The Upgrade Account page has been completely redesigned. It is now much easier to understand and use. Remember if you need more space you can easily upgrade your account for as little as $2.99 by clicking Upgrade Account in the gallery menu.
FocusU will also be accepting Credit/Debit Card payments very soon.

Update

Advertisements now removed.
What's up with the ads?
Posted by john at 8:24 PM
You may have noticed the small adds in the header of each page of the gallery, don’t worry these are not permanent at the moment.
In an effort to produce some actual revenue (can’t pay for the server out of my own pocket forever!) ads have temporarily been placed at the top of each gallery page to get an idea of the kind of revenue targeted advertising will produce.
Based on the result the following could happen.
If we get no revenue:
The ads will disappear and we will have to hope that enough people will sign up for an advanced account with our new (coming soon) credit card payment system as well as seeking out alternative methods.
If we get a good amount of revenue:
You can look forward to getting more free storage in the free accounts and yes there will be a feature to remove the ads from your page and anyone viewing your pages if you are a paying member.
Please email any questions or comments to info@focusu.com and get clicking!
In the pipeline

So what's going on at FocusU? The following new features will be implemented over the coming months.
Fully featured credit card payment system for account upgrades.
Gallery and forum integration, when you login to the gallery you will not need to login separately to the forums. The forums private messaging system will also be integrated into the gallery.
FU merchandise such as t-shirts etc, I’m toying with the idea of being able to have your favourite photos printed onto t-shirt’s and mugs etc.
The option to receive an e-mail each time someone posts a comment to your photos.
If you have any ideas or suggestions contact us now so we can make them come to life.
