Title: Picture hosting service
Post by: calamari on January 29, 2006, 03:21:39 AM
I've started a picture hosting service on my domain for those in need to post images and not having webspace to do it.
I worked really hard for the last 2 days to get the technical side working, and now it is up. Later I will be cleaning even more the interface and adding instructions and minor things, but the links created will remain the same.

I've tested this on IE, Mozilla, Firefox and Opera, and as it is now there are no issues I'm aware of (I had several bug wars to get to this point).

Anyway, you can add a small description to your images and the service provides you with clickable thumbnails and bbcode (aswell as html code) to post images in forums, like this:

(http://anfume.com/ihost/thumb/2.jpeg) (http://anfume.com/ihost/view/2) (http://anfume.com/ihost/thumb/1.jpeg) (http://anfume.com/ihost/view/1)

There's a of 300KB per image until I get more images hosted and maybe a small banner, but I think is more than enough if you compress your images in the right format (a tutorial on how to do this will be added later).

Also, the images are deleted after 3 months if they are not accessed at least once (every time an image is accessed, the clock for this image is reseted)

The url: http://anfume.com/ihost/

valid formats are JPG, PNG and GIF.

let me know how it works for you  8) (ps: no more 56K warnings  :icon_mrgreen: )

i fixed a couple fo things with the mysql dbase and file extensions when using right click and 'save image a...'

everything should be smooth now, but I need a few more images uploaded to test the strain on the script.  8)
