• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hi all

I've set up a separate web server for most of the image files served from CF. Took me a while to migrate them and make all the code changed but as far as I can tell it's done, and everything looks like it's working.

This should speed CF a bit more now that image files are on a separate web server.

Please post here if you see any broken image links. I may have missed a few things here and there. :)
Every image so far for me is broken. If you do put the images on another server, they will continue to be broken for me as Mozilla has a feature that lets only images from the originating server to appear (cuts down on ads).

Just one person here, but I figured I would let you in on the possibility of problems for others.

I'm experiencing the same thing. None of the images are showing up. They just have little words or captions on them and the posts are going way off the screen. Some of the signature images are showing up though like on KristiAnn's.

Hey, couldn't see the image to edit my post so I quoted it. Just wanted to let you all know, I'm using Mozilla as well. Also, this is causing some SERIOUS slow down of Christian Forums for me. The New Post page actually took me about 4-5 minutes just to load on my 56k modem which runs at around 50k.

Things will be slow when you first log in as all image files will need to be re-downloaded from the new web server. However, once this is done, things should be much faster. :):)
Interesting, I have my cashe disabled anyway so I've never stored the gif files for reuse and it has never been this slow.

I'm running on a T1 at work and getting about the same speed issue there.

I see no images whatsoever, just broken link boxes where there was an image.

That's how it is here as well. Even the boxes where it normally says "Edit", "Reply", etc and the editing buttons for posting are all little boxes with 'x' in them.
