0 Ace Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Do you have any plans to implement drag-and-drop uploading like Imgur?

0 Nick H. Supervisor Posted September 13, 2015 Supervisor Share Posted September 13, 2015 Just a couple of things that jump out at me: There are no accounts. Not a major issue, but it is linked to my next point There is no ability to go back to your upload at a later date. I uploaded a photo, and while I copied the link when it was presented to me, if I were to copy something else I would not be able to find my upload again. No "gallery." Again, it's not a big deal, but someone has already made the comparison to Imgur and such a feature would also possibly solve the above issue of finding an upload at a later date. Allow users to browse the selection of pictures that have already been uploaded. There's no indication of a storage life. If I upload an image now, is there any sign about how long that image would be available to use? There's also no indication of file types. Am I limited to .jpg files? .gifs? Could I upload a word document to be accesible to others if they had a link? (I see that there is an error message when you try to upload a .txt document saying that such a file type isn't allowed, but where is there information about what is allowed?) But it's quick and offers a place to quickly (and temporarily) store a picture. I like it, but it won't replace Imgur for me at the moment.

0 Royalty Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 Do you have any plans to implement drag-and-drop uploading like Imgur? Not at the moment. Maybe sometime in the future.

You're totally right about accounts and all but I'm not trying to make this site to compete with Imgur at all. To be honest, I'll be willing to even sell this site if someone was interested. I'm trying to keep it as easy as possible. Actually, the reason I created this site was so I could upload images myself and link them onto blogs or forums. I never needed any of the fancy stuff Imgur has. It really just bogged the load time with all the images that showed up the on home page and I'd rather just have a simple upload box. Like I said in a post a few posts above, if I could, I would just have the "Browse" file button with an Upload button on a white background and that would be it but again, people wouldn't like a site without a design lol. Also, about the files that you could upload, yes you're right. I should probably add that. But that didn't come to my mind because I was the reason why I created the site. haha cheers mate.

0 Jack W Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 As others have said, the design is a little basic, but then again, it was originally made for just yourself. If you do want to make it a little prettier, just drop me a PM, I can rustle you something up.

0 Jack W Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Just so everyone knows - a design is being worked on; for those who suggested a re-design, what are you hoping for, exactly? I'm currently looking into 'modernising' the overall look, including what would be called 'responsive' design, but, really, it's just web design, all designs should be responsive to be used on all devices. Any specific thoughts are appreciated!

0 Haggis Veteran Posted September 15, 2015 Veteran Share Posted September 15, 2015 how are you moderating this? this would be my first worry are you taggin on IP of what was uploaded Lets say someone uploads images of an illegal nature, how are you stopping this as due to you hosting the images the blame would lie with you How are you tying back the images to a person so that you can trace/ban these people etc?

0 ZombieFly Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 how can you create an image upload site and NOT consider that people will upload dodgy content? Not being funny but that is incredibly naive and you've possibly picked THE most risky area to be naive in. This could go horribly wrong for you if you open it to the public, be aware of the pitfalls and consequences. There are people out there actively hunting for sites like you are creating here.

0 Jack W Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 So far (well, this screenshot was taken a couple hours ago, changes have been made since): Any suggestions? This was based on no mock-up design, and only about a few hours work (been super busy this week).
