Thanks for the info, I did originally post to the original category and then I was able to change it to to the image category.

The very quick responses we really great to get!

Hi, There is a 50GB+ video torrent that has no thmbnails.
A user noticed I commented that I had made thumbnails for all this videos in order to answer some questions posted.

He asked me if I could post the thumbnails to help select the videos to download.

So my question is - can I create a torent that consists only the the thumbnail sheets for this other large video torrent? And if it is allowed can I post in the same category as the torrent they are referring to?

Thanks - Mark

Hi, I don't know how many people still use IE, but the label on the permalink which lists the activity date in the upper right corner is missing.

Here is the snippet of a post using Chrome which is
correct:

<small class="pull-right">
	<i component="post/edit-indicator" class="fa fa-pencil-square pointer edit-icon hidden"></i>
	<small data-editor="" component="post/editor" class="hidden">last edited by  <span class="timeago" title=""></span></small>
	<span class="visible-xs-inline-block visible-sm-inline-block visible-md-inline-block visible-lg-inline-block">
		<a class="permalink" href="/post/269686"><span class="timeago" title="26 Jan 2021, 04:15" datetime="2021-01-26T09:15:03.783Z">**2 days ago**</span></a>
	</span>
</small>

Note the 2 days ago in the last span.

Here is the snippet in IE:

<small class="pull-right">
	<i class="fa fa-pencil-square pointer edit-icon hidden" component="post/edit-indicator"></i>
	<small class="hidden" component="post/editor" data-editor="">last edited by <span title="" class="timeago"></span></small>
	<span class="visible-xs-inline-block visible-sm-inline-block visible-md-inline-block visible-lg-inline-block">
		<a class="permalink" href="/post/269686"><span title="2021-01-26T09:15:03.783Z" class="timeago"></span></a>
	</span>
</small>

You will note that the contents of the last span, which should be "2 days ago" is missing.

This is the limit of my debugging ability to try to help.

Hi I was wondering if there was going to be a holiday free leach this year.
Last year I was at the relatives and missed out on it.  This year I am
covid-ed at home and am hoping it will cum!

I have noticed that the problem with overly tall images causing difficulties in using the imager browser has been fixed with appropriate clip() code! Thanks! :hug2:

I had gotten several and reported them.  I just got an email that another PM was
just received from and address that seemed to be similar to the other SPAMS, and
I went to my PM box, and ALL the SPAM messages are GONE!

I guess the mods are stepping in. I am not 100% sure how I feel about them
messing with my saved messages though I can understand what they are doing
as well. . .

Minor bug in browse page.

In the browse page, if the picture selected is one of those tall, multi shot pictures the entire shot is shown in the browse page.  In the old page, it appears as if these overly tall pictures were trimmed to a reasonable height.

2 examples: https://www.gaytorrent.ru/details.php?id=a26f5a2be8cc3a63eca3c72c00219918fc54edbd57941b56
and https://www.gaytorrent.ru/details.php?id=0c12e94a0a91398beca3c72c0021991892a8bf248157fde6

Hope I was clear in my explanation - Mark

I really like the progress on the redesign!

I just saw the extended view on the search pages, and to me it seems to be the best of the search and browse features.

It works well for the way I use the site. I see some other proposed tweaks, and I will see how it all works out.

Thanks for a HUGE effort!  :cheers:

Hi, I noticed it is backup today. It is on the sign-in page, but it is not taking my old
sign-in credentials.

So maybe they are on the way back up, but not there fully. . .

Yes something is going on - there are usually around 100 freeleech torrents daily

Yeah sometimes tapes are pretty much worn through or have
very bad sync problems.

But without good equipment and techniques even a pristine
tape can be RIP-d to a steaming pile!

I use what was then a high-end JVC SVHS deck which can stabilize
many tapes that are normally beyond hope.  I capture at a high
bit rate, using the S-Video connector to a very good Hauppauge
capture unit.  I try to get the initial contrast/brightness/hue
from the capture s/w.

I then import the capture into a freeware program called VirtualDub.
I fix up the overscan issues, tweak any more issues that are apparent,
and often have to fix the aspect ratio to the correct 4/3.

There is a limit to how much effort I will expend - on tapes where the
hue changes virtually every scene I just try to find a happy medium for
the entire tape. I don't want to spend the time correcting each scene.

I then save to a more friendly bit rate for posting.

I am seeding the three vids I listed. I see from the up idle time in Vuze
that someone got takin; care of mike over night.

@gaypraha2:

I don't remember that VHS tapes were this bad to begin with

probably because you were watching them on an standard low res. CRT screen.  ;D

There are limitations of the VHS format no matter how good the VHS rip is, but
here are three that I think are pretty good - I did RIP each of them, so I have
some bias, and I spend a lot of time of making them the best they can be, considering. . .

@Popper:

That torrent has no completed downloads, that is why the reseed request button isn't active.

(Further the shared file's content is on our banned list, so I've now removed that torrent)

Thanks for the reply I hadn't noticed there were no completed downloads, and sure enough
when I just searched for dead torrents most of the first ones have no completions so
that's why I wasn't seeing the button active. Thanks for your time.  - Mark

@MrMazda:

By default, the reseed button is disabled when there are 3 or more seeder who are seeding the torrent. I have seen some cases where there is a glitch and it is not working for torrents that have 0, 1, or 2 seeders, but this is an odd exception to the rule. Which torrent in question are you referring to?

The specific torrent was https://www.gaytorrent.ru/details.php?id=a621c6c3f93d4a04eca3c72c00219918f6456bd59669ba89

But I did just a search asking for all dead torrents and the first
few I looked at had the button disabled

So are you seeing the button ok?

Thanks - Mark

I was looking for a dead video this a.m. and I note that the request re-seed button is inactive for me.

Is this somehow related to my account, or is it off for everyone - if so why?

Thanks - Mark

I enjoyed using the picture browser occassionally in the past, and I thought it used my
saved categories as defaults.  This one appears to start off with all categories enabled.

I would like it if it started off with just my saved categories, becuase now the first thing
I have to do is expand the categories list, and then select my categories! 

Other than that, it is still something I will continue to use to explore.

Thanks - Mark
