No, that's been happening for at least 2 days. I try to hit reply so I can get the pic links, no go: reply button is not responsive. I right-click and hit properties, I get the Icyboards proxy link.

What's going on with the board? Did icyboards introduce some new update, and that's what wrong?

Icyboards have forced through an update.
It seems to be image related.
The only thing I could find so far is that avatars have to uploaded to the site and urls are no longer valid.

To fix the Avatar issue you need to do the following
"clear the cache for "attachmenttypes" under Tools & Maintenance > Cache Manager"

Url's for Avatars are definitely disabled.

I just did that and no change, plus I uploaded a new avatar.

I think this calls for drastic measures.

Good luck talking to Spork
Not sure about anyone else, but I dont seem to be receiving alerts on topics either.

Sseems to be a host of problems after this upgrade.

I noticed the quick edit (the post in line edit option) is gone, and all edits of posts force you to the edit screen instead. One problem with that is while it is the post box screen, most of the toolbar is gone, which to me sort of defeats the purpose of forcing users there in the first place.

I far prefered the quick edit myself.

Quick Edit was much, much easier to use. Bring that back, you bastards! *shakes fist*

Found the problem with Images being hosted by Icyboard proxy.

As of the 14th of Feb, all Icyboard forums are now using HTTPS rather than HTTP.
So all images now need to be hosted by Icyboards to get around the issue.

Icyboards have turned this on by default.
As we run a custom Domain perhaps this is being an issue.
Apparently, as far as I can tell, as a custom Domain we need to have a separate Certificate.

You'll need to work with Spork to set that up, most likely.

I would suggest https://letsencrypt.org/ as your CA.
They're both free and very, very reputable.

EDIT: A good guide on automating cert renewal: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-nginx-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-14-04

Once again, I am having trouble posting.

This is the message I get when I try to post:


I was trying to post in the 'Guess Who's Dead Now' thread. I tried linking to an article, no go. I removed the URL and the Quote brackets, still no post.

The message I tried to post can be seen in the image, because I still can't post it, even here.

UTF8 issue if you remove the accent on Eiyu Gaiden, I believe it will post fine.
I don't know why, because the 'accented u' is in the UTF8 character set.

Yep, that worked. Thanks T.I.

The forum's code is shot to the shit house, everything's buggered.
Apparently Wata and Ero have plans to move to a new code.
We will just have to wait until it's implemented.
Hopefully there will still be people here when it happens.
