A recent chat in the Supporter's forum made me aware that, for the past few years, the PayPal transactions have mostly been showing my personal email address and DBA instead of "Cameraderie"! 😲 Whoops. After digging into the issue a bit, I realized what was going on. Many, many, many years I...

Hopefully will improve soon. Cliff Notes: A bot out of China was aggressively scanning one of my other side-project sites, the bot is now blocked from that site (it was already blocked on the other sites but I missed it blocking it on that site). Longer Version: I got an email today from...

Unfortunately it was disabled longer than I hoped :( but the best fix for the problem was when we did the last big server update instead of trying to shoehorn in a temporary solution. I just saw this mention about .webp support. Until the next big forum software update .webp won't be coming...

PNG was turned back on last November, where are you trying to use a PNG and what error are you getting?

@Irene McC any change to your browser or machine? Was the jpg processed using different software?

I didn't even know there was a version of Edge for Android. Sounds like you may be in "BB Code" mode. You can switch the editor from its normal GUI mode to BB Code mode for manually entering BB Codes to do formatting. When in BB Code mode most of the editor buttons are disabled because they...

Thanks, it's been added. 👍

Rick, which post is that from?

Ooops, try now. :)

If we have any real members connecting through Alibaba in China New York.... sorry, but I'm (temporarily?) having to block some traffic. In the last 24 hours cameraderie.org has gotten 462K requests from an Alibaba IP. I haven't checked the other sites on the server but 462K in 24 hours from a...

Working on it... For the tech crowd: Elasticsearch has been upgrade from ES6 to ES7, did a clean install. Pouring through the various S3, Cloudfront, & Cloudflare logs. Interestingly ksoftirqd CPU usage on the server is high, trying to figure out where the connections are coming from. For...

Okay, that was more than a blip. My phone never lost connection so I didn't realize that there was an issue till I tried a different device. Whoops. 😳

There may be a blip or two during the next few hours for tonight's experiment.

Some experiments will be taking place. :eek:

For the non-tech crowd.... it seems to be a regional issue and all indications so far seem to be that it is related to which Amazon 'cloud' server is being hit. I know, it's a bit of pain because the problem starts & stops on its own but we're at the mercy of Amazon so we're trying to find out...

Can you give a link to one of the threads & page where you were getting 30 seconds for the image to load? That'll help determine if everybody is seeing that or if just some regions. On the server side nothing has changed so there's nothing we can change back to; it'd be great if there was an...

Ben, for now nothing for you to do. Some folks are having issues with images loading slow while at the same time other folks are not having the issue. Nothing has changed on the server side so we're trying to figure out what might be going on.

@Zeus1 / @christilou / @Charzes44 With the 'lazy load' stuff turned off temporarily, are you seeing any differences?

Thanks for confirming. :) I'll leave the 'lazy load' stuff (add-on & tweaks) turned off for a bit to see if others have different experiences now also, good or bad. @Ben Casper - Were slow image loading what you were having a problem with also?

So you're seeing a noticeable speed increase of the actual images loading?

Hhhhhhmm...... from my home connection in the US I'm getting a slight delay when going through Google's VPN but nothing that long. Pages are loading near instant and then maybe a 1-2 delay while images load. As an experiment I've disabled the 'lazy loading' functionality temporarily to see if...

The outline has always been there (well, at least for the last few years), it was just thinner. With it being grey & thin the outline wasn't really noticeable on some of the styles unless somebody scrolled down enough and realized that the EXIF data was showing below the outline while the image...

The loading message is new, previously just a square outline would show while the image loaded leading some to think there was no image or that it didn't load.

Hopefully folks remember that we are a free, privately-owned community with no advertising or corporate backing, on occasion there will be trade-offs. While it would be nice to throw copious amounts of cash at issues for resources on-demand there are times when problems need to be worked through. ☕

Server load is only at 2%, no run-away processes eating CPU time or memory, plenty of free space on the local drives. Could be Amazon's 'cloud' causing some delays loading pages with images. 🤔 Going to the Microsoft solution in a few minutes.

Checking in.... Had some lag on my phone last night & early AM, seems to be better now. Still seeing a slight delay on my phone but not on my laptop. Network trace isn't showing much at the moment.

Submitting @bobriess 'blue hour' of Florence... https://cameraderie.org/threads/firenze-san-miniato-al-monte.56683/

I'm catching up on my reading and came across this thread. Pardon me for not directly addressing some of the points that have already been talked about, but sometimes it's best/easier to not circle back. Anyway, this thread got me to take a look at the "Other Gear" and I realized that was one...

PNG is back. For anybody trying to do copy & paste screen shots, please let me know if you're still encountering issues.

An early 'heads-up' that there is some subtle re-organizing of the forums going on. Nothing major but a couple of forums are likely to be moved around. If you're looking for a particular forum and don't see then be sure to check out the main "Forums" listing or ask in here and we'll let you...

When you click on the alert icon, look to the left side of the row.

🤔 All of the styles have a different color background on the unread versus read alerts, all of the unread alerts have a big white dot next to them (that I will be making blue in a bit instead of white), and all unread alerts are grouped together at the top of the pop-up list & page.

In your account preferences change the Alerts summarize threshold value to a higher value. https://cameraderie.org/account/preferences

I'm slowly changing the blue. The "Light" and "Really Dark" styles should now be more subdued. I'll work on the others tonight or over the weekend.

This will occur if you get multiple alerts of the same type for the same content and they are all unread. The default value of "multiple" is 4. To clarify, if you get 4 or more reactions to the same post then instead of seeing 4 different alerts all unread, you'll see them summarized as 1 new...

Oooooh, OK, now I see how it's working. The Never mark alerts as read option is per thread, not per alert. If I have 3 alerts for Thread A, and 2 alerts for Thread B, the alerts icon will show "5". With the option enabled I can click the icon, view the list of alerts, and if I click on...

Hhhhhhhmm.... what I'm running into is that I have the option changed to be the same, and I can click the 'alerts' pop-up and move away from it without having them marked as read, but if I click on any alert then all of my alerts are getting switched to read status so it's only half-working for...

That'll be the result for folks who don't change their account preferences. For folks who do want their alerts to remain marked as 'unread' unless they click on them, it'll be matter of changing their preferences. For the folks who don't change their account preferences, having the unread...

At the moment, unless anybody has gone into their account preferences page and changed any options, the only differences are (1) the blue background and (2) all unread alerts are now grouped together at the top of the pop-up list. The background color can be changed and will likely be. For...

I'll work on muting the blue background a bit over the weekend. Right now it's one of the few color schemes that shows up on all of the style choices, as time permits I'll break it up so each style as its own color definition instead of a single shared definition. 🎨 I've been trying the...

Has everyone seen the GAS thread prefix in the forums? I could make the new alert background really stand out. 🌈😂

The blue can be adjusted :LOL: , I've got it set at least so that it shows up consistently across all of the different styles available. Spending some time with the add-on tonight I've got a better feel for its quirks. There's some options that could really make it confusing if folks start...

Hold that thought.....

Do you not see a blue background on your unread alerts?

It's not quite a blue circle but try now. Blue background acceptable?

Somebody mind replying to this thread again.... I need to see an alert for an 'unread' thread.

At the behest of one our volunteer mods. They've used it elsewhere and thought it'd be beneficial. cough*Brian*cough

Blue circles?
