Cooooeeee!

Just thought I'd remind everyone that this still exists and also solicit some more suggestions. I have been tinkering away at it so various unseen things can now happen that couldn't before, but while I'm up to my arms in code grease I thought I'd ask!

Does the tag cloud work yet and if you've been tinkering then why haven't you updated the changelog? What sort of developer do you call yourself, honestly.

An AMATEUR one of course! The changes at the moment are nothing you people need to know about :P No I've not done anything with the tag cloud on the basis that there aren't many tags in there

Fair enough but all changes, no matter how insignificant should be documented even if they don't affect us. Cover it up with "minor bugfixes" so you don't need to explain what occurred.

I shall take the Microsoft route of updating the changelog...

Right, I'm calling on you guys to test my shitty coding...

v1.1: New Features
- THUMBNAILS: If you submit a PNG, JPG or GIF then the uploader will also generate a thumbnail (well it's 400px so it's a big thumb) to go along with the file. It's not particularly accessible right now but it's more for forum posts. If you're doing an animated GIF then it'll just take the first frame for the thumbnail.

- BBCODE: It now generates BBCode appropriate to the file type and you get the choice between thumbnail or full size for images that it works for. Just hit the appropriate link beside each of your files to show it so you can copy and paste into metro or tvf.

These two changes make it very easy for me to post this THRILLING view from my window of 3 years ago...

Code seems OK though it generates it embedded in [url] tags for whatever reason, shouldn't need to do that unless you're linking from the thumbnail code, right? Images which fall under the 400px limit most likely won't need it seeing as the [url] tags' main purpose is to link to the actual image itself so it feels redundant for already small images. Also, figure you could add something which gives an indication as to an image being a thumb as I can see people thinking the thumbnail is the actual size of any given image, even if you have to tacky it up Imageshack style there should be something.

Hang on, the thumbnail links to the full size version. The linkyness is your indicator:) The other ones are just plain links, and who doesn't like a good old link?!

Wut? So if it's too small to make a thumbnail of it just links to it? What of my Kane clap now?
