If you navigate to all the JT Member's Personal Galleries;

You will see that a thumbnail of the last Picture uploaded by the Gallery member shows. We had it before where no thumbnail was showing and it was more of a listing type look.

Question, what do most of you like seeing... Thumbs or No Thumbs?

I checked out the galleries and wasn't sure exactly what you were trying to point out. But, as far as having thumbnails present on each gallery I think they would be great if it is not a hassle for JT to have them.

The albums and picture thumbs will always show inside a Member's Gallery.

I'm referring to the main page of the Gallery in where you see all of the Members listed. You will notice that there is only one Thumb next to their Member name. This thumb is the last picture that they uploaded. If we remove the thumbs from showing on the left of the listing than only the listing would show and all of the spacing moves up.

When you click on the Members Gallery name you then go inside their gallery in which you see all of their albums with Thumbs, if you click on a particular album, all the pics show with Thumbs, if you click on the Thumb of the picture, than the picture shows up.

I hope I've made some sense out of all of this.

Based on the fact that we are looking at each PERSON to find thier gallery, I believe that the thumbnails do not need to be there.

Ok, so everyone can get an idea I've shut down the last upload Thumbs on the main page of the Gallery, look at it now and see. We can turn it back in a few days.

OK....... I see what you were talking about in your first post now. The list looks alright without them and I have to agree with Ian, we look for each person's gallery not for the last picture so they are really of no use. If we keep the thumbnails it should maybe be a pic of something that would help identify the owner/user like an Avatar. Give the gallery owner the option of using a pic of his/her choice.

Looks good to me.

I liked it when it showed the picture. If you visit the gallery often enough you pick up a new picture and know the person has uploaded some new pictures. Without the picture changing you really have no way of knowing that new pictures have been uploaded...

Yes you do. The Black Jeep turns red and date changes on the right.

We can also add another film strip at the bottom of the Main Gallery page that shows the Last 5 and most recent uploads while the other strip that shows now has random pictures. Just remember if someone uploads 5 or more resents and another member uploads only one, the 5 that will show would be the most recent date and time, so the member that uploaded the one will not show if they are the oldest. However it will show as a Red Jeep with current date and time of last upload.

But never the less I see there are mixed feeling about this and to make things worse I referred to the vote and it's tied as of my posting.

I liked it how it was before. but I wouldnt mind having it with our avatar or a picture we choose to be by our name along with the 5 most recent uploads at the bottom.

This we can not do at this time so it would have to show the last picture you uploaded.


I would like for all of you to look at the Gallery main page now. I've added this on a temporary basis.

I don't particularly like it too much as it looks too busy so will need some feed back on this.

Admin

then I think it would be better how it was before, with the most recent picture of ours by our name and with the 5 random pictures in the film strip at the bottom.

right now it looks too plain towards the top with just the name list, and too busy at the bottom with the two film strips.
just my opinion
