i noticed it had been going a bit slow... good luck tracking down the source of the traffic.
 

The idiot who coded pics didn't realize he should disable search from anyone but valid referrers, as a major search engine might come along and index searches and hose the server :Q

Bye-bye Google.

Ever finish working on a fantastico installer? I downloaded pics 2.95 but couldn't get it working, mostly because of cpanel's mysql interface. Stuff just didn't match up. I'd love to get pics up and working for a site of mine.

DannyBoy from the forums is writing a super-update to the pics 2.95 code including an installer and better admin interface. I think he will post about it soon.

I wrote like half of pics 3.0 under php5 and scrapped the whole design and am going back to formula on the whole thing under php4 again.

Pics 3.0 should be finished in a couple of days, I'll post a poll like dwell's asked me to do to see if people want bzd.com updated with the new version I've written :)

That would be awesome. I wish to provide this free service to another message board that I frequent, but just couldn't get it working properly.

Hehe, well I have maybe 2 days to install it before my internet access changes. I guess I can wait for a month or so :p

Cool stuff though!

I've been working hard on it, most of the major improvements are admin based, however there's a lot of 'under-the-hood' stuff that I've been re-doing.

There's still a few new bugs that I'm sorting out and one or two people have really helped out with some of the most amazingly stupid mistakes like Upper casing etc, but it should be good to go tomorrow or the day after. :)

Thanks for the 'mad props' guys, and for the vote of elite from Dwell :)

Just trying to do my part for the greater good.

edit: OH, in case anyone's interested in why we got so much traffic over the past few days (and why it's been so slow) somehow a certain tara reid photo made it to the number 3 spot on google's image search. Please dont contribute to that though, as we're getting enough hits from it. Dwell counted almost a thousand in the past hour.
