Uploading Graphics

We are working on some performance issues with the site and for right now if you upload a graphic, attach it to your post, it will not show immediately. Don't worry, your picture is there - we are just redirecting alot of the graphics to our off site provider. It should show up within 6 hours. We should have a fix for this issue this weekend that will allow immediate viewing.

We have completed the graphic modification to help further reduce bandwidth to our primary webserver.

Avatars, Photos, and most of the icons are now loading from our secondary remote servers. Please note that when you upload or change your custom photo or avatar there will be a slight delay in the upload process. There will be a 5-15 second delay as your graphic file is actually being remotely sent to the secondary servers. Just sit back and wait until the process completes (don't resubmit the image).

For you tech savy people out there we have created a PHP script that actually FTP's the files to the secondary servers. Cool! eh?

Uploaded files, such as attachments in our posts, are still on our primary servers. We will leave them there since attachments are not loaded every few seconds.

Ok, time for pizza!
