Hi, looking for something to be added to this image hosting site.
What do you think from its load and look.
Cheers

Like the design, a few things I would modify:

1) Blend the text boxes in with the template theme.
2) Create a custom "Browse" button with the same appearance as the "Upload"
3) Add a "Add upload box" button/text to create a new upload box on the page

1) Will consider this also currently doesn't looks that bad.
2) Yeah, didn't think of that.
3) Well the more+ button does that.

Great feedback. Thanks a bunch amplify.

Oh, you mean that huge blue button that I apparently didn't click?

I thought it was more options or something different...

Is it image Hosting or image codes for users ?

Are you going to allow users to store their images like photobucket ?

It allowes you to upload images and provides the image codes and url. Just like a normal image host. And you don't need to reg for an account. Free simple and easy to use and images will be kept of almost eternity.

I uploaded an image (of a pretty girl). Now how do I go look at it after exiting the page and reentering ? Where is it saved ? tks

Not possible.
Once you've uploaded the pic only you know the link. Copy paste at least the url of the pic.
Its very easy to use. If you want you can try and re-upload but this time remember to take the code

You should announce that on the home page. it would more conducive to keeping visitors, would explain the purpose of the site. At first glance of the home page, it appears the images go into oblivion. Also the "huge blue (more) button" does nothing in mozilla. Edit: I was wrong. I just see what it does now! Guess it's too early for me.

I would also reduce the size of the header. That thing is huge too. The width is fine, but the height is excessive.

Thanks for the suggestion it was made huge for a reason but will think about that later. Adding a short description about the thing you mention announcing at the homepage.
Something like ~ Remember to take the URL code as there is no turning back.
Would that be ok?

Umm... ok added to homepage.
"Remember to save the image code after you upload as there is no turning back."

That reminded me, possibly you could add a "your email" text box to the page which would be completely optional and added in your privacy policy. The email would strictly be used to send an email containing the image links the user just uploaded, then be forgotten.

Just a suggestion.

Looks like a cron job. Will think about that though. Thanks for that.

I like the color scheme, the interface and the design in general, but I think you should get a proper, matching logo and not just colorized text.

Lol.. no comment about that.
Simplicity is the key here.

Wouldn't require a cron job. Just validate the email address and send an email containing the links soon as they're generated within the code. Probably 3 lines of code at the most.

Will it increase the server load?

Nice design with minor and simple functions. Uses imageshack.us servers, and 3 years late to start an image host.

Saves space and bw.
The site was developed a long time ago. Just recently seeing it a bit as it seems to gather some users.
Not that interested in image host actually eventhough I do co-own a image host script.

Unless you're getting 100s of uploads a minute; and the user elects for an email containing the links, no. There may be a setting of X emails per minute on your server, but they would just stack up in a queue until they're all sent. I doubt there would be a problem.

On the main page:

Email the links? Yes: <input type="checkbox" name="send_email" value="checkbox" checked="false">, Email Address: <input type="text" name="email_address">

A seperate file, "validate-email.php"-- include it in your header (include "validate-email.php" or include it into your functions file.

PHP Code:

<?php
function check_email_address($email) {
    // First, we check that there's one @ symbol, and that the lengths are right
    if (!ereg("^[^@]{1,64}@[^@]{1,255}$", $email)) {
        // Email invalid because wrong number of characters in one section, or wrong number of @ symbols.
        return false;
    }
    // Split it into sections to make life easier
    $email_array = explode("@", $email);
    $local_array = explode(".", $email_array[0]);
    for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($local_array); $i++) {
         if (!ereg("^(([A-Za-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-][A-Za-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~\.-]{0,63})|(\"[^(\\|\")]{0,62}\"))$", $local_array[$i])) {
            return false;
        }
    }    
    if (!ereg("^\[?[0-9\.]+\]?$", $email_array[1])) { // Check if domain is IP. If not, it should be valid domain name
        $domain_array = explode(".", $email_array[1]);
        if (sizeof($domain_array) < 2) {
                return false; // Not enough parts to domain
        }
        for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($domain_array); $i++) {
            if (!ereg("^(([A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9-]{0,61}[A-Za-z0-9])|([A-Za-z0-9]+))$", $domain_array[$i])) {
                return false;
            }
        }
    }
    return true;
}
?>

Somewhere in your PHP script where it echo's the link. Replace the variable $link with the one in your script.

PHP Code:

if($send_email) {
   if(check_email_address($email_address)){
       mail($email_address, "Your Image Links", "The links for your image are: $image_link_1, $image_link_2");
   }
} 


I think that would be a nice addition, I haven't seen it anywhere before and I always forget to save mine...
