I have added a group member but when they sign in they can see my folders but if they click on them it says this file is private. The user I have set up is a moderator....and I have set up all the other iptions correctly as far as who can see the group. Any ideas why these are still showing up private even though the group user is signed in under there user name that is affiliated with the group.

I believe this will save you some of storage space.Im sure there are much more 800x600 images uploaded already than the custom resolution u show, or that it's more probably that people will resize to 800x600 before upload if they don't want to bother viewers to specially click the link to "real" picture. Anyway i believe you are good enough to figure out the filesize or resolution checking solution. I would also be content to see the option to disable the ability (and thus the generation) of video preview flash. For the files i uploaded the image quality was too bad or contained much errors to view anyway. Great job witht the GUI uploader. So far i only see that it do not create preview thumbnails for videos for me(those are visible normally in explorer), as well as dont create .DDS(DXT texture) and .TGA graphics files available to explorer through custom extension libraries. I would be very happy to see context-menu rename or rename in the lower pane for target file(between local filesystem and the divshare name). So far thanks for great service. Keep up the good work.

I love your service and the groups is a good idea. May I suggest folders for groups? I'm fairly new to this feature so maybe I'm missing it but it would be great if the moderators can move files to folders/subfolders to organize files in the group. Again, thanks for the service!

I believe an obvious, practical, and quick solution to that option would be an implementation of the "Direct Link" onto the preview image (Of course, you'll probably fancy it up your own way. ^_~). Then, you can still have the fixed resized image being displayed (for the faster previewing), but upon clicking on the image, it will load the original full size image for display. Tho, I gotta say, it's really nice that you guys kept the quality still preserved in it's resized preview form. In most other image hosting sites I've seen and used before, the resizing optimizations used for preview images is really crappy. It's good to see you guys care about the quality of the image shown for your DivShare users. Keep up the great service and quality of DivShare, you guys rock! Great to hear that, Rob!

The reason for this was that, although the big images look good for those of us with big monitors and fast connections, we found that a lot of users who were upping their digital camera photos (1 meg+) were subjected to a long wait and a partially-loaded, gigantic image. The Javascript resize didn't kick in until after that whole image loaded, which could be 10 - 30 seconds, and during that time it seemed like the page was messed up. We're not really planning on going back to the old way any time soon, but now that you mention it, we'll work on building some better "view the large image without downloading" options into the new download page. Rock on, Rob Hey Raniie,

Is there any plans on changing the way images are displayed in the gallery page? Cause it's very annoying having the image resize down to 750x421-res and in order to see the larger image, you must download it. Wouldn't it be more efficient to just load the full image, then set it to automatically resize to fit the window and if the user want to see it in original resolution, a simple click will restore it?
