I am looking for an image hosting solution where:   I provide a user with a dedicated link That user clicks it and lands on a gallery management page where they can upload and remove images     In addition, I want to show this user's gallery this way:   Based on the gallery ID or something, I embed some JavaScript code on my web page (so it loads at the visitors browser's run-time rather than web crawlers that eat bandwidth) A visitor loads the page and sees the gallery. I will style it using my CSS.     The above solution frees me from bandwidth usage, file uploading coding, complicated API/REST calls and much more. The image files are not going through my server. All I want is to be able to generate some unique "gallery-id", to which I will redirect one user (the "owner" of that gallery) as well as display it on a web page.    Any solution for the above?  NOT A DUPLICATE OF ANY OTHER QUESTION - please read the question.

I have a small website and have a free (shared) web hosting package but I have recently created a node.js app and I want to purchase a cheap vps with a different web host for it. The vps plan has limited storage so I will still be dependent on the shared hosting plan.  It it even possible to do this? Let's say I have mywebsite.com using shared hosting and I want to host the specific page mywebsite.com/nodeapp on another web host with which I have purchased the vps. I can't seem to find this info anywhere and I would like to know before purchasing the vps. Thanks in advance for your answers.

I have a view with a thumbnail of the image uploaded by user. I would like to setup a default image which appears in place of thumbnail in case the user did not upload any image. Is that possible? Any advice appreciated.

I would like to track visits to my Stack&nbsp;Overflow profile.  Is it acceptable to use a transparent GIF image (or other means) to get a request to my host and record visitors' IP address, time, user agent, etc.?

I have google chrome and when I upload photos to Facebook or Imageshack I cannot find a way to show thumbnails, only detail view. I also tried this in Firefox. This is quite important as it is stopping my friend from switching to Ubuntu over Windows.  Included a picture of the File Upload window, how do I  change this to a thumbnail view rather than the current list?

Consider this:   I have one fast server with a Drupal installation but this server does not have access to a lot of disk space. I have another server that isn't quite as fast but does have access to lot of disk space.   My drupal server is hosting a blog and some photo galleries.  I would like my drupal server to use the file server to store its images and files.  How can I achieve such a thing? The file server can be accessed through ftp or sftp.  I'm considering using the storage api for this, it seems like a good fit (?) but I'm not sure how to implement it. The documentation seems a bit off.  Also, the blog uses the wysiwyg module + the media module to allow for image uploads in the body field. How can I make this functionality work with the storage api?  Is there anyone with experience in this field that can help me out?

I'm looking for a simple solution to increase my website's uptime. My website consists of simple HTML and PHP pages with no database. Right right I use paid shared hosting and I sometimes find that my website is not loading.  Would it be possible to put my website on two hosts and in case the main host is down the other one would get used? What is the best way to set this up?

when I create a gallery I get this code generated yet I can;t find out how  &lt;img width="150" height="150" src="http://localhost/wp2/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/28_0120-150x150.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="_28_0120" title="_28_0120"&gt;   What function generates the thumbnail URL and how does the thumbnail image generated and cropped to the size of 150-150?  I forgot to mention: for the gallery page I use get_children, so this is what I need to work with

I'm a big fan of Yahoo's  for speeding up websites. One of the recommendations is to combine images where possible to cut down on size and the number of requests. However, I've noticed that while it can be easy to use CSS sprites for layouts, other image uses aren't as easily combined. The primary example I'm thinking of is a blog or article list, where each blog or article also has an image associated with it. Those images can greatly affect load time and page size, especially if they aren't optimized. What I'm looking for, in concept or in practice, is a way to dynamically combine those images while running them through a loss-less compression using PHP.   A few added thoughts or concerns:   Combining the images and generating a dynamic CSS stylesheet to position the backgrounds of the images might be one way to go about it, but I also worry about accessibility and semantics. As far as I understand, CSS images should be used for layout elements and the img tag (with the alt attribute) should be used for images that are meant to convey information. I could set the image as a background to a div element and substitute a title attribute for the alt attribute, but I'm unsure about the accessibility and semantic implications of doing so. Might the GD library be a good candidate for something like this? Can you recommend other options?

In the old image uploader (which opened as dialog) there used to be "Upload from web/URL" option. Now in the new uploader embedded inside the editor, such option does not exist:        Can this please be added again? It's very useful when I prefer to not download the picture to my local device first.

I don’t know if this is a bug or is this how the images work, hosted on imgur. It basically adds a query string. I added a profile pic as gif but it doesn’t work as how gif images work. If I goto the image url it works fine.  My Profile:   Image URL on profile:   Actual animated image Url without Query String (working):   Is this how images hosted on imgur work or is this something else?

Now days there are multiple viable share icons available, but they are mostly mobile OS specific (iOS, WP, Android...). I wonder which icon should I use for the web that most of the users would recognize?    Image source:   Has anyone done any A/B tests on how users respond to different ones?   Its a simple album page where you can get links for each album/image and then share it with a friend, nothing special, just popup on click of an icon.

The situation  Across the entire domain, we'd like the URLs to hide file extensions and remove trailing slashes, independent of the domain name itself (as in, works on any domain).  Sample of our directory structure  We're not using index.* files except for the homepage.   /  /index.php /account.php /account  /subscriptions.php  /login.php /login  /reset-password.php     The goal  Some examples of how these files might be requested, and how they should look in the browser:   / and index.php --> mydomain.com (literally just the bare domain name). /account.php or /account/ or /account --> mydomain.com/account /account/subscriptions.php or /account/subscriptions/ or /account/subscriptions --> mydomain.com/account/subscriptions   As you can see, there are several ways to access each webpage, but no matter which of the 2 or 3 ways you use to get there, it only shows the one preferred URL in the browser.  The question  How is this done with .htaccess using mod_rewrite?  I've banged my head against the wall trying to figure this out, but in general, the rewrite flow would seem to be something like this:   External 301 redirect ( mydomain.com/account/ --> mydomain.com/account ) Internally append .php ( mydomain.com/account --> mydomain.com/account.php )   I've been Googling this all day, read thousands of lines of documentation and config texts, and have tried several dozen times... I think more brains on this would help a lot.  UPDATE  We found an answer our question (see below).

Every other image I see hotlinked from Imgur returns a "403 - Forbidden" error.  If I copy and paste the link into my browser the image will load. Or if I delete the initial i. in the URL, the image loads.   The image will not load if it's used in a BBCode style tag, or if I right click on it and choose open in a new tab.  Do you know the cause or a fix?  These are a couple of examples that you'll probably be able to see, but I can't unless I do one of those above mentioned actions:
