Solved: Attachments MIA
Noticed last night the some people are unable to see attachments.
In this thread aka Brett could not see the attachment in post 9, but I was able to. Later on he was able to see them, but the OP wasn't.

I opened the same thread in a new tab and the attachments were no longer visible to me either.

This was on Firefox 2.0.0.20, on servers 1, 5, and 6

The TSG Status page was blacked out, so I figured some sort of maintenance was going on.

Today the Status page shows everything is OK, but the attachments are still missing. I can't seem to hit any server but Number 5 today, so it may be just an issue with the new server.

Attachments are also missing in this thread, posts 10 and 13.

Same result with Firefox 3.0.10 on two other systems, and also can't get on any server but #5 on either of them.

Anyone else seeing anything similar?

Same thing here,
I can't see the attachments using Opera v10 or Chrome v3.0.*

And I see I'm stuck on server 5 as well.

I noticed earlier I seemed to be getting stuck on servers instead of the server changing between page loads.

I can't get to server 5 no matter how I try.

The attachments work fine for me, I refreshed about 20 times for each thread, never did see them disappear.

The attachments are working fine for me now, and I'm not stuck on server 5 anymore.

Though now I seem to be stuck on server 6.

I believe I've just fixed the attachments issue. Please let me know!

Servers are now a bit more sticky than they were before -- this is by design to keep you on one server while a page loads. If you don't request a new page in 30 seconds, you may be redirected to a new server. No big deal, but just something to be aware of if you're testing problems for me.

Alright, So I'm not stuck on a server I'm just refreshing too quickly, I waited 30 seconds and got put on a different server.

Attachments seem fine at the moment for me.

Another oddity though, in the last 7-8 hours I've received several email notifications dated 8/29 through 8/31 (PDT). Some are one's I never received before, but a couple look familiar, though that might be because I read the actual post as I have received notifications for posts made later.
I only keep the latest notification so I can't confirm if any are duplicates.

Seems Web5 has been saving them:

That explains why I was stuck on one when I was trying to find Server 5!

Attachments still working fine so looks like this is solved.
