@otakuloserperson: That's a known issue for a while now. Just wait for a few days and it will switch eventually.

Patience is something not everyone has sadly. On the other hand, we best be ready for another year of no img.
Well at least NTAD will make nice videos

This might not be related to the sig swapping issue but my avatar refuses to change.

You have to make the image extension different than the extension you have now. Like, if your Shinji avatar is a .png image, you have to make your next avatar a .jpg image.

To find out what extension your forum avatar is right now, just right click on it and open up the image URL and see what extension is at the end.

Apparently so.

For an actual answer to what you asked though, the reason it's taking so long is because Crave doesn't go work on the weekends, and this issue popped up near the weekend. Granted, it's Wednesday and still not fixed, but Crave isn't exactly well-known for fixing these things quickly.

Why? We don't really know. I think it has to do with that they're having issues fixing it without breaking something else. Last time [img] in general was gone for almost a year, so no signatures, pictures in descriptions, etc. would work. This is a bit different so hopefully it's just a bug that'll be worked out faster than the last issue, which iirc was caused due to a massive DDoS and hacking and gore spamming that took place.

In other news, my signature seems to back. Sort of. I also tested out embedding an image and whilst an image showed up, it was someone else's signature and not the image I had linked. It doesn't load right away though. I don't know if this means we're getting closer to a fix or if it's just because I'm on a new page and therefore it's loading easier. This is weird shit.

Oh, we don't?

I've never heard any reasons from Crave as to why they take a few centuries to push a minor update, so.

I'm surprised to see that there was such a change. I'm not too surprised to see that it doesn't work properly. Though it looks somewhat similar to what I had proposed previously here:

http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1330363&show=60#msg37086911

I have made some changes to make it work with the current setup as well:

http://gist.github.com/silentguardian/7005884

Like I suggested initially, it can even be turned into lazy loading images script by including jquery.unveil.js and changing current_image.attr("src", current_image.data("src")); with current_image.unveil(); call.

Xinil, I'm dying to know... what does url_check.php actually "do"? I'm guessing it checks a blacklist, but is that really all? If that's the case, it should be done server-side before the page content is even sent to the browser. MAL is high traffic, that extra request isn't going to help it any.


After abusing it with a few calls, it seems to me that it does more than just checking sources against a blacklist. It managed to identify my newly created custom directory requiring basic auth as not okay, so I'm guessing it at least checks the headers of all sources. It would still be costly though.
And slowly, you come to realize... It's all as it should be...

It's been random for me since maybe monday. I keep thinking they're loading faster but then I try another page and it's just as slow.


Damn ok, I just thought I was seeing progress.

No one said it would only be a day or two, but it is not going to take a year or two either. Judging by the fact that it's Thursday evening, the earliest it could possibly be fixed is likely next week now. Please be patient for a little longer.

I know everyone is recalling the nightmare of the last img disable, but that is not going to repeat now.
