Hi,

I got bored so I made a free image hosting thingy

Could you please test and give feedback on it please?
Feel free to use it to host images.

I didn't know what to do for a logo so made that

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Paul

Seesm to work pretty well, only think I would say is it would be better if the boxes that contain the url once you uploaded were a bit bigger.

yhack · 28 Dec 2006 at 23:08

Changed.
Any better?

Zaphan58 · 28 Dec 2006 at 23:33

Ah yeah thats much better in my opinion.

Nice addition (if you are looking to play with it a little more) would be to have a thumbnail creation?

From a design point of view:

The stripes seem too contrasted from the background
FF & IE are doing totally different things at the moment
I dislike the 2 dashed vertical lines, I don't feel like they've got any use
Need a bit of padding round the edges of the grey boxes
how about use a small gradiented grey background, it looks a little dark at the moment

I know design isn't the primary thing to look at, but hope you know where I'm coming from in this design.

woah big image lol, so how come you decided to make an upload site? I thought it would have cost you quite a lot of money keeping it running?

Why no PNG? An infinitely better format than GIF, and pretty widespread

IE sucks

Just to help other people at the moment.
I am planning to make money soon though

Andr3w · 29 Dec 2006 at 19:52

awsome, i'd love to do a project like this for a couple of months until i join the RAF, i have nothing to do for like 3month

yhack · 31 Dec 2006 at 20:03

Started changing it...
Should I keep going with this new design?
Should I change the new design slightly?
Should I stay with the old one?

Link to just the new design: http://upload.yhack.net/test.php

Thanks again.

edit: was going to add thumbnails to the boxes showing time and date.

RandomTom · 31 Dec 2006 at 20:28

The new design definitely adds something but I really dislike the shade of blue, it looks dated, have a look on here: http://www.colorwhore.com/index.asp?Color=Blue: for some nice colour combinations.

yhack · 31 Dec 2006 at 20:39

Thanks, I'll test some of those colours out

Andr3w · 1 Jan 2007 at 20:23

the blue is too much on the eyes like gord has said, i liked it how it originaly was
