We wanted to take a moment and give everyone a quick update about all the recent issues with the site. In the beginning of december we decided to move the site over to a new set of servers to help with the growing storage needs. We did that, but there was some serious hardware related issues. A week later we moved to another server, and had some web server software complications. Well we finally got everything worked out and back to normal. You should have noticed that over the past few days the entire site running much faster then before. Pages now load almost instantly. This can be attributed from us switching from Apache to Litespeed web server. If you have any issues with accessing files or the site please let us know. Thank you.

Our love for IE6 is simple, we hate it. Nothing ever works right in it, 90% of our time is spent fixing things for IE6 only. We also don't get why so many people use this super slow, old crappy browser. There are much better browsers around, even IE8 is 100 times better browser. So from now on we are only going to make things function in IE6, features may not be 100% perfect but they will work. We are doing this so we can put more time into new exciting features that take advantage of new web technologies. All features will work 100% in IE7, IE8, Safari, Firefox, Chrome, and Oprea. We have a very simple fix for all you IE6 users, you can either upgrade your 8 year old browser to one of the above mentioned browsers, or install Google Chrome Frame. You can get Google Chrome Frame here: http://code.google.com/chrome/chromeframe/ Google Chrome Frame is a plug in for IE6 that allows sites to use the Google Chrome rendering engine within IE6. This allows IE6 to work with web standards and use newer web technologies correctly. Installing Google Chrome Frame will allow you to see and use Uploadingit.com the way it is meant to be used. Thanks

We need a little bit of your help getting a new feature working. We have a new script working fully we just have to make sure it works across a few devices. So if you have one of the following devices: RIM Blackberry
Palm Pre
Windows Mobile phone

Symbian S60
Samsung feature phones (Instinct, Solstice, etc.)
If you have one of the above devices/OS would please email test@veeapps.com and in the subject include what device you used to email on, and please include a small image attachment. We just need to see the header information, and how the attachment is formatted so we can be sure its compatible with our script and so no one has any problems. Thanks

Hello All, I wanted to give you a quick update on all the site slowness/downtime/errors you have seen over the past few days. This was all caused by a specific user uploading about 25 images and then posting URL's to these images on chinas top porn sites. In turn each of the images got over 50,000 downloads in less then 2 hours. I discovered this and deleted all the offending images. But doing so caused a problem with extremely high server load. Since a request for a image that is no longer on the server gets sent to a file not found page the resulting request is more CPU intensive then a request for a single image. This caused our server load to go up to 1000, anyone who knows linux servers knows thats not good at all. Over the past few days we have tried to solve the issue but noting was working, this morning I tried a new method and it appears to be working at the moment. I am using a specific hot linking protection on only the offending domains and replacing the request with my own image. I want to let everyone know in case you don't already know We do not allow PORN to be hosted in any way on our service. Any account that uploads porn will be banned and all images will be deleted. And the site where you are posting links will be added to our hot linking list. Just in case anyone wants to know, the image we are using to replace offending URL's with it a picture of a fat women...

We just finished our phase 2 roll out that includes several improvements. Last week did the bulk of the back end updates, today we are launching all the front end improvements. If you have not already noticed there are 2 specific changes that were made to your account, you now have 5 GB of daily bandwidth (150GB Per Month) and the max file size has been increased to 200 MB. Several new features and tweaks have also been added, most noticeable is the all new design. Phase 1 had a tweaked design, this one is all new. You will notice right away that it is easier to navigate, faster, and looks a lot better. The design is fully compatible in all browsers. The search has been refined, you will now notice a nice drop down that helps you refine your results as you are searching to better help you find the specific file you are looking for. The public uploader has been added back and is much easier to use. Just select your file and start uploading. Its great for those files you need to get to a person real quickly and easily. There are many more new features and options that we added between Phase 1 & 2 so be sure to check them all out, ranging from passworded files and folders, improved file manager, to quick look for images. Thank you,
