Upload Bug
Page: Special:Upload

Problem: When uploading some files (usually with somewhat long file names (10+ characters)) I get this message: Could not copy file "/home/zeroliv/tmp/phpRAR4o6" to "/usr/home/0chroot/zeroliv/home/zeroliv/public_html/guildwars/images/0/06/BogSkaleBlighter.jpg".

Comments: Seems to happen every time I try to upload the file "BogSkaleBlighter.jpg" with another file that was having the same problem I managed to upload it by shortening the file name.

Image loss
Page: Some images

Problem: Ok, some of the images that were in the wiki have been lost. Their filenames are there, but they are gone. As an example, check out Necrid Horseman and the image Image:Necrid_Horseman.JPG. I know I uploaded this image a few days ago and it shows it in the logs, but the image is poof, gone. The same for Shard Wolf and Drago's Flat Bow and the Arid Sea (which I fixed). Also Vigorous Spirit and Mend Ailment.

Comments: Please investigate. Files were corrupted? File were lost in the upgrade?

SQL error
Page: User:Skuld

Problem: Tried to preview my page, got this:

A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:

(SQL query hidden)

from within function "MediaWikiBagOStuff:_doquery". MySQL returned error "1062: Duplicate entry 'zeroliv_db5:messages:Bad_image_list' for key 1 (localhost)".

Everytime I've gotten this, it's been on a page with a bad image. --Rezyk 04:51, 29 October 2005 (EST)

Mis-floating Categories
Page: Previewing some pages.

Problem: Sometimes in preview, the bar showing the categories will float on top of the edit box for the article.

Comments: This is reminicent of the old problem we had with the About Disclaimr bar. I am sorry, it does not appear consistently so I cannot pin one article where it always happens.
