Updated Panther Nation

[UNIAlum95]

I don't know if this is still the place to post issues, but the "mark all read" menu item at the top hasn't worked for the past month or two. Before that it was one of my favorite features.

Bringing this back to the front along with the arrow on the full site. Both of these functions are broken and the "mark all read" function is sure handy when the bots hit the site and spam a bunch of old threads. Any chance of getting this fixed?

hosting photos probably increases the cost of running the forum. better to save money and make people host their photos elsewhere

I'm trying to upload a photo but have yet to figure out how without going to a third party hosting site. It seems like this new set up allows for the ability to upload direct, but it keeps saying the files are corrupted.

Image uploading has not worked on Panther Nation for a few years now. Regardless of what you try, the default error message reads that the file is corrupt (which us not the case - the admin locked it down).

I'm also having an issue with the arrow in the bottom right corner. It used to take me to the top of the page/thread I'm on. Now it takes me to the forum listing page.

I agree 100%

I'd have to agree with Ames' logic that image hosting on this site/server is just more trouble than it is worth. Find somewhere else to host the photos and link it from there. Unless there is also an issue with linking to remote images on this forum.

The logic is solid.

But then post that notice at the media gallery or just shut it down entirely (if the software will allow).

It is a function that used to work here and one day no longer did, with an error message that was not correct (I had tried to upload much smaller files and still got the code).

Any other issues or just the uploading of images?

The size was purposely set small. At one point the hosting costs were costing me a lot per month. There are plenty of good image hosting services and PN isn't meant to be one.

I'll probably go the route that most forums go and just have the image button only allow linking and not uploading. But I wanted to keep allowing the custom avatar uploads.

Okay, but I am still unable to upload images far smaller that the 97 KB limit that the error message states. Is it on my side? Using GIMP to make .gifs and .jpegs, trying to upload with FF and Chrome.

Is it possible to put a note on the Media Gallery itself stating that it is essentially disabled on this forum? Might save you from getting questions. Thanks.

What's a link to a post that you have trouble editing? What browser and version are you using?

Ames - I am still unable to load photos to the media gallery, so that I may link to a photo in that repository within a post.

Using a Chrome and FF, trying with both .jpeg and .gif for both browsers.

I get the message:

"Upload failed. You have exceeded the forum's upload quota of 97.7 KB by 1,009.1 KB"

In this case - and other posted about here - I get that message regardless of file size, even those well under 97 KB. I just tried again with a 27 KB .jpeg and a 9 KB .gif.

Thank you.

I'm going to edit this post.

Edited.
