Server Upgrade

[dannyboy]

If I click on 'Profile', I get my profile but no 'Mentions' at the bottom. If I hover over 'Profile', I get a drop down menu which gives me, in order, 'Mentions', 'Summary', 'Account Settings' and 'My Bookmarks'. If I click on 'Mentions', I get the profile of Tank!  @PaulCheffus  @Tank. Am I misunderstanding your instructions Paul? Have you tried following Pauls instructions yet Mick? @Newportnobby

Forget the above! I have found it, but a bit different to how Paul suggested. However, the bit about getting the profile of @Tank is still happening, except it is the profile of @Only Me  I am getting, not Tank - sorry! (I am going to bed now - had enough  ).

Your latest post just beat me Paul.

Hi

The account I see is my own.

Cheers

Thanks, Paul. Got it sorted now. Who the heck turned that damned thing on? @Tank
You'll be getting a visit from the Leyland Massive if you're not careful

[Tank]

Bring it on!

Forum timed out twice when I tried to log on at 20.57 tonight.
Only been on for ½ an hour and it's timed out another 2 times.
I'm offski.

[Tank]

Been 100% for me.

[Bealman]

Yep, chugging along ok here.

Vary variable response for me unfortunately.  timed out a couple of times, and slow to load pages from time to time, but ok on other occasions.  Have to say  generally it seems to be a bit worse than it used to be before the server updates etc.

Variable response here also but our BB is not good. Still on slow copper despite just 2 miles from the nearest fibre box!

Glad to see Notifications back.

Not tried using the Gallery since the upgrade but some folk seem to be doing OK. Would seem like oversized pictures are the main cause for problems. Various methods of resizing already covered so won't repeat,

Is the server upgrade now complete ?

I am new to the site and been reading alot of topics some go back may years.

The main issue I have is that I keep getting the denied.png "sorry, you are not allowed to view this file. Make sure you are connected to the server"

for example

Is there an issue or just me ?

Welcome to the forum Colin. Not sure why you can not view the post, one of the 'powers that be' will probably be able to let you know what is happening.

Welcome aboard Colin.
I think the message you are getting relates to the fact that some 12 months ago (or thereabouts) Photobucket started to charge users for having an account with them.
Several of us on here used Photobucket (a photo hosting site) to add photos to their threads. Some of us (me included) didn't want to pat for our Photobucket accounts so the links to our photos were severred.
So it's nothing that you've done wrong it's just an unfortunate event from a while back.
Any photos added in the last 15 months aho (by other methods or using different hosting sites) should be fine.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the quick replies.

I am sure that there are a range of ways people include photos and video's, and some issues must be expected.
