As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Indiegogo link troubles

Post by TheJohnP »

Whenever I post a url link to Indiegogo it doesn't show up.

Like this example:



However, if I put it the url brackets, it will
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/iruk ... 16205959#/


I believe the link should autopopulate like the Kickstarter ones with a preview graphic.
But noticed it stopped working after the recent switchover.

Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find

Most likely an incompatibility on their end. I can see if there have been any bug reports, though.

MoT,

I looked around but did not see a specific thread. For the past couple of months when I look at the Deals thread, the links people post, myself included, only show up as an Amazon logo image with no ability to see an image of the watch deal they have posted. I'm not Tech savvy but I am using Firefox and Windows10 with everyone's favorite Russian spyware Kaspersky. I have used this set up since your site started and did not have trouble until the last couple months. I assume others here can see the links and images otherwise lots of folks would have been complaining about it. I assume it's my setup. Do you have any idea what would be causing this issue?
Thanks.
