What are the actual issues that you have had with the latest update?
Your post doesn’t make a great deal of sense…
Looks like someone deleted the plugin database!
Maybe they are upgrading something?
As boober has mentioned, the only major issue I can see is that the images you are posting are 1600x1200px most are about 0.5mb in size.
The best idea is to have a thumbnail as a preview, and link it to the full size image
As pizdin_dim stated, normal WordPress is unable to proform the action you are looking for. BUT there is a way to do it, and that’s using WordPress MU.
Be warned though, it’s not for novice use.
Open wp-setting and uncomment:
define(‘DISABLE_CACHE’, true);
It is a problem relating to the new Cache system.
