| − | :I was worried about the new episode too, so I actually purchased some emergency disk space for the server. I've just applied the changes and switched over to a new kernel, so you should now find that uploads are re-enabled. This is a temporary solution to a problem growing by the day, so I'm definitely going to try to move us to the new server ASAP. If you don't mind, could you please contact some of the other staff members and ask that they [http://mail.simpsonswiki.net/surrender.php surrender their email accounts] after deleting all personal information from it? Sadly, it doesn't look like we'll be able to offer staff email accounts on the new server. (At least until I figure out a way to override some of the system in a way that doesn't breach security.)

The only reason I have an account is because I have direct access to the server anyway.

| − | :I've noticed this before on both of my sites, and it appears to be impossible to correct. You see, server time actually is EST, which is why all signatures and Piwik use that time zone.
