PMBug changes are coming

OK, but there are different limits/settings for various places where images can be uploaded (avatars, profile pics, messages). I need to know where you were trying to post the image (into a message?) in order to find the correct setting.

Sorry Bug, I should have responded to your question

I was attempting to insert a 3mb image into the body of the message .........


As for android devices, I am seriously considering going back to a pre smart phone, so track n trace can ignore me
As it is, I generally leave the thing behind and only have it with me if Im using the car, in case help is required.

oh yeah another observation .....

The zero hedge link in the news section seems to lag even more than it used to.
It used to be 3-4 articles but Its currently an entire 'page' in arrears, ie 20 articles.

OK Thanks for the feedback.

I'll look into the image size limits for attachments.

There is also likely a configuration setting for the news feed links that I need to adjust to ensure the feeds are updated more frequently. I'm on it.

 

[pmbug]

Image size limit is currently 2MB and that is the max size allowed by the server.

News feed cache was not updating for some reason. I'm not sure why just yet. I'm investigating.

I take it your not a fan of the color scheme? I never claimed to be an artist. lol. I'll see about getting a professionally designed theme as an option.

I went into preferences & managed to switch it to the blue, it's not quite as retina blasting as the bright yellow.

So if you take a screenshot of your image, then click the photo button next to settings, you can post pictures that way.

 

[pmbug]

When you click the "image" icon in the message editor toolbar, there is a link icon in the drop down that appears. If you click it, you can then paste the URL to an image you find hosted elsewhere on the net and the forum will generate the correct code to display the image in your post (without having to screenshot and upload).

You can switch the theme between the default (now renamed to "blue") and "pmbug" via a link at the bottom left of every page. You don't have to go to your preferences page to change it.

... The zero hedge link in the news section seems to lag even more than it used to....

I've fixed the caching problem. The cache should never be more than a half hour old now.

I've not been here for months, but it looks good to me.

 

[rblong2us]

Zero Hedge no longer showing up here Bug ?

 

[pmbug]

That's really odd. I didn't change anything. I'll have to investigate later when I get to my computer.

 

[rblong2us]

Now fixed

Thank you .

 

[pmbug]

Lulz. I didn't actually do anything. Was busy all day yesterday and never got around to investigating. I suspect ZH had an issue with RSS feed (on their end).

A comment on the Reuters Business News section
For me the articles are unchanging and theres no live link to them.
first one is about people flocking to somewhere trying to sort their unemployment claims the last one is about a new truck from Ford

I'm happy to allow steam age computing at my end to be the problem though ( still running xp )

 

[pmbug]

Reuters news feed server might be having an issue. Or they might have changed the address. Pmbug news page is just showing the last cache.

I'll investigate when I get to my computer.

 

[pmbug]

I'm not sure what's happening with Reuters. The feeds.reuters.com server (subdomain) appears to have been taken offline. I'm not sure if this is something temporary or permanent. I can't find anything on reuters.com about changes to the RSS feed (or any direction for using RSS feeds on their site). They might have just pulled it.
