Tux, I'm not sure if you know it but there seems to be some server errors. I just spent about half an hour trying to upload a pic. I kept getting '500' errors.

Yep. Looks like there was a sudden spike of activity that took all of the server's resources. Too may things gong on at the same time, I suppose.

Sometimes, certain search engines will swarm the site using multiple bots, in an attempt to index as much information as they can, as fast as possible. That kind of thing can cause a spike like this, as well.

It probably didn't last too long.

It didn't. I got a couple "hiccups" from it then it was working fine again.
