Anyone else having problems with picture attachments?

For the last couple of days I've gotten the 502 Bad Gateway error here and there but for one thread in particular, I get it every damn time!

(Baba's my neighbor upstairs thread in GC.)

I can't imagine why this one thread is not working for me as I see it's getting replies...

This still didn't fix the problem. I am using Firefox. Does that make a difference?

No, not for the picture attachment problem, I was just recently having trouble accessing certain threads here. Sorry for the confusion.

I'd like simply modify my profile and add an avatar but it is impossible.. I think that for photos and other thinks there are no problems becouse we can use other web site, forum and make a link...
Thank you for everythings

It's possible (tested it), but you should follow the rules for avatars:

(b:4) Very small uploaded files and excessively large images posted on the site can be very annoying to other members. Try to keep uploaded files posted here to at least 10mgbs for video files and at least 25 images in picture files. Similarly very large images posted on the site can be irritating to other members. They can take a long time to load when viewing a thread and are often difficult to see if they are too large to be contained on a monitor screen. Try to keep the images you post at the site to no more than 650 pixels wide and 1300 pixels high. Better still post thumbnails. Images in signatures should be no more than 650 pixels wide by 170 pixels high. Avatars must not exceed 100 pixels wide by 100 pixels high.

That was my test pic (see attachment).

What, attachment works?!? Yes, for really small pics (example 98 x 110 px size, weight less than 5 KB).

When?!? Heaven knows.

The (solely) responsible person for maintenance of the board and therefore for fixing this problem is GS.
He's the only one with access to the server and svinto told him about this problem.

I'll let you know, as soon as I'm in on it.

Thanks again Monkey D. Ruffy for your support.

Everybody should be able to understand the current situation.
I was obsessed first time, too.

So all you great posters should just be patient, one week, one month, ...
... or just create your own board

This is getting worse. When I click on an attachment, the picture will show the top part, then the download hangs. When it hangs long enough, a gateway time out error will show up. I just hope the server and the hard drive do not crash before somebody can attend and fix the problem

I noticed that too, but it just may be something we have to live with. Even if we have to go to all our attachments on outside picture hosts this is still the best board going and I'm just happy we have it. I'm more than willing to put up with a few small inconveniences in order to keep it.

Question about Rapdshare speed

I looked for a thread about this but I did not find one so maybe someone here can help or understand this dilemna

I asked my ISP to "give me more speed" which I got but my upload is still slow. speedtest.net showed my upload is 0.8MB/sec and download speed is almost 12MB/sec. Rapidshare manager shows I'm only uploading at 35 to 50 KB/sec, Could it be that Rapidshare has a speed limit for uploads? Please reply and maybe you can tell me how fast you can upload.

Thanks in Advance
