Yeah, I had this problem too. Just upload to tinypic.com ... etc. and then link to it. It will still upload it to ms.net and display from locally on the ms server.

Thanks for posting this tip. I got my wonderful/hideous* avatar back!

* delete according to taste.

Is there a way to turn off that dreadful [POSSIBLE SPAM] crap? I find that that's crampin' my style more often than I'd like to admit.

No? You're going to have to be a lot more specific - which spamfilter is giving you trouble?

ReaperCharlie · Post Post #52 (ISO) » Tue Dec 21, 2010 5:45 am

Ah. All of the ones for the image/url shorteners, like [POSSIBLEis.gdSPAM], [POSSIBLEtinyurlSPAM].com, bit.ly, etc.

I use those pretty liberally, and it's pretty annoying to have all my links broken.

Hehehehehehehehe ^^^^

The unfortunate problem with link shorteners is that they often are used to spam.

Mr. Flay · Post Post #55 (ISO) » Wed Dec 22, 2010 2:31 am

Yup. Tinypic is whitelisted I think, but anything that obfuscates a link is Bad News.

I'm still having site problems, btw. Just so mith knows things aren't fully fixed yet.

Is everyone experiencing problems located in North America?

Seacore · Post Post #58 (ISO) » Wed Dec 22, 2010 12:49 pm

Nope, I'm Australian, and I've still got them.

Just to give a bit more info.

Refreshing usually (although sometimes I have to do it several times) fixes the colour issue and the way that menus are often laid out on top of each other). Refreshing does not fix the fact that it doesn't load the whole page in a long thread (although it occassionally increases the length by a post or two)

Using spyrex's work around, typing into the URL, is the only way I've been able to view long thread pages.

I gave the workaround, not him.

Hmm, I'm currently using the Firefox 4 Beta on my other laptop, and so far the site seems to be fine. I'll have to run some more experiments to see which factor is actually affecting things.

And that's weird...I can edit that small post, but I can't edit my posts in my Large Theme.

Is it possible to whitelist at least one URL shortener (for instance, is,gd? that's the shortest). That'd be heavenly.

Scum trying to get town cred for something which isn't really a big deal. Obv.

I still have issues also. In UK, in chrome and IE, on laptop and desktop (and dads laptop). Using different internet connections. Cookies and stuff been deleted. Tried all sorts. Did I miss a piece of advice?

Seacore · Post Post #65 (ISO) » Thu Dec 23, 2010 12:24 pm

@ SC, yeah, sorry about that, momentary memory slip.

With the [url=] tag, I don't understand why you need/want a URL shortener at all. This isn't Twitter.

ReaperCharlie · Post Post #67 (ISO) » Thu Dec 30, 2010 10:24 am

Hmmm. You're right. Don't know what I was thinking. *hides*

Carry on.

boberz · Post Post #68 (ISO) » Fri Jan 07, 2011 5:27 am

Sorry to be a pest, but has anyone found any workarounds yet, and I presume a solution is being worked on still?

Looker · Post Post #69 (ISO) » Fri Jan 07, 2011 6:33 am

I haven't.

Exactly what problems are you still having?

boberz · Post Post #71 (ISO) » Fri Jan 07, 2011 11:09 am

The forum colours are grey and I cannot see many important features including the reply and post new topic buttons.

Mr. Flay · Post Post #72 (ISO) » Fri Jan 07, 2011 12:26 pm

I have not heard anything recently from the hardware guy, no. It's incomprehensible to me that it would be forum-related, since it started when we were making no changes, and seems to be affecting the wiki as well.

boberz · Post Post #73 (ISO) » Sun Jan 09, 2011 1:40 am

Fair enough

Looker · Post Post #74 (ISO) » Sun Jan 09, 2011 12:18 pm

The broadband place over here mentioned something about IP Ranges, but I'm not smart enough to understand so I kinda ignored her...
