Hi folks - quick one as part of some of the other changes we're making to how the site works, certain assets and user-uploaded content will no longer serve from the OF server directly, but will instead come from the CDN which is backed by Digital Ocean Spaces.

Doing this allows us to have greater independence between the forum's site code and the content you submit, allows us to leverage DO's edge-caching at the CDN level, and gives us some benefits when it comes to backups and file availability, too. This configuration also allows us to upload OHM Resources directly to the same storage backend.

Please do let us know if avatars, attachments, or other assets served to you come as a 404 or an error, and we'll get on it.

Thanks!
