This site was timing out during this time, meaning that the code is correct. We will leave open to see if it happens again.

OK, so I just gave it another couple of tests using truepundit.com content:

Neither of these posts to real-Voat or preview-Voat had thumbnails... which seemed unexpected... so I also found the exact same post on Reddit which does have a thumbnail...


I then waited 20 mins and tried again with another True Pundit post to both environments:


I don't know if this helps at all, but it does seem that real-Voat and preview-Voat are both suffering thumbnail reliability problems, but from my very limited set of tests, it seems real-Voat may be less affected.

That said, yes, I have seen this problem in real-Vote a handful of times in the past. Previously I've deleted posts that didn't show a thumbnail and waited a while and tried again.

Voat uses a restricted form of thumbnails and if the destination site does not have the meta data for the page, Voat does not grab another image to use as a thumbnail. We should expand this code but as of right now this is to be expected.

That's definitely interesting. Hmm.

Oh so it was on truepundit's side, just was based on time. Interesting.

EDIT: guinness2 just posted two new truepundit links to preview Voat and neither has a thumbnail; clicking on the links the site seems to be stable.

FYI: Whatever the problem is, it's having a huge effect on real-Voat posts made yesterday.

I've never seen thumbnail problems this bad!

Should this report at this point be marked as FIXED? It seems sizing is the only thumbnail issue remaining.

Let's close this particular post as I have fixed a lot of code pertaining to thumbs that I believe was causing this particular issue.
