Attachments still getting queued for a long time

[John R Ellis]

Others have probably observed as well that after the forum upgrade, attachments are still getting queued for a long time, e.g. the attachment in this post has been queued for almost two hours:

http://forums.adobe.com/thread/433930?tstart=0

(The attachment posted 9:56 AM PDT, it's now 11:49 AM PDT.)

Is there an ETA on a fix for this?  If it's going to be awhile, can attachments just be disabled until it's fixed?

In the meantime people can be advised to just use the camera icon for images, they appear immediately.

Thanks.  I had searched this forum for previous postings with "queued" but forgot that search doesn't do stemming and that I needed to explicitly search subforums as well.

Testing.

[Kath-H]

Oooh! Instant!

[Kath-H]

Non-image file.

[Kath-H]

Wow! I wonder if the virus-checker is turned off, or just speeded up - a lot?

[Guest]

You shouldn't put such saucy messages up Kath!

[Zeno_Bokor]

this isn't the first time that attachments went instantly online, last time this happened it only lasted for a couple of days. Lets hope they finally figured it out and it stays like this

I seem to recall that it was also a weekend last time the queue was speedy.

Apparently the virus checking hamsters only work part time and on weekends.

Just seen an attachment that's been queued for over an hour. I wonder what we are to consider normal?

[Zeno_Bokor]

where? John wants links to stuck queues so he can send them to support

[Kath-H]

It was here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1993019#1993019 but it's come through now.

[Zeno_Bokor]

someone must have scared it into submission lets hope that this is the end of the "use the camera icon" posts

[Kath-H]

It was an html file that got stuck, so just testing ...

[Edit - straight in]

thanks, but better tell users to use the Camera Icon until this gets sorted out as that doesn't have a queue

[Kath-H]

Only works for image files, of course.

[Ildhund]

Only works for image files, of course.

Not so, Kath. People have successfully inserted all sorts of files using the camera icon. Only displayable ones will display.

In lieu of working attachments, I prefer recommending www.pixentral.com, for a couple of reasons:

- The camera icon is limited to 2 MB, while Pixentral has a larger limit. For the metadata issues I often address, I of course want to see the original.  And not only is it inconvenient for the original poster to resize the image to upload it, but many Photoshop Elements users have difficulty resizing the pixel dimensions of photos.

- When a 2 MB image is inserted with the camera icon, the Jive software inserts a link to the original 2 MB image and relies on browser-side image resizing, slowing down everyone's page downloads.  For an example:

Here's the HTML:

<a href="http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/4336/skin91.jpg">

<img alt="skin91.jpg" class="jive-image-thumbnail jive-image" onclick=""   
  src="http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/4336/skin91.jpg" width="620"/>

</a>

The SRC URL refers to the full 2 MB image.

right click and open in new tab to get the full image

blank eps file uploaded so it also works on other types of files, not that it matters much, this is a temporary solution until they figure out what's wrong with the virus scanner or whatever is blocking up the queues

Doesn't apply if the original image is larger than 2 MB, since the camera icon limits you to 2 MB or less.
