    Need to provide the proper amounts of gratitude to our tireless sysadmin.

    :D The first page load is still very slow sometimes, it's hard to debug because of it's hard to reproduce.

    Done, pm limit increased to 200 and signature max image(s) size increased to 500 x 150.
    Also file uploads are disabled for now until I do some security hardening.
    Use external urls for avatars and signatures.

    Yup, everything loads nearly instantly now. Let's hope the server load on the EPIC server stays low. :D

    I must remind everyone that we are paying a price for that speed. We are all Trickster's bitches now.

    Edit: also posting is fast as lightning.

    I pay a huge amount for this server, so I'm just happy I'm getting a little bit more value out of it now.

    It's a joke on the version number. This version of vBulletin runs on PHP 5.2, while most hosts are currently running 5.4 or 5.5 at the minimum. Hence "running out of PHP"

    I don't think it does - it's just that the old provider didn't want to allow people to be derpy enough to run outdated PHP.

    I think the move broke avatars, I can't seem to upload anything even when it fits the requirements.
    Edit: oh shit, never mind.

    pretty sure
    Epic is a better server and also empires server had so much other crap hosted on it.
    Also pretty sure moving to epic has been being discussed for some time.

    @Trickster
    Thank you for your ongoing support keeping empires going. It is much appreciated.

    URLs dont work either for avatars.
    I tested filesmelt, imgur and drop box all produce the same error I used these two images
    [​IMG] [​IMG]
    They are both under 80 by 80 pixels and 19.5 KB.

    Signatures seem to work fine.

    Ok, re-enabled file uploads avatars should work now (maybe).
