• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Bear with me as I'm new here.
My stepdad passed away and I'm clearing out his garage for my mom. This is the first big ticket item I have of his to sell (I'd like to ensure the other items work first).
I'm located just south of Edmonton. But I'll be driving from Edmonton to Medicine Hat on a semi-regular basis to clear the garage, so delivery on that route is not out of the question.
I'm a machinist as well, so I should be able to answer some questions.
Grinder does spin nicely both ways. Runs off 110V. Doesn't have the tool rests. But he did make a wheel dresser to slide across the tables.
Asking $1000.

This is an ongoing challenge for many members. The images system has been messed up for quite some time on the forum with no sign of hope for the future.

The best way to improve the situation. Is for the poster to select thumbnail when uploading a photo.

Is this forum self hosted or provided by a third party? I'm wondering if it's a software issue or config/setup related. I see it's a payfor platform so if it's a bug, they should fix it. :)

It's a VERY LONG Story. Here is the short version. Several of us maintain websites and other forums. The difference is that they are all either small or require membership fees. This is the only free forum of its size that I know of. Our only source of revenue is premium memberships and a little bit of Amazon patronage. We do not want to Ram advertising down our member's throats and therefore don't generate advertising revenue.

We started as a small forum supporting a small Calgary user base. We purchased a self hosted license for Xenforo. We used to self host on a private company server that donated space to us. That company's other client server needs grew rapidly and soon overpowered our own needs and rightfully prioritized other paying needs. The server crashed a while back and a decision was made to buy a hosting service instead and move us off of a donated service to a paid hosting service self funded by premium memberships. We restored a backup to the new hosting company. But they DID NOT LIKE how big our image storage was cuz it took up too much space on their server. They bought and installed an add-on to compress the images and it all went to hell from there. They kept dragging their feet saying they would fix it, but never did. We have resigned ourselves to the fact that they never will. We are trying to develop alternatives but fundamentally we think hosting on the Xenforo Software Servers is a better all around solution. Unfortunately, that costs money we don't have right now.

In summary, it's not a Xenforo bug. It's a server support problem and perhaps a server expertise problem. We are living with it until we can develop a satisfactory affordable alternative.

For now, the best solution we have been able to develop is to use the display as thumbnail option. It seems to be the most reliable.

Thanks for the info. I'd love to help, but it doesn't sound like something I could assist in solving, short of a membership I guess :)

If you want to share some storage and transfer stats over pm, I can see if there's anything I might be able to suggest or help with. I did have a look at what the network panel shows on images that don't load and it appears it's related to http2 response errors, but only in chrome. Which points to a misconfigured response header coming back, likely due to whatever they added to compress the images.
