Ever wonder why your server has to take the performance hit for someones crazy 8000x8000 photo for your image fields? Wonder no more!

Meaning it's resized to your image fields specifications before it's uploaded and eliminates the performance hit your server would otherwise take.

I know many have asked how to customize the blank select option with a custom label or how they can have optgroups. Well.. ask no more!

This will only work if it is the first option.

This time around it's going for a multi-media gallery with a more robust API and features more familiar to other social sites. Below is the current progress.
