How to autoload an image from your site into Primps...

Okay so here's a cool "hidden" feature on the site. You can autoload any image online and have it bypass the initial start screen on Primps (the screen that says "Upload or Choose Photo" , and the autoloaded image will go straight to the editing mode. This is a handy feature if you already have an image on your site and you want your visitors to be able to caption it. I think its a cool idea for web comic authors if they removed their own captions from their comics and gave readers the occasional chance to pen a comic.


Anyway, this is very simple.  The image link on your site just needs to include this in front of it...

So to autoload this image... 

 http://www.yoursite.com/image.jpg

...The full link would just combine the two like...

  http://www.primps.com/index.php?autoload=http://www.yoursite.com/image.jpg



Make sense? Here's some working examples...

Cool right.
