What kind of problems are you having? I myself haven't seen any issues embedding YouTube videos.

The embed tags refusing to actually do anything and just showing up in the post text along with the URL.

Are you posting the entire URL or just the part that supposed to be in the tags?

The entire URL. Are you only supposed to post part of it?

Yes. Just the video's little ID number that comes after the "v=" part.

Ah. Not exactly intuitive.

psssst. Have a read of the description for the TF Video Forum.
index.php

The BWII Lio Convoy gallery thumbnails past #24 are screwed up. #25 has #26 as a thumbnail, and every subsequent image has a similarly wrong thumbnail.

This is definitely not going to be the first time someone's pointed this out but whenever I post in a new topic that topic doesn't show up in my 'View your posts' until much later. Is this an actual problem or am I doing something wrong?

What do you define as "much later"?

Like it'll be about a month or more before the topic shows up.

Oh, the unread posts thing for this thread is borked at the moment.

I'm trying to make a post in the WFC Siege thread that has images, a link, and quoted text, but every time I hit submit, I keep getting sent to a 503 Error page.

I just now made a test post in the thread that has no media, only text, and that post went through, but not the one I'm trying to post. I even tried uploading the images to Imgur to avoid hotlinking, but it still keeps taking me to the following message:

503 Service Unavailable
Seibertron.com is currently experiencing technical issues.
Looks like Kremzeek is at it again! This time he took out Seibertron.com's database! Check back soon to see if it's been brought back online or click here to try to return the homepage.

EDIT: And as can be seen above, this post also has a link in it, so we know that's not a problem. Lemme try adding an image.




EDIT2: Okay, that's working too.


EDIT3: Okay, I got it to work. There was an emoticon in the quoted text that this site didn't recognize.

Not so much a problem, but something that's been bugging me a bit.

I look through the news archives quite a bit in search of answers to questions people here may have. However, more often than not I get flooded with sponsor news, even with the "Exclude news from our sponsors" checked. Is it a case of the feature not working properly, or aren't the items properly tagged?

Do you have examples of the keywords you're searching for?

I just did "Jetfire" and "Turtler" and I didn't get any sponsor news.

"Mark topics read" still doesn't do (sounds like Overhaul's Galaxy Force name)

I rolled back some forum modifications I made years ago to see if it will work now. I don't use this feature so I'm having trouble figuring out if it's working, but it looks like all of the deletes, updates and inserts are working correctly with marking the forum topics all read. Can you let me know if it is working for you now? Thanks.

In addition, I think I finally was able to fix the problem with the forum database that was slowing the entire server down. Seibertron.com should be loading super fast for everyone and has been since last Friday.

FYI - The photos for the recent toy sightings are not showing up on the bottom of the main page anymore. The header is there and the links to viewing all the sightings, store locator and sightings forum are still there, but where the 8 most recent toy sighting photos typically appear is blank.

Twice now have I received email notifications regarding new posts made in this thread, a topic I have made zero posts in and have no recollection of ever visiting before now.

It does work now. Sorry for the slow response

Any word yet why the site is continually crashing for the last 24 hours & when it's going to stop?

Automatic server update that ran overnight on Sunday night crashed the server. All is well now!

Thanks bunches for the update (on what has been going on)!
