No images showing

[VWatchie]

Someone just made me aware that no images are showing in my post (

). Could someone with the proper permissions check this? I believe the images are ones I uploaded to the site, but they could also be ones I shared from my OneDrive, which had an issue some time ago.

The site appears to be on the glitch in general.

Edit

Looking at it now I'd say due to the age of the post they've been dumped from the server.

Yes, I've noticed that the response times are getting slower and are more frequent than they used to be. Perhaps the site is running out of space? Maybe some maintenance and/or more space is required. I'm sure we'd all be happy to contribute if there's a cost. @Mark, Please let us know if there's something we can do! After all, your site has become our second home

You are hopeful H !  Its now nearly 7 months since Mark visited.  That day is looming , we all know it.  I read that walk-through of yours when I joined, you put a hell of a lot of effort into that.

What a coincidence, I was very bummed to find that thread absent of photos just yesterday! I am servicing a Hamilton 694A and it would have been a great resource. 

Edit: I would be willing to pitch in to recover archived data here. I dont contribute much as I don't have the experience but I read through old threads all day at work prepping for the evenings project. 

 

This is what the corner of my monitor looks like all day

It would appear this is the shape of things to come as Mark either isn't responding
to requests to expand storage or isn't willing to invest the additional costs.

Not sure it would make a difference but if you're quoting someone in a response and they've
got photos then it's possibly a good idea to delete the photos from the quote to save space.

I would be surprised if the image file is copied when quoted. It's more likely just a link to the existing image, but good thought nevertheless.

Such a shame!

If this site shuts down, countless hours of shared insights will be lost, along with the best resource for help and learning.

Thats one reason I don't quote so much now,I often just reply to the thread and hope someone figures out what I'm replying to. But I thought the same as you Andy, that they take up valuable space.

[VWatchie]

I hate the thought, but is there any other similar and decent site dedicated to servicing and repairing?

[RichardHarris123]

I don't think so, that's why we needed a back up plan.  As for quotes, if it's a long post, I  just quote the relevant section.

There are facebook groups ....but another forum that stores information from threads

All we can do is wait and see what happens.
