catnet 9,353 July 20, 2015 Share July 20, 2015 (edited) Recently, I've noticed some (but not all) of my posts and PMs which include images change a while after I have posted them... one or a few of the images will copy and replace some of the others, like here- https://mlpforums.com/topic/133601-hello-to-everyone/?view=findpost&p=3955306 And now that I look again, it's a different image that has copied itself. Even after I edited it back to normal, this happened again a few minutes later... I'm not sure what it is that's causing it. And I'm not sure if this makes any difference, but every time this has happened, the images I posted were from Derpibooru (though almost all of the images I use are from there). I haven't seen anyone mention something like this before, so I'm not sure if it's only affecting me or if it can happen with anyone. Edit: it looks like it's happened here as well... =/ Edited July 20, 2015 by Senpai~ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightwing 12,955 August 9, 2015 Share August 9, 2015 @, I am checking about if this issue appeared again or now it behaves like normal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeric 46,833 August 9, 2015 Share August 9, 2015 This is interesting. I missed this. I have another member to experienced the same issue not that long ago. Quick question Senpai ... has this happened after this post as well? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightwing 12,955 August 9, 2015 Share August 9, 2015 @, second call to check about if this issue repeated again. Please answer, thank you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catnet 9,353 August 9, 2015 Author Share August 9, 2015 (edited) Sorry I don't believe I've seen it happen again since I made this topic, but I haven't been doing anywhere near as many posts or messages with multiple images recently, so I'm not sure if it just stopped occuring, or if I just haven't happened upon it again. Edit: I made a post with multiple images to see if it's still a problem, and it happened again. This is the post I made- https://mlpforums.com/topic/4731-fluttershy-fan-club/page-213#entry4007390 And these were the images I used- https://derpicdn.net/img/2014/10/4/735364/medium.png https://derpicdn.net/img/2014/8/16/700881/medium.png https://derpicdn.net/img/2014/6/12/651506/medium.png At the moment, the last image has replaced the other two, so it appears three times- Also, I used a different browser (Firefox) to make this post than I did when I started the topic (Google Chrome), if that makes any difference. For some reason, though, the smaller images I used (this, and this) are unaffected... I've only seen images from Derpibooru be changed like this.

Lightwing 12,955 August 9, 2015 Share August 9, 2015 @, thank you for your collaboration. I will go and ping the Tech Staff to see what could be causing this issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Drakkon 362 August 9, 2015 Solution Share August 9, 2015 c&p my conclusions[9:49:20 PM] Twilight: no... that can't be right. that addon can't be that dumb.[9:49:24 PM] Twilight: notably, all 3 images are called "medium.png"[9:49:43 PM] Twilight: the image data is distinguished by post id and image name[9:50:39 PM | Edited 9:52:07 PM] Twilight: stands to reason that, unless there's a formatting system that's not displayed in the first image (ie, not sig-x.sig-x.medium1.png, y2.png, 3y.png, but rather y.png, y1.png, y2.png) the last image of the post will overwrite the rest first.[9:50:54 PM] Twilight: seems to be dumb as all hell but tell him to try using different filenames [9:51:31 PM] Twilight: since all 3 images are in the same post and have the same name all will be saved as sig-4007390.sig-47007390.medium.png[9:51:35 PM] Twilight: mhm. addon needs fixing[9:53:13 PM] Twilight: why is it called sig-x.sig-x.filename.type, anyway? what's with the double sig-x.sig-x?[9:53:25 PM] Twilight: could be the original distinguishing system has broken down due to something use different filenames. we'll add this bug to the to-fix list 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
