Another idea is a photo gallery that you can upload your pictures to. Obviously you can upload images to this forum, but a photo gallery would be a way of organising things a bit more neatly. I'd probably have to enforce some sort of limits on the number of photos/galleries a user could upload.
Would that be any use?
Would it give us anything that Photobucket doesn't? You could find yourself using enormous bandwidth if you host the picture storage and it is so easy to create a free Photobucket account. If it were me I would not get into it apart from avatars.
Point taken. I supposedly have unlimited bandwidth on this hosing account, but I wouldn't like to test that. I will maybe look at hosting pictures off site, if I can integrate it nicely.
