Just an FYI for everyone:

Quite often I see people asking how to post pics and where to host them online so they can share them here. If you visit my site at http://www.actop20.com and goto the Multi Media section on the top navigation bar you can register for a free account and share your pics/videos from there. You are also able to build you own personal album if you like.

Cheers.

Not to put a damper on a great idea James but that is why I no longer run my site.  I opened it up so others could register, open their own album, and post pictures and videos...  Some worthless piece of garbage registered, uploaded a file and some pictures.  Next thing I know I got an email from my Webhost telling me my site was suspended.  Ever see the Paypal email asking you to send credit card info to verify.... They were able to use my website for it.  

Make sure you are in contact with those registering to verify who they are.  Wouldn't want to see the same thing happen to ANYONE else.  I don't have the time to monitor my website like a hawk.  Now it's gone.  Just wasn't worth it anymore.

p.s. the only reason I knew they had even uploaded anything was I received an email telling me that someone had registered to the site.  I was 90 minutes too late and I deleted the content and account immediately.  Then turned on the \"administrator verification\".  I'd had that site running without incident for more than 4 years too.

Thanks for the heads up - I have some security installed for that and feel that I can control the unwantd factor. So far my site has done well and my server is pretty secure.
