Robin,
I thought, I wrote here a post about Imagick on various hosts and Symbiostock forum format, but can’t find it anymore. Was it deleted?

“I’m recommending everyone contact their web-host to install it or consider moving their media store to a host that does”.
Well meant, but a little bit naive. I sent such a request 2 years ago to my host, but that’s not on their agenda. As of now, I can’t use Inmagick.

Robin,
thank you for picking up the Symbiostock idea and enhancing it. I’m looking forward to it.
What will be the required setup for beta testing? Shall we get a temporary account on your hosting system or should we set up our own new site with our existing host?

LesPalenik replied to the topic The New Site in the forum Symbiostock News 5 years, 10 months ago
Leo,
is Academia a replacement for the original Symbiostock wordpress theme?
And if so, what is involved in such a conversion / upgrade?Will you create a forum section or a thread, devoted to the upgrade process / recommended approach?
Thanks,
Les

Glad to see you all again.
Leo, as to the upcoming new version, I would assume that there will be a automatic migration tool, so we can keep adding images to our existing sites and when the new program is ready, we can do the automatic conversion.
Or will the old data be compatible with the new program?Les

LesPalenik replied to the topic User Login Attempts seen with Wordfence in the forum General 6 years, 8 months ago
Tim,
Wordfence gives you also the IP address for each attempted login. If multiple login attempts are coming from similar IP addresses, you know these are bad guys. Instead of blocking each IP address specifically, you can block entire ranges of IP addresses – small or large ranges.

LesPalenik replied to the topic Unusually high hit counter on one image in the forum Technical Support 6 years, 9 months ago
If you found your stats page, that’s good. The stats page may be different for every host.
I use ipower.com as my host, and they have a Control Panel, and one of the option is Statistics.Back to my original post. I still get about 600 hits per month on that particular page (compared to a dozen or two dozen hits for the next most visited…[Read more]

LesPalenik replied to the topic Unusually high hit counter on one image in the forum Technical Support 6 years, 9 months ago
On my stats page, I can’t see the detailed information who are the visitors on a particular page, but when looking at the most frequent visitors to the site, I see two IP addresses (208.115.113.92 and 208.115.113.82), both connected with Wowrack.com, based in Seattle. I’m pretty sure that these sites are the culprit.
Wowrack.com is apparently a…[Read more]

Jo Ann,
I don’t think that the rocks are hot topics – definitely not on continuing basis.
First month, I thought, it’s a fluke, but as I mentioned, this has been happening for several months now. Very strange!
I’ll report here if I find any links or patterns. -

Embedding images could put a huge strain on your web server. I’m not sure that the host companies would appreciate that.
Good point.
Higher server charges and slowed down server responses could hurt the embedders even more than they saved by using such “free” images. -
LesPalenik replied to the topic I like the embedding feature.. in the forum General 6 years, 10 months ago
I doubt I would make every image available for embedding, but it is actually a great marketing tool if you think longer about it.
Far from a great marketing tool. I think, it reeks of desperation. Don’t devalue your images.
The good thing about embedding is that you actually keep control over your images so if you change your mind you can switch…

Thanks, Jo Ann
I agree that one has to exercise some restraints, and since everybody has a different idea what “artistic improvements” are, there is an ample room for things going awry. As you say, best thing might be to try out some images done in that way. Maybe even create a separate category for such images. -

Thank you, Joan
Maybe that was the problem (email address filled in).
I deleted the pre-filed email address, re-entered it and then password change worked flawlessly. - Load More
