I just thought I'd cross post a forum thread from our site about an site upgrade we're going to be doing tomorrow afternoon (Australian time) as I'm pretty sure a lot of you guys who upload to PhotoDune are checking these forums much more often than ours ;-)

http://photodune.net/forums/thread/ruby-upgrade-around-noon-16212/59473 is the thread about the upgrade. I figure you'll all need special notice, as while the site will be down for a little while, I'm expecting the FTP and item import system to be down longer as the way they tie in together to the main site is more complicated and will take us longer to do the necessary work.

I'll be checking back here in the hours after the upgrade just in case, but I'd really prefer if you're a PhotoDune contributor and you find a bug/problem with our upgrade that you post it against the original thread on our forums (as it's all just a bit easier for us to manage stuff in one place)

Hey luissantos84,

I'll start digging into our error logs on the servers and see if I can find out what's going on.

I know a few authors have had some stability problems with PhotoDune, especially around the FTP/web form combo, and I just wanted to quickly apologise for that. It turns out working with photos at the rate you guys can all upload is a totally different ball game to things like web templates and the like on our other marketplaces, so we're on the back foot a bit.

Usually if you're having technical problems, contacting [email protected] is your best bet, all technical issues get assigned to the development team directly after a first pass over by the support staff.
