Take your time to bugfix your scripts before you ask users to host their images. Every DPI 1.1 Final has these bugs. All i am doing is taking the responsibility to fix it. The original owners themselves offer bug fix for $30 as seen here.

To all,

Everything is Improved at Hostimage.co.uk.

It is impossible, that you will now have issues regarding, registration, uploading, storage, deleting, categorizing, link codes, storage etc etc. All user requests and related issues have been addressed by Somik, the administrator of Hostimage.co.uk. I am only a normal user here and I have used the new updated Hostimage seamlessly. It is working very well. Everything has been taken care of and Users’s choice has been kept in mind while adopting the new changes.:)>-

I LOVE THIS SERVICE. But yet, Some of you have expressed displeasure and skepticism about this service, and a few of you have sent me emails/tweets. Somik, has already mentioned that time, that server work and bug fixing was underway and yea there were some delays because of that. Which service doesn’t? Instead as a result of that, hostimage Service has been improved significantly. Also Wouldn’t you appreciate the fact that the admin has resolved each of your issue immediately in a matter of hours, and replied to each one of you?? If this is not being responsible, then I don’t know what is!:o

Guys, hostimage has been upgraded and it is very good to use and trust with your images ! Also, as Somik disclaimed, you are free to use any commercial image host, if you don’t Like it. But I am of the firm belief, that even with a commercial image host you won’t the Coolness, Convenience , Customizability of Hostimage.co.uk. Trust me on this!!

(Ignore this service at your own loss)

Great Thanks! Resizing is apt :)

Sent you email with images for frontpage ;)

Dwayne

Yes, i recieved the email and the featured images were changed to the ones you sent me. Those are some really nice images btw!

Resizing is fixed at 480×360. I was testing it at 640, but its a bit too large!

Somik,

Flaws:

1. How do you see previous comments under this article??

2. 640 x 480 ? The image value distorts the forum posts.

Thanks for that. I missed the comments option while modding the theme!

Resizing fixed.

Somik,

Do return the image resizing as before (480 or 500)
also, how does, one chnage the watermark text and position?? It shows DPI in the centre by default, at present.

Everything is done.

As for Image watermarking, its changed to HostImage now. We dont currently offer custom watermarking of images.

As for the hacking, it was a friendly warning. We have taken measures against the threats. HostImage was also moved to a seperate account as a security measure. Backups been moved to a seperate server more frequently.

Moreover, we are chaging servers for one last time. Its scheduled on 1st of August. HostImage’s image uploading will be temporarily closed during the shift so that no images are lost. As usual, if you face any problems, do report as soon as you can.

As for the new server, its a donation to HostWoot, which i am the current owner. HostWoot supports cancer research foundations by donating a major part of our profit to them. Our server owner is returning the favour by cutting down the server price by 50% for us so that we can continue donating more money to people who are searching for a cure for cancer.

Thankyou for staying with us.

URL upload error: “Operation timed out after 3000 milliseconds with 8469 out of 61284 bytes received “

Random server spike. Just one odd event :)

Our server needs a emergency network reconfiguration. So HostImage along with Somik.org and all sites will be inaccessible for some time. I’ll turn off the image uploading feature before i backup the sites (just in case).

[...] me show some works in progress: 1. DPI Image hosting script customized and bug fixed. (read more: Website Showcase by Somik.org Blog Archive HostImage.co.uk ) 2. Custom made short URL generator with password protected links: GemURL 3. Emoticon gallery for [...]

Has hostimage been shifted to a more reliable server ;) ?

The server shift is planned on 15th September. The techs are preparing the new server. Somik.org is already on it. Also the hostimage script is on this server, however it was optimized for the previous server, so the techs need to make some changes to this server before i transfer hostimage.

Server shift is in progress now. The techs finished early, so we are moving now. All data has been transfered to the “paid” server. If you cant upload, wait for your DNS cache to clear (or flush it yourself).

We will have 24/7 tech support on this server, so dont forget to report any error you find here. Thankyou :)
