Ok thanks!  ;D

Every picture above 180x180 pixel will show fine. The picture won't be resized any more and the generated thumbnail preview picture will be proportionally resized to 180 pixel width. The current issue appears if thiny pictures like thumbnails, for example 105x150 pixel are uploaded, because they will be resized to 180x180 for the thumbnail preview. That happens since the earlier post described resizing was dropped.

Thanks for the help guys, in particular to Speedmaster8 for his detailed response. I didn't modify my hosts file, but I did change the DNS server. I'm not sure whether this made the difference. I've been on holiday for a couple of weeks, and since my return, the site seems to be running at normal speed again. Thanks again for all the suggestions

wow, what sudden influx of hormones compelled you to download 100 torrents in a day? you have my salute :congrats:

If you mean 'Browse' the torrents, then they are listed in posting order. Just keep going back until you recognise one(s) you've seen before. It would be nice if somehow torrents which have had new comments since last visit could be tagged. Or moved up the posting list.

@bernowald: just tried that, and it ticks itself back on…. Did you make another change at the same time? If so, try one at a time. Some changes don't take if others are made at the same time for some reason still, maybe, AFAIK.

Oh wow, I just checked that Banned list too.  Raging Stallion now?  Damn it.  That was my favorite studio to download!  Does that mean Falcon, Mustang, Jocks, Stag Homme, Hard Friction, Naked Sword, Butch Dixon and all the other studios under them are banned (or going to be banned) also?? Guess UseNet is the way to go.   :cry2:

Thanks, Popper

I've seen you even made a guide  :cheers:

@Popper: Yes, but the login will expire after 24 hours, so regular re-login will be needed. That is to remind users which never logout to take care to know their password, or to make the browser storing it. This is another measure to improve privacy on our site and to stop information crawling bots. And I would add if you change ISP's change your email BEFORE changing if you associate the ISP email with gt.ru …that way you can recover your password...otherwise it may be difficult to recover if the email no longer that was associated with this site no longer exists.

Yes a big thank you. Nice to be back after some months without a PC. But windows 8…. :afr2:

I think it's some sort of stereotyping that is going on. For example Google won't display ads on a site that has adult material - presumably they think people that enjoy porn aren't interested in anything else, like clothes, holidays etc… Ebay apparently refuse to affiliate with any gay site, whether general gay interest or otherwise (unless they recently changed this policy) - they must think gay people don't want to buy things. Both are beyond stupid in this respect. And with these generic porn ads, presumably they think porn lovers like all porn or they just play it random offending gay people with straight ads and straight people with gay ads, instead of tailoring the ads to the site which would benefit everyone.

Sorry guys. I made a grave error in my bookmark. I had the wrong page & now everything works properly. My thanks especially to Popper; as it was his question as to the bookmark url that gave me the proper addy. Again I thank all of you for your assistance.

Thanks.  I logged out and logged back in (using IE) but that didn't fix it.  All that did was prevent me from using Google Chrome to log in (which seems permanent).  I did add a comment to the torrent description about the pictures so I am sure most people will understand what's going on.

Thank you, all is right with the world again 

Good of you caring and asking about the rules.  @frostycab: Just out of interest, am I still able to use my home PC and laptop to download here even if I have the seedbox running at the same time? Yes, you can. I tested dl/ul with using seedbox and (free) vpn at same time.

Every member got 2 Profiles on GayTorrent.ru: 1/ The site Profile, which is reached by clicking on the "Profile" in the blue menu band on the top of our pages. It is that Profile picture, which is seen next to the comments to torrents. 2/ The forum Profile, which is reached by clicking on the "Profile" in another blue menu band, lower on the page, if the forum is visited, just above the Forum categorises and sections. It is that Profile picture, which is displayed next to the forum messages. Both got an independent setting for the avatar picture. –--- The link you've provided in the site Profile (1/), goes to a http server outside GayTorrent.ru. However with the change to SSL encrypted connection for more privacy of GayTorrent.ru all http prefixes were changed into https. Your picture server doesn't allow a https connection. You could place the picture in our bitbucket.

This is a "Power User" - feature.  

@Speedmaster8: Our Upload Guide additional section says: Abbreviations and Acronyms … ... I encourage every user not to use them, whenever possible. … However I see no point in adding a Rule, which we can't enforce and currently we don't have the resources for that. This site is missing eagerly staffing. BTW: The above "I" should be changed into a "we" …

Hi Laibach, actually, this sort of failures is not because of "bad programming", or "bad implements, but because not all browser behave like they should, when it comes to session-ids and temporary content. Even if you tell FireFox, NOT to save any cache-items, it still saves the temporary parts and displays the "old" security code image with the wrong session-id, which is only valid for one time only. If you do any other request, before the input of the right code, the security code isn't valid any more and therefore a new security code is built. The "normal" function for the session would be deleting the session-id and cache-items and requesting the hole content from the server again, but due to performance reasons, FireFox isn't requesting a new session-id with the download of the new security code image and that's the reason, why these failures happen. … and no (!!!), there is no possibilty that this failure may be used for an exploit, because the server builts a new session-id and a new security image every time, untill you put in the right code. Any other code is blocked during this security procedure.
