Beta testers needed for Zelaron's own image host!

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.

As of now, all spaces are replaced with underscores, and weird file extensions become spelled in versals. I haven't quite figured out why yet, but capitalized file extensions (.JPG) causes problems with image displayment, although they store just fine. But so far, the service is fully functional.
