Hi Galactic Survivalists! We made some permission changes on the forum regarding attachments. When you report a bug in either the Public or Experimental section you will not be able to see the attachments anymore due to players not wanting their attachments to be accessible by everyone. It could be due to this changes that it broke aswell on other parts of our forum. Please report here the forum name like (General Discussion, The Hangar Bay, etc etc) if you notice this so we can fix it. We also made the max file size smaller. Please use a file uploading site like Dropbox or GoogleDrive or something else for this Taelyn Community Manager Eleon Game Studios
Can you please expand upon this and please be very thorough. If there are now privacy issues with the log files this NEEDS to be made it's own notice in Steam. There needs to be a very clear explanation of this change, as people are used to just uploading them wherever. We need to be absolutely sure everyone knows there are privacy issues now and EXACTLY what those privacy issues are so no one accidentally compromises themselves. This is a big change and should be explained, IMO. Edit I was freaking out over nothing. Disregard
You can't just casually drop this in a hidden way. People need to be made aware of privacy issues and exactly what they are. Edit I was freaking out over nothing.
The privacy reason being other players not wanting their blueprints or save games downloaded by other users
The way you worded it before your edit, and the way you posted it in another thread, made it seem like there were issues like it showing our external ip or something. Especially when you specifically mentioned log files and privacy issues..... So there is no new compromising data in the log files, correct?
Ironic, because in the past I uploaded a save game here so people COULD download it. It was my empty "workshop" file. The save has 6 BA's that are literally touching each other to appear like one massive BA. Not something you can put into a blueprint. Oh well, it would not be an issue if someone did not abuse it. I'm just sad this was necessary.
Does this mean that the person filing the bug report can not see his attachments, or the attachments will only be invisible to other players but not the author of the message ?
The change is only for our Bug Report Section. Other parts of the forum you can still upload things. But the max file size is smaller now then it used to be, so likely SaveGames cant be uploaded anymore and need to be done on either GoogleDrive or something else Anyone can see attachments, no-one can open them on the Bug Section then Developers
In the thread about needed blocks to be added to the game, I no longer have permission to view the screenshots that I uploaded. Important that people can see images in that thread to attempt to avoid duplicating requests.
We can't. Attached images show as thumbnails that we can't open at all. Gives us the error that we don't have permission to do so. And no, not just in bug reports. It's happening everywhere (it wasn't at first, but last few days we can't see them in any thread anymore). Alternatively, it let me download a game save AND logs in an experimental bug report earlier today, still can't see images though...
Fixed Fixed As i said you will NOT be able to see anything in the bug reports channels anymore. If you want to be able for people to see pictures there then you use a 3rd party host. As the sharring is then not our problem but yours Neither people arnt able to download files there just checked
You clearly didn't read my post very well..... The screenshots issue has nothing to do with bug reports, and it isn't "fixed". These posts for example, can't see the images at all. Says we don't have permission. This is NOT a bug report..... Thousands more examples where that came from. https://empyriononline.com/threads/epic-screenshots-compilation.35481/page-26#post-452339 https://empyriononline.com/threads/epic-screenshots-compilation.35481/page-26#post-451687 Just now, when I try to click on one of those images (which is NOT in a bug report), I get this, "Empyrion – Galactic Survival - Community Forums - Error You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action." Or this one (also not a bug report). Can't see the images. https://empyriononline.com/threads/v1-8-experimental-ii.99905/#post-452200 Or this one. Can't see these images either, same error. https://empyriononline.com/threads/v1-8-experimental-i.99837/
I am also guessing that you are running out of space on the server for the forums? I was looking over my profile settings, is there any way I can see what attachments I uploaded over the years? I would like to go through them and do some pruning.
No but i can give you a list in private where you outline what needs to be removed, then we can remove it if you wish
That will work. I know I uploaded quite a few save games in the past and I'm betting you no longer need the log files for resolved bug reports.
Empyrion – Galactic Survival - Community Forums - Error You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action. I got this when I clicked on a picture thumbnail that was NOT in a bug report forum yes definitely working as intended
Since it was deleted from the other thread I'll repost here. If people are concerned about their privacy - fair enough. But it's up to them to deal with it. Making a sweeping change that affects us all to cater for a minority is ridiculous. As is deleting a post you disagree with and flagging it off topic.
