+BudMan MVC Posted September 24, 2014 MVC Share Posted September 24, 2014 Anyone else having issues attaching/viewing images? So I had posted an image in the thread about vmware shares not working. Can did up the link if wanted. So first image worked fine (showing that worked on win8), but had to use the basic uploader. Then went back to edit post, add the fix info and show that it was again working. The upload went fine using the basic uploader - saw the thumbnail of the image. But when actually posted, just seeing link to image - doesn't load it, etc. edit: Nevermind - its working now.. And the advanced uploader is working now. I went into the post and resent the images, and deleted the old ones and that seems to have worked fine. Hmmm wonder if on my end? But tried it from 2 different connections, 2 different machines - hmmm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted September 24, 2014 Veteran Share Posted September 24, 2014 I have not been able to upload images for a few weeks now usually i either host them myself or post them on imgur first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BudMan MVC Posted September 24, 2014 Author MVC Share Posted September 24, 2014 So there is something odd with the images - not just me ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+BudMan MVC Posted September 28, 2014 Author MVC Share Posted September 28, 2014 So again having issues with uploading images - even using basic this time.. Looks like the images load, but they don't show up in the post.. Just get a link to the image.png, etc.. And no thumbdrive using both advanced and basic. Something is clearly wrong with the image attachment system.. I use attachment of images a lot since pictures are 1000 times more useful than words to get something across. Am I only one having this issue? I have tried multiple browsers, its not on my end that I can see. So went back to thread - and now 1 of the images is there But other image shows a 404 SYSTEM_WGETRC = c:/progra~1/wget/etc/wgetrc syswgetrc = c:/progra~1/wget/etc/wgetrc --2014-09-28 09:47:41-- https://www.neowin.net/forum/uploads/monthly_09_2014/post-14624-0-59968800-1411915299.png Resolving www.neowin.net... 74.204.71.245, 74.204.71.246, 74.204.71.247 Connecting to www.neowin.net|74.204.71.245|:80... connected.

Its like there is a delay from the time you upload until its available.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveLegg Developer Posted September 28, 2014 Developer Share Posted September 28, 2014 Looks like an issue syncing the files between the three front end servers - that would be why the image shows sometimes, and not others, it just depends which one your browser tries to load the file from. Am looking into it and resyncing files now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc302 Veteran Posted September 29, 2014 Veteran Share Posted September 29, 2014 I can't see images when users post. Here is an example.

Draconian Guppy Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Happens to me as well, like dave points out, some load, some don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimeMaster Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Never knew people actually used the attachment system on Neowin. I always thought everyone used image hosting sites like Imgur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BudMan MVC Posted September 29, 2014 Author MVC Share Posted September 29, 2014 While those sites are great for sites that don't host their own attachments. They have their own issues.. I would much rather house my attachments with the site its posted on. If no traffic to images hosted on 3rd party - lots of sites remove the access after x number of days. If too much access also can pull access. So you have some history post that can become useless now because the images are gone. Or useless because its popular, etc. Also can make the site look slower having to pull images from 3rd party server, etc. etc. I use neowin's attachments multiple times a day most of the time. It is becoming problematic as of late though - sure hope they get is worked out soon. DConnell 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted October 2, 2014 Administrators Share Posted October 2, 2014 This should be fixed, was a sync issue with one of our front end servers that was sorted yesterday PM. I've marked Daves post as solved. If images again fail to load through our own uploader please report it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon H Supervisor Posted October 2, 2014 Supervisor Share Posted October 2, 2014 still can't see a lot of attached images (aka neowin uploader images). a lot of them are coming up 404 LimeMaster 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimeMaster Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Same here, the issue doesn't seem to be fixed yet! Sort-of why I suggested third party image hosting sites. Although, thanks to BudMan I understand why some may prefer using the attachment system instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+BudMan MVC Posted October 4, 2014 Author MVC Share Posted October 4, 2014 Lets do test here This prob not going to work I see this vs a thumbnail of the image. Lets preview this -- yeah still a problem This is what the post looks like in preview edit: This was with a cleared cache on my browser, browser just restarted using the advanced uploader. While I agree that might be the root of the problem with images not working - I wouldn't mark that is the solution as of yet ;) Since it clearly is still happening.

DaveLegg Developer Posted October 4, 2014 Developer Share Posted October 4, 2014 I've tracked down the cause to a security update that was done a couple of weeks ago. One of the files changed used to include the code that syncs files between our servers, but that modification was missed from the new version. I've added it back, and am in the process of re-syncing everything that's not correctly in sync. Should now be fixed :) +BudMan 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cork1958 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Never knew people actually used the attachment system on Neowin. I always thought everyone used image hosting sites like Imgur. I've ALWAYS used the attachment system on Neowin and have NEVER used an image hosting site as most of those are even worse yet, especially if you actually have to go to that site to view image. I had noticed the problem of broken images in quite a few topics though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BudMan MVC Posted October 4, 2014 Author MVC Share Posted October 4, 2014 Sweet my test in this thread is now showing the test image that was not working before - good sign.. Sounds like this might be the fix!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveLegg Developer Posted October 4, 2014 Developer Share Posted October 4, 2014 Sweet my test in this thread is now showing the test image that was not working before - good sign.. Sounds like this might be the fix!!! Well, that would happen just because I re-synced the images, doesn't prove that newly uploaded things get synced properly ;) But they should do, as the code is now back how it should be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had noticed the problem of broken images in quite a few topics though. I can understand that, although Imgur is actually quite a good image hosting site. It certainly sets the example of what all image hosting sites should be. Anyways, it seems like the attachment system is now fixed, so I guess it doesn't matter. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
