I noticed that the post counts aren't working. Is it possible some lint from the Shamwow
got stuck somewhere?

Hmm, they seem to be working for me?

Still working fine today.

-Wayne

fine for me

one "exception" is that after posting on a thread, the post sometimes hangs - I see the post text as if I never hit the post it button instead of seeing the thread with my post at the bottom

You are correct Sir...

Yo are correct. Everything seem to be back to normal if not better.

In the name of the "modesty" principle, I may have to report you to an unsuspecting Moderator (Parts, Bill, Jack or Noah) that would go along for a week suspension for over stating achievement :D;):D

You deserve all the thanks you are getting on the 3 or 4 on going thread.

Merci mon ami, if it was not for you (and your site) I would have not be driving Das Babe like there is no tomorrow.

The quick post thing works using javascript, and sometimes the browser doesn't always cooperate. I've seen this before - the server has sent a reply back saying "I've made the post" or something like that, but the browser doesn't get it for some reason. I think this is browser related, it happens more on some browsers and less on others...

No sweat!

super slow this morning... but not always :confused:

Interesting, after the morning maintenance the forum is back to being fast.

I guess it must be a problem on my end (post count)
All 4 of Wayne's posts above are #22675

Still moves slow for me and seems to be related to the time of day. Fast in the morning and very slow from 3PM EST onward.

PLEASE, do not use google etc. for translation, terrible!!!

thx - I use Firefox, BTW

After watching the stats on the server, I believe that all speed issues are fixed. If someone is still experiencing slowdowns, then my best guess is that the problem is with their connection, or with a route from their ISP to the co-location center at USC (where the servers are located).

This Problem Should Be Easily...

Now that you got this one fix, how about this one;

Is the top sticker call "New Pelican stickers" on another threat started in August 10, is the current one? Could use a couple of the bottom one :D;):D

Hi Wayne,

I noticed that all of the photos I try to save are in Bitmap format. I can only upload jpeg files but I can only save in bitmap. Is this a problem on my end? It seems to be this way on the Early 911S Registry also, but this is a new development for me. I have always had jpeg as the default photo save format until a week or so ago.

:confused:

Yup, sorry to say this is a problem with your PC...

download IrfanView

Thanks for the suggestion. I have always used the Microsoft Picture Viewer that comes with Windows. It allows basic editing. I have always been able to save as jpeg, usually only jpeg but sometimes other formats. It is only recently that the bitmap thing happened. This is when I right click and say "Save Picture As".

I found some stuff that suggested deleting temporary internet files but that did not work.

I can convert to jpeg by saving the bitmap, making a copy, compressing the copy for the conversion to jpeg, saving the copy, then having the option of deleting the bitmap. This is just too much hassle.

The weird thing is that if I try to save one of my Flickr photos (all jpegs) they can only be saved bitmap. If I try to save off Pelican (bitmap not allowed), then bitmap is the only option.

In the file "save picture as" dialog box that you use to save pictures in windows by right clicking the picture or using the file menu up in the toolbar there is usually a little drop down menu on the right side in the "save as type" line down at the bottom of the dialog box.

When I save a picture from here that drop down menu lets you save the file as a jpeg or bitmap.
Select which one you want and go from there, or use a simple and fast photoeditor program like ACDSee32 to convert the bitmap to jpeg or whatever format you want.

I only get bitmap in the drop down menu. I used to have options, the first one being jpeg. If I try to name the file "file.jpg", it end up as a bitmap file "file.jpg.bmp"
