.

Yeah, that's the Imgur one alright. They stopped serving the UK because of the dumbfuck "Online Safety" act the government did.

We can’t fix this on our end unfortunately. There is a solution however… use a vpn to spoof your IP locale.
