Metropol Upload Service 1.3
Posted: Sun 18 Jan, 2009 20.58
UPLOAD SERVICE REACHES v1.3
So, having became frustrated with the annoying commercial upload services people on the other place were using (which were clunky, had files removed thanks to the idiocy of mmtv, and of most concern, explosed our eyes to breasts of the female nature) it was decided something must be done.
So as the current TVF Upload service (the old mrtoms system) had some limitations on file size and had a lack of true security, Metropol's main technology supplier hymagumba.com has been working with interSput Technologies to develop the all new *Metropol Upload Service*
Cunningly integrated into the Metropol user database, security and traceability of dodgyness is central to the new system. In addition you can upload as many files as you like with no limits on space, and files will never be deleted unless you want them to be.
As you'll see upon using the thing, you're given a profile where all your files are shown, but if you want to hide a file from that page, a simple click of the star will remove it from public listing, course it'll still be linkable via its URL but nobody need know it was you who uploaded it.
It's a work in progress and the current system is a beta, coming soon we'll have phpbb session integration, bigger files, automatic image resizing, nice urls and loads of other bits and bobs.
Think of this as our present to the wonders of TV Forum, so they can upload files of studios, MP3s of feem choons (but no library music) and other such telly delights, and all the while, not having to use those sites with the babs on show.
So lets get testing, lets get uploading, lets get fit and get dancing and lets make TVF a boobiedoo free zone (except for those caps of her off of Look North of course)
