• 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!

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.

I'm sorry @Susquatch the image you uploaded above, (by thumbnail?), does not work for me on Safari - however it works on FireFox!

Same issue with his attachment.

Keep in mind that Edge, Chrome, Brave, Opera, etc. are all Chromium (I think they're calling it Blink? now) based. Safari is WebKit based which is what Chromium forked off of long ago. And FireFox has its own Gecko engine. This is why you'll see different behaviour in each browser, likely due to support of various protcols. FireFox being the further behind of the group in terms of updates to latest standards, so it's probably not using that QUIC or HTTP/2 stuff. I don't have FireFox installed on this machine, but maybe I'll check it out in that browser when I have time to see the difference in the requests.

I also just tried on another XenForo forum I'm on (they have a test section I could play with) and it works fine in same browser, in another tab at the same time even. Same sort of upload and attachment, uses lightbox as well...request headers and such look very similar, pathing looks identical, file naming looks the same...just everything checks out. Hence leading me to believe server side is denying it somehow.

Can I ask where/how this is hosted? I seem to remember someone along the way saying something about this is hosted on something they had access to anyway...not just your normal public hosting provider? Wondering if it could be something in the network path that's interrupting the request, especially given the 200 back from the server.
