idk might come back soon. Developers could also be adjusting things or just a temporary glitch.

I have same problem. What is going on?

will try to not douple post

Yes, there is not a funktion in the posting windows to post direct a pic from your PC. You need a pic directlink from anyone website or pic-file host. Example pic direct link (here posted clickable): https://media-1-albums.gayporntube.com/galleries/2458585ccb86481a325/5ccb8b25e5aed.jpg

You have to insert this link into the "Source" field of the popup window of the landscape button (Insert/edit image) of the posting window. Of of of, lol . Then click "Ok". Then click "Post".

1) Upload pictures: To upload an album there has to be a minimum of 15 images. Albums need approval by admin (that may take up to days!). Uploading a single image is not possible (that feature is on the request list).
2) To post a picture you need the URL of the picture. If you want to post a picture from your local computer you have to upload it to an image hoster first (e.g. postimg.cc) and use the url it provides to integrate the image into the post via the image feature (where you paste its URL). [CLOSED] 

Scroll down: https://www.gayporntube.com/blog/74036.html 

No, you can only move with your mouse the cursor in the GBT vid player to the time you want to do a snapshot, you can start/stop the vid with the space key on your keyboard or by a click on the start/stop button in the GBT vid player.

I will check that. I haven't seen something like that.

I think I understand the msunderstanding, lol. When I upload a video, after saving it I have to return to the video edit page and it allows me to select from like 6 or 8 snapshots from the video. Sometimes, they don't reflect the best scene you would like to show as snapshot of the video. 

Publishing a video: https://www.gayporntube.com/blog/74036.html 

When you upload a video a default-thumbnail (the image shown in the video overviews) is generated by the system and set per default. When you edit the video after uploading it you have to select from 10 alternative thumbnails also generated by the system (the ability to keep the default-thumbnail is on the fix-list), individual thumbnails are not possible (it would be abused). So you can either not edit the video or choose from 10 alternative thumbnails. [CLOSED]

New wall designs need to be approved by monitors now, it needs time...

And how do you do if you want to see how a change looks? I was trying to change the HTML myself, but is there a faster way?

I have just gone through all avatars and backgrounds awaiting approval. I recognise your username - check now.

HOHOHO, the site finally reflected the change!!! It turned out spectacular, man!!!! Thanks whoever helped. I don't know if it was you, then thanks man.

It's 7:00AM where I am. When you uploaded your avatar / background for approval I was asleep. 

Approvals are managed manually, by a real human, and attended when they are able. Approvals are not the top priority of monitors. 

Monitors are volunteers.   https://www.gayporntube.com/blog/74036.html 

When changing your profile you get an info that e.g. "Your page background image is pending approval!". As C4leb explained that approval is a manual process by real humand will take time - therefore you will not see profile changes directly but only after they were approved. This is a security & anti-abuse measure that sadly had to be implemented.
6:45 AM here and [SOLVED].

Yes, the HTTP (or the backend DB) servers appear specially slow today...
@Nick18?

I woke up to 22 notifications for the 404 blog, I thought the data center exploded :)

I hope we have gotten things stable now, I'm watching for any new issues

Does 'the system' block users? It's a manual process, where a member selects to block another.

I think you mix up 2 different things.
1) The system, in rare cases, automatically does User SUSPENSION (e.g. spam & abuse protection etc.). A bug regarding this was recently fixed.
2) User A BLOCKING User B is a manual process by User A (he clicks the "block" button on User B and conformes the "Are you sure?" Dialoge). The whole purpose & nature of this is that User B becomes unable to interact with User A on a direct level (Message, Wall...). So there is naturally nothing User B can do about that.

@kc&The Sunshine Band

It is a year old Methuselem issue, buried on the "have to-do-list". It happens in very rare cases on some walls altough the wall didn't block the member... You may try to inform the member via another unblocked member that you are blocked... I just hope that the unblocking works then...

To C4LEB, Verydelight and Nuked... thanks for your answers, but this is a known issue and Nick and former monitor Rubax knew about this and it was seemingly fixed several months ago.  I am well aware it is a manual process when you want to block someone, but what I have asked about is something different.  Yes, it's rare.  It's very easy to blame this on human error but i don't think that's the case.

Nuked... I have done what you suggested for other friends and some have asked on my behalf.  All cases were not manually blocked.

-kevin.  

Could the members become unblocked manually on the blocked walls by the owners of the walls?

I have proof the system can block someone... I was blocked by my own wall 2 years ago.  I took a screen shot and sent it to Nick...  Even tho the blocking feature is a manual process with the "are you sure" warning, you cannot block yourself.  There's no way to do it.  -kevin. 

@kc

Yes indeed, you cannot block yourself. In the same way you also cannot unblock yourself... So it seems the self-blocking has been fixed only on your wall two years ago. The self-blocking bug still needs to be fixed in the sytem. To find the bug will be difficult... The self blocking needs to be recreated...

I have sent to the developers for review

Thanks Nick.  If you remember, I was blocked by my own wall a few years ago... I sent you a screen shot and you got it fixed.  There is no way you can block your own wall... there are no icons to do it... just like you cannot send yourself a friend request, send yourself a private message or subscribe to your own content. 

This unintentional friends blocking problem randomly happens and I have other examples... Thank you and the others who have responded.  I appreciate it.  -kevin.  

An example of a gallery where drag & drop works for everything is:

https://www.gayporntube.com/galleries/archie4-1513654.html

The problem is most likely local (your computer).
On the album you provided I can drag & drop the main image as well as the thumbnails to explorer (tested FF and Chrome on W11).
Just to confirm: Do you also have example where some images work and some dont (please also give an info which images work and which dont - so I can find whats the difference between them - would help diagnosing your local problem)? 

The ability to drag & drop a regular image from a website to the explorer is controlled on the browser and system level. While it is technically possible to interfere with it on the website level, no such method is implemented on GPT albums to my knowledge.

Thanks VD for a speedy reply. The next time I encounter these errors in a mixed gallery I will post the links here for you

As it likely is a local problem just PM them to me, I''ll try to help. No need to open a new case here.

Should it turn out to be a system side problem I'll make it a case for tech/devel. For now I mark this case [CLOSED].

That's a no no

There is even steganography in some albums hiding UA images... I found 3 so far. I assume there are 100s. 2 cases were pretty obvious, one I found by accident.

I think they are working on wall post removal bugs now

 working removals are nice, working postings are nicer, lol

"Attitude"... Thanks. I tried to help you with your problem (not my job, I was just kind). With very simple instructions (Do a rightclick on the empty part of your profile, select "inspect", in the new window click the line that starts with <html..., copy it and send it). It was too "tech" for you, I got screenshots, links to screenshots on your local harddrive etc.
It was leading nowhere so, yes, I gave up.
I even constructed a replication of your profile with the same favourites, posts etc. to see if I can somehow replicate the problem by myself. 

Then C4leb got to me asking me to take care of your problem again (he knew what I needed and tried to convey it you - He even send you an image of a computer mouse showing you where the right button is...). The closest he got with you is a screenshot of the inspector.... But I need the full content of the inspector.
As this was still leading nowhere and I know exactly  what I need to at least find where the problem starts (takes me 5 seconds)  I asked him to convey 2 options: 1) change your password to a temporary one so I can try it out myself using your account credentials and/or let me remote access (e.g. via Teamviewer) to see if it is a local problem. Nothing came back from YOUR SIDE on this (at least C4leb didnt tell me).

So yes, after wasting ages of time writing ~50 messages/emails (with C4leb and you), manually duplicating your profile (2 hours) - nothing of which is my job, because I'm not-the-admin - I have an "attitude".

Good luck then.

I just went to your profile and everything looked okay to me.

Yes think maybe corrupted catche on his browser

Verydelight,

I have never received an email from you. The only emails I received from Caleb are dated May 25 when he confirmed receipt of the screen prints he requested & I thought you wanted. The last response from you was 4 weeks ago in my inbox: "Good, then I'm realy sorry. If doing a right-click and using copy&paste is already too complicated I realy can't help you." 

The last message from Caleb was 1 week ago: "I spoke with verydelight yesterday. I'm sending him the screenshots, and we'll examine them together to see what the problem is, and see if anything can be done. Sorry it's taken so long."

Given the fact that the problem exists in multiple browsers I don't know how this can be a cache problem but since that the first possible solution other users suggested I cleared the cache. Nothing happened. Your response a month ago was insulting and dismissive, as is your response here. If you cannot or will not help, go away. As I told you then, I am not a programmer, merely a user. I did not create this problem and should not be attacked for asking Nick18 for attention.

@Beta2720: I emailed and messaged with C4leb about your problem so he can translate my technobabbel l33t hacker speak like "Do a right-click" into something you can understand and follow more comfortably. The fact that he hasn't conveyed my request for "remote-access" and "temporary password" to you maybe indicates that even with years of experience in care he has lost his confidence in explaining things easy enough for you to follow.

But hey, now you got a low effort and likely not problem-related "Yes think maybe corrupted catche on his browser" from Nick18 himself, without any attitude. So all is good now, you can be happy, and I can have my attitude.

@Beta

If the problem exists in any browser then it is not a browser specific issue. Other walls are looking ok? Try to log out your wall by a click on this link: https://www.gayporntube.com/logout/

Your browser then opens a second browser tab (should open; it depends your browser settings how to open the clicked links). Just ignore the opened site... 

Reload your wall. Does your wall now looking normal like other walls? Wall posts and so on are visible now?

Then it is only a problem with the "logged in version" of your wall! There are available/stored on the server two versions for each wall; the logged in and the logged out version. There are even more, lightly changed website versions available/stored for differently browsers. Seems to be an GPT server/database problem with incomplete stored or incomplete transmitted wall content in the logged in wall versions.

If your wall is damaged in both wall versions you can do that:

One possibility to help you is this: (Technical instruction, sorry) Open your wall with Firefox, press control a to select (to highlight blue) everything on your wall how it looks for you, then do a right click, in the popup you click on "Show selected source code". FF opens a new tab; it shows the complete html codes (The DOM) of your damaged wall. Highlight blue everything on that new browser tab by control a. Press control c. Does your messanger work? Then you can paste this content with control v into the posting window (works like a text gets pasted) of one communication with verydelight in your messanger. My beloved ex friend Verydelight (he is the missunderstanding in person, sadly, he gets everything in the wrong throat) then is able to check the codes/content of your damaged wall; can compare it with the intact, fully loaded wall content...  Ev there is anything suspicious on your wall... Good luck!

CTRL-A   CTRL-C   CTRL-V

Maybe @Beta needs to use a different browser? 

@NukedAlfi

I clicked your link & my wall looked perfect until I logged in so I think you have identified the problem. I opened the "DOM Source of Selection" page & did copy/paste to Verydelight's messenger. However, when I tried to send the message I got a red-letter note: "Forbidden word". Is there something else I can try?

Email to me, I'll pass it on.

Thanks for your answer!

Forbidden words in posts are a very big problem here in very long texts, it's practically impossible to find the blocked word or words...

But i think it is anyway useless to send the DOM codes to verydelight, the problem can be solved in the server by GBT only.

Nick has to ask the dev or server admin for a bug fix of your wall.

@c4leb

My email froze when trying to paste/copy all this code. I just emailed a PDF. I'll try to resend the code.

@nukedalfi

I just noticed your post re Forbidden word. The text ran to 45 pages so I'm not surprised it's a problem. Thanks for your input & I hope Nick18 can get a solution soon.

There are plenty of reasons why a video (or the user who uploaded it) gets removed/deleted:
1) User deleted it - for what ever reason
2) User deleted his profile - for whatever reason
3) Video was deleted by Monitor (for underage, inappropriate, technical error, spam, offensive, off-topic...) - There should be a message comming from the Monitor who deleted it telling the user why.
4) User was deleted by Monitor  (for repeatedly uploading/posting underage, inappropriate, spam, offensive, off-topic content...)
5) Video was deleted by Admin (mostly DMCA cases)
6) User was deleted by Admin (various reasons)
7) User was suspended/deactivated/deleted by system (abuse detection, spam protection, etc.)

>  That sucks cause even the video caption stated that the individual in the video was of age, but it's whatever.

What the title/caption states doesn't mean anything, users put it, and they lie. Half the CSAM I delete states "barely legal", "18+" etc. "I Don't Ask Why Patients Lie, I Assume They All Do" (House M.D.). The rule of thumb is: If it clearly looks underage (= under 18, texas law, where the website is located. Your local legislation is totally irrelevant) it gets treated as such. Better to err on the side of caution in a few cases than letting too much illegal/unwanted stuff pass. No monitor has the time to research every single video/image: 6 Monitors have to monitor ~920.000 videos, ~12.000.000 images, ~420.000 users.

> Is there any way of preventing videos from being removed in the future?

Nope, because as you see above there are plenty of reasons why/how videos get removed.

The title "Latino beat" doesn't ring a bell to me, I dont know about other Monitors, but as said above: There is not even neccessarily a Monitor involved in the removal.

I'm glad have been working on things

no you will not get your videos back some of the mods error on the side of caution if for some reason a 18 year old porn star shaves any pubes they are underage almost always the very few exceptions are if they have some sort of visible tattoo.

What does "saved" mean in "videos which I saved a while ago"?

You bookmarked them? Added to your favs?

Plenty of people under 18 get tattoos - some parents don't care - so I would never use that as evidence of being above the age of majority.

Tattoos are no evidence but one of many indicators. In most countries you have to be legal to get a tattoo. And its also a difference if someone has a tiny unicorn on the ankle or a full-sleeve-half-chest tattoo. But as said, just one indicator of many forming a probability score.

I got a tattoo when I was 16

"... since the age restriction rule was met..."
Age assessment by monitors is based on a multiplicity of indicators (secondary sex characteristics: body hair, bone development, post-pubertal changes). Monitors cannot know the proprietary details of source sites beyond an infamous few, and it should not be expected that we could unless an uploader shared such details with a monitor first.

"... anything on the internet stays there forever..."
If you uploaded the videos to GPT, you must have done so from your hard drive or from a third-party repository for which you have an account. If you linked a video to the site, check your browser history.

HTTP server (or the DB server behind it) is super slow (close to functionally down). Unusual for this time. 60% of my connections from the Monitoring Suite time out...

@Nick18?

Prepare for more Friday Night Fuck-Ups

[FATAL]: can't connect to database defined in /admin/include/setup_db.php: ()

Yes, there must be. After about 5 minutes I was able to leave a comment on a video that had previously failed twice.

Humans should not be able to run into these limits (made for bots) without intending to do so. Did you try posting the same comment multiple times maybe?

[SOLVED] via PM - user repeated same message and ran into spam protection (non-permanent)

Lazyness in my part to think of something other than "Beautiful sexy guy with a great body" (or similar), applied that to several video clips in a very short space of time,

The were likely deleted because they were "fire" in the wrong way (e.g. underage).
