Well I should've done this a long time ago, but I think this would be a good addition to the site/forums...

A photo gallery that all registered (forums) members have access to in order to post their party pictures. It's no secret that a lot of you attend the same parties and would like as many pictures from the same event as possible - but co-ordinating that online involves emailing stuff back and forth, finding servers that allow you to post images on/link to them - etc. All that is a huge headache.

Enter photopost:

- Users can upload photos to a category or to their own gallery
- Users can upload multiple photos within a zip file
- Post comments about photos
- Users can create personal albums
- Search by keyword
- Rate photos on a scale from 1 to 5
- Edit or delete user's own comments
- Edit the description of user's uploaded photos, or delete their photos
- Users can choose to be notified of new posts to their photos or photos to which they want to subscribe (email notification). (great for big parties!!)
- Sort thumbnail display pages by most active, by date, and by number of views
- Uses time offset and 'posts per page' user preferences from vBulletin user DB (when in use)
- Multiple image uploads via FTP with automatic thumbnail generation
- Approve/Reject uploads before they are viewable by users (can be disabled)
- Bandwidth/diskspace friendly: choose to save user uploads (of any size) as thumbnails only, turning off large images.
- Set user disk space limits
- Set max file size (in bytes and in pixel width/height) of uploads
- Allow/disallow unregistered users to upload photos and post comments

- MySQL database driven
- Can use vBulletin 2.0.3 (and all newer versions) user database
- ZLIB compression support to speed page loading, reduce bandwidth
- Supports JPG, GIF, PNG, and TIF file formats
- Automatic thumbnail creation
- Thumbnail display pages show details for each photo such as filesize, user name, date, number of times viewed, and number of comments.
- Images stored on disk in a directory rather than in the database, which allows them to be cached by browsers, saving bandwidth.

Here's a working example:

Hardly Davidson Forum

Cool?
