New Photo Gallery

[Aaron]

Hi Everyone,

Since our Coppermine Gallery has been broken for forever and a day, I've decided it's time to move onto another solution. Anywhooo I added a new gallery based off another person's plugin which works with vBulletin. Check out the new gallery here http://www.blamonet.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=63 try it out and give me some feedback on what you think of it.

Just a fyi... I closed the new gallery, as it was eating up too much of the server's resources. I'll continue to look into new software for the gallery or develop my own to work with the boards.

Is there any way to make the pictures stop showing up as thumbnails?

I think it's a good idea to have attachments show up as thumbnails. The page will probably load faster if you're on dial-up and you don't have to scroll through 20 images if you're looking for something specific.

I'd like at least an option to not have thumbnails. Part of message boards is having a lot of pictures. It should only be a big deal, even for dial up, on threads specifically made for pictures.

I'll look into seeing if I can add it to be a user option.

If not, I think I might keep it the way it is for now, since it reduces server load and bandwidth, and I'm not planning on upgrading our servers anytime soon to make up for the difference. :)

erm, where did it go?

deleted it, it was making our server cpu load go up almost by 5 times. :O I'm trying to think of how to integrate the coppermine gallery with vbulletin again, I might synch the vbulletin accounts into coppermine and then re-write their login script.
