Yea sorry, I will add it back later, it got erased when we did the 3.3.3 upgrade yesterday

Admins/Mods can always see you, but no "regular" member can see you if you have a * by your name. And sorry I have not had a chance to look

Sorry about all the downtime, the upgrade to 3.3.3 did not go as smoothly as planned.

oooppss, sorry we were trying to debug a different issue. Let me turn that off

our provider had capped us to 10mbit, that is one of the reason the site would stutter (like hang) because it was hitting the limit and needed to wait until the bandwidth dropped to proceed sending data. Its fixed now though (although itll be expensive )

Again can you link us to your original huge image and I can play around with it as my own avatar? Thanks.

Not really, sorry. My avatar is a huge pic and it look ok to me

Can you please PM me the picture in question so I can test it out to see what you mean? Thanks

OK we are on the new hardware. Hopefully its faster. Please let me know. I will continue to tweak the settings to improve performance. I will also ask our bandwidth provider to see if he can increase our bandwidth as we are hitting capacity.

You may want to check under your Notification Options in your profile

I only see two entries in the maillog. Perhaps you have disabled email somewhere in your profile?

Got the new hardware BZ will be offline for 15-30mins while i install it later this afternoon. And we probably wont be live on the new hardware until tomorrow sometime (need to move millions of pictures over...)

^ Can you please link us to that post? Thanks.

Strange, if you can link me to a big image I can take a look. Thanks. Please try again

Testing Huge files FIXED!

welcome Regarding your sig / avatar question yea there is a thread somewhere (I think in general discussion ) to request avatar/sigs from one of the pros

We will be upgrading to faster hardware on Friday night. Pure SSD's, hopefully that solves most of our performance issues. Will be interesting to see how fast they are

BZ has been depressingly slow latey. Right now, I'm using a slow Internet connection and it's taking me forever to open a single thread/topic. And i'm using the same internet to browse another fashion forum, and it's working fine there.I think that to make things better, we need to stop using those pictures (I don't even know how it's called) that everyone has which appears under every post a member makes. I don't get it, and I think it's contributing to the slowness of the site.We shouldn't also be allowed to quote picture. They makes pages even slower. Quoting a picture is basically posting the same picture u quoted all over again. You can disable Signatures and Avatars if you wish. Click on your name at the top right of BZ then click on "My Settings" and then "Ignore Preferences" . Then you can do Ignore all avatars Ignore all signatures when reading topics Click save and that it

Strange, if you can link me to a big image I can take a look. Thanks.

Link plz? And those images are not on BZ so nothing I can do to make them load faster but maybe its a setting only allowing X thumbnails per posts. If you send me the link I will take another look.

The software did that. I am working on getting a resolution in place. (this issue has been brought up multiple times in this thread)

Have you tried to refresh the page? Perhaps CTRL + F5 to do a fresh get of everything?

huh? can you please post a screenshot or something. The font's seem fine to me. And what symbols in particular?

I played around with the setting a bit and I think I got it working better now. It should reduce the size automagically to 150x150 so that users dont have to download the full size image. But you can still upload a large image and it will auto shrink down.

Anyways once we get the SSD's I think itll be a lot better. And once I get varnish it will be better still (since all guests will no longer hit the DB )
