Bug found attempting to upload an avatar from the URL.

Did it work in the end? Does it work now?

Attempted three times at the time of the original post and it kept coming up with the same error message. In the end I uploaded from my PC.

Will attempt again now

Same error.

I've looked into this and it appears to be a limitation of the 'hosting' we are presently using. To fix this I need to tweak something called the 'php.ini' file which the hosting people won't allow me to do. if this leads to any more limitations, I will just have to move the site somewhere else.

If you could post here your workaround for the problem, I think it would be very helpful for everyone else.

Sorry about this.

It's not really a problem anyway, there is still the option just to save the picture you want to the PC and then use the upload from PC option which works perfectly fine. Might be easier if you are able just to get rid of the upload from URL option all told and end of problem. I don't think people will care for the sake of 10 seconds extra clicking.

Can I quote you on this?

is this the right place to ask why i have to keep going to the beginning of every thread when i want to read them instead of it taking me to the most recent post i have not read? did that make sense? i cant sleep

is this the right place to ask why im an idiot - so i gather that i cant get to the last post i have personally read and have to backtrack from the most recent post

fuck thanks was, im a mess i cant think straight or apparently read either

The site's been running quite slowly for me over the past few days, a couple of the posters have mentioned the same. It's the same on Firefox and IE.

Has this resolved itself? I think everything has come to a stop in this heat.

It's been fine since, yeah.

Oh, great. Sorry I wasn't on the case sooner.

Although to be honest, I wouldn't be that much use as these things are like appliances: either they work or they don't.

As some point really soon there's gonna be a server migration which should make things calmer, fitter, happier and more productive.

Groovy.
