Rick,
The way you have the Island showing the latest gallery posts is quite a nice touch I think. Great work guy.

Agreed, it looks like a thoughtful feature, good work!
What about adding alt+title to the images in the gallery island?

Rick,
Might be nice to add or at least not remove the menu for the popup window when you open the image in a new window. You can use CTRL-P to print it but for some I'm sure it's not known and they might want to print the image and don't know how with the menu removed.

Are we able to turn "off" the photo gallery feature if we don't want it?
Thanks, looks good.

Yes, it's optional, it's just a toggle when creating a new forum.

Glad it's back up for you, Giz. Rick, I love the new gallery too. I'm trying to find all the new stuff. The "spoiler" thing is cool too.

We have our own photo galleries on our site. Not sure how this photo gallery is setup but do the photos shown here have to be sucked up from a hard-drive or can they be existing URLs of images online?

When you start a new Gallery Post
you have the normal post options so i cant see why not.
But i don't think they will hit the photo island.
One to test and play with ?
Give it a go.

Ive just done a test.
To use the Gallery you have to UPLOAD 1 Image.
Or you get a UBB Error telling you so.
Linked images appear below.

Okay, but you posted here and said in the content below so with no link it sort of makes it difficult to track down what you were referencing.
Thanks

Not sure if you should be able to, but it seems that if someone replies to a Gallery post that they can not add their picture to it.

Hmm, I think you may be right NT. Having images posted in the reply kinda messes things up, since they all should be in thumbnails and not buried down in the comments. I think we may need to lock down what ubbcode can be posted in comments.

Gallery New Post Icons
Explanation
Loving the galley, but when i enter the gallery my eyes
are now trained on how a normal forum works.
Meaning I'm looking for a post icon if there are new posts / comments?
After my eyes re-focus, i can now see the (2) along side comments.
I dont know if i'm just getting used to it, or my eyes are really missing a posting icon to say no new comments?
I feel i want something to change colour.

Replies should be replies. its late now, so i'm getting slower and may have missed somthing

I would like to see an area at the top of the forum where you could post a guidelines / rules type of statement. Nothing complicated just something to let people know what kind of material they can post and that the contents are being monitored.
Also, can the gallery have Post Moderation like other forums?

You can set the size of the images from the control panel.
At the moment it is set to 4 images in a row though.

GIF images - I just tried to upload image.gif and when it uploaded it changed the file name to image.jpg.
Is there an option to allow gif images or is it locked to jpg?

Rick has it currently locked down to .jpg to save server space with additional compression. It may be changed to give admin preferences in the future.

Would allowing gif images pose any possible security issues?

I think it has something to do with the way GD works?
I spotted the same on ricks site with .png
pretty neat it can convert.
Saying that it will prevent a rotating gif on a 2 min pause.

It should save a gif as a gif, a jpg as a jpg, and a png as a png; RE: gif and PNG support transparency, JPG does not.
