  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

How do I place my media pictures in a thread?

Before the change to the current server, the media used to provide a URL to copy to the thread. I can't find that URL now.

The threads now provide a way to add a picture directly from my computer. It shows up as a full image followed by a smaller version below the large image.
Do those images remain with the thread for the life of the thread or do they disappear when I logoff or exit SOH?

It's in the same place as the option to upload from your own computer. Select the 'Insert image' icon (the single image icon) or press (CTRL+P) and you will see a small window with two tabs. The left-hand tab is the default option to upload a file from your computer, either drop the image onto the box or click in the box once to navigate to the file you want to upload. Selecting the right-hand tab (hovering over the chain link icon will show the label 'By URL') will allow you to paste the URL for the image you want to upload.

Any image(s) that you uploaded from you own computer stay with the post on our forum server and will remain there unless you physically edit your post and delete the image(s) or until a Staff Member removes them if required. If the image is linked from an online URL it will stay with the forum post unless the host site no longer has the file or goes offline (as was the case with lots of images hosted by 'Photo Bucket' years ago).

Hope that helps.
