Thanks, I will look into it shortly, likely someone posted an image again that is dimensionally crazy large.
gnif, a page that just won't load or any of the posts in it. 
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/siglent-technical-support-join-in-eevblog/msg1663322/#new
That's page 43. The first page in the thread and others load just fine. I can see who's posted in the Test Equipment board and then check their posts to view it and then Reply from within that member posts page.
Seen this problem for a couple of hours at least now so ~midday Sydney time onwards.
TIA
This has been fixed (image removed), a Microsoft Bitmap was uploaded to the forum with a .png extension. SMF yet again crashed out due to it's inability to check mime types...
Hi gnif
Dunno if you can see it but the forum and EEVblog main page have been painfully slow to load and work with for the last few hours......like
All the other sites I'm using, no problem, quick as a flash !
It is loading fine for me at the moment (7:55 BST)
Logs over the last week show now issues with the hosting or slow load times, and my manual spot checks have not turned up any problems.
I find it amusing though, people now really notice if it's slow... when I started helping dave out, it was normal to be slow, and people only complained if it was down.
The short outage that just occurred was due to a connectivity failure at the data center. EEVBlog and several other clients that host at the same data center were offline for this period. Nothing to be concerned about

Not much I can do if you don't report what the error message is.
Hi gnif,
When using Tapatalk, for the last few weeks links to photos hosted on the form are appearing as broken links.
It appears to correspond to this Tapatalk issue:
https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/tapatalksupport/photos-problem-t40891.htmlWhich they eventually think is caused by "We find the domain of your forum registered in Tapatalk is HTTP protocol. But the attachments were uploaded to the HTTPS domain."
We have been https for some time now, so this may be a red herring or has the hosting of attached files been recently changed on the server?
Thanks,
Towger.
500 Internal Server Error on Youtube videos.
Seems something has gone wrong around the SMF Youtube processor. All Youtube videos I've checked (new and old) no longer work, despite the code being correct.

Just checked the short Drone one I posted in the TEA thread earlier and it is fine. So

Now they are fine but YT links were down when Brumby posted.
Yes, confirming all OK now.
Bug report: login never works in the mobile site.
Symptom: when trying to log in in the mobile site, it always fails if the login period is set to forever.
Expected behavior: after putting in the correct login credentials, selecting “keep logged in” on the mobile login page and hitting the login button, the user should be logged in.
Observed behavior: Instead of logging the user in, the error message “The login session has timed out” appears and the user is not logged in.
Platform: iOS 12, iPhone 7 and iPad mini 5th generation.
Note: logging on the desktop site, then switch to the mobile site is a viable workaround, but it doesn’t work very well on small-screen devices like iPhone due to the font size.
Servers were just upgraded to PHP 7.2, please excuse the short outage that occurred during this.
It did also reset the "Show unread posts since last visit" pointer.
Yup, sorry about that, the session information was lost during the upgrade, which was unavoidable.
Sorry for the outage people, Dave installed a mod that broke things. Up and running again

Bloody Murphy Dave ;-)
I'll cop it!
Never had a mod take down the forum before, SMF has always played nice in that regard.

Generally not an issue but I was maintaining a hidden dummy forum to try mods and play with layouts before unleashing them on public forums. Might be worth it especially when SMF 2.1 'finally' gets released to try out any current mods and tweaks you have installed prior to upgrading the Forum proper.
Running 'testing' forum of this size and complex configuration is a feat in itself. To accurately test how things will behave the configuration has to be near-identical, cluster configuration and all. That said when the next version is out of RC I plan to perform an install and test how the migration to it goes, I am dreading it however as I know that most (all?) mods/plugins will break.

I am not right up to speed on where 2.1 is heading but the early on MODS not working from 2.0 to 2.1 is still the same by the sounds of it then. I do know a few of the mod devs had already made versions that were running on the Beta but still suspect. Even when it comes out might be worth hanging back to see if there is carnage on other forums first. Testing forum will never be perfect but it did save me when MOD's conflicted occasionally.
