Took another look and the only thing I would do if it were mine would be to add a little padding under the logo (between the logo and the main white content area)

maybe only 5px or something.

That's just a personal preference though.

#top {
padding: 12px 37px 5px;
position: relative;
z-index: 1000;}

gives this:

I have taken your advice about the logo placement but also been working on a few other bits, so far I have created a box for the upload rather then have a blending page, changed the background, added a background to the footer.

Still need to adjust the css on the page that is displayed after a upload thou.

Site now looks terrible on my screen for some reason (1280x1024) - all the text has shrunken so it looks like it has no anti-alising.

I need to zoom in so it looks clear like before but then zoom is at 120%

Also a few things need lining up, see this pic, the border for the image resizing doesn't line up with the end of the text box which and either does the Fusion logo at the bottom, its visibly out of line.

Also when you select the image resize, it would be better if the whole white background got longer with it, so the logo wasn't pushed off into the background.

Ok I have fixed the issue with the font (i think) looks like I changed the font to Myriad Pro but not the whole family, as with the fusion3k image in the box that was not meant to be there as I was testing for a banner and have now created a placeholder in the correct place.

I havent quiet figured out how to expand the box without loosing the round bottom as it is 2 separate images

Yep all looks better now :)

preferences is gone but i'm guesing you already know that.

As for expanding the white box so the text doesn't overflow it on the page after upload.

I think you either use the rounded corners as a top image and a bottom image for a div with a background of white, so it will be as long as the text is.

or use the new css3 -webkit-border-radius and -moz-border-radius and use your images for older browsers.

Ok, so decided to completely rebuild the site and add a yousendit style service (but for free!) as I required this service at work.

Here is the link to the live site: http://fusion3k.net

100 Times better! I liked the original but this is so much cleaner and easier on the eyes!

I love the new feature of entering 1 size then the image keeps its aspect ratio, entering two then it will not.

I see you also got the whole container expanding now which is also so much better than before! Very nice work indeed!

Only suggestion is for the Image/Document buttons, some different background for the active one would be good I think. It may just be personal preference though as I've always hated navs that don't show your current page.

I've hade your site in my bookmarks but hadnt been back. May I ask how you are willing to provide free hosting?

Doesnt it cost you a fortune in server costs!?

Providing well scaling network, like the file hosting services do, would indeed cost pretty. It's other thing if you don't have CDN, and you are providing content from shared hosting server with the price of couple dollars a year.

As it is now, the service probably can't handle that many requests, not as many as the big file hosts do. But David can always invest to the service and improve it. One of the possible problems with the site currently is that the images seem to be handled by a PHP script. The links don't point to static files, instead PHP reads, (possibly sizes?) and echoes the content, and the images send cookies and the file landing pages send no-cache headers.

To make the files use less resources, I would make the images link to static (already pre re-sized) files directly. The files, static media content, could also be handled using a different sub domain (or a domain) that doesn't have cookies set. Decreases the amount of bandwidth lost in cookies, and caching the landing pages as static files instead of them being dynamic could help too.

Thanks for all your input, I will be changing the buttons so they do change to the grey one when on the page.

I am not to worried about the bandwidth as I have not been actively advertising the site and its more for a work need and then needs of up to 50 users in the marketing department's.

My host gives me unlimited bandwidth as long as I don't go over the top and files sizes are kept down by the documents being deleted after 7 days automatically.

And also I will look into static addressing for the images!

Thanks for all your input!

    • Steam Summer Sale 2025 is here offering weeks of massive discounts for PC gamers by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe It is time to jump into another Steam Summer Sale. The 2025 edition of the yearly massive sale at the biggest PC gaming store on the market has just kicked off, and it is touting thousands of discounts for everything from the oldest classics to the newest releases and everything in between. The Steam servers predictably wobbled for a while at the launch of the sale, but things finally seem to be calming down enough to browse the latest sales. The front page is the place to be for anyone looking for recommendations, with it putting the spotlight on fresh games every day. However, keep in mind that the discounts themselves will not be changing and will remain static throughout the sale. Some recent blockbusters like Metaphor: ReFantazio, Monster Hunter Wilds, Sid Meier's Civilization VII, Black Myth: Wukong, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Blue Prince, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, and much more are currently discounted. Valve has also brought back the special "Deep Discounts" section, letting Steam users find the most deeply discounted games quickly straight from the front page. The page has a selection of "all-time greats" with 85% to 95% cuts to their standard prices. This time, it includes titles like Black Mesa, Little Nightmares II, Kerbal Space Program, Steins Gate, Furi, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, Star Wars Battlefront II, Robocop Rogue City, and much more for just a few dollars each. As for the duration, the Steam Summer Sale of 2025 will be open for business until July 10, giving all of you two whole weeks to try and keep your wallets closed tight. As always, be sure to read our Weekend PC Game Deals special this coming Saturday to check out the biggest highlights from the sale. If you miss this store-wide promotion, Valve's next major sale will land this September as part of a new time slot for the Steam Autumn Sale. Head over here to see the complete 2025 sales roadmap for the platform.
    • Great way to get an entire physical model of the products (i.e. end users) and better market them...definitely not something I'd want on ANY of my personal devices, but can be useful in retail shops for sure.
    • Hi all. ISP pushing me from 800Mbps to  1200Mbps, however, I want to buy my own modem. Theirs have been a bit wonky, would rather just handle it myself. Data capped at 1.2TB, haven't gone over yet (although pretty close at times), paying $15 rental, some have suggested a DIY solution. Anyway, I'm in need of a few upgrades and need some suggestions. My onboard LAN is capped at 1Gbit (I219-v and a Killer E2500), choose your poison? Anyway, an add-on NIC might be in order, not sure what to go with. Then there's the modem and router. A lot of these modems are very close in price, some supporting 2.3 - 2.5Gbit, others a flat 1Gbit that wouldn't let me touch my 1200Mbit that I'm paying. Boils down to a Netgear CM3000 (for below cost due to built up rewards) or Motorola B12. Then of course, there's my router. I bought a Nighthawk X10 a while ago for $10 at thrift, before this whole upgrade thing came up. Its ports are capped at 1Gbit, but it DOES have a 10Gbit SFP+ port. I could possibly get a NIC that has sfp+ port, or a switch that has 2.5Gbit ports. I'm the only wired PC in the house, everything else is wifi, no foreseeable new wired connections in the far off future. Or, I could get an RS100 router that would let me use my 1200Mbit connection. I've been subscribed for about 6 years, so have paid about $1080 in rental since then. It's too bad I didn't DIY since the beginning, it would have been paid of long ago -_- better late than never I guess. What's your thought on this?
