SwampD Posted November 10, 2010 Report Posted November 10, 2010 You and I each have over 4K, and I can see neither of our avatars on my mac at home. Hey! I'm over 4000! Who knew? :beer:
SDS Posted November 10, 2010 Author Report Posted November 10, 2010 Those images are just cached locally on your systems. Trust me. The disk is hosed and taken out of the system. The good news is that I just ordered a kick-ass new server that will crush this one... 3x the RAM, 4x the number of cores, faster, more reliable disks in a RAID 1 to improve reliability and further increase performance. This new rig will rock.
Sterling Archer Posted November 10, 2010 Report Posted November 10, 2010 Will this rig allow me to have a kick assyer new avatar?
Stoner Posted November 10, 2010 Report Posted November 10, 2010 When I try to upload an avatar, I get this message: "The upload failed - there was a problem moving the avatar to the uploads directory. Please verify permissions are set correctly on the uploads folder."
That Aud Smell Posted November 10, 2010 Report Posted November 10, 2010 Jesus Christ, people, haven't we put this issue to bed? It's not about how cool your avatars are, it's about the quality of the content that you post here.

nobody Posted November 11, 2010 Report Posted November 11, 2010 It's going to take me ages to recreate my avatar. :)
R_Dudley Posted November 11, 2010 Report Posted November 11, 2010 What are we to make of the fact that certain avatars survived the great purge of ought-ten? Does this say something about the validity or other inherent goodness of the related posters? This or wishfult thinking It's going to take me ages to recreate my avatar. :) Nobody cares.

Eleven Posted November 11, 2010 Report Posted November 11, 2010 Can we get the team a similar server to increase performance? The team is doing well with its new ETHRON 4000 server.
Stoner Posted November 11, 2010 Report Posted November 11, 2010 The team is doing well with its new ETHRON 4000 server. Rick's going to say it one of these nights. I can feel it.
korab rules Posted November 12, 2010 Report Posted November 12, 2010 My avatar won't upload - says my file is too large - says 20 KB max for photos. My pic is 14.4 MB. Can't remember which one is larger! Also says it will automatically reduce the size of files that are too large. Apparently that is not happening!!!
UncleWally Posted November 12, 2010 Report Posted November 12, 2010 Sorry for dropping the ball on this. We had a disk crash and the only thing on that disk of importance were avatars, photos, and photo uploads. We can't get the drive to spin up anymore. The backup I have does nightly backups of the database and the web files, but I never added that directory on the other disk. :censored: So, once I get the new drive setup - you can reload your avatars if you have them. Sorry folks! Should I bring all of my glasses too??

Is it just me or is everyone still having this problem? I thought it was supposed to work now???
nfreeman Posted November 12, 2010 Report Posted November 12, 2010 Is it just me or is everyone still having this problem? I thought it was supposed to work now??? I'm having the same problem. BTW, 1 MB (ie "1 million bytes") = 1000 KB (ie "1 thousand bytes), ya hoser. Word.
shrader Posted November 12, 2010 Report Posted November 12, 2010 I'm having the same problem. BTW, 1 MB (ie "1 million bytes") = 1000 KB (ie "1 thousand bytes), ya hoser. Word. Isn't it actually some strange number close to 1000 and not the actual metric conversion?

I recovered mine from TSW. It appears to be working fine. Sheesh. Am I the only one who knows how to work these new electronical com-pu-tater machines?

That's what I thought, but it didn't seem possible that we could have an avatar size limit 1/1000 the size of my picture. ######! I thought we had some hot shot new server? Word to your mother, ######. Edit: What??? I'm still confused. Friday night drinks started early. Screw it, I'll try it again Monday. Have a nifty new avatar to upload, too.
JujuFish Posted November 13, 2010 Report Posted November 13, 2010 Isn't it actually some strange number close to 1000 and not the actual metric conversion? A megabyte has long stood for 1,048,576 bytes (2^20) and a kilobyte for 1,024 (2^10) bytes. Many places now use the terms mebibyte and kibibyte for these quantities thanks to the IEC, while using the original terms for 1,000,000 bytes and 1,000 bytes. I can't stand using 'mebibyte' and 'kibibyte' but I can see why they wanted to keep the 'mega-' and 'kilo-' prefixes consistent with other terms of measurement.

This is very interesting, even if it ismore information than I ever needed. The question is, though, why can't I upload my snazzy new friggin avatar!?!
SDS Posted November 13, 2010 Author Report Posted November 13, 2010 Is it just me or is everyone still having this problem? I thought it was supposed to work now??? dude, your photo is 1000x larger than it is supposed to be. The board will re-dimension it if it is under the right file size.
korab rules Posted November 13, 2010 Report Posted November 13, 2010 All pics these days are mb size. How do I shrink it?

Just weird that system reduced the size of the exact same picture before, but now says it's too large. Maybe korab needs to go on a diet.
