Welcome to all the new users!

The system load is pretty high at the moment, due to 2,000 new signups today and we're co-incidentally in the middle of transferring our file storage to Amazon S3 (it's been transferring all day). So, sorry for the current slowdown, that should speed back up again once this transfer has finished - plus, you might encounter problems with some recent images not being visible - that will also correct itself (though it make take a few hours for the queue to catch up).

@neil was wondering about the images. Just noticed it on my desktop and wondered if it was that. As long as it’s not just me. 😀

@bgal71 Took all day to transfer 326k images - now I'm transferring the ones that were uploaded while that first transfer was running 🤓

@neil That’s totally okay. Think of it as an overwhelming Internet hug.
