Getbig Updates - new look - ideas - and updating other items

[(F.L.A.M.E.R)]

I am pleased that the new size limits for posting photos has increased heaps. Thanks, Ron. The old limit was 900 Kb per photo and now it is 3000 Kb.

I have posted photos up to 4000 pixels wide. However, if I try to post larger pixel sizes I get an HTTP ERROR 500 that says they can't handle the request.

Try again? I have increased the memory allocation.

F.L.A.M.E.R. is the man that upgrades and handles things - really appreciate him, he is awesome in taking care of items, especially when work gets so busy ad crazy at the moment out there.

Thanks Ron! Much appreciated

Still doesn't work.

I click 'preview' and nothing happens.

Maybe try on a different browser? I can't seem to be able to reproduce this issue?

Access to the site is patchy at times. Some pages take an age to load; sometimes it times out with a connection error message.

[herne]

Not a big issue, but I've noticed the view-count on some posts with an uploaded image remains at 0.

I agree. Something not right here. Takes ages and ages to load the site then a long pause to load pages here.

Getbig.com is now as stable as Obamacare's web portal when it first went live.

I love getbig as much as the next getbigger but the new site is slower than shit.

Agreed.

Aware of all the slowness. To be honest, we have spent the last several days and countless hours planning the upgrades. Unfortunately, we couldn't cover all eventualities. First we had a DNS issue which is very rare occurrence. Now we have PHP which keeps on hanging which is directly connected to this forum. Luckily other critical services are working as normal. So, that's the good side of it.

Once I am confident about the server being stable, I would really appreciate if everyone could help me test. Thank you for all the patience. Hopefully not too long now.

Didn't load all day for me. I have a 200 meg connection and it was sitting there like an angelfire page on 14.4k hahaha.

I tried once, wouldn't load, tried again and it popped right open. Been hit and miss.

This has been my experience too. It probably has something to do with how flooded the Internet is with people having nothing else to do with their time.

I have Xfinity unlimited data plan.

Just did a speed test.

Your internet is as slow as your wit.

[Griffith]

Preview post still not working.

Your internet is as slow as your wit.

Oh yeah?   Gigabit   download speed 1000 Mbps   upload speed 35 Mbps     unlimited data

The above is the plan I am on with Xfinity. The other numbers were from the speed test report at that moment.

Quit being such a jerk.

Have you tried a different browser?

Last 24 hours have been quite stable. So, could you guys confirm if your browsing is normal.. or faster?

[stuntmovie]

FLAMER, How the hell do you know this stuff and manage to fix and improve it!?

Do you gotta be smart .... or can I do it too!?

Right now I can't even find the oblong space at the top where I can place an address and then push a button ... and go right to it.

So now I got to click on the history thing and find what I want to go to providing it it's still listed on that history thing/list.

I'm not asking for free advice .... I just want to complain ... but surely not for the work you're doing to fix up this House of Nuts who like o complain no matter what.

I'd like to learn just what ya do ... but I'm not smart enough to do it, Dude!

BTW ... Where did that word "DUDE" originate from? How did it work its way into the English vocabulary?

You are smart so I ask ya this.

So is there a name for the STUDY OF THE ORIGINATION OF WORDS?!

Thanks  ... and all that stuff, Flamer Dude!

Flame on!

[AbrahamG]

I think so. Thanks Flamer.

[SOMEPARTS]

Yes, much better. Thanks

Browsing is normal. I can't say if it is faster tbh.

[Griffith]

Yes, I tried now, it does work on a different browser. Thanks.

[Humble Narcissist]

Yes, much faster now.
