All is fixed. This got uploaded on Saturday when I was making changes to the download section and got put into a category that is the parent for the terrains sub category which wasn't supposed to be uploadable to and downloadable from. So once uploaded there I changed the options for the parent which in effect locked the file into an area which can't be downloaded from. I moved this to it's correct sub category which you can download from and all is fixed. Sorry it took me so long to realize what the heck was going on. At least now if we find others that got locked out we'll know where to start looking first. Erik

I did some reading over at the Knowledge Base (Yes I read the KB before I ask questions) on Invision's site about referrer header problems, internet explorer, and one of our anti-leach settings for the download section. I made the changes they suggested and just need someone to test it out. Can we get someone with IE6 and IE7 to test it out? It's working here, but then again it always was and I've tested it with Opera, Firefox 3.0, Netscape, MSN Explorer, AOL Explorer, IE6, IE7. The wonders of the internet will never cease to amaze me. Erik

what? How does that have anything to do with downloading and how did you come up with that solution to the problem?

Are you trying to open multiple downloads at the same time? Example: downloading the snowy terrain and maybe an aircraft at the same time? Let me know. E

Yeah. I think you hit the "simultaneous" download cap. To prevent those download accelerator programs from crashing the site "Remember those horrible database error messages?" I had to cap the max number of connections one person could make to the server. So in this case the download section was working correctly. Whew what a change of pace huh? E

Alright fair enough. Can you tell me what you were trying to download?

All is fixed. Please report any problems uploading or downloading files here. Thanks.

Keep up to date about the progress here: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=29094 Thanks for letting us know about the issue. Erik

FC nailed it. Keep up to date about the problem in this thread: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=29094

I see the problem and it's going to take some time to fix. I'll update this thread when I have everything working again. The good news is the A6 category is back online. Erik

the email change if it was validated would prevent you from posting on the boards and downloading anything so I'd say the email change has nothing to do with it. there might be a problem with the categories you're downloading from so if you can narrow something down i can look at specifically that would be great. Erik

which categories?

http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;req=ucp_files My Controls > "Download Manager" Manage Files is where the above link should take you. Once there you can click on the file you want to edit. It should take you to the actual file page. Look on the lower right section of that page and you'll see options one of which is "edit file". This basically takes you back to the upload page and allows you to re-upload (read: update or change) the file, description, screen shot, etc. This should be available to anyone, unless something changed. The delete files option which Dave is talking is no longer available but edit should still work. Erik

Dang that's some serious business there and all that while wearing a saddle. I say hunter and photographer should saddle the dogs and give the mule the riffle.

use the volume control on the video window or turn your speakers down

Why do I find these posts so funny? I had to suspend CA's ability to serve web pages yesterday to get a security patch into PHP. We were down maybe a minute two at the most and even that got noticed. You guys have to remember that web servers are just machines with software on them and yes they require attention too. If you want something to brag about how about our server uptime for CA. Uptime is total elapsed time without a reboot on our machine: [root@combatace ~]# uptime 19:15:11 up 394 days, 47 min, 1 user, load average: 2.38, 2.54, 2.45 Don't try this at home. I say kudos to Don keeping things up and running and serving all those terrific mods over there at C5. Sometimes it's okay to let us know just how much you love us. :: CLICK HERE ::

Have you tried using the admin tools or recovery tools built into windows? A lot of times log dumps can help you find the problem. Might try googling for setting up DrWatson or Setting up Error Log Dumps for your OS.

Or better yet. Use our gallery to post your images. Posting images in the gallery doesn't eat up your attachment space. Sweet huh? To post your images in our gallery: > Click on "My Controls" located on the top right of the navigation bar above. > Scroll down left hand menu area until you see "Invision Gallery" > Click on "My Albums" under that heading. >> If you have an album already created then click on that album and add more images to your album -or- >> If no album exists you can >> Click "Create Album" and follow the instructions to make a new album of your own. Create a new album for your images to go into. (You can have multiple albums to organize your images into if you like.) :: CLICK HERE - LINK TO YOUR GALLERY ALBUM AREA - SHOULD WORK IF NOT FOLLOW THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS :: Click "Create Album" if no album exists. -or- Go to the gallery by clicking the "Gallery" Link on the very top menu bar above. You can insert images into most of the galleries there. Exeptions being the "Member Albums Gallery" (That's where your personal albums you can create above appear) and the staff galleries (That's where we place images we want to use for things like the calendars.) :: CLICK HERE - TO GO TO THE MEMBER GALLERY TO ADD IMAGES :: >> Click on the Gallery name and you'll see at the top right some buttons to add image, bulk import, or add media. - New Image Button = (Single image upload) - Bulk Import Button = (Multiple image upload) - New Media Button = (Movies and Media upload) - Slide Show Button = (Watch the images in the gallery in a slide slow - not for uploading) >>>> When you're done uploading your images you can view the image from the gallery you want to use in your post. On the right side of the image you'll see all the links you can use to share your images or link to them in your posts. Basically there are many options for storing all the things you want to share with the community. Let me know if you have any questions. Once you start using all the cool options here I think you'll find they really are pretty cool. :) Erik

Well it's there for a reason ... let's figure 8.00MB per person registered to the site and you'll see just how big our HDDs would have to be. Basically the system is telling you have uploaded your max amount. To fix this: > Click "My Controls" above in the top navigation bar. > Scroll down the left menu of the page displayed until you see "Options" > Click "Manage Your Attachements" ::CLICK HERE - THIS LINK SHOULD WORK FOR EVERYONE BUT IF NOT FOLLOW THE ABOVE DIRECTION :: On the page that displays I recommend going to your oldest files and delete them from the system to free up personal space. Let me know how that works for you. Erik

In the attachment section when you reply or create a topic it should tell you something like this. "Attachment space used 4.20MB of 5.00MB" What does yours say? Erik

I feel your pain with pleasing people. I failed the community horribly at keeping the modding team together. For that I apologize. In the end there was nothing that could have prevented the departure. It's a sad reality that I quite frankly am embarassed about, but as you said, "Big Deal." Thanks for the updates to your files, they are greatly appreciated and well received. You rock!

HAHAHAHA - So I don't confuse myself then. You're done with the "pointy end toward front of aircraft and how to race the bomb lift trucks" training (2W131) which I ASSUMED he'll continue training in unless he cross trained out or his field specialty didn't require it. What I was wondering is if there were plans in training for nuclear munitions? You know down the road, future, sorta of what's your plans kind of thing? I'll keep it simple next time (for my sake). 'doh E

Congrats on your 2W131 award. Planning on training for your 2W231?
