After spending hours trying to get it to work correctly, I was finally able to include a remove button in the Requested area.
So if you don't like whatever you created or you accidentally created an image that goes against the rules and need to get
rid of it, now you can.  I don't actually delete the files but move them to another folder for review in case you accidentally
remove something you didn't mean to.  You can leave a message to see if I can recover it.  I will be emptying the folder
often so if needed make the request ASAP or you may be out of luck.

Due to people creating illegal images I have had to find ways of limiting access.  I have added code to now prevent people on
VPN's from generating images.  There is no message, the buttons will just not work.  You can still browse and download images,
but creating images will not be available.  So if you want to create your own images, you cannot be on a VPN.  If I still have
issues with people not following the rules and doing illegal activities then I will be adding a login page that will require a sign in
with Google in order to access the site.  I already have the code ready if needed.

I have been playing around with SDXL and Flux along with Ultimate SD Upscale... The upscale is simply amazing... But with Flux it's spectacular...
Not 100% still, but it's a lot closer then SDXL. But it's also much slower. It takes 630 seconds to upscale using Ultimate SD upscaler with Flux.
Check out this bedroom... Can you even tell it's computer generated.. Imagine if it was the size of a photograph.. It would be so realistic.
I also tried the 4bit version of the Flux dev model but it's just as slow as the 21gb modified fp8 version I'm using so I see no benefit to using it.
I think the images were subpar also for Flux.  I was hoping to find a way of making Flux fast enough to include it as an option but that's just
not possible on my hardware it seems.  I made an API and everything to run flux but somehow it seg faults (clean exit with no error message!
but need to restart) and it's slow even with my 6 step "lightning" modded version.   What's weird is I can run it just fine from my workflow
which is exactly the same as the API version.  Some bug in ComfyUI API interface it seems...

I have added a new search engine that allows you to do keyword searchs on image descriptions. Still trying to get the search the way I want.
For now your limited to entering single word searches unless your searching for two or three words in the same order..  like 'White Hair'
or 'black and white' will match so long as the words are beside each other in the right order. The results cover all folders except Requested.

Search engine has been finished.  You can now search with multiple words and select if results match any word or all words.

I have done a bunch more work on fixing up both the Prompt search and Image seach functions.
You can now select three different search types making it easier to find what your looking for in both.

New update:

I added a group chat feature to the main index page.  Click the little message bubble in the bottom right corner to bring up the chatbox.

If someone sends a message, you will hear a ding and see the chat icon shake for 1 second.
If  'Do Not Disturb' is selected (Turns red when selected), the ding will be muted.

I have been working on improving the chat feature... 

Now you can drag and drop jpg,png,gif, and webp files into the chat (even from the website) as well as text.
You can also right click the images to display in new window.  After a few days of hard work the chat now stays
populated and remembers previous settings across folders and refreshes! Chat and generate or browse at the
same time!

Found flaws with the image drag and drop so might not work for you.  You may just get a broken link image.
Working on getting it working 100%

Probably adding more customized buttons...  Verifying the DND works... (Works for me)
And still trying to figure out how to make the searches work 100% when you hit search.
Stupid thing sometimes brings up previous results instead of doing the search...

I have done yet more changes... Changed the look of the website to make it a bit more modern.
Got rid of the secondary menu so it's more stream lined and easier to get around. 
Locked the title and menu so they no longer scroll.
Created all new buttons and folder system.

 The group chat is almost perfected.  You can now send MP3 files as well as PNG/JPG/GIF/WEBP.
I believe the only bug left is getting the server/client to work properly as far as retrieving the stored files after the
browser is refreshed or the webpage is changed.  Images work, but MP3's even though they are being saved in the
folder are not being recognized and used after the refresh wipes the data.  I have routines in place that save the
settings and reopen with your previous settings so you can still chat while browsing the website.

I was finally able to get around the API issues and get Flux working.  So now you can also run the Flux model which is
good at adding text.  So if your trying to design something with text in it, that is your best bet. It takes around 50 seconds
per image because I limited the size to 960x544.  Flux is time intensive even using 'lightning' type version.  Just to go to
1280x720 takes 125 seconds, about 2 1/2 times what it takes for 960x544!  You can use the upscaleX2 feature in the
Requested folder to scale to 1920x1088 if desired.

One of the users here created this video from art they generated here.  Pretty amazing stuff!

I have removed the audio messages from the group chat.  You can still drag and drop .mp3's to add to the music player but
they won't show in the chat (Only in the MP3 Player).  The code was downloading all the songs automatically using a bunch of
bandwidth for no reason.  So now they will only download if you open up the MP3 Player because you want to listen to music.
The drag'n'dropped MP3 will populate to the end of the list of MP3's in the MP3 Player.  Note you cannot drag'n'drop into the
MP3 Player, only the chat box.  Right now I have limited the music to around 25 songs but I am working on other ways to
incorporate a much bigger selection.  I manually change the selection of songs every few days right now.
