This comment: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/blog/get-your-lab-on-mailbag!/msg3157064/#msg3157064

Underneath the post, I see a small preview of someone's lab.
When I click to enlarge, I get a printscreen of a free energy blog post.
Is something off?

People! It’s a known issue, and it’s got nothing to do with your browser cache or anything, as it’s purely a server database problem. It seems to be triggered by interrupted posting.


In fact, over the last week, I've editing my posts, deleting & re-uploading images again & again.
Does anyone know what's been going on?
Yes.

See what the server admin has said, starting here: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/website-error-reports/msg3107598/#msg3107598

I have managed to replicate this, it seems to be caused when you try to post the message before the attachment has finished uploading, or you cancel an attachment and then upload another. Still trying to nut down the exact sequence of events that cause it.
This is not the bug I'm getting.  I've have waited for images and other attachments to upload, like tiny ones of 10-75kb files.  They are fine for anywhere around 1 hour to 5 days, then the files either get corrupt or replaced with other files.

The tiny icon versions seem to have the right image, but the real photo inside isn't the right one, yet, a few days ago, everything was correct.

Example:
Bad file: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/projects/modern-equivalent-of-74hc4046-pll/msg3153558/#msg3153558
Second image is wrong: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/projects/modern-equivalent-of-74hc4046-pll/msg3154396/#msg3154396
First image bad: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/projects/modern-equivalent-of-74hc4046-pll/msg3152154/#msg3152154
Wrong image: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/projects/modern-equivalent-of-74hc4046-pll/msg3152816/#msg3152816
First 2 images wrong: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/projects/modern-equivalent-of-74hc4046-pll/msg3147392/#msg3147392
Third image wrong image: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/projects/modern-equivalent-of-74hc4046-pll/msg3147392/#msg3147392

Back on the 25th, almost all these images were good.

Yeah, that's because you uploaded other files thereafter; THEY borked your attached files further back in the timeline. Has happened to my pics kaboodles of times over the last month; sometimes days later. This NO LONGER HAPPENS if I do not use the first attachment radio button as shown above.

Side stepping the first attachment button as is norm these days to get reliable links to thumbnails has worked like a charm however an interesting development today with a thumbnail not being a thumbnail !  :o  :-//

I've seen that too, but it always seemed to be related to a failed upload via the current 1st button PITA. Have not personally experienced it since using the workaround.

Is it possible you accidentally forgot and used the first button? I have a few times and paid the price. :-DD

Nope, most certainly not. Wouldn't have bought it here if I wasn't damn sure about that.

FWIW I have been using the, skip the first slot, method for the last week or so and have not seen any problems yet.

I don't always put some pithy remark down here.

Mmkay... I just had a bona-fide FAIL of the "Skip the first" workaround.

Tried to post a 492K gif (seen below; is supposed to be animated); eevBlog gagged on it and then gave the "a new post has been made" popup. Then, the giant blank thumbnail FAIL. Then, new behavior, returned an Error 404 when I clicked on the link in the message. Eventually gave up and just linked from giphy.com.

For historical record, high demand on the TEA thread: 20 regular named users, 66 visitors at the time.

[EDIT]

GIF wound up here: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/test-equipment-anonymous-(tea)-group-therapy-thread/?action=dlattach;attach=1038938;image

Attached to this post from 2 days ago: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/test-equipment-anonymous-(tea)-group-therapy-thread/msg3168730/#msg3168730

It displaced the image of a Grid laptop; which then displaced another image somewhere, I'm sure. :palm:

Cheers,

Errors still poping up and the second file attachments slot BS doesn't help either.  Even on files as small as 2kb.
A 0.97 kbyte file completely dissipated which now reports '404 - Attachment not found'.

TEST. I have disabled the line attachments plugin to see if it makes a difference.

Okay... so this means we'll have to use img tags for inline pix? No problem. It'll encourage people (I hope) to use the height= & width= modifiers to limit eye pollution. :-+

Nope. Still messing with our heads if we use the first attachment button. Attachment made here: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/test-equipment-anonymous-(tea)-group-therapy-thread/msg3181178/#msg3181178

was supposed to be this:

Instead it cascaded back to here, displacing the exploding head emoji: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/test-equipment-anonymous-(tea)-group-therapy-thread/msg3181032/#msg3181032

The image of Ferengi Quark it linked to instead was from a THIRD post, which appears unchanged: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/test-equipment-anonymous-(tea)-group-therapy-thread/msg3181088/#msg3181088



I'm going back to the "Skip the first" workaround.

Thanks for trying, Dave!  :-+

FWIW I have been using the, skip the first slot, method for the last week or so and have not seen any problems yet.
Yet it seems pretty reliable other than the one hiccup I had.

That second png reports an error in PS if I try to dl it.

Yeah... eevBlog has had a wandering singularity ever since the last software update; it randomly erases pics from our current timeline. When the singularity eats a pic, it is "unmade" as if it never existed; which makes every pic associated with a user that came after that shift down a slot in the database. ;)  Much hilarity ensues.  :-DD

The "Skip the First" slot workaround casts a warding spell which usually works unless the server daemons are especially overloaded by high numbers of visitors to a thread; the singularity seems especially attracted to the busiest threads. *
