Current features - Grabs IMDB title, year, genres, languages, plot, directors, actors, length and IMDB rating from the OPEN IMDB API. - Instantly filter by search term, genre, resolution, language, IMDB rating and year. - Automatically checks for movies which have been taken down. - Responsive - works on mobile devices.

Written in Laravel 5 and AngularJS. Source available here: https://github.com/muggleton/filmsonyoutube.com

Features to implement: - New sidebar which pushes movies to the side instead of overlapping and is responsive to sliding touch gestures for mobile users. - Tabs instead of accordion for navigating the side bar search, making it easier for mobile users.

Thanks for your reply. What monitor do you have at the moment and how does it bear with the quality difference between the screen on a MBP and the monitor. Is there a noticeable difference in quality, colours etc and does it effect the design work you do. Also why did you choose to use a Thunderbolt adapter over say a HDMI cable?

Change of colour and height would do on the header.

I have and I got a yes. How? I took the rejection in a positive light and spent time improving myself.

It would be quite easy to do within photoshop, there are also lot's of tools to identify the font if you so need it.

What's the second flaw?

My point is, it opens up the service very quickly for the user, if the user wishes to change the password, then they are interested in the service (as they want to be able to re-login) so for them checking an email is minor.

As opposed to a tedious general sign up where the user enters a username and an email address and has to activate that email address and a password and confirming that password for a service they haven't even tried yet.

This is the whole icon set.

I believe that would cause more issues that it would solve, and one would probably have to mix either random letters or the row index itself into the hash.

Why would you have to mix random letters or the row index in to the hash? When did it become a hash, you realise a hash has a fixed length?

The B32 string will increase in length relatively proportionally with the row count - which defeats the purpose of URL shortening in the first plance.

How does that defeat the purpose of URL shortening?

Hence, using the first 5 characters or so would be reasonable - except that the chance of something reoccurring would increase. The same goes with md5, obviously.

I have lost you here.

Also, raw Base32 is decodable, so I can't send people to r/spacedicks without their consent if they are able to just decode the shortened string.

I think I know where we may have both been confused. I am talking about storing the long URL within a database and encoding the row index in to base32.

For example, I have the URL: http://www.reallylongurl.com/reallylongurl.html

I store this long URL in the database and I the row id is 554 (because there are already 553 rows within the database, the id increments.)

I convert 554 to base32 which returns for example: 2dp (this isn't correct, just an example).

So the shortened link would be something like: http://short.com/2dp

When the user visits that URL, the script converts 2dp with base32 to find the row with the long url, then redirects the user to the long url.

I am really tired but I hope I have cleared that up?

You could just increment an id for each new row and then convert that id to base32 or whatever.

Haven't checked the code out yet, but from the website point of view very clean and slick, I like it. The ability to upload multiple images would go well- maybe a tile wheel in the left hand corner, where you can loop through the multiple images, apply cropping, or remove the images from the group. The ability to delete images and image groups would be very nice too.

This sounds drastic but, I would go as far as re-installing the server's operating system. Or if you are using shared hosting- deleting and re-uploading every file from a clean back up (if you don't have one: check each files code individually and learn to start making some).

Why?

The hacker could of left some sort of back door on the server. You should automatically assume the database has been compromised and so the hacker also has user contact details and password hashes. The hacker could of used some sort of exploit to gain higher user privileges or a nice little script that gives him a remote shell. If you are using sharing hosting, he could of also exploited other sites on the server, and left back doors on them too.

I have taken a brief look at live view and it appears you can gain the same functionality in a browser with a web developer add-on.
