Sort of being relative.
1 - I'm in a 32-34 band. Both are fine, the 34s aren't riding up at all.
2 - Full cups are stupid on me. I'm not even going to bother anymore. I'm very full on the bottom. Very full. A full cup - by the time it fits the bottom, ... I have enough room for my other boob in the top of the cup.
3 - Cup size - well, that's all over yet. To some degree, it depends on how much awesome cleavage I want. Ok, that's the biggest part. Then, during Shark Week, I'm up at least one cup size. Freya 34GG are tight normally. During Shark Week, ha. Their H's fit exactly the same as the GG, actually some are smaller. So I've got a JJ to try. It's the $5 bra train bra. If it doesn't fit, it's back on the train. But I've got to get SOMETHING to fit Shark Week fun, and that's the week I do NOT want to be in public.
But, with my really loved Curvy Kate Thrill Me/Tease Me bras. A 34FF does fit, it's secure, I don't have quad boob going on. But there's a LOT of boob going on. A 32HH is what fits "exactly" right. Holding the wires side by side of the 34FF and the 32HH, at least in mine, the width of the wires is the exact same, and the depth of the cups are the exact same. The extra room is that the HH cup is higher. The FF cup hits just slightly above where my boobs slope back to my body when they're jacked to Jesus, which these bras do VERY well. So, that's why I suspect I'm not getting the cutting in to cause quad boob, and I'm not spilling out because it's just above the point of doom on me. The HH covers up higher by a good 2" actually. And I had to pull the left ribbon a bit tighter in my Thrill Me, or it had a minor gapping issue.
For my unpadded Curvy Kate/Flirtelle collection - straight up 32H. And I yank those straps TIGHT. As in the sliders sit on my collarbone in front tight. But, I've got a really smooth, round shape then. I found I actually like the straps that tight, since if I need to, it's a pretty easy to adjust placement if a strap is a bit too long that day or too short, I can fix it without turning myself inside out or taking the bra off.
4 - I have no shame in modification if a bra isn't working. The usual issue is the center wires are up too high. I have bolt cutters and I have a sewing machine. Also, if a band is too big, I've found I can usually take in from the side seams easily which then stretches the back instead of from the wires on me. And trim that's annoying is GONE. Snip snip. If it's annoying, I'm not going to wear it. If the bra is perfect otherwise, I want to wear it. I also have taken the straps in on 4 of my bras now, and they still support everything perfectly, but now the dumb straps aren't in my armpits.
And now I'm wondering why I was wearing a 40 something for all that time.

I've had the problem in the recent past, sporadically. I actually thought it was my connection.
Basic info about my Bratabase habits. I use Google Chrome (the most recent stable version, it's set to auto-update). I don't bother to resize images before uploading them, so they're kind of largish.
I've found I've been more likely to run into the 404 error when I upload large amounts of images in one go. If I only put up 3 or 4, it seems to be more stable. I've always been able to upload images after a few goes though.
I'm not sure if there's any other info you'd like for trouble-shooting.
Same as Ereshiy; small amounts of pics seems to work, but but if I try to upload more pics at once then tumbnails will be generated forever.
I have a lot of problems with uploading and I think it's just as frequent it doesn't work as it does. I thought it was more of a server problem of some sort so I didn't report it :)
