Must be the new software upgrade,
Wow! That chairWent mining. Needed to replenish materials I'd used up for synthesis, recoup costs of FC upkeep from the past few weeks and generally add to the coffers of greed.
I've also - finally - got all systems running in my new cockpit. I'd struggled with cabling lengths and screen positioning but it fees comfy now:
I'm taking the FC back to the bubble and using the DBX to follow along, exploring as I go. I've just found a system with 70 bodies, which I think is a record for me. Mostly low value Rocky Bodies.
I'd post a pic, but the forum's Snafu.

I tried F-u-b-a-r earlier but the anti-whatever software deleted it. I do have a question for you salty veterans, we've all heard the lore about the thousands of megaships that have been sent out and pretty much disappeared. Say I enter an unexplored system with a single star with a couple of asteroid fields and my ship say "System scan complete" after honking it, meaning there's nothing more.
In such a case I would swing away from the star to move around it, line up with my next jump vector and spin up the frame shift drive and leave the system. But what if there was a megaship in one of those asteroid fields, how would I have known it was there without using the FSS scanner? Would something like "Human signal detected" pop up on my canopy because I honked the system?

I think you’d at least have to glance at the FSS signal readout to see if anything interesting is there.
That's what I was thinking also, it's no wonder more of these ships haven't been discovered.
The megaships with jump drives or their remains should be in some system or another and so findable eventually.
The older ones like the Golconda before it’s recent refit didn’t have any form of jump drive and travelled in normal space between the systems, as the volume of space between systems is much bigger than the volume in a system that we can reach it is likely that many of those ships are between systems where we can’t find them.
They use the same forum software that I use on my site: Xenforo.
It's not a software update that did it. The last Xenforo update took place a couple months ago. They intentionally set it that way. They probably just don't like the amount of space the images are taking up and the size it's making the database because they're clueless on how to use the built in pruning feature to mitigate that.
What's going on with some members avatars? I noticed there messed up and missing, still can't post pictures either.
I noticed that some members avatars are missing when they made a post thinking that their switching hosts or being migrated to different drives as the current ones might be reaching their MTBF. I know those hosting companies go through a lot of drives. Anyway, pure speculation at best.
Thargoids are attacking in large numbers, apparently. I've never been much interested in Thargoid combat.
"Boss Fights," where you have to learn the complex patterns of the boss in order to defeat it, are not something I have enjoyed in any game. But there are a lot of people who do like that sort of thing, witness Elden Ring, for example.
Are any of you guys into this? I'm just watching it all unfold from the sidelines.

GALNET - 08 JUL 3308 - THARGOIDS LAUNCH ATTACK IN HIP 22460
GALNET THARGOIDS LAUNCH ATTACK IN HIP 22460 08 JUL 3308 Pilots’ Federation ALERT The HIP 22460 system has been invaded by large numbers of Thargoid vessels, with several multi-craft conflicts already reported. An alert was broadcast by Commodore Morag Halloran, military coordinator for Azimuth...
They simply set a limit on the size. If they're too big, they're gone. You can set limits for everything: amount of text, avatar size and type, attachment size and type, video...
Anything you can think of you can limit. It's clear that's what they've done. It's what the software is designed to do.
Take a video of it if you can, I'm still 20,000Ly away which is how I like it at this point. I'd like to see one of those Farragut Class battlecruisers go up against a Thargoid swarm or maybe see Salvations weapon in action.Thargoids are attacking in large numbers, apparently.

I said something about it in a different section and Sally said they were aware of the problem.
The only other thing that can make images/avatars "disappear" is if they restored a database that was not recently saved. Example: they save the database to get ready for the move, then somebody changes their avatar, then they make the move, then restore the saved database. That would make the avatar vanish because it would be looking for an older image that no longer exists.
But that still wouldn't affect attaching an image or pasting an image. The only thing that can do that is they either reduced the limits in Xenforo to a draconian number or they moved to a server that has a different php upload limit and they didn't increase it.
The easy way to tell which it is is to simply look at the set limits.
There used to be limit of 1MB on the size. I wonder if they changed it? I can't upload even small images, now, though. I just tried a 68k one, no go.
Meanwhile, my alt found a G3 Intimidator (shotgun) and a G3 Artemis suit today. He's got almost all G3 stuff already, just missing a Tormentor pistol and the Executioner sniper rifle, and I've only spent a short time looking. I'll do some more looking tomorrow.
Here's my alt at the bar, pondering his life choices. He was my first account actually, and his holo-me looks more like the real me than my others If I could add a paunch it would be better.
In the olden days we had to use Imgur or other external site to upload images, because these forums did not allow it. So I'm gonna try that now:
Seems to still work.
My imgur account is full of ED images from 6 years ago, haha. Haven't used it in a while.
This was my very first taxi vehicle, back when I needed such a thing. I painted it yellow, of course.

They may well have simply turned off uploads altogether. That's why you can link things but not attach them.
Seems so. I was able to link in images in my last post, just before your post, via Imgur, like we did in the old days when pics could not be uploaded here. Maybe we're returning to that.
Well, if they go that route and it's permanent we could always start a screen shot thread at my place.
