Hey everyone,
For those who don't know me, I'm beetwenty's brother, and I made this site (I'm a web developer in real life).
I've been wanting to update the site for a while now. There's a few main things I want to change:
Mobile phone and Tablet friendly
The term used in web design is "responsive", meaning the site resizes itself depending on the screen it's being displayed on. I'll also lay things out for mashing with fat fingers on touch-screens. Eg: big buttons
User Galleries
The main reason for hosting images directly on this site was to make it easier for users to upload photos. I still like that idea, but we're using up a lot of storage on the server.
Instead of restricting the number of photos you can upload, I've decided to use an image hosting service in the background.
The move will be seamless - you'll still use this site to upload/view/delete images.
Your images won't be searchable on imgur.com, but you'll be able to see them with the direct image URL.
Each user will have an album automatically generated, and the album URL will be linked to on your profile page.
Anything else?
Before I start, I was wondering if there's any other features or changes you'd like to see.
Oh, and I have no idea how long all this will take. I'm doing it in my spare time between real work etc.

I've been wanting to update the site for a while now. There's a few main things I want to change:
- Make it mobile phone and tablet friendly.
- Host user galleries on imgur.com (to save bandwidth and hard drive space on this server)
- Rewrite the interface in a more modern/faster language (from Classic ASP to a C# API called via Javascript)
