71chally Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 This has been occurring for a week or so now, but when I copy a link address and paste it to the post text, and then post it, the address doesn't appear as a clickable link. The address text appears but you can't do anything with it? Anyone else getting this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you try and copy the URL/address bar content perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Did you remember to either press space or enter after pasting the link? If you just hit Submit, it'll remain as text because the editor hasn't had chance to parse the URL On 16/12/2020 at 22:23, jenko said: Just happed to me about HMS Hermes.....

Dick Could you go back into your history and pull up the thread there, then make some frivolous post (such as "test"), which might bring it back if it has fallen off the forum listing. This has happened a few times since the errors began. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has happened a few times since the errors began. It was the HMS Hermes thread. Funny thing is, it had all gone back to normal by the morning. The item I pasted was there in all it's glory. Farewell HMS Hermes..... - Page 5 - Modern - Britmodeller.com Playing up again ^^^ that is a straight copy and paste. and yes I did press space after pasting.

Kushan_Farsight Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Not sure whether to add this as a comment or create its own topic, but it seems that on the main page ( https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/) and all the various subsections, a lot of user profile picture thumbnails seem to be not loading, with around 50% showing the generic 'dead/broken image link' thumbnail. I can add a pic if needed and not sure if this is specific just to my machine /internet connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can add a pic if needed and not sure if this is specific just to my machine /internet connection I'm getting much of the same. The users without avatars don't have the usual image. My user name at the top right of the screen is displayed twice with one just superimposed over the main Mick4350 just slightly askew. The avatar fills the top left hand portion at about one tenth of the normal size is appears to be a light blue colour with a green semicircle at the bottom with a tiny white cloud above it and there also appears that the top right corner of the picture seems like it wants to turn the page. Its like someone has folded the corner of a books page and its been like this all evening ( six to eight hours or so ).

Julien Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 The links and avatar issues are related to the latest patch from support to solve the 500 and 503 error issue. Mike is working with them to resolve this one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coors54 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I photo host on Village Photo as well and their security certificate expired a couple of days ago so all the links have gone down and getting onto the site is a chore through Edge, it makes you feel like you are going to break the Internet or give away all your passwords! Hopefully Village.photo will sort it quickly otherwise we're into another Photobucket fiasco. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Yes, the same thing has happened to all of my photos. This happened with VP about a year ago, and once they sorted out the certificate, it all went back to normal. I hope that they sort it soon as VP has been very easy for me to use so far.
