There were a couple of fields (mainly image fields) that ended up becoming required today by accident and that should be fixed now. I'm in the middle of optimizing the site code to make it load as fast as technically possible for everyone (Singapore and Malaysia probably got a 10x speed up in some sections).

Part of what I had to do was to re-think how field validations are done so I replaced the old validation script with a new one that doesn't slow page rendering as much as the old one did. On the other hand, that also meant having to replace the old code everywhere where there is a field and there are a LOT of them so I spent most of the day replacing them all. Unfortunately, the process is error prone, hence the bugs we saw today. I went through them again to ensure that there aren't any more fields that accidentally became required but if you come across any more, please let me know in the comments.

And it's only Tuesday...
