Post by: coolford on June 01, 2021, 02:38:27 PM

For some reason I cannot post pictures anymore on this site.  No problem with any other site. :angry:

Have not been able to post pics for days.  Get a message about download not writable.

Are you using an image host or adding your photos as attachments?

As stated above I am using postimages.org.  Also I have never been able to use the "Attachments and other options" button.

I haven't been able to upload a pic for a couple of weeks. I haven't tried linking a pic. photobucket is trash, will never do that again. Will links to facebook work? with out linking you to all 5k pics?

For years have only loaded from attachments from my desktop or tablet, never had this before 2 weeks back,  no trouble on other sites.

Hello, John. I have always done the same as you, attachments from desktop. The problem started for me a couple weeks back, too.

Hello all!

I am going to try to track down the issue sometime this afternoon. Hopefully it can be resolved and we can all begin to attach and view pictures again.

Cheers,
Patrick

I wasn't able to look into the problem last night due to  a very busy family, so I will try again tonight.

I know something on the server was updated a few weeks ago, and I think it might have borked the forum directories a little. I can't get into the file manager side of the website right now because it's blocked on my work network. Hopefully it's a simple find and a simple fix.

I did a bit of reading on the Simple Machines forum about this issue and another I spotted on the admin side of things regarding the forum's theme. I remember that my web host moved the Papaws Wrench website to another server (computer) and this seems to have messed with the file paths. This will be a simple fix as soon as I'm able to get on a computer that will let me log into the control panel.

Testing attachments. Please enjoy this photo I took of a baby alligator.

It looks like I was successful in updating the attachment and pictures directories! Hopefully everyone should be able to attach pictures again, and your old attachments should show up again, too. If there are any other issues or concerns, please let me know!

What is wrong with that one, or the rest of them?

I like the logo.

The logo looks very much like the logo for Arm and Hammer baking soda.
