YPCS service announcements

The biggest change is that we have introduced the BLOG (personal page) module - there is a separate entry on this below. The most important changes that happened in the postcard (personal gallery) module are the following:

- in order to send a postcard visitors now get a confirmation e-mail in order to avoid sending "fake" cards (and SPAM); this obviously requires the sender to have a valid and working e-mail address
- uploaded gallery images are now stored in original size in JPEG for later use as well as in resized form
- passwords are stored encoded from now on, which also means that we are no longer able to send you your "forgotten" password; instead, you can ask for reseting your password; this new process enhances security
- when registering you must provide a valid and working e-mail address; in general, we should be able to contact users any time via e-mail; if valid contact data is not provided, the account in question will be deleted
- your administration interface to your gallery (and now blog) is moved to http://www.yourpostcardsite.com/admin/
- the "Themes" page has been restructured; themes on the main page now link to a new search page in order to help visitors find the images uploaded by our users
- "adult content" is now allowed to a certain extent; however, images which might not be suitable for all age groups MUST BE denoted as such
- themes are now attached to images and not categories as before
- while registering you can also chose an alternative domain (currently only "syntaxpoint.com" is available), which cannot be modified later

- you can now ask for the deletion of your account
- our pages have been tuned for the most widely used 1024x768 resolution, even though they can still be wieved iin 800x600
- the BLOG module was introduced with hundreds of features, including image embedding, syntax highlighting and so on and so on
- EXIF data of uploaded images are now stored and displayed

...and many-many more!
