Uploading new files may be a bit broken at the moment, will have a look at it in the morning.

..What I dont like about the new uploaded is, it makes the files automatically saved when clicked.. what if I just want to view it in a bigger resoultion? And then click properties and get the location of it ?

KnOt: we had to do that because people where hotlinking to files and images from outside the forum. The new system stops them doing that and stealing our bandwidth.

palloco: what do you mean "everything is broken"?

Well, yesterday I needed like half minute to load main page.
Now I still needed a lot of time but the pages of the forums now render at half time. I will check it later how this work.

Well, from this 10 mbit connection and internet explorer 6 takes 15-20 seconds to load any page. Render time is between 0.3 and 0.4 secs.
The weird thing is when I do ping soldatforums.com all 4 packets are lost(it works with other webs like google: 125 ms)

Pings are failing as ICMP is being dropped by the hosting companies router, so we're unable to use that to trouble shoot their internal network :/
