As you've probably guessed already, the site has been updated to the latest forum and gallery software, along with some other tweaks I wanted to make to the site layout.

In no particular order, some of the changes you'll see are:
- "recent artwork" section now has more than one page
- ability to sort "recent artwork" section by views and rating
- new "recent entries" section to separate out calendar entries and entries for upcoming site challenges/contests
- you should now be able to move your images between your folders (yay!)
- previous/next links now include thumbnail images
- mature items will no longer be completely invisible, but will now appear with a "mature item" default image
- you can set an album to "disable browsing", so that you can link images from a gallery, but it won't show up in the "recent artwork" section. Very handy for things like drawovers. ^_^
- image description is now up under the image, and easier to read
- and many more things that may not be obvious, but make my job easier!

It was a more painful process than I was anticipating (these things always are!), and I'm fairly sure there are still bugs to work out, but I thought I'd open up the doors, so to speak, so that people could report any problems they are seeing in this thread.

Known problems:
- some album icons MIA

I'm especially concerned about any problems you have adding/editing files.

I can't find the comment button in the gallery..?

It looks pretty awesome, good work! I'm really looking forward to the challenges.

I can't find the comment button in the gallery..?

Meep! Thank you. That was bad.  Fortunately it was just a goof-up on my part with the new permissions system, and not a bonafide bug. Should be working now.

[Afke]

Thanks, that worked.
I also found something else, I saw my album no longer has an icon. I just uploaded a new picture and set that to be the icon, but my main folder (seen from the page members galleries) still has no icon.

Another question/bug, not sure if it's related to this... Whenever I try to edit my rather long post in the Members' characters topic, I can't get the message box to stay at the right place. Not sure how to explain it, but when I scroll to say halfway the message and want to add something there, the moment I type one letter the scroll jumps to a point higher up in the message and I can't see the part I'm supposed to edit, half to scroll again to find it. It keeps doing this, and it's rather annoying 'cause I want to keep up with the posting of new thumbnails.

[Foxeye]

What browser are you using?

And is it just the text in the edit box that leaps around, or is the the whole page?

[Afke]

IE8, and it's only the edit box.

[Foxeye]

Whoa! I see what you mean.  For me it scrolls up, then scrolls back down quickly to where I put the cursor.

I take it that is new with the latest update?  There was an upgrade to the forum software in addition to the gallery software, so maybe they added a bug.

[Afke]

No, it was there before as well, just forgot to mention it. But I noticed I go back and edit that post a lot, so...

It also did this for me yesterday, when quoting a post.  Once I get past the bottom of the text box, the text starts jumping around and won't stay where the cursor is.  I don't know if the same thing happened prior to the upgrade   I'm using IE8 as well.

Huzzah, finally found and fixed the bug where mature images were showing up in the previous/next thumbnails when you had your filter turned on.  Now that we have some bona-fide mature content, I figured I better not let that bug hang around.

Now to fix the !@#^@#$ missing album icons. *sigh*

[Treefox]

Now I cannot see any mature content at all anymore even though I set the filter to "off". Still appreciate all the work you put into this, Foxeye.   

[Foxeye]

It's because you have not entered a birthdate. You have to be over 18.

[Treefox]

D'oh! Thanks! I guess I never noticed because we haven't had any stuff marked as mature... *feels stupid*

Most people don't even notice until something breaks down.
Nothing's broke, but thank you for all your support and hard work keeping this site in line.
