As you can see, there's a new section on the forum called Gallery. I thought that maybe it would be a good place for all of our member photos, or any other images that would work in a gallery format.
The section has posting disabled - only I can add things to the gallery. I disabled posting there so that it would simply be the images, nothing else. After all, images in a thread can become hard to find once a lot of posting has occurred.
So - I need to know whether youse guys think it's a good idea or not.

Love the idea, ITL!
Do you need new photos, or are the ones scattered here and there (with still-viable links) good enough?

It would save me time if pics were sent to me for inclusion, I suppose - but I don't mind searching for them - all I really need is the OK from people who want in.

ITL -- unsure what you are seeking to do. Are you proposing installing an attachment file field that would upload images to the server & autosize?
Or am I being too technical again.
Signed, Huh, what did that guy say???

Nope, it's not an attatchment field - all I've done is written some HTML that uses a dropdown menu to select various DIVs for display - and I intend to place images into each DIV. Only people with access to the headers and footers of the forum can add code (therefore images) to the HTML. And as I'm the only one with access, only I can add images.
I just thought it would be a neat idea to have our photos in the same place without being separated by posts.
Click on the Gallery board to see what I mean - there's no images in there yet.

I like the idea ... it's just too bad we can't add the pictures ourselves.
Will the gallery be divided into categories, and will there be captions underneath the pics?

I agree, very good idea Itl. It would be nice to be able to easily find our pics without having to wade through tons of posts.

Will the gallery be divided into categories, and will there be captions underneath the pics? Essentially, each member who contributes will have their own category, selectable from the dropdown. It would be difficult to have captions, as it's just basic HTML that I'm using to display the pics. I could always use the "title" attribute of a pic to display a caption as a tootlip when the mouse is hovered over a pic, though.

I like it. Would we still have the posts in our old photo sections or would this replace that? I don't mind redundancy if you don't

I wouldn't need to delete the old pics at all.

No worries. BTW - I should be able to have each gallery as a series of thumbnail links that when clicked, load a full sized picture onto the same page, complete with descriptive text - I'll make a gallery of my photos as an example. Watch this space....

OK - if you click on the Gallery board and select "ITL gallery" from the dropdown, you'll see a very basic version of the gallery I'm working towards. Eventually, I want to get the thumbnails on the left hand side of the frame, instead above the bigger pic.
