Template images for system and those user templates that have been "processed" so far, are now being read from a different server. This should speed things up.

We are getting people reporting issues, but I am not seeing them. I wonder if people with issues would find that pressing refresh solves them?

The first days report shows 661,767 accesses and 0.5gb of bandwidth used, which will increase as more templates are copied.

835,000 requests yesterday, not proportionately ramping up yet, but that is because on one server we got off to a head start with all the system templates.
All the same it is good and slowly growing

and the support forum has switched over at last

On Sunday it was approaching 1gb of traffic from the templates server and over 1 millions requests.

Assuming the speed and reliability hold up, then this is a win, win, win system.

1) Faster forums.
2) Lower costs.
3) Better backups.
