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. **As a little treat, those who give at least $5 will get early access to Image Mode.** Though we're still missing quite a few converted SWFs, you'll be able to get a feel for what Image Mode will be when it's ready for prime time, and help make sure it's exactly as simple and powerful as it needs to be. **Of course, it's still all about supporting a website you love.** Give exactly as much as you want to give. If you can't afford a $5 gift right now, don't worry about it. You'll still get Image Mode once it's ready. Similarly, if you *can* afford to give more than $5, please consider doing so. I often hear how much people appreciate Dress to Impress, and I'd hope that it might be worth more than a wearable or two. I'm just one guy building this site in my free time, and I can't afford server costs on my own, so I'm so glad to be a part of such a generous community. **Thank you for your continued support.** Dress to Impress is 100% user-funded, and we intend to stay that way. Our goal is to raise enough money to be able to keep running on the upgraded server for the next 12 months, so that's $280: $360 minus about $80 from previous fundraisers. Looks like a lot, but I know we can do it. #image-mode-comments #disqus_thread - if Rails.env.development? :javascript var disqus_developer = 1; :javascript var disqus_shortname = 'dresstoimpress'; // The following are highly recommended additional parameters.
