ADMIN> H-Net Outage and Images in Posts
by Charles Muller
Dear H-Buddhism Subscribers,
Some of you may have noticed that there was an interruption in the email delivery of H-Net posts for more than a week, from 9/14. What happened was that the H-Net system was broken by someone embedding a large image into a post. H-Net is set up to support all kinds of images and even video files, but only as separate pages, not in posts that are to be emailed out to users. To prevent this from happening in the future, the H-Net technical staff will add an algorithm to the system to prevent the embedding of images, and we editors will also reject such posts when we encounter them.
On H-Buddhism, this has occurred mainly when people try to embed PDFs of tables of contents or conference programs. So in the future, if you want to post this kind of information, you will have to make sure it's in plain text or word processor format.
We have posted instructions for the process of uploading image data and linking to it a number of times in the past, so you should be able to find these instructions if you search for them, but we'll also try to clarify this again in a future post.
Best wishes,
The Editors
