General site update
In the past 30 days, we had 2.5 million users and 75 million page views. We now have 3 image servers to cope with the bandwidth demands, and this will be increasing soon. Our combined upload for images is approaching 1000 Mbps at peak times. I'd like to thank all users who have contributed financially through subscriptions or one off payments. Our finances are looking good for the next couple of months, but in order to keep up with growth, more support would be appreciated!Post v3 changes
In the new reader, the image preloading limit has been increased to 20 for logged in users. This should hopefully mitigate some of the problems that people were having with not enough images being preloaded.RSS now working again. Due to the number of bots spamming RSS links, you have to make an account to use this feature now.
