If I remember well Ranma said he would ass this as a plugin

Here is an htaccess file that will disallow hot linking to these uploaded files from anyone but the URLS you specify. Copy this to a blank file, name it .htaccess, and drop this into the imagehosting folder. Works for linux servers of course, cant support this, just trying to help anyone who wants to limit these images being seen to only their site/forums.

how can i view members images if they set them private?

[DementedMindz]

I have been tryin to make this work on the new thread page so far i have it pretty well set up i just have to figure out why it keeps tellin me to enter in a title/subject hopefully tomorrow when i get up and aint so tired i can get it or if someone wants to try to get it here is what i have so far... i been testing it out in the new thread template and hopefully tomorrow i can get it to work i may even try ajax or something to show the url right on that page...

<fieldset class="fieldset"><legend>Upload Your Images</legend>
<form method="post" action="vbimghost.php" enctype="multipart/form-data"> 
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> 
<tr> <td> <b>Image to upload:</b><br /> 
<input class="bginput" type="file" name="upfile$count" size="30" /><br />
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="uploadfile" /><br /> 
<input class="bginput" type="submit" value="$vbphrase[vbimghost_hostit]" />
<input class="bginput" type="reset"value="$vbphrase[vbimghost_reset]" /> 
</td> </tr> </table> </form>
</fieldset>

It would be great if it were possible to only add the watermark to images that are show outside of the domain this add-on is installed on.

For example, when my users look at the images on any http://outdoor-photo.net page, no watermark would be shown, but if someone were to link a photo to say vBulletin.org, then the watermark would show up.

Also, it would be important that the watermark is only added to images of a certain size, so that someone who uploads a 20pxx20px image doesn't get a 120x15 watermark slapped onto it.

Umm, that would make things a bit complicated, the watermark is added on image creation/upload, so it would have to recreate all images, I don't even think it's possible...

Can you give us what you are intending on releasing or features you are working on?

I can probably tell you which ones would be the most important
