    You can chalk this one up to crazy work IE11 shenaigans, but thought i'd share it, incase its a easy fix/issue for others...

    :blush:Thanks. Honestly means a lot.

    Oh god no, super zoomed out, so could fit the different image weirdness I was seeing in a single screenshot :grin:
    Yes, I know, IE11 + work proxies + incompetent outsourced IT department = probable source/cause but hey don't want you having nothing to do :naughty:

    IT's funny you mention your IT department this seems to be 100% on us actually as it happens to me at home. :duh:

    That's one thing I can't see happening anytime soon :happy:
    I'm looking into the issue now but any fix I make probably won't go live today as I mainly work onm the forum and 2 of the people that can apply the fix to the site are on holiday :blah:

    Its not overly breaking anything, so no rush required :)
    Would be nice to have captions/descriptions for the screenshots/pics too...

    Already fixed on my end just waiting for it to be applied to the server ;) It was just IE doing IE things different to every other browser.

    This might actually be a work in progress if i remember correctly.

    Are gif uploads either blocked or not working? I tried a few yesterday and got an error message.

    No, for use in a post. I was trying to upload either directly to a post (using the upload button that seems to be available intermittently) or to a personal album. Neither worked. Both went through 0-100% uploaded and then threw up and error.

    It's currently locked to certain parts of the forums while we evaluate the effect of it. Would rather be safe than tons of image suddenly being uploaded.
    Now this I'm interested in. Any chance you can upload and of the gifs you were trying to upload so i can have a look. Can't remember from the top of my head if it's some setting I've maybe over tuned or intentional. Also anf other info on the image would help. Also browser and OS? Please for the love of all that is holy don't say IE...

    What's wrong with Internet Explorer 9 :oldconfused:...

    Nah, Firefox, Windows 10 :thumb:

    I was trying to upload a gif of Tacoma Narrows Bridge (for reasons :happy:) using this page:
    https://forums.bit-tech.net/index.php?media/add&album=true
    ...and none of the following files worked:
    ...giving this error after completing the progress bar:
    The same happened when clicking the "upload file" button on a post.

    As far as I can tell they're all pretty unexceptional and reasonably small sized gifs. JPEGs work fine.

    When I enter a thread its always on the first page, how can I set it so that its on the last? EG when I go into latest purchases its on page 1 which was started on 2007 :(

    Thanks MLyons, I have to always click the highest number. If that's just how it is then no worries :thumb:

    Im not sure if it has been mentioned, but with Chrome on Android, there's a slight issue with the editing of a post. The save changes button doesn't appear unless you tap in the rough area it should be. No biggie, but I thought I'd point it out. :)

    Seeing looooooong (90sec-ish) delays fetching icons.css from file.myfontastic.com when loading the front page of the site. (FF 54.0 on Ubuntu 17.10)
