Is there anyway so when you drag it in you can resize it?

 

[Jace]

Unless you have a bloody clever way of defining what size to resize it to with just drag'n'dropping, no.
'cause EVERY picture would have the size limitation you'd have for your photos if I changed that.

Well maybe have the option to select resized version in the forum codes. Maybe you downsize the image by half for the resized version.

 

[Jace]

There's no room for 'em! And would it resize EVERY image? Even small ones? If not, where should the limit go? Also already the images take around a gigabyte of space. And I should add resized versions on top of that?

Then again, I do have an idea of how it could work, but no idea when I'll get a chance to look into it. So not promising anything at this point.

Maybe add two spaces offering width and height (or add a slider with options like 25%, 50% and 75%) after the pic's been uploaded. When you edit those and press "resize" or wathever, the computer replaces the originally uploaded image in the database with the new one.

 

[Jace]

That's... uh... that.. No.

Yep, it appears to be down (see: my avatar).

 

[b00227783]

My signatures would not be working if that was the case.

And it's back.

DreamHost is doing the sillies again. Got a fairly severe case of this the other day. It didn't (seem to) have any kind of effect on TWim or other TW-services I "provide". Have set up workarounds for it though, planning to ask DH about whether or not they're planning to upgrade to a safer PHP version or if I ought to set up a custom installation of it for myself. Am having problems with doing that, considering all of DH seems to be down right now.

But if I'll end up installing my own PHP over, there's a mild chance it might **** **** up (hopefully only momentarily.) But will see about that when I know more.

This is really helpful thank you for posting this

 

[Jace]

Any chance of not uploading them (in the future, obv.)? There's a 'cancel uploads' button for a reason. Or did you just watch all of 'em upload before you realised you did it by accident?

The idea of this kinda was that you wouldn't end up with dead images all over the forums when the imagehost/user decides that nobody gets to see 'em. Which is why there's no delete button.

I can't see my images on the TWim page, only the one I uploaded now. I still can switch pages up to page 10 without any pictures showing, and it seems they still show up on the forums.

The only way it stores which images are yours is by making a cookie with a random ID in it on your compy and then comparing that ID to the database. Are you on a different browser and/or have you removed cookies recently?

Pretty sure I didn't make it check how many images you actually have and disable the 'next page' button then. So you'll always have that and it's clickable no matter what.

and it seems they still show up on the forums.

In any case, the images won't get deleted and the links won't change. Ever.

 

[Bromden]

I think I might have done a cookie purge a week ago. Does that mean I can't access my older uploads?

 

[Jace]

Well, not directly from the TWim page. Unless you manually add the old cookie with the same ID in again.
Your post history ought to work as well, though probably bit less efficiently.

 

[Bromden]

It's just I didn't use some great gifs I found yet. Guess I'll just hunt them down again. Or is it easy to add the cookie with the old ID?
