Needs to run on Windows and handle Microsoft's crappy DFS. Also needs to be scalable - i.e. able to serve <em>at least</em> thousands of images per second on the front-end. </p><p>2) to replace the barely implemented attachment functionality of phpBB with something that even the most technically illiterate can use - i.e. drag a photograph and have it convert to a web-friendly version, giving clear feedback on success/failure/etc. To be hosted on Linux. </p><p>Even if it's not something I can use (i.e. closed source or remotely hosted) anything that might provide ideas for how to implement features would be good. </p><p>Thanks. <span class="emoticon e_smile" title=":)"><span class="e__">:)</span></span></p></div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41717.1&return_msg=41717.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41717.1"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41717_2"></a><div class="message" id="message_41717_2"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX)<span class="message_time"> 3 Apr 2016 21:47</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Peter (BOUGHTONP) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 3 Apr 2016 23:05"></span></span> <span class="message_count">2 of 8</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41717.2">41717.2</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41717.1#a41717_1" target="_self">41717.1</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I did some testing with this: <a href="http://www.resourcespace.org/">http://www.resourcespace.org/</a><br /><br /> Might do what you want <span class="emoticon e_partyblower" title=":-O~~~"><span class="e__">:-O~~~</span></span> , or not <span class="emoticon e_angry" title=":-@"><span class="e__">:-@</span></span> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41717.2&return_msg=41717.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41717.2"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41717_3"></a><div class="message" id="message_41717_3"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Peter (BOUGHTONP)<span class="message_time"> 3 Apr 2016 23:25</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 4 Apr 2016 06:05"></span></span> <span class="message_count">3 of 8</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41717.3">41717.3</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41717.1#a41717_2" target="_self">41717.2</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Thanks, that looks interesting. <p>The main downside (from a quick look) is that it appears to be extendible via plugins rather than having an API.
