Great job in getting pinside up and running. I am sure all the switches and relays will working 100% percent in no time. Thanks again for all the hard work.

Quoted from LTG:The man.
Pinside was made and runs by him.
LTG : )
I’m kidding....I’m that not so serious guy who loves pinball
Quoted from LTG:Please type slower so us old guys understand.
LTG : )
You’re not old yet! Thanks for the abundance of knowledge you share!
On topic threads, there used to be all pics that were uploaded at the top of the page from all members, has this changed or am I missing something?

That was another one of the site features that was temporarily disabled.
Quoted from ForceFlow:That was another one of the site features that was temporarily disabled.
Ok, I was afraid of that and glad it's only temporary.

sometimes it becomes temporary forever. Zike. Lol

Even if that's true, at least the pics were not lost. But it is convenient when you just want to scroll through the pics when you need to.

Came here to say the same thing, glad someone else loves that feature as much as I do! Especially on the game room thread!
Quoted from spfxted:The site was down???
Yes it was. For almost a week. Where you been? Hibernating. Zike. Lol. ( for many in here this is like a daily dose of drug ). And not using it for a week I felt like I couldn’t sleep well.

Is just a Joke so we can laugh at it while all is fix.

Just wanted to stop in and say just how much I value this forum. I don’t have many hobbies, but I have a lot of interests. It seems like when I’m looking into a specialized topic—say watches or car (repair), my search directs to a specialty forum with a ton of specialized knowledge not unlike pinside.
But unlike pinside, I’ll be reading a forum post from 10+ years ago and all the hyperlinks to attachments and photos are dead. Sometimes it’ll be a critical photo to describe something, and it just doesn’t exist anymore, and it never will. 9/10 times, the original user who posted it is no longer active, so the source material is gone forever.
I feel confident that all the info and photos on pinside will stay here, and those who search for answers in the future will be able to find exactly what they’re looking for without dead ends. It’s easy to take all that for granted.
I can’t imagine losing all the knowledge posted by the greats like Terryb, Vid, and LTG. Thanks again Robin and crew for all the hard work keeping this going!

I gotchya. I tried this morning to start a new Pinside shop but was unsuccessful. I filled out the required info but it would not complete the process. Won't accept address.

Super quick update. All is going great with the new server!
The Pinside Top 100 is back to weekly updates.
I’m still working on the image server.
And don’t worry: Everything that was on Pinside before the outage will be back. I mean achievements and topic image gallery. I just need some more time while I first move to a new image system. More on that later!
Good to be back!
Great work, Robin!
Is it correct that adding a video to the Multimedia section of a Splash page isn't working yet? I'm getting an error when I try.
Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:Am I having a brain fart? Where are the links within the threads to view all images?
Scroll up a few posts:

Gotcha. Thought it might have been because I let my + expire, so I was off renewing that before I came back to catch up (I was two pages behind).
I also noticed the "all posts made by you" section under the Posts tab hasn't updated since before the crash. Just in case that one was flying under the radar. Thanks for all your hard work Robin!

Seems to be working for me...

Same here. I’ve logged out and back in. It persists across multiple devices.
Interestingly enough, this last post ended up showing in mine, but the last one before that is from before the blip. Not a huge deal though, and glad to hear it's working for others!
Not working for me either. I cant remove a game from my collection either. Page freezes on me, have to exit pinside then return just to get back into forum
Quoted from Jappie:Great work, Robin!

This issue should be fixed, Jasper.
“Posts by you” is a known issue for which I need some more time to get it optimized and working properly again.
Collection page bug is news to me, I’ll see if I can replicate it here.
I need to dig further, but I am experiencing an issue with adding a new high score:
- utilizing Safari on an i12
- cannot type in the search field to locate the pin I want to submit a new score because the 'keyboard' won't pop up
my workflow is to add the new score via laptop Chrome browser, then edit the score to add the image taken via my mobile
- interesting note: after modifying the score to add the image, my Pulse notes that editing a high score '//not actually possible at the moment' but the edit is completing
small and petty, but making note of it since I came across it

Quoted from dmacy:I am noticing that images are blocked including avatars. Also upvotes and downvotes aren’t showing up the same. Wasn’t sure if temporary or not. This is IOS 14.4.2
[quoted image]
Try doing a hard refresh in your browser (on iOS, just tap the refresh button next to the address bar). There was change with the image server, which seems to have caused some of the avatars to go missing (including mine in your screenshot). A refresh should fix that.
Beyond that, there were unfortunately a small number of avatar images that went missing during the site outage, but hopefully they can be recovered once there is access to the original server. I don't know when that will be, though.

I know him(posting habits at least); he comes and goes a week on or off at a time.
As for the rest of us abnormal people who can’t go for more than a few hours....

I tried several time to start my PS store but I keep getting an address error even though I re-entered my address several times and checked all boxes.
Noticed several images missing in one of my ads & in the corresponding thread.

Fyi when clicking on a linked game to read about it, any images that appear under the "Flyers" section say "image could not be loaded" after clicking on them. Thumbnails do appear though. All other images in the gallery lower down the page work fine.

I think you’re more hook in this than me.

Looking into it. The files are still present in backups so something weird's going on there... 
Found the cause of some images not working: the resolution was higher that I would allow. This has been fixed but you may need to clear your cache to see it.

Could you contact me via PinsideMail and possibly include screenshots of what you are doing (and of the exact error message)? Thanks!

Seeing the same thing here, I will investigate why this is happening. Meanwhile, I found that tapping the score box will show the keyboard. So the workaround is to enter the score first, then tap the machine name field to enter the machine.
The 'not actually possible at the moment' is from when editing scores was not yet possible. I forgot to remove that but will do so
Seems multiple pages for image galleries aren't working. I'm not seeing links to the additional pages.

Everything is back, thank you.
Quoted from Pinball_Hawk:robin the date markers are broken for fourm posts.
[quoted image]
Whoah!! What happened to your fonts?
What do you mean by date markers? Do you mean the green "unread posts" boxes? Maybe log out and back in again.
Quoted from Rodent:I want to submit a new score because the 'keyboard' won't pop up
This should be fixed now!
Quoted from robin:What do you mean by date markers?
The text that should display minutes/hours/days looks to be empty. Font color issue, maybe?
[edit]: I just switched to dark mode briefly, and it seems ok to me.
