That shouldn't make any difference. It seems the server is hung up on generating the page in the first place, not hung up on serving images.

From the FRC Twitter feed (FRCteams)

Friends @andymarkinc are working with their webhost to determine and fix the issue. We'll update as we know more.

#FIRSTChoice is experiencing technical difficulties where no one has been able to access the site. We'll update as we know more.

Looks like I am not going to be able to get the 5 flux capicitors that my team needs ... I just ate a pound of xmas cookies in frustration waiting to log in.....

I think it is time to put a fork in it. It's cooked.

I agree that the process need to be restarted at a later date with a BETTER plan. I was hoping to be done and out by now.

Put a note up on the main page and let everyone know it will start over later... in the week...working.

Can't add more rep to sanddrag

I agree.

For an organization that has a purpose of Inspiring and Recognizing Technology, we should have a better way to get 3000 ish teams to be able to order a few parts each.

Right with you, Dave!

If only peeps stop pinging and other DDoS attacks ... May be the competition... OMG once again we go through this pain, may be it's all worth!
