As Ibo already mentioned, the sevenload team, in particular Phillip, really put a lot in taking the sevenload Trailer out of the Alpha and putting it into the new, longer Beta Version. The result speaks for itself.

Flashplayer Format Adjustments

The following statement was made about our Flash Player in a test report from the current issue of PC Games Hardware (article in German) about Video Portals:

“Unfortunately, the pixel aspect ratio is not adjusted for 16:9 Videos so that they are displayed distorted.”

Vertical distortion is no longer going to be a problem for us. It only took our developers 5 minutes to correct the setting options.

Maintenance: Will be Briefly Offline

We are expecting to have a couple of miniscule problems pop up as soon as the new system has been started and made accessible, and this will take just a few minutes to get sorted. In addition, we anticipate that externally embedded photos and the flash-player itself will also be down for a couple of seconds.

There’s a really simple explanation for the delay: our new application software has to generate an according preview photo and thumbnails in various sizes for all available photo contents. Likewise, there will be approximately 380,000 different external players affected by uploads for videos alone. No worries, we’ll have things back up and running smoothly ASAP.
