PSA: pics.bbzzdd.com 2.99 up and running!

[Extrarius]

Nice feature list on the upgrade, but there are few small problems:
1) It doesn't properly set the background color on many pages, so (for me at least) they end up having a few white boxes with a different color background
2) It looks REALLY ugly =-/ Fixing the previous might help some, but not enough
3) It seems to run quite a bit slower (>3 second load time where before it seemed instant)

Just reading the title, I thought you're going to start charging $2.99 for service.

Haha no, bzd will always be free

DannyBoy, will you be releasing it to sourceforge soon (if ever)?

Wait, Dan, did you give dwell the code you had been working on at your site? So that pics has some of the same featuers you just implemented?

Just noticed the icon linking to the appropriate Anandtech thread for each image is no longer appearing.

Feature removed? Or am I just not looking deep enough.

1. I am grateful for your free service
2. I'm not a fan of the new look

It's been taken out temporarily while it's moved to a generic referral system.

If you can pm me the names of the pages that aren't displaying correctly for you I'll fix it.

It's the same codebase that's on mine.

Yes, there's a lot of new features I've been working on Testing that I'm going to implement over the next few days.

Great update. One thing I was wondering, and maybe I'm just missing it, but is there or will you ever put the capability to browse other user's galleries? In other words, be able to click on a user and be taken to their gallery, perhaps from a list of users, or doing a search for the user name, or even just a link where their name is shown next to "by user". It would be nice to be able to browse user galleries.

http://pics.bbzzdd.com/users/usernamehere - it's been enabled.

One thing about that I don't understand though is... what order is that view sorted by initially ? I see it's by rank, but how are they ranked ? Seems it's totally random.

You mean I have to type? How... pedestrian.

I'll be introducing a feature to navigate users too.

Nice work guys. One comment/suggestion: Add an option in the user profile that allows you to disable allowing people to browse your pictures like a gallery (from http://pics.bbzzdd.com/users/dannyboy that is). I imagine not everyone wants to get that public, but it certainly is an excellent feature.

 

[StageLeft]

Looking good! I can't get it at work, so I need to check it out now that I'm home...I liked that pic

 

[NFS4]

What happened to the link next to the pics that would shows you what thread the pic came from?

Dan said he was making the software less AT-specific so it will be more user/admin friendly for other sites.

bzd.com will have that feature put back in shortly.

Yup, it's already on the drawing board

New Feature: Under your HOME listing, the "Download All" link has been removed and replaced with a "Download" button in the bottom right.

Now you can download the 'selected files' in your user directory.

If you wish to download all files, you can still do so by selecting the "Check All" checkbox in the top left.

More to come.
