I have a problem with "large Albums".
When someone clicks on an attached image in a thread it takes them to /albums/123-thread-name where they see all images attached to that thread.
My forum has a thread that is used to showcase screenshots and one particular thread is thousands of posts long with thousands of images.
When I click any image and get to /albums/123-thread-name it starts loading but eventually it will results in a "server unavailable error" for everybody.
So this is obviously too much for my server to handle. It will "crash" the site for 30 seconds or so.
Any suggestions on how to handle this? I'd be ok with disabling the album view or limiting the number of images shown or any other ideas are appreciated.
Maybe it would be better to move images into the file system rather than storing them in the database?
