  • The issue with logging in with email addresses has been resolved.
  • Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.

Images Borked

Yup. Resolved pretty quickly though.
Yeah, weird.
Managed to find a workaround. After doing some "research", found the same image on Rule34. Worked without issues.

I'm not sure what's up with Imgchest, but they're no business of mine. Hope this helps!
That sounds like the problem I had a while back with poatimages.

Most people here use imagechest I think, if the proxy auto retires downloading queued stuff or if everyone is posting images that might hit the hosting site hard enough to trigger some rate limit.

It does seem that the proxying is taking a hot second, not immediately working but instead taking a minute or two to grab it.
Wondering if it's just image cache still playing "catch up" like the emails or if there's still something funky still.


How the hell did your DNS resolution break?
Stub resolver acting up?
Messed up resolv.conf
resolv.conf issues with a program that had made a change to it on startup when the server restarted after crash on Tuesday.

question did anyone get a 502 bad gateway?like 5 min ago
There was a brief load spike. Possibly related to sending backlogged emails.
 
The collected bugs were all DNS related.
QQ proxies and caches the images with the tag whenever it can- however, when DNS for the server isn't working, it can't reach out to the URL provided to grab the pic.
Same with sending email- can't find the email domain, can't send.
As to why logging in with email and password changes were broken, apparently XF checks the email domain during authentication before it even checks its own user list.

Remember, kids!

Once again, I am content in my retirement.

Catch up and probably rate limiting, IMHO, hopefully not of the type where you get progressively larger blocking.
Exponential back off is a bitch.

Oh I've had those problems on desktop.
When some systemd crap or the Network manager wants to force me to use systemd-resolvd.
chattr +i, srub resolver service masking and setting Network manager to stop touching resolv.conf usually fixes it. :)

Sounds like whatever is actually running the PHP behind the nginx didn't last/couldn't respond.
Yeah, probably load.

Trying to repair the broken images that I posted during the crash. So far, no luck...
 
I see a cute blonde girl and a noise marine trolling a space nun.
Either the proxy caught up or I never had any bad placeholder images cached.
 
Weirdly, I see the troll marine but not the cute blonde. So, some images are working, but not all...
 
Testing

It's imgchest, so it's 50/50 on whether it works...

EDIT: no good. Might be the image itself, or the site. Please wait.

EDIT2: Testing again

4z9cv82pgx7.jpg

EDIT3: Different file type?

Edit bleh: Final test, using a different image host for your image.

dc15b03c-085b-40c0-a60a-97e375766d03

FINAL EDIT: I'm pretty sure it's because it's a bad link? Or maybe the image isn't on imgchest anymore?

Everything else seems to be working fine, so *shrug*

The site trying to grab all the images from imgchest after the DNS issue was fixed probably freaked out some kind of DDOS protection on there. Given past instances of issues like this with other sites the images should fix themselves sometime within the next 4-12 hours.

Alright, it must be a cache issue, because I can see your pictures on my phone but not on my computer.
 
Some images from danbooru and reddit still remain broken. See?

Anyone here can tell me why?

It's weird! I never encountered broken images before especially ones from Reddit!

😫❔

I posted the "reddit" images before on another thread when I saw that people can post images again.

That's where I found and discover the problem.

Funny enough, the image on "reddit 2" was posted on another subreddit and I was able post that other image here with no problems! I don't get it...

😵‍💫

Finally managed to get the Image working from DeviantArt... How the fuck that makes sense I wouldn't know as it fought tooth and nail against that one before:

Reddit 2 but from a different reddit is a different image as far as QQ is concerned, so was retrieved into the cache on its own rather than attempting to load the already "existing" broken entry assigned to the original.

Sounds like the proxy cache might also be breaking for some images and not retrying/detecting a fault.
Or maybe it skips after n failures and doesn't retry.
Dunno, doesn't affect me.
 


Does it work now?
EDIT: IT DOES! IMAGES ARE BACK!!

Although... I wanna test something too.

Does Imgur work now?
Nope. IMGUR still blocked, but it shows up during editing.
EDIT 2: If imgur images shows up in the editor, does it mean that the imgur block was not by design?
EDIT 3: Try replying to this post with the second image and see if you can see it in the editor or not

Yeah, disabling my script makes them no longer visible.

Somebody might have to find whichever table holds the proxy cache metadata and remove everything misfetched I think.

Between query sould work IMHO, assuming the proxy uses the MySQL database.
