What's the image URL for the one that didn't work?

http://websitename.net/baby%20icon.png

Is it not allowing it because it's not https? (I don't have an SSL on my personal domain)

That URL doesn't even work for me.

I was able to save this one with no problem:

https://hot.miqrogroove.com/avs/oh%20yes.png

This works too:

You will have to help me replicate the problem you're seeing. All I can see on my end is a broken link.

general member reply test. works.

That isn't actually my URL I'll PM you the actual link

Also, around 9:30 PST the entire website slowed down significantly. I don't know if this is due to backups, the new version or what. But I wanted to make note of it

The host may be having some DNS issues tonight. I'll let you know if I hear anything. (Fortunately we do not use the host's DNS, but it could be causing issues inside their network.)

Here it is. The host reports all services are degraded at this time.

September 19, 2020 8:31PM PDT[Investigating] Our Operations teams are currently investigating connectivity issues which indicate an issue related to our name servers. This is impacting hosted sites, our web panel as well as some internal services. We will provide updated information as it becomes available.

September 19, 2020 9:32PM PDT[Identified] Our engineers have identified the cause of the DNS degradation and are working on a resolution. We’ll update this post as new information becomes available.

I guess this explains the slow responses I was experiencing too.

Had a DB connection message on both alpha and the live forums earlier today.

Seems to be a castrated 🐑 on line 100 in config.php [unrelated to the DB connection issue mentioned in the previous post and is a trivial thing]

XMB does allow non-https avatars, and I just noticed it causes some problems. Added that here:

https://bugs.xmbforum2.com/view.php?id=610

I think it needs either non-https avatar blocking, or maybe better would be to allow avatar uploads. I think we had a mod for avatar uploads before but it wasn't very nice. Let's get that sorted out before Beta 2.

Edit: The larger issue is that we allow non-https images to appear in many places where bbcode is allowed. So this points to blocking as part of the solution, in signatures for example.

I have no idea what this means.

A 'wether' is a castrated ram/sheep. It's a typo and should be 'whether'

Fair enough. Here you go https://bugs.xmbforum2.com/view.php?id=612

got another db connection error just now

If it makes you feel better, I could add a 500 or 503 header to that error message.

Just pointing out that I was seeing DB connection errors - either host is having issues, you were doing some project work, or whatever causes the error. Ie - letting you know in case you weren't aware of the brief outage.

When quoting a post with a thumbnail, should the quoted post show the thumbnail? See https://forums.xmbforum2.com/viewthread.php?tid=777078&g...

No. Thumbnails are related directly to the post to which they are attached per 1.9.11 design. You would have to either copy & upload the attachment to your post or re-design the system to accept arbitrary attachment references inside every post.
