Civfanatics.net down

[Plexus]

I can't upload or see any of my uploaded files.

Hmmm, maybe the reason that I couldn't see the picture wyrm posted isn't because I am on a mac.

Just wondering: How come when the server is down we can still see our avatars?

 

[Goober]

Yes, I am noticing this also, no Images, aside from Avatars, seem to load. This is just annoying, but I can live with that . . .

Unfortunately, smilies still load . . .

Whew, it's not just me. I thought my modem was going haywire...

Because they are stored in the forum software AFAIK, when you give a link to it, they are not loaded from civfanatics.net (or any other URL) after that.

Huh. I was always under the impression that they were stored in the server.

Yes, the server, but the forum server, not the files server, I guess.



Not sure though, this is only what I think it is like.

And there's the text

You can enter an URL of your avatar:
Note: this will be stored locally on the server

In the area where you can change to a custom avatar.
