[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

A small message this might be, but thank you for the rapidity of these updates and their employment, @Mahz.

[Mahz]

I tried uploading a 7mb image to stress test the Images tab, now it continuously sends me to the Application Error page without letting me take it out of my Images tab.

@NarayanK

@NarayanK Ohhh thanks. This helped me catch a big bug. I'll fix it in a bit.

[Mahz]

Will images be able to have a shortened URL of some kind, or even a displayed URL under the image, for ease of use in a roleplay/post?

@NuttsnBolts

Good idea, I will add the URL under the image at least.

I'd also like to think of a simple gallery UI you can access while writing a post and allow uploads while writing a post as well or something.

[Mahz]

Excuse any error pages, I have to fix a performance regression.

Update: Oh, I found a big issue. I may disable the image system entirely until I fix it which might not happen tonight since it's late. I need to rework how I'm serving the images.

[Mahz]

Okay, I refactored the image upload system. It's online again.

I had to delete the previous image system, but there were only a few images uploaded.

You can also now delete images.

[ClocktowerEchos]

@MahzJust something I thought up of, why not have a quick upload button or quick link button to the image page next to Subs and PMs and stuff? Just something for connivence. It'd also be a good way of notifying people about the new image system if they don't watch over this thread.

[Mahz]

@ClocktowerEchos Agreed. There definitely needs to be a convenient way to insert and retrieve from the image system while writing a post.

[ClocktowerEchos]

@MahzMaybe something under the reply box but above the formatting CS like "recent pictures" or something?

[Genkai]

@Mahz Probably something less important but...did co-GMs used to be able to edit GM posts? I could have sworn, this was possible in the past but maybe not...?

Or will they be given more tools in the future?

[Mahz]

@Genkai Not in the past. I could build that feature quickly until I can build a better system if yall think it'd be nice.

@Mahz
I believe it would be a useful feature, but for only GM posts tagged to be editable. It would be unfortunate to have a Co-GM go and edit everything a GM ever said out of spite.

@LegendBegins

If they did that, the gm just has to go to a moderator and say "my co-gm is trolling my RP". Besides if a GM thinks their co-GM is gonna cause issues, they can simply demote them.

@Mahz
I've been getting some Application errors. In the last five minutes or so, about two or three of them came up. I wasn't doing anything fancy; was just going from my subs to the main page.

[Mahz]

For some reason the guild's been almost completely down for the past few hours, though sometimes serving requests.

Weird performance issue I've never seen before. Rebooted it and it's back to normal, but I'm looking into it.

[Etcetera]

Every other time I load something on the Guild, I land on an error page.

[Bluetommy]

Getting a lot of errors, I can circumvent it by not opening the page via my favorites list, but sometimes that doesn't work.

[Blizz]

Mahz, I have found a few things that are prone to receiving error notices, they are as follows.

Logging into the guild.

Accessing subscribed forums.

Accessing the Home page.

Thanks from Blizz the Storyteller.

[kittyluna45]

Every other time I load something on the Guild, I land on an error page.

@Etcetera

Same. Especially when I try to check my PM's.

[Shienvien]

They seem to be a bit sporadic, the errors. Sometimes it's a while without any, sometimes it's reloading the same page (this one, most recently) a dozen times before it goes through.

[Kokushi]

Hey @Mahz, I got your wonderful error message when trying to send a PM.
