Today I made massive changes to the most crucial underlying parts of the site. Barely anything is the same. Be on the look out for things that are broken that used to work. Ilari reported that submission editing was broken. It is fixed now.

The quote and edit buttons appeared to be missing when I was checking my comment in your "Reply to this thread!" thread (which has mysteriously disappeared), but that may have been because turska posted a large picture that somehow became the background for my post (possibly due to your changes?).

It was his fault. He intentionally killed your browser's rendering with image overflows.

Was that what was causing the site to be so slow when I tried to load that thread? Also, why would he do a thing like that?

The site wasn't slow, your browser was. He put a 50MB PNG in it.

So if I tried a different browser, it might have been faster? Most times I tried refreshing the page, I got a Network Error or 500 error. How big was that owl picture that he posted so many times? And that browser-corrupting picture was a 50MB PNG? How is it even possible for a PNG that size to be 50 MB big?

More site code changes today. A bunch of bottlenecks removed.

It seems to be running faster already. Way to go, Nach!
