Really bad server issues on this site!

Okay, for the past 3-4 days, I have ran into so stupid server issues and it just caused me to triple post. Somebody needs to fix this crap ASAP!

It seems during maintenance the permissions for uploading attachments were revoked.

I hope Featured Posts can be fixed, though. I really liked the idea.

Except all the arseholes who featured their own posts for no other reason than just to increase their counter.

I'll have to ask @tj_cool to look into it

well, anyhow, it seems like the problem was indeed the strain caused by the Featured Posts add-on.
it has been temporarily disabled, we will have to work on it a lot before we can re-enable it.
as it turns out the add-on wasn't entirely coded by us (we took an existing add-on and modified it) we will have to review the original addon queries
