NASASpaceflight.com and NSF Forum Bug Reports

profile ... was showing UTC as the current time,

profile is showing my local time as UTC.

What is your time offset set to?

It was set to 0, which I'm guessing is the default. Hitting the "auto-detect" button set it to the correct value (-4) and fixed the local time shown in my profile. It doesn't look like it will correct for daylight savings time automatically so maybe we all need to adjust this forum setting twice per year?

Hello,
I get a "Database Error" when trying to add a new entry into my "Ignore list". The error tells me to report this to an administrator, so I report it here because I don't see any "report to administrator" button.

Attached is a screenshot of the error.

More and more often this is all I see when going to the NSF home page.

Issue with attached images?

Since today, some attached images are not being displayed. I noticed this first when I tried to attach an image to my own post this morning:

https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=9476.msg2636660

I tried several uploads, thinking my image was the problem (I went from JPEG with alpha channel to PNG without alpha channel). But then I found another example:
https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=51661.msg2635729

I can click on the image name, but the download is a 0-byte file.

In both examples you provided, the images are embedded rather than attached. Please go back to the post and delete the embedded picture. After that, attach them instead. to do so, use the "Modify" button above and to the right of your post to access the post editor. You will find the attachment area just below your written post. Remember, always attach pictures instead of embedding them.

Your attachment is now a .jpg, but there is something incorrect in the format. It is not even supported on my PC when downloading. Use a picture editor like Paint and save it as a .png, then try again.

No. I specifically used the Attach function to create both my post in the Voyager thread and my post in this thread.

When I download the picture, it can not be edited even on PC Paint or other editors. It is unsupported. Try saving it in PNG instead.

In both pictures, the size of the attachment is Zero

So I forced open one of the two files and this is what I get in Pc-Paint

Yes, that is what I already specified in my original post. I'm saying attaching images is *not working* for me, and apparently not for at least one other poster.

Again, I already specified in my original post that I tried several (5) different uploads, starting with a JPEG with Alpha channel, then a PNG with alpha channel, then a smaller PNG and then a PNG without Alpha channel.

And here is what I found with your pictures files (as attachments in this post to verify that the attachments feature is working), including a force open of the file in Paint (a blank picture).

It's working now, I was just able to attach a picture of the Zefiro 40 nozzle.

[Hobbes-22]

Attaching the same image again to test. Now it works.

[catdlr]

Attaching the same image again to test. Now it works.

And I, too, successfully viewed it and downloaded it to Paint to view. Forum picture storage didn't work well this morning. I'm glad you found success.

Now, let's go back to finding out what happened to Voyager.  I'm interested, too.

I was cleaning my computer of excess temporary files including internet cookies, which logs me out of sites I have accounts on (including NSF); but when I signed back in, the X post section on the right side of the screen shows stuff that dates back to 2020 and 2022 (such as the Booster 7 RUD and the SN5 test hop).

How can I change the X post section on my end to show the most recent posts again?

AFAIU the problem is known and is on NSF's/Simple Machines end. Others have previously posted about it.
