It’s alright.

*hums guitar* Sun, sun, sun, here it comes. 

I tried uploading some attachments, but it wouldn’t give me the attachment box; fortunately I was able to view existing image uploads and so was able to access the gifs I needed. Just thought it curious. mmm had the same problem, I think.

While it’s not working, you can upload gifs to imgur since it doesn’t require an account.

It looks like it was my stupid fault that broke the maps and forum. I think I’ve undone my idiocy.

Thanks for your patience all.

@Starr Shine? I’ve not been online all evening (as it is here), but I was expecting some downtime when the server changes took place. I was told it would only be a few moments, so with a bit of luck it didn’t make a practical difference.

Quick heads-up that the server is currently under heavy load. My hosts found some compromised files in another of my sites (on the same server), and they think it’s likely that this site is being hit with brute force attacks looking for vulnerabilities in the same way.

We’re putting some security measures in place. Hopefully it won’t negatively affect people here, but if anyone has trouble logging in please contact me via the link at the bottom of this and every page.

Its not a big deal @Joe but if videos or images are now displayed in spoilers they dont display properly. Shows fine in post preview but not when submitted – example below.

^ Looks good to me.  Maybe it was only a temporary condition or a glitch in your system, @meanmistermustard.

I say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, 'The Beatles did'.

I see the same thing as mmm. The videos do play once you click on the arrow.

Yeah, I see that too. As AG mentioned they do work when the play button is clicked on.

Since the number of videos in spoilers is typically low, let’s just learn to live with it (ie I don’t know how to fix it).

Don’t know if anyone else is getting this, but the bottom of this page is weird for me!

It’s fine up to @Beatlebug’s “Reveal Spoiler” then everything goes big and moves to the left-hand side, with her signature somehow appearing between Upcoming Birthday ‘s and the grey site info box at the bottom of the page.

Tried reloading a few times. Tried leaving the thread and going back to it. Keeps coming up the same.

Yep that page is weird. The formatted is switched to the left.

 

It’s only for that page though. Hmm. It might be from the large text in spoiler. I’ll test that out.

 

Was fine here

 

I’m gonna copy here post and put it in the derail to see if that has the same effects.

I repeated the effect! I think it is the spoiler + heading + image

 

The image was coded for the spoiler but it isn’t inside it for some reason. One more test.

 

It did. Now I shall edit the spoiler+heading+image out and see if that fixes it.

 

It did.
