The image uploader has had a few updates made to it. The main update is that uploaded image names are now the same as what you uploaded. Previously, a random hash was generated and used to rename your uploaded image. That hash made it damn near impossible to reorder the images if you needed them in a specific order. Now, it should be much easier to do. There's a lot more technical mumbo jumbo going on, but as long as it works, I think everyone will be pleased.

Let me know if any bugs are found or if you run in to any problems.

Hey Bobby. Sometimes, I load an image that was used in a PM or post. Later, I want to use that image again and since I don't know the code or link to use (like I can by viewing MY PHOTOS in tinypic), I upload it again. I suspect there may have been times they were uploaded even more than that. If there is an easy way for us to pick from say, a member photo album or image depository where we can just click the a link to add to post, we could prevent uploading the same image more than once and maybe straining storage space?

That's a really good idea, Norm. I did something similar for my custom blog program a few years back. I'll see if I can implement it into the phpBB software.
