Re: 503 error feedback

Is there an update on what's been/being tried to fix it? Mike.

Yes. We have been working on this and hope to announce a significant update fairly soon.

Re: 503 error feedback

I had it today so posted my text, then hit edit, added the html thing and hit save and it posted.

Hope this works for you

It had gone away for me, but has now surreptiously returned without saying 503! The message now is "Service Temporarily Unavailable. The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later". For all intents and purposes the same thing.

I am trying to upload using a Windows 7 maching, using Chrome, and from Flickr.

Have you tried posting your text, then hit edit and pop in the computer code for your image and hit 'Save'?

Yes! Tried the approach of creeping up from behind and surprising the system! I will try from home on my mac.

I get this regularly too. What I do now is type my whole thread including Flickr grab code, into a notebook document first, then copy and paste sections into the thread, posting each section, then editing the thread to add the next section. Usually works, but is a bit of a faff!

Tried this on my Mac last night. No luck... Just tried again, still no luck...

I still like being on this forum...

I always get the 503 if I try to post both text and a picture together in a new thread and the way round it, which works 99 times out of 100 is to post your text, then edit and add in the picture. Try it and see
