looking over the photo grid page i was thinking instead of a 6 across grid a 4 accross with lil larger images (responsive ofcourse) with the title above in its own div and name below in its own div each with an alocated height wether a title exists (although now i think thats taken from the description not title as every image must have a title and descriptions were optional)
the wider image would alow for a lil longer text without truncation

now that i think about it belows probably fine too as long as each is in its own div to keep it frokm wrapping to new lines and it should be taken from the title not description since 90% leave descriptions blank and some might write a 4 paragraph description

(on a sidenote ning defaulted the title to the filename if you didnt change it, titles should be required (and descriptions optionjaly required) but the filename should not auto populate the title it should be blank till somethings entered

I've actually got a fix for this in the next release. It is still 6 across on PC's but a better layout for mobile devices.

awesome and cant wait
6 across is fine for smaller image sizes the only reason i suggested 4 would be to alow lil longer titles though if space was alocated for 2 lines of title that would work as well as long as the alocated space remains constant

really looking forward to that release

Oh, sorry, I guess I was thinking of the Profiles grid, not the Photos/Images grid. Yeah I like the way my photo page grid looks, with the hotlink member name underneath each image.

But I agree that a simple photo title would be more useful than a description for the photos grid. Most folks put short photo titles, and when they add descriptions, they are often long.

Make sure the "Require Images" is CHECKED in the "media" tab of your skin config. By default it is off. With that checked, only profiles with an IMAGE will be shown on the main skin pages, which I would recommend as it will make your site look nicer and avoid what you are seeing.

i did replace my default imasge so that might not work as they get a default image

its fine if theres a bunch of the default images thats not the issue the issues the names are missing and even when an image is provided its often not helpful without a name
plus.. youd always want the members list to be complete with default imageds cause i welcome every new member when they join so having them in the list is nesacary especialy since many dont update the image right away
