Just like a racecar, it can do 200 mph, but requires some decent maint... and since this site isn't a pay only site, it's most likely the "goodness of their own hearts" that is taking care of maint and repairs, not a recurring billing cycle from loads of customers...

I am curious though what kind of boxes you guys are running.. :3 I'm guessing you've a raid array data server with one or two app servers? This site is pretty massive and when it's up and running smooth is darned fast, so I figured you had something pretty snazzy..

My personal game/drawing box I'm having built is a dual opteron board *capable of duals in each slot, but for money's sake, it's just got two singles, with 4GB, expandable up to 32GB of DDR2. A tried and true GTx9800 and Raid 5 SATA, with an effective 200GB after the mirroring. I hope to go with hot swap power supplies but they're not exactly cheap, but i've the case for it :3. I'll crank up the RAM once I go to a 64bit OS, but right now, I've no need for buying RAM I can't use.. lol

I understand 100% that I need to be grateful, and am, I am simply wondering in your professional opinion is there a permanent solution to the problem at hand, or is the server going to continually crash? personally I don't find much reason in complaining, I can easily say that datorrents has given me a website that whatever me and my partner are looking for image wise we can find it. if I have to live without that for a month or two in between then so be it. I want, actually to thank the moderators for having such a site in the first place, it really is very sweet of you.

Can't fix the thumbs though.
To use it you have to have the Greasemonkey extension installed and add it to the scripts for the page.

var strY = "/showimage.php?i=";
var strRep = "/displayimage.php?imageid";
var add = location.href;

if (add.indexOf(strY)>-1)
{
	add = add.replace(/(.*?)(\/showimage.php\?i)(=[0-9]+)(.*)/,"$1"+strRep+"$3");
	window.location = add;
}

Awesome temp fix!
But COULD you add in some sort of a thumbnail preview? (as in, is it POSSIBLE for you to do it?)

I don't think its impossible, but knowing what it would take to make it work, its not even remotely worth the effort.

Whats with the downtime anyway? Can we at least get an estimate on how long its gonna be like this?

Gallery is now functional.

Yay! hopefully the site stays on long enough for everyone to catch up on things!

Yes, it's back... Kinda Sorta

Unfortunately, it's going to be kinda touch and go for a while, with the issues popping up like before, where Apache gets stuck not closing worker processes, etc, and the daemon needs to be manually restarted multiple times during the day. So, welcome to the UGHHHHHHH part of life again. I'll be doing a bit more as I can, but with my school schedule and more, it will eventually get done, just not as fast as I and everyone else, would like it to get done.

Yay I can see now!

it seems the uploading still no good, even I am so eager to share some of my great find in recent time. I guess they have to post later then

EDITED: everything working, thank you very much. I can start uploading
