Forum Software Update

[Mike]

We will be updating the back end of the forum software over the next couple of days. You may see an occasional interruption. Thank you for your patience.

I like the AS website format. It has valuable navigation tools like when looking at new posts the "first unread" button" and the fact there are navigation links at the top of each page are a couple. I don't participate on some forums I would like to due to lack of navigation. This may be a minor inconvenience for sighted users but using adaptive software it's a must. Imagine a forum like WBF where they have several pages per thread who wants to scroll through all that just to see where the first unread post is. WBF is actually one of the forums that lack good navigation.

AS also has Headers which is a valuable navigation tool. Kudos for your accessibility and usability.

If the software update you mention has anything to do with the crisp speed of the forum; thank you!

I hope the performance of the website persists. The best I've experienced in quite some time.

Unable to post pictures. Not sure if related to the software update.

You are the admin and that might make a difference.

I am getting this message: "IMG_7761.jpg - This is not a valid image file."

Perhaps others can chime in.

Doesn’t look like it on my end. Just as with Mike, no problem here, either.

Pic of Colin Edwards in Rainey Corner I shot at the US MotoGP at Laguna in 2012…

Just for a moment; the cats were bugging me for an early morning snack before ther regular breakfast. They can be very persistent and insistent.

Do you mean that you are also having problems uploading pictures?

No problem with either Safari or Brave...this is Stefan Bradl, in the same MotoGP race Colin was in above. Using Brave for this post.

So was I.

 

[mxk116]

So was I.

I got the same "invalid file" message earlier this week when I tried to download jpeg images to my media gallery. Previously that was a drag and drop process. I even converted the "invalid" jpegs to pdf files but that didn't work either. I will try again once I have some images to post.

yes

Obviously there is an issue with the software upgrade and several folks have noted that they are experiencing the same problem.

Working on it. [emoji41]

I am also trying to upload JPG files and getting a simple <filename>.jpg: File Upload Failed error message. I get the same message from the web client on MacOS (in Google Chrome) and similar error message in the mobile client (Tapatalk Pro).

 

[Puma Cat]

Just some additional info, not sure if this is tied into the problems folks above have been having or not, but I'm having probems getting the AS web site to load.


Specifics: I can get in if I use Apple’s Safari on the wifi network* from my home's ATT U-verse’s Pace router, but I cannot get the AS site landing page to load when:
1) I try to log in or, once logged in, getting a post to "load" with the Express VPN desktop app up and running on my Mac while connecting on the ATT U-Verse network.
2) Using my much more secure Aircove router (also from Express VPN)
3) If I try to log in with the Brave app on either network, I cannot get in at all.
4) Also, when I try to use the Brave web browser, it gives me a “warning” that the AS site may not be “secure”.

Not sure if this is related to the network-based failure modes other folks have been encountering when trying to link to photos, but it may be, just providing this info for reference.

I am still getting <filename>.jpg: File Upload Failed error message from the web client on MacOS (in Google Chrome or Firefox) and similar error message in the mobile client (Tapatalk Pro).
