Picture viewer slow

The reason why it would be slow is that the FSO object reads all the files names from the hard drive, iof you have a slow hard drive on the server or an overloaded server that has allot of read and writes to the hard drive the list will be slow to load in.

The only reason usernames were used in previous versions was so because uploads were not attached to a post, in teh new version they are but because the database can only hold a small amount of data the file path needs to be kept as short as possiable.

The system is going to be looked at again for version 9 to see if any improvements can be made, like giving users their own folder and only allowing them access to that folder.

The Temp directory shouldn't contain anything, these are orphaned files from things like the user failing to actually post submit the post with the uploaded files and so you can delete the contents of this folder. A tool is planned for the admin area which will clear out this folder for you.
