ok guys...apologies for the link not working for a bit, as it is running off my home pc and for some reaosn it wont let me static ip the machine, the local ip changed and the router didnt change any other settings. im working on a fix for this at the moment, but you guys shouldnt have any problems with it from now on.

anyone want me to make it look pretty? or is it ok just being plain text?

I don't care how it looks
Thanks for setting it up freestyler.

probably being able to remove files we have uploaded will be handy - that way we can try to avoid clogging up your server.
Do you have any restrictions in place in case some jealous cordia owner trys a denial of service attack or something? (just kidding cordia guys :D )

oh, and on another note - do you do any actual work at work? You seem to be on the forums all day making image servers and uploading photo's of shiny rocker covers and the like :)

This function will be added soon. I have refrained from doing so as it will require anyone that wants to post pictures to actually sign up which is an extra hassle. I might add an "annonymous user" style thing so if you just want to quickly dump a picture up then u can do so.

There are things in place to stop that from happening. ;)

Lol duly noted. I tend to make it look like im doing work by programming stuff for the forums but i actually dont get much work done :D lol my work isnt very hard so i can do what i have to do in about 2 hours and then get cracking on starion stuff :D lol ill make the picture sending thing nice and pretty and add in some "user login" things so you can get rid of pictures that you put up there.

I'll post up here when it is done, and how to get an account to view and remove pics...

*goes back into programming cave*

hey guys if u have problems with the server tonight its cause im adding some new features so all u randoms cant post files with no names, etc :D

fr335tyl3r · Post by **fr335tyl3r** » Sun Oct 17, 2004 12:21 am

UPDATED: New features added to upload script.

+ Script no longer requires you to input a seperate filename to upload (filename will be taken from your local file, ie if it is called mycar.jpg on your computer it will be mycar.jpg on the internet)
+ Script checks to make sure that you are uploading a file that is an image (jpg, bmp, gif) and if not, will not allow you to upload (this is a security feature. people with user accounts that can access the restricted area will not have this limit - this feature not added yet...in development)
+ Script checks to make sure a file does not exist on the server already with the same file name. This makes sure u guys dont overwrite each others images, which WAS happening before.
+ Text explaining what to do and how to do it clearer, especially in how to add to your forum posts (added preview of what was uploaded as well)

UPDATES TO COME:

+ User accounts
+ Restricted area
+ Ability for users to delete files they have uploaded in the past

awesome, can we now upload multiple files. As i uploaded one a while ago and i would like to upload some more, but it just replaced the old pic that i uploaded. Sound right?
Thanks for doing all of this.
:D

fr335tyl3r · Post by **fr335tyl3r** » Sun Oct 17, 2004 10:59 am

Yes, before if you tried to upload the same file twice it would just replace the old file. It will now tell you that a file already exists with that name and will ask you to change it before it will let you upload.

Multiple files at once is something im working on as well, its a bit tricky though.
