Hey Everyone,
Just a small update on the performance of Submissions. You will notice a large speed increase when loading thumbnails and images around the site in general. This is due to A. Our new media server that is now serving all the raw static files, and B. The new method in which submissions are received from the media server setup.
We no longer use PHP to connect and receive submissions, as well as handle permissions, rather everything is served raw through the backend by lighttpd media server. We can thank brandon, and chris for their work on this new system. Many updates, and was carried out without any downtime, a smooth and swift transition and a job well done.
