Maintenance Day - Nov 3rd

Since the great Maintenance window, I am getting this error when trying to upload images from IOS:

“Sorry, the file you are tying to upload is not authorized. (authorized extensions: jpg, png, gif, txt…” other extensions snippet, but you get the idea.

In this case Size doesn’t matter, tried selecting everything from Small to Large.

I’ll keep fudging about and see if I can munge a result/workaround/fix.

I did take off the file extensions but thought I put them all back. For iOS images it might be .heif and .heic file types, that we then convert to JPG server-side.

I’ll put those on, so let us know if it works.

I use a freeware HEIC converter that allows me to convert the images to JPG and reduce the size.

I’ve just checked and the image I’m trying to upload is a jpeg.

I’ll do some more testing.

I’ve just downloaded a jpg from the “Where you are thread”… Aginor’s lovely flower, tried to re-upload that to this thread and get the same error.

More testing…

I can confirm. Image uploads from IOS don’t work… Investigating.

jpeg or jpg?

Both

I didn’t have any trouble with a jpg from iOS but I did forget to put back on the .jpeg extension in the settings. Oops, and sorry about that! :smile_cat:

@keets - Can you try again please? Also, is this Chrome or Safari on iOS (even though they are all essentially Safari underneath due to Apple requiring stockholders to collect all the currency in the world).

Anyone else having trouble editing posts?
I tried to edit my most recent post and I kept getting this error message.

The post is still visible to me.

The only thing that comes to mind that could have caused the editing problem is that the post I quoted is over a year old.

That is weird. You are editing the post from 4 hours ago? 'Cause it will let me edit it… weird.

Works for me…
Perhaps a glitch in the Matrix when you posted? :dark_sunglasses:

Did you click the Save Edit button after you finished an Edit? I was able to get in and Edit the text but once I clicked the Save Edit button I got the error message I posted. :sunglasses:

Edit:
I see that you did use the save Edit butt @Fridge. As @Troll mentions it must have been something on my side of the matrix. 023

Very possible. I am not going to try and edit the post now though. I do not want an Edit history to show. If you Edit a post I believe within 3 minutes, maybe a wee bit longer, the system acts as if any Edits in that time frame did not happen and it is still the Original post.

I tried editing my edit and that worked.
Yeah, that initial editing window is for posters like me, who press reply before we read through… :wink:

Have the forum defaults been changed recently?

I am only able to view 30 topics per Category. In the past there was a More button or the list updated to add more Topics when you got to the bottom that allowed you to view every topic in the Category.

Examples:
Hangar Flying has 1,686 Topics but only the 30 most recent Topics are visible when I open the Category.

  • Hangar Flying 1,686 Topics - 30 Visible
  • Meta 147 Topics - 30 Visible
  • Articles 130 Topics - 30 Visible
  • Marketplace 15 Topics - 16 Visible (This is not a typo.)
  • Virtual Air Line 4 Topics - 20 Visible (This is not a typo.)

The same thing is happening when I check my Profile.
Activity - Topics created 79, Topics listed on my userpage in the Topics section 30.

These limitations exist using my desktop computer using the Firefox and Pale Moon browsers. They also exist using the Chrome browser on my phone.

I have checked to see if there is something that could be altered in my Profile to address this change but I am unable to find anything.

Looks like a bug from the last update

I’ll update tomorrow.

EDIT: Updated and seems fixed now.
