Anybody else notice a complete lack of images on the site, also the quick jump bar doesn't work

did they disable it in order for the site to run quicker and hog less bandwidth?

yeah this is hte one
they usually turn off report post and all those popup messages around this time
probably turned everything off to squeeze a bit more out of the new servers

Seems highly unlikely because:
- they are very small in size.
- they are probably stored in cache ie. you don't re download them every time you refresh.

I think that would be pretty stupid if they are doing this instead of disabling search or user list.

but there's dozens of images of various sizes on a single page, multiply that by one or two thousand and then it should have some sort of effect on the server.

Dear BoS engineers/owners.

Please be less shit and upgrade this service to the bare minimal standard, which includes a user-friendly interface (no more of this guessing game thanks, I don't know what I'm clicking on most of the time) and no more fucking 500 Internal Service Errors.

Thank you.

The total would be kilobytes in size. It wouldn't make much of a difference on server load. Despite this, they would only be serving the images to people who have never visited the site before or have just cleared their cache so the effect would be even less.
