Title: Images issue with OOF tonight?
Post by: Lazydocker on 11 January 2011, 20:58:06
No smilies, just text as to what they were meant to be to start with and now no forum images at all apart from the text... Just my end or everyone? Does TB need to give the images server a kick again?

Got the same on both Laptop and iPhone (both over wifi) so perhaps it's my end.

I'll worry about it tomorrow if still the same!

Still doing it but only on OOF, nothing else. All other forums/sites are OK.

How strange.

Any hints/tips to try tomorrow?

2 different devices ;)

A router reboot *may* help, but if its a resolution issue, that could be crappy ISP DNS servers (some ISPs aren't protecting against DNS poisoning).

I would suggest using opendns, gets away from the issue of lousy ISP dns

NOT FINE!! could not get on yesterday evening at all,
timed it once it took eleven minutes to load the page,
the dreaded white format was there but much worse than usual, if i tried to open a subject it wouldnt!!1
tried constantly from 6pm till 11pm when i gave up, tried different ways such as google search, and direct but all were the same, it wouldn not load, on the bright side it gave me plenty to read this morning when the dogs got me up at 6am!!

obviuosly it is fine this morning!! will add havent had this problem for ages then just lately it started again, but yesterday was the worst one, had a slight case of it the otherday but refreshing the page allowed it to function properly??

Not sure if the laptop will be fixed or not but managed to "fix" iPhone last night at about 01:00 when I still couldn't sleep. Just switched from WiFi to 3G for connection for one page load :-/ ::)

How strange!

Not sure I'd recommend their services, esp the free service they offer. Its not great  :-X

They will never admit it, but all mobile companies use proxies. This can lead to all sorts of diagnostic issues. Hence mobile use tends to hit this issue more.

The images server isn't the greatest, given a choice, wouldn't exist, but its a necessary evil given our setup, and our priority of keeping the main part of OOF - the parts that do the processing/storing/results - as stable as we possibly can. And doing so on budget*.

* Don't ask  :-X

Presumed it would come down to cash / another server at the end of the day.

....if I win the lottery  ;). (got a buy a ticket first  :( )
