Beta testers needed for Zelaron's own image host!

Thanks for helping me bug test Picaroni everyone. BlueCube, about the email part, I'll mess with syntax to get some form of checking to work. As-is, there isn't even a retrieve lost password feature, so it doesn't matter greatly. I will definitely take care of the logout page.

And as for the upload part, I have directed my safety measures at the actual displayment part. Even if someone could manage to upload a php file with functions that delete all files on the site, what good would it do them if it couldn't be run in the first place?

(And for the record, the images aren't really placed in the root)

Signed up.

You should put Zelaron in the "Links" content.

Images with a space in the name seem to break the deletion javascript.

"SpaceIn TheName.png" (1105 bytes) gives:

javascript:MsgOkCancel("SpaceIn

as the deletion link.

You might want to make it only allow image file types when it goes to browse files to upload. Just makes it easier for people (like me) who have tons of crap mixed together to find image files.

IE does not allow that, AFAIK

Okay, I rewrote the file system entirely. It took me quite a few hours to get all the details in place, but it should work now, and run smoother. I will attempt to retrieve the current images in the DB and store them as files, but apparently, lots of erroneous files have been uploaded and might be causing trouble. Either way, you are required to sign up again. This shouldn't become necessary again.

What about my pictures from 2 months ago?

i signed up... looks cool, but GIF's indeed won't woek --> http://www.picaroni.com/NeedleFighters5BIG.gif

also, why isnt BMP allowed ?

The pic you linked works fine for me.

Works fine here as well.

Also, BMP is horribly large. That image you linked:

• As a BMP: 616 KB
• As a GIF: 1.83 KB (No colors in this one, so it's nice and compressed)
• As a PNG: 3.39 KB
• As a JPG: 8.63 KB

So in this particular case, the BMP version is 33,661% larger than the GIF.

I'll just toss this link out there: http://www.r1ch.net/img-formats/

In conclusion, I'm going to guess Chruser would prefer to save a bit of bandwidth...

Actually, a BMP can be just as small as a GIF, since both support RLE; the difference is that in practice, RLEing a GIF is the rule rather than the exception, while RLEing a BMP is the exception rather than the rule.
