Johnt671 Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 I'm trying to post a picture in the What Did You Get Today section but I keep getting the 404 message.
Xingu Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 It never actually went away. We are hoping that the software upgrade fixes it. Dave just has to free up the time to try it again, it didn't take on the first try.

David G. Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 I'v been having trouble with this error since Friday Morning. Does anybody have any work-around tips? David G.
peteski Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 As weird as it sounds, it might be combination of words or letters in the text of your post. At least that is what I found out when I had this problem.
David G. Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 That's interesting. Hard to imagine but interesting. I'll try a test. Thanks for the reply. David G.
peteski Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 Weird! I could have sworn that in my last reply I posted a link to my other post which proves that certain word combinations cause the 404 error, but the link is not there! Anyway, if you want to learn more about the weird 404 error behavior, read the post linked to below and several following posts.
OldNYJim Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 I got it tonight, and split the exact same post into two parts and it worked ?♂️?
Phildaupho Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) Started getting ERROR 404 yesterday replying to Under Glass post. Both Microsoft laptops affected but not iPhone. Let's see if this post works. This obviously worked. Weird !! ?? Tried doing the Under Glass post again. The previous unsent reply was no longer there so things were longing good but got 404 ERROR again Edited August 6, 2019 by Phildaupho
afx Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 Not able to post on threads, getting the 404 error.
Snake45 Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 I had it too, finally got something to post after several tries.
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 I've been trying to post a single photo copied from this site with NO TEXT for two days, on the General thread "what makes you say cool" or whatever.
Tom Geiger Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 I hadn’t been plagued with this in the past but had two posts with photos give me this error this morning. i recently saw another phenomena. I was always able to copy a photo from Fotki and paste it into a post. When I do that now I see the photo like normal but others said my post had no photos, just odd code where they should’ve been. Then when investigating I opened my post and saw those photos were in my post but not in the photo upload tray below. So now I copy Fotki photos to my Irfanview in my laptop and then copy them to the post. That seems to fix it. I’m working on a Windows 10 laptop with Chrome browser
Dave Ambrose Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 We finally fixed an underlying server problem last night. It might change the behavior. If you encounter a problem, please record the date, time, and your timezone and send them to me.
Bucky Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 The problem I'm having with the 404 Error thing is when I try to send a message to someone. I've tried two different members, only to have the '404 Error' pop up.
bobthehobbyguy Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 Test to see if picture copied from forum will post.
mrmike Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 Even I can't post any pictures to my thread. Can somebody fix the glitch in this system, please!

Snake45 Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 I just now had a 404 error replying to a post in the Lounge. I went back and tried it again, this time deleting my normal winky smileycon, and it posted just fine. Yesterday or the day before, had the same thing happen--a message refused to post several times until I deleted the smiley, and then no problem at all.
Dave Ambrose Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 In my quest to fix the original 404 problem, I had our hosting company fix a problem with the server software. That brought a bunch of security rules online, and we keep tripping over some of them. I've fixed what I think are the most troublesome ones. Please either post here or send me a PM if you encounter the problem again. Thanks, Dave
peteski Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) Interesting. I started having the 404 error while trying to post last night, and even got locked out of the website for few hours couple of times. That was when all I was posting was the word "test". This whole computer world is getting way too complicated. Bring back the old-school BBSs! Text only baby - no viruses or malicious code. EDIT: this is the text which I thought caused the 404 errors: Then there is "stellar". There is also "stellar". 2nd EDIT: Um, it works tonight - so whatever was being done last night was causing my problem - not the above sentences. Good! Edited October 30, 2019 by peteski

Expand 10:17 AM, EST. Thread about "tubing notching". Photo from this site, uploaded by me from my own files on another thread, failed to copy, hung indefinitely, could not cancel the photo copy, and could not complete the post. Though the photo was uploaded as a jpg, the box indicated the "hung" copy was a png (and I have no idea if that's significant). Edited October 30, 2019 by Ace-Garageguy
Casey Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 The most recent fixed cured the 404 error I was getting, too, when trying to create a new post on the Car Reviews section.
Tom Geiger Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 Yea! That works! Thanks Dave! The post I couldn't get the pictures posted on last night works today also! Same post that was saved by the site.
bogger44 Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) Just a test, tried multiple times yesterday with no luck. Edit, seems to work good again. Thanks Dave! Edited October 30, 2019 by bogger44
