I'm now looking into having my client's WordPress site link to a photo-sharing site such as Flickr.com, to see if it would make it easier for visitors to upload their own images to his site without having to open an account (although I think Flickr requires them to have at least a Google or Yahoo account).

I keep it in mind.

Regardless your visitors can also comment with the link to wherever they've uploaded their image and you can collect it from there, as suggested by tsp here http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/upload-visitors-photos?replies=3

Good luck!

I'll suggest to my client that his site should say, "Send us your photos and we'll post them on our site." Thanks again for your assistance.

It can't be done here without the VIP upload, which is overkill.

It's actually for my client who wants me to create a site for him with this uploading feature. I figured there would be a security issue - Cheezburger makes it so easy without even having to log in!

What you are proposing is not available for free. It's a huge security risk, for one thing.

The only upgrade that will allow you to do this is the VIP upgrade, which is what Cheezburger has and the price is what I have said.

Thanks for your replies. Is there any feature available if the free account is upgraded to the paying account? Also, Mr Raincoaster, I think $2400 per month would be a bit too much to pay to enable visitors to upload their photos.

Icanhascheezburger has this ability. They pay, I believe, $2,400 a month for it.
