Server errors and high latency today

That’s what you get for eating at Taco Bell.

Both of these pictures took almost 2 minutes to load. At taco bell wifi

To be clear, the change is that we store and display a smaller version of huge Image files. If you upload a 5MB image, you still have to wait while all 5MB of it uploads before our server shrinks it down for display and storage. I know some devices let you pick a size/resolution when you upload, which may be a nice feature if you’re uploading very large images directly from your phone or other device.

I didn't have this issue until about March. Not blaming it on Corona but hey that's when everyone was sucking up the internet and I thought it was that.

BBP, that's helpful. I resized a bunch of pics today, and can look at what might have changed. I'll keep digging...

The site is having multiple server errors today and JMD has been notified.

May have to log out and back in, but hoping it's fixed...

Thanks john. I have had no server error messages since you did your back-end software magic.
