PHP Error on Login

[Chicken0895]

First, let me say this website and forum are amazing. Thank you Chain_Reaction for all your hard work on this.

Second, sorry to add another issue on top of what sounds like an already crazy workload, but I figured I should report this in case it isn't already known.

I hit the reply button on a thread in the chatterbox called "installing mods - did it work?". I was not logged in at the time, so of course it forwarded me to the login page. When I logged in, I got a phpBB error page that says "General Error. Tried to redirect to potentially insecure url". As evidenced by the fact that I am currently posting, it does actually log me in, but sends me to that error page instead of back where I was.

For the record this does not happen when I log in using the login button at the top right.

Sidenote: I discovered a couple more issues when trying to post this. I tried to upload an image from the error but I got either "Invalid server response" (when copy/pasting) or "invalid thumbnail name" (when using the image wizard). When using the wizard, if I clicked "OK" instead of "Send to Server", it told me the URL was invalid, even though I was not trying to use the URL section.

At least from my end, none of these issues are forum/website breaking level issues. Just "when time permits" level issues.

I think they already know about the inability to directly upload an image. (or a file) 
They have been asking people to host it on a third party server and post links for now.

That is correct, the site's upload facility is currently not functional. The site is still under stress from DDoS attacks and features like these can only be rolled out properly when things are made more stable. Image uploads were never intended here nor on the former site anyway due to capacity issues, the function (when it works again) is strictly for things like script error logs. But third party uploads with links and embedding such uploaded image links into a message board post are fine.

I get the php errors occasionally in different contexts as well. I also get Ajax failure errors upon trying to respond or edit posts sometimes, but whatever the operation was tends to complete anyway. Things like this will be smoothed out all in good time.

Ok, cool. I can't imaging how frusterating all the DDOS attacks must be.

I just realized you've probably repeated the info aboutt the upload server a million times by now. Sorry to make you repeat it again. For some reason I associated the upload server only with script errors, and did not remember that also includes images. I guess my brain was only half-functioning yesterday.

I've seen the insecure url error too. I haven't been able to figure out what is causing it though. It is related to the redirect code but I can't seem to always replicate it. I'll take a look at the code again when I have a moment.
