The server cannot take large amounts of filesize. This is the cause of alot of posts not being able to load. To cope with this:

-Attachments are now back down to 600KB in size, unfortunatly. Using a couple 1-2 meg files will crash the thread. The large attachments also could of causes server unstability as well during this week, so --

-All attachments over 600kb have been deleted. Apologizes if I did delete some other things, but you'll survive. It will state [deleted by admin] if deleted.

-If you want to upload something heavy or 'are' a heavy uploader for images, feel free to to post them first up ad http://imageshack.us ...

-As well, I have made a simple file uploaded here: http://stellarfrontier.net/upload/ .. Which will save files in the http://stellarfrontier.net/upload/files/ . It takes generic extentions, like jpg/png/zip/rar, etc. As well, has a 5meg upload limit, But should suffice for most of SF needs if it comes down to that. However, as you read the note, if you spam it with useless junk or other garbage, I will block your IP from SF.net for a good month, as you know, the nexus runs on the same machine, so virtually, you wouldn't want to do that Wink Try to use it as a last alternative. I will clear things every 2-3 months, depending on how much space I have left on the server. (Only got about 3 gigs free atm.) So basicly, what I am saying is, I'll probably delete old stuff that is 3 months or older, unless someone is using it constantly, which I'll gladly move it or give them a bit of space on the server away from the uploader to prevent deletion.

Thanks, and sorry for any issues this may of caused. You may post here if you have questions.

And all files can be viewed as well at http://stellarfrontier.net/upload/files/ , much like a file browser.

Thanks for fixing this issue Nite, it is much appreciated.

I also wanted to add that since the SF.Net Uploader exists to support this forum (many thanks Nite!), any who abuse the SF.Net Uploader will not only be blocked from SF.Net (per Nite's post above) but will also find themselves blocked from this forum as well.

Minor issue where some browsers couldn't upload is now solved.
