Andy Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Daz experienced a load of glitches on US-TV around the same time you signed up too. Are you some kind of hacker cracker in disguise? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
indi Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I have never hacked any cracks, although I'm quite fond of the odd disguise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 For some reason, my, and a lot of others' avatars are not being displayed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I can't see any avatars and yes they are turned on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I'm fiddling with the avatars as they've been pinpointed as a reason why we may still be experiencing dodgy performance, you'll have to bear with me a bit. Apparently the problems we're having a more to do with the forum software being poorly configured than the new server (this is according to the SMF tech support guys.)

Nobody Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Get my Christmas avatar back. Now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Aye, we might have to go back to pre-Xmas avatars to get this working unfortunately! I'll explain the gist of what the problem was: as was currently set-up, avatars were being stored as an extension of www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php which means that every time an avatar loads on a page (each single avatar per post) we were basically loading an entire "page" rather than the single "image", which is obviously putting unnecessary load on the server. In order to remedy this problem you need to move all avatars from their current location to a brand new directory within the server FTP, plus change multiple settings along with it. Unfortunately the need is such that we probably have to go back to the last stored set of avatars, which was done before all the Xmas stuff got uploaded. Once we get the process done, though, people will simply be able to re-upload their Xmas/new avatar again and they'll be stored in the new directory and we won't have to fiddle with them ever again. I know it's frustrating, but basically we're starting to do things "right" as far as the forum goes so that we can get the very best performance out of it. As it stands there's an awful lot that simply hasn't been configured correctly and doesn't run properly which leads to crashes and errors and slowness. We've got a checklist to work through now, basically, but the avatars should be the only things that affect you guys too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Sorry. It's fucking tedious, I know. The reasons for doing it are worthwhile basically, even though it's a bit of pain in the arse for all those who've changed their avatar since near December. Won't happen again!

It only doesn't work where the uploader has designated embedding is not allowed. This happens often on YouTube because they want you to visit their channel instead.
