I've now isolated the problem behind all of the server errors and general forum speed problems - my own bodged code that I wrote to resize images bigger than 500 pixels .
Basically, the code downloaded the image from the server to get the width of it, then downloaded it again when it was viewed on the page - so essentially doubling the page-load time.
I've taken the code out and reverted back to the old size limits until I can figure out a new way of resizing the images.

To be fair it is going lightning fast for me now, so I take my hat off to thee (while pointing and laughing at thy coding blunderz)

Re: Recent Speed Problems, Errors and Image Size Issues
Is there any need to resize pics? It seems ok now and never seemed to be a major issue before.
I'm going to
Tear your fuckin' eyes out,
Rip your fuckin' flesh off,
Beat you 'till you're just a fucking lifeless carcass,
Fuck you and your progress,
Watch me fucking regress,
You were made to take the fall,
Now you're nothing!!

Re: Recent Speed Problems, Errors and Image Size Issues
Well if people don't mind the 500-pixel limit then I guess I don't need to try and figure out a new way of reszing. The reason I've got a limit on the widths is that images bigger than 500 pixels wide break the site layout at low resolutions (800x600 mainly).

Re: Recent Speed Problems, Errors and Image Size Issues
No, I'd rather them resized than blocked, I meant is there any need for a cap on size at all. That said, I do have a 20" widescreen.

Bastard, I'm only 19"!
It does tend to piss me off when I can't post an image, but it's just something to work on really, not a disaster..

Re: Recent Speed Problems, Errors and Image Size Issues
Oh yeah, totally, not like it's a major issue. Anyway I found a solution. Write a bit of code so that if anyone who has less than a 17" regular screen trys to view an image, their PC explodes. Problem solved!

Why don't, images be what ever size they are, but the forum size has a limit, so no matter what size the image is your post is the same size, and you just have scrolly bars in your post.
