Alrighty, I broke the NASCAR embedding already, because their site is not secure, and I'm trying to move Racing Forums to be secure (so it can also take advantage of new faster technologies like HTTP/2). Stand by while I ask NASCAR to fix their site :beerbang:

One thing I tried is embedding a twitter post that has a video in it. Unfortunately, looks like Twitter's embed code doesn't let you play the video straight from the embedded window, so clicking on a video snapshot inside an embedded tweet will open a new page. Not sure if there's anything I can...

I've upgraded the forum software and installed the very excellent s9e Media BBCodes pack addon which allows you to embed stuff from many, many sites. Here's a complete list: https://github.com/s9e/XenForoMediaBBCodes The usage is pretty simple: paste the link to the page, and it will...

I will look for a chunk of time this week to do some maintenance on the forum, bring it up to date and do some tweaks to make it easier to embed media. Not sure about hosting videos in-house; those can get pretty big and we don't have a cost effective high-volume bandwidth plan. But if most or...

I wish I knew how to admin a server. I've been at this for what, 15 years now? We're trying some things to reduce the load on the server. It obviously has enough hardware thrown at it, just needs some TLC to figure out where the hold up is. I wish I had enough dough/spare time to do this...

I'm holding onto my best ones :beerbang:

And by that I mean you can't directly access it through the internet--none of the database users have internet permissions, only local permissions. Of course, if you get in via SSH, you can access the database locally (as if you were physically logged into the computer with a keyboard, mouse...

The type of threat the server is/was under (I think the threat has subsided for now, but I'm often wrong) does not indicate an attempt to break their way in to get databases and whatnot, they're just mad at being banned from a game and they're expressing their frustration the only way script...

It's not someone directly attacking Racing Forums, they're attacking one of the other sites on the server and everyone else suffers as well.

I need to figure out why a bunch of empty PHP session files are getting created in /tmp... 0-byte session files are surely completely useless O_o

Mine did too. Server started doing weird stuff like it did that morning a couple months ago when the database drive died...I started wibbling

Yep, server is/was getting attacked. The outage for the last few hours was us trying to clean up the mess.. I'm not sure if it's still getting attacked or if the current slowness is just a result of me cleaning out a bunch of temp files.

The error has stopped showing up for me. I'm on a 5s as well, but the latest version of iOS. DanicaFreak did it clear up on your end yet?

Mine too, I'll see if I can get some help from Tapatalk.

Sorry about that. Been a pretty busy few weeks for me at work and home. This should be fixed now, hopefully!

If I really could go back to March 2015, I'd tell myself not to buy this stupid car!
