Hi,
The trouble with the gallery is
a) I don't know what version we're running and if we are out of date first step is an upgrade.
b) I don't have ANY admin access whatsoever so I'm stuck a bit.
c) If we move to vBulletin spending time fixing now would be a waste of time.
d) The system runs alphabetically, which imo is wrong, i.e. pic one is called aaa, pic two is aab, its just wrong all round, I dunno why the guy coded it that way so if it doesn't offer a reverse chronological order it will be hard for me to change it because (read c).
I totally agree, I didn't spot new pics either, I think your idea is sound and when we get vB there are lots of cool options, for instance the front page can load random pics, new pics, the gallery fronts can show new pics, oh its a joyous thing to be using vB.
I hope I don't overpraise it and then things go horribly wrong!
Good idea though, time for my pills.
