Image previews not loading correctly
« on: February 17, 2025, 02:27:46 AM »
Am I the only one having this problem?
In most posts some of the preview pictures don't load.

  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]  

Clicking on the link shows the image, though, also slideshow mode shows them without problems.
So the original attachments are fine, only the preview images look to be faulty.

First I thought there could be a DB error due to the sitecrash last time, but it's also on new posts.

Also it's not permanent, reloading the page often shows the previews again.

DevTools gives me
Code: [Select]
Request URL:
https://www.viperpits.org/smf/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=29.0;attach=80571;image
Request Method:
GET
Status Code:
503 Service Unavailable
Remote Address:
213.109.149.96:443
Referrer Policy:
strict-origin-when-cross-origin

And that's how the working preview above looks like:
Code: [Select]
Request URL:
https://www.viperpits.org/smf/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=29.0;attach=80579;image
Request Method:
GET
Status Code:
200 OK
Remote Address:
213.109.149.96:443
Referrer Policy:
strict-origin-when-cross-origin

So same IP address, not sure why one would load and the others won't.

Depending on the browser it could be no issue (I'm on Brave, so it's quite restricted).

I had the same with Firefox. Happens only occasionally.

Also I have got a 503 error message several times in the last few days. Pressing F5 to reload usually loads the page without problems. So I guess it has to do with server connection and load of server.

Same here, on an Opera browser. I guess you can call the problem "universal"? LOL
