Yes, it's a little confusing over the phone. Cheers again A&M for the post and the link. We love you!

Fixed now. Sorry about that, we were having a problem with our new server. Fixed now.

I might add to the list of things learned: (5) Use amazon s3 for media. Our three servers were getting hit hard last night (40mb/sec bandwidth) and were running very slowly. in fact, we got more hits last night than we've ever gotten. Having already implemented all the optimizations we knew, we bit the bullet and installed s3 (it was a lot easier than we thought it'd be) and our app is working great. It turns out most of the bottleneck was the network card. Offloading that to s3 has improved things tremendously. Right now it looks like we'll be plowing through about $20 worth of s3 bandwidth per day (you do the math). But you compare that with the $200/day we were doing and it sounds much better!

It's not one of those incremental, let's-if-this-works ideas, but a stroke of genius! It would be interesting to hear how Bryan & Brian came up with this. Likebetter is brilliant!
