Are we rationing "Likes" a.k.a. "hearts" again?

NOOOOO! Not my “Banned” user card background. ;-;

Something with the database which I would believe him on. This is Discourse’s biggest instance so we tend to stress test things.
I was wondering about the usercards and profile backgrounds as well.

Hey @orenwolf can we get a better technical explaination here please?

I still have my user card elsewhere, but lost it here around the time we started losing images, so I assumed it was related and maybe just not fixed yet.

Edited to add: when I go to edit my profile, it shows my user card image is still there, it just doesn’t show up on my profile. Which is odd… but I don’t program so I can’t explain it.

@orenwolf @codinghorror:

not sure where in this instance you need to update the file host name location, but yeah, probably needs to be done.

I love that orb but I would take a sobering 10°F over a lobotomizing ninety-whatever-the-fuck°F it is right now where I am.

You Pacific Northwesterners, of course, almost never deal with either (nor, for that matter, the shiny glow orb itself about sixty percent of the year).
