WITHIN THE HOUR, I am going to take down this forum and upgrade as indicated before. We've been hit harder than ever since late yesterday afternoon, and the hosting folks can't figure it out. Hopefully the new iteration will help. I will do my best to keep you informed, but in the meantime, use my email address of sunrayniner -at- sympatico.ca for info. One way or another we'll get through this.

Wish me luck. This has been a bad one.

Default Well Done - Thanks for all the effort

Hi Geoff

I've been going through with-drawl from not having my daily fix of CMP talk.

Thank you again for all the effort into trying to fix the problem. We all hope that this will take care of this type of a problem for the next few years.

Cheers Phil

Yes Geoff, thanks for keeping the site going. To bad that you couldn't send this plague back to the one that infected us!

Default Is any body having problems with thumb pictures

Hi All

Is any body having trouble with the thumbnail pictures incorporated in posting not the links but actually seeing the small pictures at the bottom of messages. I am not on all messages is this happening and it seems to be a mix of older messages and new.

Cheers Phil

Default Yes Phil

It seems to be most of the older thumbnails.... it may just be pixilation of those, but I'll have to take down the forum to test this. At least the links work. Methinks I'll work on this come Saturday morning unless something else crashes. There's also a new iteration of the forum I may upload at the same time.

In the interim, I HAVE run a program to identify the "corrupted" photos, most of which go back years; methinks I'll delete them at the same time and see if that helps. There aren't that many considering we have over 20,000 images online...

Thanks for bringing this up.

G.

Thanks for all the hard work you have done Geoff and anyone else working behind the scenes to get MLU back up and running.

Would it help with the photos if we started having them hosted off site on photobucket or something similar?
