First off, SquidgeWorld didn’t fully come up this morning, but that’s because we’ve been working on Squidge Images. Our new anti-bot software didn’t start as it was supposed to, but that has been found and corrected. So SquidgeWorld is up and running now.
Squidge Image Hosting went through an upgrade this morning and everything is working – with a limitation. Image hosting is there, and works like normal under the new code. Video hosting works as well, but for this we are relying on external storage (a cloud storage option) and THAT external storage isn’t working yet. So, for right now we are still just hosting images. As soon as our hosting provider can figure out what’s going on with our online hosting bucket, we will enable video uploads as well.
But for now – YOU CANNOT UPLOAD VIDEOS. Only regular images like normal.
EDIT: We NOW support the uploading and hosting of videos! But please be aware of a few things:
- Videos are currently supported only if they are .MOV or .MP4 types. Other types such as .mkv are NOT SUPPORTED.
- Videos must be 100 megabytes or smaller to upload.
- Video upload can take up to 5 minutes to complete! Upload one at a time, and wait for your browser to respond.
This is amazing! Also it seem the Ao3 downtime bring new users to Squidgeworld since the numbers of new tags to wrangle are really high.
Yeah no your anti-bot stuff ain’t working at all. I can’t log in because captcha decided im a bot and will not budge.
We literally have a thousand+ people on the site right now, so it must be your browser/plugins interfering.
