i now see an image name as a title... not good that should be the image title ..in some cases the old site the image name was the title because it was the default if they never changed it.....i do not want that ever to happen again! it should not default to the image name the title should be blank but required on add image ass well as edit (well requiredb not reset to blank ofcourse)

next theres no easy 'add a photo" only add a gallery wich you add photos to
instead.. there should bhe an add a photo option..with add to gallery or create new gallery options
the modification should alow move to gallery.... and possibly even copy to gallery but im not sure how i feel about that yet\

the imagename should not show up under it except when oldmembers were lazyand didnt change it
\and should not be the default title


i made title mandatory on modification form but there doesnt seem to be any add photo only add gallery forms i canfind

if we leave it this way most progfiles might end up with 500 galleries with only 1 picture each

instead they should add a photo it default to a default gallery unless they change it or create a new 1

as it is now.. the title has taken the place of the gallery title and image namre has taken the place of the title

@paul
it needs alil tweaking
and if they can add a photo instead of add a gallery as the default action when clicking add within the profile gallery that will be way more familiar to ning users and solves the problem of requiring a title on every photo

Yes I totally agree with all points about the 'add gallery'. I was noticing this as well today.

We won't want each member to have 50 galleries and each gallery with 1 photo. =8-*
Default should be for member to just add a photo to their overall pool of photos...and then have the option of creating galleries and adding/organizing photos into the galleries if they want. I'm hoping this isn't too difficult or troublesome to achieve.

yes agree and since many jr users are used to it as is maybe the photo galleries admin should have an option 'clicking add takes you to add photo...or add gallery

so older jr users can cuhoose what they are used to

but i do think this is a cleaner easier ..more logifcal way to do it

on the plus sitde with just a couple more tweaks i feel close to ready to go live soon

Me, I think I have a little ways to go on my site.
Though, my moderators kinda arrived unexpectedly today. ;)
