The stories on this site are great as the pics but shouldn't we be able to post our own stories and rate others stories? :)
I'm not saying that the pictures service alone isn't great but stories about muscle girls are quite nice and readind other member's stories would be really fun. Don't you think? ;)
Would it be alot of work to place a button/link somewhere (maybe in the account settings) to "mark all pics as seen"? Since I don't check out every single pic I'd like to clear the new-indicators at a certain point. You know... a similar functionality as implemented in usenet/rss-readers or email clients.
But take it easy... it's just a tiny cosmetic thing :)
I'm not looking to start an argument, it's your site and you can do what you want with it. Still, since I tend to be the type who needs a reason for everything, I'm curious.
let me start by saying I have not rated any pics on here .......
My likes and dislikes may be different from the next guy. I really like abs BUT I like to see a face to go with it, there are a fex that it's really hard to tell if it's a guy or a girl.
I don't understand-- what do you mean "although the pic was uploaded"? The error/acceptance messages only appear once the image has been uploaded.
Did the "A copy of this image already exists on the site." message appear for every image you uploaded? Because I haven't received any images from you in the past 2 days or so.
The message appeared only with the pics which already existed. But one time when I uploaded some pics, the message appeared again for one picture, but when I later looked at the new uploads, the image was in the recent pics section. but when I uploaded it the message said it already exists. know what I mean? Sorry if I can't express myself clearly, but I'm not a native speaker :-X
can you make the votings visiblle for each pic? (with account and rate)
The number of times you can rate an image is determined by IP address, not user account. That is, you could rate an image, log into a different account, and you would not be able to rate the image again unless your IP address has changed since the last time you rated it. Try it if you want.
And mayby put the rating in top of the picture, so we don't have to sroll down each time?
I like it this way-- there's less clutter at the top of the page before you get to the image. You'd have to scroll down to get to the comments/tags anyway, and I assume most people scroll down as it is to see the image in its entirety, bottom included. The rating isn't too far below that.
One thing I experienced: after uploading a bunch of pictures, the usual message appeard ( picture X already exists etc ) ,although the pic was uploaded.

Good idea, as I definitely don't have time to search for duplicates myself... Thanks
I'm working on a way to make the duplicate-finding script recognize the same image in two different sizes/qualities, which is what the problem has been so far on all of the duplicates you've found.
It's not really a cost issue right now. If it does become a cost issue in the future, it won't be too heavily influenced by allowing the limit to be 3.5 MB, as very few images actually go that high in size--rather, it'll happen because too many people view the smaller (i.e., 1 MB and less) images too many times. (But don't worry, we're not even close to that now!) And decreasing the limit below 1 MB would seriously impact the opportunity to upload high-quality images.
Keeping it at 3.5 MB sounds sensible to me for now. This is, after all, an image sharing site, and I feel giving people the ability to upload high quality images is a part of that. The vast majority of images, however, are still around 300 KB I'd say, which is closer to being OK for dial-up, and if it's not, nothing can be done about it. Many of the bigger images still only reach about 1 MB, which should be fine for cable and DSL- if you're on dialup and see an image taking too long, feel free to move to a different one or just keep waiting. On decent cable connections even a 3.5MB image shouldn't take more than 20-30 seconds, probably less.
as I said, it is not THAT important to me, but everytime I'm in a hurry and I want to click on the "forum" button, I go too far with the cursor and click "log out" instead. and then I am logged out and have to log in again ;D it's just a matter of laziness :D
You should hurry less ;D
Would it help to make the color of the log out text a different color?
There is currently a limit, it's 3.5 MB. It's just such a large limit that it barely limits anything.
This thread is to help me decide whether I should lower it to 1 MB or thereabouts.
I say leave it unless it's a cost/bandwidth issue for you. It isn't a problem for most people who know their way around the Internet, I'd imagine. Really, though, the main thing that comes to mind is that you never know whether or not there's someone out there with some Holy Grail of pictures that is exactly what you want to see - and it might be 3.5mb, and they might not know how to fix it. The point is I think you should allow for more possibilities rather than fewer (which I know might seem to contradict my age argument but that had different possible consequences).
On the other hand, if you see the file size eventually becoming a cost/bandwidth issue for you in a few years when this site is wildly successful it might be a good idea to reduce the limit now while you're figuring things out rather than later when you have more users to potentially disappoint with such an announcement.

Is it possible to make another step after clicking the "log out" button? some kind of window where you have to confirm to really log out. like "are you sure you want to log out?" or something. it is not that important, just a little idea.
I'm honestly curious why you would want this. It seems really redundant to me.

Incidentally, it's interesting to see how varied different posters' tastes are. I'm a sucker for spectacularly-ridged ab-shots, but every time I give one a high score, others zoom in and seriously mark them down ... or retag them as 'glutes/butt.'
Still, variety = spice of life, etc. I wouldn't want to see any category or style barred or discouraged, other than pre-pubescents, which Chainer already monitors pretty carefully.

rating, views and some tags.
