Hello everyone!

Since the last announcement about image servers, I have unexpected and actually received an offer. RKenshin has generously offered us to use his (business) network to distribute the images.

What this means:

• More distribution nodes, including Asia! The biggest boost in speeds should be felt by Asian users as the CDN offers nodes there--something we couldn't do due to costs until now. (Side note: optimization is not yet complete, still copying over some files to singapore location)
• Reduced cost! Over long term, if we are able to load more and more onto RKenshin's CDN, we'll be able to reduce the server costs that we currently pay, which in turn means even less ads that need to be on this site.

How to use it:

• When reading, press the gear icon and select CDN, then submit.

Please note that this is a testing phase, but should be fully functional. Any issues you see with this should be reported here so that issues can be resolved.

I would like to welcome everyone to try it out and tell us how it works.

If you didn't notice anything... good. If you did, some explanation here:

In an attempt to fix forum permissions for guests (they weren't able to access newly created comic forums)  setting for the content databases were erased and didn't feel like being set again.

Long story short... IPB really doesn't handle lots of forums well but I found a workaround and everything should be working as intended again.
