We have a problem with our static content http server, which serves images. We will fix this as soon as possible.
I installed a text skin which is temporarely in use for everybody.

Edit: ***FIXED***

Hmm, loads a lot slower without the images actually

Menno

that's normal as it has to wait for every connection to the image to time-out. long messages with lotsf smilies are a real pain ;-).

thttpd or something else? (just courios)

http://packages.debian.org/unstable/web/thttpd.html

I see Menno's avatar!

It's the only one i've seen so far

(yes browser's cache is empty and no proxy)

it's on audiocoding.com

regards; ilikedirt

Yeah... yours on lycos.

I've disabled this feature in my ipb

You'll only see avatars that are loading from sites other than HA. Avatars uploaded directly to HA (like mine) will be out of order until their image server is fixed.

Avatar? Fixed mine.

Edit: oops, now i don't see it.

Yes, thttpd

I disabled all avatars for now. I also added a text skin which should be temporarely in use with everybody.

Things should be back to normal now. Not quite sure why the server died, but I'll keep a close eye on it today. Unfortunately things seemed to have blown up as soon as I decided to go to sleep.. heh.

That's the sixth Murphy's law.

If you're still having problems viewing images, the following worked for me:

at a command prompt
ipconfig /flushdns

I think this applies to windows 2000 and up - haven't actually investigated why a dns flush suddenly made all images appear a lot quicker, but there you go...
