Image Hosting for Ummah

I just found this online image storage which DOESN’T require you to create account to upload images/photos.

It also have a catchy tag, “Image hosting for the ummah”. Targeting the muslim population perhaps?

PROS:

  • No account required. Just upload and take note the image URL
  • Hot-linking is allowed. The image can be used anywhere, your website, blog, or auctions.
  • Unlimited bandwidth. Sounds great!!!
  • Unlimited number of images. Sounds promising!!!

CONS:

  • No explanation regarding the intellectual right of the image uploaded. Will the image automatically belong to imgspot.com??
  • Your image can’t be too popular. It will be deleted if imgspot.com consider the image is ‘extremely high usage’. No clear definition of ‘extremely high usage’ found in the TOS.
  • You can’t upload pornographic material. Well someone out there definitely will be sad for unable doing so ^_^!
  • If imgspot.com consider a material is infringing the TOS, the image will be removed. In extreme case, the user will be banned. But how to ban user if no account is required to upload image? Are they going to ban the IP? So there is a possibility that your image is banned because of your naughty neighbour

MY CONCLUSION:

  • This website has been around since 2004. They put Adsense adverts in the upload page. Your clicks might help their survival =P
  • Use this service for fun. Be prepared to loss your images/photos.
  • Practical. No account is needed
  • I will use it. If my image is removed, Photobucket and Flickr are still around as my safety net =)

So what do you think?

Just solved a simple problem but took me hours to figure out the solution. So I will just share it here hopefully it will help you avoid the same mistake.

I have few DotNetNuke modules to be improved/debugged. So I managed to install the first module and improved it. When I tried to install the second module, DotNetNuke prompted me this:

error

So my immediate response was re-edit the manifest (.dnn) file. After validated it using DotNetNuke’s Manifest Validator (apparently it’s only an XML validator ^^!), I reinstall the module. Still the same error.

Strangely when I check the Module Definition Page, the module is actually installed. The DNN Manifest declared 4 Module Definition, but apparently only 3 added. When I tried to add the fourth Module Definition manually, it prompted me, “Module Definition is already exist”. EUREKA!!! (unlike Archimedes, I was not in the bathtub and then running around the village naked. I just running around in my house, fully clothed, of course :-))

So I compared the both DNN Manifest files. Snippets from the first DNN Manifest:


    Statistics
    
        
            DesktopModules/FirstModuleName/FirstModuleControlName.ascx
            View
        			
    

Snippet from the second DNN Manifest:


    Statistics
    
        
            DesktopModules/SecondModuleName/SecondModuleControlName.ascx
            View
        			
    

CONCLUSION: DotNetNuke’s Module Definition Friendly Name Is Unique
