Improvements!

Good news, friends.

First, the boring stuff: Thingiverse has moved to its own private, dedicated server. This means no more 503 Access Denied errors and no more crappy Dreamhost slowness. Our new server is through Completely Dedicated. We have a 3.2ghz P4, 2gigs of ram, a 36gig 10K hdd, and I’m loving it. Pages load faster. We can handle boatloads more traffic, and we have full control over the server. Yay!

Second, the cool stuff: I fixed the rendering bug SVG files were suffering from: the black background of death on large images. All the large SVG files now have a nice, white background and look absolutely GAWGEOUS! Any files you upload should be rendered properly and I even put all the previously uploaded SVG files back through the renderer to get fixed. I’m so nice!
