Title: Broken Signature Pics
Post by: Freyaday on April 13, 2011, 04:33:13 pm: This has been happening to several people's sigs for a while now, and only recently did I discover what was going on:Sometimes, in people's sigs, for what ever reason the the thing that creates them misses the beginning [nocode](http://tag, and thus they are stuck with a url and a)[/nocode] in their sig that shouldn't be there. Everything is fine on the profile page, it's only on the forums that this problem appears, and it's in the sig itself, not that particular instance of it. I've just figured it out because it just happened to me.

Edit: It also seems to skip over the entire [?]server[/?] name, only printing the part after the first/

Post by: Freyaday on April 13, 2011, 04:37:00 pm: I don't think so, because the userbar generator and image uploader are still up. I just checked.

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on April 13, 2011, 04:38:06 pm: Nah, it must be your browser cache, because if you try accessing http://removedfromgame.com/ it doesn't respond at all.
Title: Re: Broken Signature Pics
Post by: Freyaday on April 13, 2011, 04:38:45 pm: Nah, that was the first time I've accessed either of those sites on this computer.
This is what I get at http://removedfromgame.com

Removedfromgame.com is currently being redesigned and repurposed.

Please come back later.

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on April 13, 2011, 04:41:10 pm: Hmm strange. This means that some DNS issues or the like is occuring, because several people can't access it. Otherwise maybe 1and1 banned several IP addresses accidentally.

I'll probably keep the images banned until this is resolved, so it won't impair half of the people experience on the forums.

Post by: Jim Bauwens on April 13, 2011, 04:45:57 pm: Its not a DNS issue, it correctly resolves the ip.

Title: Re: Broken Signature Pics
Post by: yunhua98 on April 13, 2011, 04:57:13 pm: it works for me, and its definitely not a browser cache. ???
Title: Re: Broken Signature Pics
Post by: Eeems on April 13, 2011, 04:58:34 pm: I've been having no issues connecting to removedfromgame.com at all either
Title: Re: Broken Signature Pics
Post by: Darl181 on April 13, 2011, 05:00:41 pm: Works for me, too

How about this...someone could make a poll: "Does removedfromgame.com work for you as of now?"

I'm pretty sure it's a geographic thing, something en route messed up or something...
Title: Re: Broken Signature Pics
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on April 13, 2011, 05:02:00 pm: THat said, maybe it's resolved now but it still didn't propagate everywhere.

Also 1and1 might have banned the IPs from where the most traffic came from.
Title: Re: Broken Signature Pics
Post by: ztrumpet on April 13, 2011, 05:41:19 pm: Funny, it's working again for me. ???
Title: Re: Broken Signature Pics
Post by: yunhua98 on April 13, 2011, 05:42:35 pm: DJ probably reenabled it. ;) works for me. ;)
Title: Re: Broken Signature Pics
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on April 13, 2011, 06:01:47 pm: Yeah I did. As for now I still can't access RFG tho. I'm not sure about Scout and Jim...

Post by: Freyaday on April 14, 2011, 10:39:53 am: It also seems to be happening to people with sig pics that aren't hosted at removedfromgame, judging by the url remains I can see. Also, if it was related to some sort of banning or blocking, it would've happened to everyone at the some time, instead of happening to only a few people at random times.

Give me an example and a screenshot of how pictures look like please.
Title: Re: Broken Signature Pics
Post by: Freyaday on April 14, 2011, 10:47:20 am: I will as soon I as find one and figure how to take a screenshot in Windows.
Title: Re: Broken Signature Pics
Post by: Stefan Bauwens on April 14, 2011, 10:48:42 am: You must click on the button on your keyboard called printscreen.
Then you make a new bmp file. Click edit and do cntrl+v

Freayday, this just looks like a duplicate topic to me... Of the RFG is down.
Title: Re: Broken Signature Pics
Post by: Freyaday on April 14, 2011, 10:54:44 am: Here. As you can see, Zippy's got a broken pic, as shown by the url remnants in blue in his sig. If this was related to removedfromgame.com being down, I'd have the same problem, but as you can see I currently am not.
Edit: sorry, messed up the screen shot.
Title: Re: Broken Signature Pics
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on April 14, 2011, 06:14:07 pm: It's an image hosted on Internetometer/Dragcave. They're banned from Omnimaga because their server is pure slow crap.

Anyway RFG seems back up on my side now. However I don't know about Scout/Stefan Bauwens...
Title: Re: Broken Signature Pics
Post by: Darl181 on April 14, 2011, 11:43:05 pm: It's the internetometer, and yeah they're banned for slow loading times.

I ended up making a userbar and it actually fits in now ;D
