Images have started to break once again. Just prior to this occurring, images struggled to upload. (I had to refresh multiple times to attempt to upload some IG photos to one profile, because the server kept having trouble uploading the files.)

There remains an issue with uploading larger files up to the 20MB limit. Uploading larger files such as GIFs, for example, has frequently been slow for weeks, and often triggers a Cloudflare error seen below:

Thumbnails and profile pics are broken again. It’s likely a patch of some kind is needed to prevent future occurrences of this issue, if not a total site modernization.

Possibly related to the Cloudflare outage earlier, upload speeds are slow at the current time when attempting to upload files (e.g., GIFs) up to the 20 MB limit, triggering an error message when the file tries to finish loading onto a page.

Thumbnails and profile pics are broken again site-wide.

Good day, Tom. Could you please delete content that I reported and fix other problems that I mentioned in my messages (the Listal Mail messaging system) to you?

www.listal.com/art/the-pale-blue-dot — what do you think about this photo of the Earth? When I'm logged out, the page shows "Link removed - login to see" instead of the link. Could you please fix this problem?

Given the various performance issues with Listal in the past couple years (image templates breaking, slowdowns, difficulties uploading images, etc.), I think looking at the possiblity of replacing/upgrading the servers or even making upgrades to the UI to help improve the site’s performance should be considered.

Images don't show up when you click on them, broken thumbnails... Please fix it as soon as possible

Re: the broken images. Following last night’s outage, all image links on the site are now broken; they’re only visible as thumbnails on their corresponding “pictures and photos” pages, but accessing each image displays the broken image icons, even for older images now.

Hi Tom,
I’m among those having issues with broken thumbnails showing up after uploading images. Some upload correctly, while others upload with the broken thumbnails (the images are viewable in the corresponding links, but I had to delete the ones that show the placeholder avatar instead of the thumbnail).

I had an instance before where I deleted and reuploaded images on another page before (in that case, to change the image order based on their upload date from the Instagram account I downloaded them from) and it got mismarked as an adult page due to too many deletions, preventing me from upload further, so I’m concerned about that happening on the page I’m uploading on because of the thumbnail issue.

Hey Tom. I understand you are already trying to fix the image upload issue.
But here is the thing.
No profile picture, banner or just a picture of an item show up when you upload it works.
Maybe the website is "working" again. The images though...

Greetings.

Hi, Tom, how ya doing? I sent you a message a few months back. If you could read and respond to it, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance! :)

Thank you Tom for the vote. Best regards.

Hi Tom. I've sent you a couple of private messages. Hope you read them soon. Got a problem that needs a fix.

Posted: 2 years, 1 month ago at Oct 19 19:32

Hi Tom. Same problem of Stehako here. I can´t use URLs in PC nor mobile phone to add items. I hope you of whoever still manages this site fixed it. Having the possibility to add every item you can imagine to a database is one the things that keeps me lurking,updating and listing my Listal.

Posted: 2 years, 1 month ago at Oct 18 9:37

Hi Tom, I tried sending you direct message, but it takes me to a blank page. And that blank page is related to several issues going on with the web site, as I'm sure you're aware of some. If you're not aware of all of them, blank pages to message, lists, and other pages are just blank, no message at all.
The other main issues can be seen under the Listal Feedback forum titled "Whoops!". The biggest concern is adding items. The link just shows up and people are unable to add an item, like an album, movie, or book.
I gave it a couple of days, but want to make sure we aren't losing users because of this! Thanks! - Stephen
