I may be wrong here. it was awhile ago and i am cream crackered atm, but didnt altinertia change the way cookies and sessions worked last year, $_SESSION is in the code for the form, which should keep that data in case of a failure but it looks like whatever was changed in the global variables has sent that pear shaped, something to figure out when we get back.
As for the images, 3 ways to do it.
Just hotlink from a outside site www.IGN.com/game.img and it shows it from that site unless they go down or take the image down.
I think for a tracker this is a silly way to do it, especially with 1000 of images and 1000`s of views as you are using their BW for a start, and its not hard to see who is using it from logs etc.
User downloads the image and uploads the image to the tracker server.
Safest way all around, but could be a pita if you have a lot of uploads.
user puts in the url of the image, server grabs that image from external source, puts in on our server.
Funnily enough we had this on our old tracker, DKs tracker in 2004/5 http://web.archive.org/web/200506020...ats-games.com/ this one if you remember it. Easy for the user, but again you are grabbing the image from them so they can trace it.
basically ease of use or security for images, and the form is coded properly, its just not working for whatever reason.
