Thanks Musical, reporting it all now!

No, Musical, i've not tried posting images before so this is a first-time problem; and on the Photobucket page, i tried each of the 4 options listed in that box on the right side of the page, got the yellow highlighted 'copied' message each time, but nothing worked. SlowDeepBreaths seems to be having the same problem!

I had to switch browsers. Pictures work in Chrome but not in Firefox.

Ok Mod, the techies have now done something REALLY serious: I can't access discussion boards at all from my ipad (but I do have access from my Mac as I'm writing to you). I got discussion boards on my ipad an hour ago. now I get the BCO main page and when I try to access Discussion Boards, I get this message (I hope I have it right): Safari could not open because too many redirects. Tried several times and got same message (have never gotten this particular message on my ipad before).

Moderators · March 2014

Yes, they deployed some changes, which unexpectedly brought the boards down. Our apologies!

it's working now, thank you!

Bluetail · March 2014

i'm in Chrome on the Mac, used the 'direct' box on the Photobucket page & i think it worked! Thanks for your help!

Hi Mods. Maybe I'm hallucinating, but before the maintainence, when you went to active topics, didn't it go beyond 24 hours? I swear you could go beyond at least page 12 (at least that's the highest number I can remember with posts going back at least a couple of days). Now it's page 9, nothing past 24 hours. It was the same logged in or out. I might be out to lunch, but could you please confirm one way or another? I don't remember having to check in every day to stay up to date before. Thanks.

FireFox, not working again for posting photos!

Moderators · March 2014

Hi Leggo,

This is Mod Melissa, and I can't remember either! I just asked the techs. I don't think that I typically go back more than 24hours, so I haven't paid attention .

Teka, I added that to the tech report. Grrrrr.....

Sorry for the bugs!

Teka · March 2014

Still no FireFox!

Teka · March 2014

Still no FireFox!

Moderators · March 2014

Teka, the tech team isn't working tonight as far as we know. We'll post when we hear that there's a change.

Solen · March 2014

Things are better! Thank your tech team for their hard work to set things right!

Teka · March 2014

FireFox worked and then stopped working again for about 5 minutes this morning!

Moderators · March 2014

Thanks, Teka. I think they are on that today!

Teka · March 2014

Worked for about 5 minutes an hour ago!

hang tight. Might take another day

So, this is what our tech help has said: (want to take a look, and let us know?)

Verified that inserting image links from Flickr into posts works in Chrome and Firefox.

The issue may be that it can be tricky to pick out the correct link from Flickr. When on an image page, clicking the "share" button reveals a panel with three sections. Members may be inclined to try to use the "Grab the link" link when inserting into a post, but this is actually a link to the Flickr interface for the image. The necessary link can be found within the "Grab the HTML/BBCode" section, after selecting the "HTML" or "BBCode" radio buttons, of the form "http://farmN.staticflickr.com/X/Y.ext"

Teka · March 2014

I had 0 problem before the upgrade.

I give up!

Teka · March 2014

I had no problem before upgrade.

I give up!

Moderators · March 2014

we're on it!

Teka · March 2014

Husband said that not being able to post photos through FireFox was caused by upgrade.

I'll not post here again! ThumbsDown

For those on FF, what add ons you have installed and how you have them set can make a big difference with how a website is run. Teka, do you mean you cant add piks from your own HDD or FLickr, photobucket and other places on the web? By any chance do you have any security software like "noscripts" installed? Its another layer of security typically used by those concerned about websites tracking you and what not. Locking down your system is great but the trade off is some websites are anywhere from partially to completely broken. You basically have to set up a whitelist.

When I got a pik from flickr I: Right clicked image > copy image location > open Insert image on BCO> Click "link" button> paste in the link > insert > pik shows.

Same credit as before.

Mods I asked when https was instantiated. Just wondering if it was with this upgrade? BTW its still not globally working.
