Posting Pictures and Invalid Server Response Error

[Magnet]

In my first post, I kept getting an "Invalid Server Response" error and the pictures won't post using the upload method. I will try the embed code, but what's up with the Invalid Server Response?

Just a quick test - Lake-view at the Cabin I have mentioned in other posts. Is it acceptable to upload photo's to the server? I do not have a web based storage space.

Yes but... the picture upload/resize is all messed up. Im going through the code now to figure out who horrible thing they did. MiniD suggested just making the photo upload 2048x2048 which seems like a good quick hack until I can sort through the code.

2048x2048.........There is a real danger of the space being used up quickly with that size of picture

I post my pics as a direct link from photoshop....works fine for what i do

I'm seeing Invalid Server Response when I compose a PM. Nothing seems affected but curious if there's anything on my side that will prevent this. Thanks.

I get 'em in reply mode.Worst is, they have a penchant for popping up just as I hit backspace, which then kicks me out of reply. Aggravating as hell.

I cant replicate it so I have no idea what is going on there.

If you don't have "remember me" checked, the server will log you out after a not terribly long time. This often happens while I'm typing a long post or reply. Then weird things start to happen.

I've gotten into the habit of composing my posts offline, then logging on and cut n' pasting them in.

Ok, I set the idle timeout to 30 minutes and turned off autosaving for the reply box. I think what is happening is that you were taking longer than 15 min to type a post and the board thought you were idle and when it went to autosave your reply it threw an error... but we will just have to test the new setting to see if it fixes it or made it worse.

Probably it. I sometimes pore over my posts and re-write a lot. Might take me half an hour to put three sentences together(and still not be coherent).

NOOOooooooo ....

Love the autosave. Unlike the old board, so far I've never had to retype anything. Versus the old board where I did compose in an editor sometimes to avoid the aggravation.

I also get the server response error occasionally. Since they occur unprovoked I speculate they could be caused by autosave. I just click OK and continue. I have set the 'remember' on login and I've never been thrown out.

I think the autosave is good even if one is thrown out. Drafts (individual to each thread) are remembered for weeks (forever?).

Unless ... autosave is saved in cookies and then would be lost if thrown out (no idea how it works). Saving autosaves to the server does seem wasteful.

Edit/add: If drafts are saved to the server but also purged after an appropriate time interval, then of course, it wouldn't be wasteful (again, don't know how it works).
