**Soon, Dress to Impress will be able to both save outfits as images and
|
||
|
|
even run entirely without Flash**. Image Mode. It's taken months to put
|
||
|
|
together, and it's pretty darn exciting. It's the most requested feature
|
||
|
|
for Dress to Impress, ever.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**To get there, though, we need a server upgrade.** We've done our best to
|
||
|
|
cut back on memory usage on the server we have now, but ultimately found
|
||
|
|
that, when we run the processes that convert the Flash files to images, we
|
||
|
|
lose stability, and the site goes down.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**So, we're moving from about $20 to $30 a month.** We'll be moving from
|
||
|
|
[Linode's 512 server to the 768 server](http://linode.com). It's what we
|
||
|
|
need to do in order to have enough RAM to both convert Flash to image and
|
||
|
|
also run a website with thousands of users a day.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Thank you for your continued support.** Dress to Impress is 100%
|
||
|
|
user-funded, and we hope to stay that way. Our goal is to raise enough
|
||
|
|
money to guarantee that we'll be up and running for the next 12 months. I
|
||
|
|
think we can do it.
