Posting problems

can seem to attach images today, never had any issue at all in the past. checked size and file type, both are good. just adds them to the list and shows them with greyed out generic icon and with a strike-thru the file name. (I would include a screenshot of the error, but....🤪)
 
To tell you would cause more problem than its worth, and if asked, they will never admit it.

This is so true. Having worked in online gaming in the past, where the game servers are more or less under constant attack, and the host is reconfiguring servers and network configurations pretty much non-stop to stay one step ahead of the riff-raff, it causes all kinds of issues with users. Of course, even though what they are doing is well known within the organization, to admit it to external parties is to more or less reveal their defensive strategies... and potentially open them up to the anger of annoyed customers. So silence is usually the policy.
 
Thanks for feedback! I always want to hear about issues... even if I don't know the cause.

In this case, I haven't had any problems with the site, personally, nor have I received any server errors or hosting warnings. The site software is updated to the current version.

It seems strange that the problem is resolved when you clear your browser history and reboot your computer. Typically those kinds of glitches would indicate that I am changing the site software and your browser cache is inconsistent with the new site software. Except I haven't done anything to the site in at least 30 days.

Let me know if you continue to have problems!
Just a thought but do you have automatic updates? Maybe something auto updates weekly and that is throwing it? I haven’t followed the error threads enough. I too haven’t had any errors and I spend a looooot of time on your page lol. I’m also on mobile almost always so there is that. Error logs compared to reports from users might help narrow it down for these weird intermittent bugs. Is there a site down thread where people get post downtimes for you? I haven’t done website development or design since HTML 4, back when tables were still a thing so take my ideas with a grain of salt! Lmao Regardless I think you’re doing a great job because if you are getting only occasional errors with as many active users as this site has Then you’re doing something right!
 
Just a thought but do you have automatic updates?

No. I update manually and batch process everything so I kill numerous birds with one stone. I prefer to be able to evaluate updates before I implement them. In some cases they are low priority, and in other cases they sound a little questionable, so I wait to hear if anyone is having problems with the new code or configuration before I implement it. Additionally, because I try to limit the rounds of updates, I can usually know when I break something.

Of course, I am only the last link in the chain. All kinds of things can (and usually are) going on further up the pipe. But that is strictly out of my control, and usually if something breaks at that level there are numbers of clients impacted and people start complaining instantly. We have actually managed to dodge quite a few big network outages recently - there were some pretty big regional screw-ups in the last couple of months.

Coool! Half-life and world of warcraft era?.... or Call of duty era? 🤣

Also.. does anyone remember (without google inquiry) the name of the half-life “engine”..they ended up using it for a loooong time.

Unreal. It’s still around. I think Unreal 6 now. I used to run a Jedi knight game server back in the 90’s lol. Purely amateur level compared to these guys. I’m finally learning some CSS and how to use word press since over 50% of the web is Wordpress now supposedly.

edit: wait that was on Quake I think. That one wasn't quite as long lived as Unreal I don’t think. Maybe it is.

Yep! I loved those games mechanics! The Jedi knight multiplayer is still some of the best I’ve ever played. Especially on modded servers where you could use the dimorphic twins characters and sabers. I used the giants saber with the midgets body and it was hysterical! No one could hit me because every block was perfect because the saber was 5 times my size. I also liked that you could use Almost any force power you wanted and still stay light if you did things right.

Oddly enough, I STILL think about that game.. quite often.

Yep! I play to win! If I was in D and D I’d probably be at least part munchkin! I like to min/max a character and always try for stealth!

Same that series was one of the best FP “shooters” of all time. They did another one like it a few years back. I played it but it wasn’t the same. Game mechanics sucked. There was like three attacks and defends so even combos and blends of attacks left the game feeling stale and the leveling progression sucked! Anyways I keep hoping someone will pick it up and redo it hopefully better than they did Goldeneye. Goldeneye’s reboot was pretty terrible! Perfect Dark was a better remake!

It’s also hard for ME.. because I miss “keyboard”.. as my main controller...

Nobody i talk to remembers “Blood” “Shadow Warrior” or “Postal” from that time period.

Blood and shadow warrior! How about vampire the masquerade? Recently found it again and got it working! Thinking of playing a couple games.

It does make me feel old.. but only when i actually realize HOW MANY years ago that was... even though it doesn’t feel it.
