Forum Technical Issue- Attachments

As discovered in this thread, attachments can no longer be downloaded.

 

Tries to attach attachment to this post to see what happens

 

EDIT: Interesting, this one can be downloaded (by me at least), can someone else try this attachment and the ones in the thread I linked to any thread except the one I linked to as they have been re-uploaded to check?

I can view your lightsaber man .jpg attachment, and download it to my desktop.

I'm on an iPad and can see your attachment too. 

Good, can you see the others in the thread I linked to?

 

EDIT: And it’s a glowing baseball bat, can’t you tell the difference!  :stuck_out_tongue:

I'm getting "page not found" on the PDFs in the other thread. 

Awesome, so there is a problem with attachments.

Mods! Light up the CajunJoel signal

 

What problem? I went to the Deck Analysis Project thread and was able to download the various PDFs

I don't know if this is related but I've just been on the International Shipping thread and tried to look at the last two pictures posted there and it came up with a file 404 message. (They were two .jpg photos and I'm using safari on iPad iOS)

 

EDIT: I am able to see Glowing bat picture though.

 

EDIT 2: I just checked the sentinels fan art thread (in sentinels comics section) and the .jpg files there are coming up with the same message, ( Not Found The requested URL "/sites/default/files/forum/attachments/Sentinels%20Icon%20Perler.jpg" was not found on this server.) even ones I have been able to look at previously on this ipad.

On the Deck Analysis Project thread specifically, the files were re-uploaded, causing the problem to go away.

I had issues with uploading a picture attatchment on Friday. I uploaded it once, and it came out the wrong way round. I messed around with the picture,  finally getting it to be displayed the right side up, but I couldn't remove the attatchment that was the wrong way round, so I was stuck with posting both (while constantly being asked to prove I was not a robot- that is not good for my self-esteem, you know!) Then yesterday, when the attatchment troubles were brought to my attention, I checked on the post again and would you believe it: The correct picture was 'not found' while the junk picture was still there just fine. So I went there just now and deleted both attatchments and reuploaded the correct one, and that fixed the issue. I just hope we won't have to do that for the entire forum.

On a related note, is anybody apart from me not getting playtester badges displayed?

Yeah, the PDFs in the thread I linked to were re-uploaded after it was pointed out they could not be downloaded. Every other 'old' attachment is undownloadable now, go try and download any other attachment- the fan art thread with the Perler attachments are a good one to look at. Or try the ones in the Sentinels International Shipping Thread, jagarciao's from as little ago as the 8th is no longer available.

 

And it's not just playtester badges, ALL badges are not being displayed, mod, admin, playtester, all gone. This place is falling apart without Paul and Christopher here, come back before we lose it all!

Oh, that's funny, I can still see the mod and admin ones, for me only the playtester badges have disappeared.

But yeah, this is all just because someone said he didn't believe in Admins and the rest of us didn't clap hard enough…

 

But I DO believe in Admins! 

I was about to say that it's all working for me, but some of it isn't.

 

I can see the playtester and moderator badges and have been able to download everything, but I can't see the inline pics in the international shipping thread (though I can see them in the fan art thread). I'll ping Joel again.

I pretty sure he already corrected the problem I was mentioning upthread, as I can download stuff I couldn't before, but it does look like he broke something else at the same time!

Issue seems to be recurring.  In the thread "Deck Analysis Project - Updated Thread" I was able to open the PDFs earlier today but it is failing now with the 404 error. 

Hi all,

It looks like some files got misplaced over the weekend when we made some configuration changes to the site. I checked the "SotM Card Guide" files and they are all working again. I think this was the majority of the issues. there were two other random attachments that are now accounted for, as well.

Badges should be back to normal, too. In fact, everything had better be back to normal, or I'm going to have to pour me another whisky!

Thanks, Joel!
