- Email addresses shouldn't be displayed on the members page. It turns your site into a spam-harvester's fantasy.

- HTML isn't valid.

- CSS isn't valid.

- Layout wastes space on large screens (non-fluid), and is locked at lower resolutions, forcing the user to scroll.

- Title on main page is in "Blue", yet all other "Blue" text is a link. Consistency implies function.

- Links (?) "Terms of service" and "Report center" aren't hooked up

- Showing the IP and the time to generate the page will result in the page not being cachable, and present inconsistent results to search engines, possibly lowering your rating

- Many elements on your page aren't caching

- Read about how to make your forms more accessible.

- On your registration page, names with accented characters like รก don't work, despite being a letter. They are relatively common in names, so you might want to consider loosening up the requirement to allow them.

You might also want a page explaining the advantages over something like flickr or imageshack.. just a thought.

Overall, not bad, but could use more polishing.

I agree with Phoenix...

Also you may want to change the word punishment to something along the lines of TOS Violation. When I hear the word punishment I feel like I'm reading something from the point of being 10 years old or something. I'm not sure why the TOS link doesn't work like a regular link? Always keep your colors separate for links/plain text.

You have two tables and you could get rid of them easily. The bottom table set your labels to display: block and give them a border: #000 dotted 1px; along with a set width. This will greatly aid you in removing the table while maintaining the general layout of your form! :)
