Frequently Asked Questions
1) The site is broken. Something went wrong. What are you going to do about it?
We have tested this website across multiple browsers and through all the options we can think of. However, there are many things that can go wrong, and we are sincerely sorry if pixtrove.com has given you grief. We would really appreciate it if you could use the Contact Us page to send us a description of the problem you had. It would be particularly helpful if you could describe exactly where on the website you where when it happened, what the problem was, and if possible could cut and paste the full URL address from your browser. You can send this report anonymously, or if you want to include your email address, we will give you an update within 48 hours.
2) I see that Pix Trove is still under development. When will it be finished?
Pix Trove is a side project that is being developed when time allows. If there is any interest in using the service, then we'll increase the time that is being spent on it. At this stage the expected release date for the production system is August 2015.
3) There are so many other photo sites out there. Why are you bothering?
A while back, I wanted to find a website where I could upload a few family photos to show to some relatives and acquaintances. All the sites I located needed the viewers to create an account and/or associated the photos with my Facebook/Google/other social media accounts and/or were covered with advertising and/or just looked dodgy. In the end I decided it was easier write my own photo upload and display engine, limiting the output to a simple and lean HTML5 responsive layout. Having put the work into creating the code, I thought that maybe others would also find it useful, so I registered the name pixtrove.com and wrote these associated admin pages. Will anyone else find such a basic interface useful? I guess time will tell.
4) Aren't you just going to end up with a bunch of scammers trying to upload porn to the site?
That's the main stumbling block at the moment: How to limit site users to people who actually want to use it for the purpose for which it was designed. Any advice would be gladly received.
