  • 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.

Screenshot Posting at SOH

I guess this is one for the moderators/adminstrators re posting images and screenshots.

I had use Photobucket but with the changes to their methods (yet another racket) I switched to adding images as attachments. This limits the size and for me results in two images, the image posted and a smaller attachment image, instead of a clean single image. The upload dialogue box allows for URLS but I cannot see how to upload other than the method I am using from my PC. Is there a better way or is the hyperlink to a hosting site the only way to get a clean single shot into the post?

I also noted when checking that I have used 64 mb of storage space at SOH doing this over time, this concerns me because of the strain it will place on SOH's site and resources over time as well. I make donations to help out but it may not be enough.

What are the thoughts oh wise ones?
 
If you upload your pics through the "Manage Attachments" button, you will only get one image. But generally people don't like this method, since the images will be gone when you clean out your attachments.

If you use the "Insert Image" option, and select "from URL" and leave the "Retrieve remote file and reference locally" checkbox checked, you will get two images. If you uncheck the box, you will get just one image.

If you use the "Insert Image" option, and select "from computer", the file becomes an attachment, but you also get two images. Ok, that one is odd. Still trying to figure that one out.

Best option is simply to find another image hosting site, lol.
