US Image server down. (Page 1/2)
Cliff Pennock NOV 08, 04:43 PM
The US image server is down and it can take up to a month before it will be back up again. If you use an image in your signature and it doesn't show up, that's because it probably resides on the US server. To solve this problem, just repost it again using PIP and change the URL in your signature.

I will try to move all images off the US server to the Dutch server in the coming week.

Thanks for all the good work Cliff. The hosting of images is one of the best features of PFF and they are already missed.

One little request, can you think about boosting the PIP width limit to 640 pixels instead of 600?

It's your bandwidth and harrdrive space, but please consider allowing us to post standard 640 x 480 images because resizing to a standard size would be a whole lot easier. Thanks.

It isn't a bandwidth or storage space concern that the width is limited to 600 pixels. The problem is that anything wider than 600 pixels causes people running on a 800x600 rsolution having to scroll. But with a width of 640 pixels, I guess people don't have to scroll all that much, so I have set the max width to 640 now.

Those of us with our own webspace that allows remote linking (usually not free) could help out by posting pics on our own space. The upside would be saving Cliff space, but the only downside is if we ever delte the files, it would make our post useless (like if someone was searching the archives for info...). Thanks Cliff for all the work and $$ you put into this board!
BTW - My wife was thinking that if you used phpBB you might save a few $ a year in licensing fee's.

Ha. Well I am glad you already know. I was about ready to send a PM or something, guess I don't need to. I was originally thinking it was a local cache issue that I messed up somehow. Proxy cache clear, Netscape cache clear. Still nothing. DUH! Check announcements.

Hey look, my sig works now.

Hey Cliff, I made my sig and deleted the files I used so I will have to wait a month for my sig to show up again after you switch all the files over? Let me know. Thanks.
