Technical Issues Thread

[Scott]

I'm sorry to learn about your issues with the forums Scott (and by the way, welcome!).

A couple of more questions if you don't mind:

1. What operating system are you running?

2. Are you using any plug-ins with Chrome?

Just as another data point, I haven't experienced any issues in that regard, but I'm running Vivaldi.

Thanks for the welcome, Vyn!

1. Windows 7
2. No.

It's actually been a lot smoother today, haven't had any such issues.

Mine has frozen up with Win7 and Chrome in the full post view. Quick reply works fine for me. Maybe there was a bug in Chrome that got fixed behind the scenes, who knows?

Also hello!

Well hopefully that was the problem...

I'm using Mozilla and occationally there are some slow moments but no total freezes...but I'm inclined to believe it's the mozilla that's acting out more than the forum...this latest Mozilla version is total crap.

I posted a picture here, using the picture button

but it doesn't show...

Hey Linda,

I looked at your post and modified it. The URL you used was the URL from the browser address bar, which took me to the page where the image is hosted. But it wouldn't show up as an image on this forum because it isn't actually the image's address.

That site puts images in a container of sorts. So, I right clicked on the image itself, chose "Copy image address", and pasted that into your post.

OK, call me stupid, but I'm having trouble posting YouTube videos. I right click on the video and "copy video URL". Back at the forum I hit "reply", click the YouTube play button and then "paste". Before I "post" I notice the YouTube link is the same friggin' cat video I posted a while back. When I post it says it's a bad URL. But if you click on it the cat video plays. What am I doin' wrong? Help me please.

[Vyn]

For YouTube videos I always just copy the address in the address bar.

[BOGBLAST]

Thanks Vyn that worked. But both the videos I posted say "invalid YouTube link" yet the video works. I don't know.

Try just deleting that part? The video worked fine, though.

As you might've seen i've added a new forum for everything related to stuff you've done yourself. I moved Axe's backingtracks there (thanx for posting, btw), and feel free to post your own music, videos, talk about the gear you've got or wish you had, and what Iommi, Blackmore, Satriani and Django Reinhardt is using. And so forth...

I've noticed that the URL in the address bar works just fine even without the YouTube BBCode tags. Yay that bit of cleverness.

Well done Zzzptm

If you receive a PM, does something pop up to tell you that you have 1?

[BOGBLAST]

Where are the best places to get photos to post here that are free, like album covers, beer, stupid shit?

[Charger]

There is no pop up report for private messages here. But you will see (1) next to your My messages bar.


Do you mean a place where you can upload your own pics? I use flickr...it's tricky as fuck and very annoying to use but there aren't too many free imagine hosting sites out there anymore that allow forum posting of images.
