I can understand that you didn't find much about Zip2Go on Google as I thought it up
. It's just something that I would want, to replace EZPics. Although, thinking about it, it may cause a PHP timeout, so if I wanted to make something like that I would probably need to cron the procedure (make it hourly or something like that) and have people come back later for the zip file.

The idea here is to make a tool that works with the TFP and keeps people coming here, the poster can use the EZCode once created as well as anyone who views the post, I think that is the best way to do it. It also minimizes the work your own server has to do.

Yes, well, I doubt the posters would refrain from posting if they had the Zip2Go option available to them, they could even make a link at the bottom of the post to the zip file on my server for people who would want to download the set. I don't know about the people browsing the TB, wether they would all go to my phpEZPics script instead of the TB... usually you only save the pics if you have seen them and really like em.
It might be a problem if too many people downloaded the zips from my server though.
Maybe, when (and if) I decide to create it I'll make the zip2go thingee and turn it on for a while and just see how it goes... if it ends up being too much for my bandwidth then I'll just turn it off for everyone except me

If you could make a page that would include a test picture and tacked the EZCode onto the end of the pictures, I think that should meet everyone’s needs just fine.

Yeah... testing would be nice. Too bad you're not posting any more though... I posted some pics a few times, but I'm not really big on it either, however, bless the people that do post and I would like to help them as much as possible.
