I also faced difficulties in reaching the forum yesterday...


Morevover I'm having problems in uploading a new avatar...
Saru
The whole site was effectively unreacheable for most of yesterday. Although the site itself was actually working perfectly, there was a domain name server routing problem, which prevented anyone from actually reaching the site via 'unexplained-mysteries.com'.

Fortunately the problem has now been resolved. original.gif

Ronin - make sure the avatar isn't too large, it has to be under 20k in size otherwise the forum won't allow you to upload it.

Well if it hadn't been for the chat I had with Celti yesterday, my computer would almost certainly be dead or at least severly maimed. grin2.gif
When you've made time to spend on the forum, then find you can't get there, it's like torture w00t.gif < me this morning laugh.gif

I checked this the files that I wanted to upload are under 20k...

It just says : "The upload failed. Please contact a member of staff to help rectify the problem "
Saru
Looks like the access permissions on the uploads directory were set wrong.

That should be it fixed now, have a go at uploading your avatar again and see if you still get the same error message.
Ronin6th
Sorry to give you work Saruman... sad.gif
Saru
It's ok Ronin, it's good thing you pointed this out because it would have prevented anyone from uploading any images to the forum until it was fixed.

It's not a big job anyway, only took me a few seconds to change the access permissions to what they should be.
