Hence, we're doing an overhaul. If I understand the software correctly, you'd be able to rate the images and then sort by ratings, or by artist, meaning that you could view only images that are to your standards should you wish to keep it to that. It would be like the Artist's Gallery forum with many improvements.
That's the point. Updating is such a hassle that no one has done it in years.Quote:

Just like Jimmy.
Poor Jimmy.
Did anyone here even check source forge?

That looks like what you are looking for and it is FREE.
We've live-tested at least 3-4 different free galleries already. I think that might have been one of them, too. Not sure since there's no real examples shown that I can see, also that one looks like it's still in development? And the development started in ...2003?
The software we're intending on using is fully functional, has a huge variety of features and can fully integrate into vBulletin. The details are found here: http://www.photopost.com/
I don't think the one you've mentioned has the support or amount of features we're really looking for.
That one was just an example. There are tons of other ones. Of course anything free isn't going to be as great as something you pay for(or so it would seem in this case) but development of any piece of software never stops. If it did stop then you would only need version 1.0 as your final end all release :D
I was just mainly checking to see if you guys had gone out to see and test free stuff first as I don't recall having that mentioned.
What's the link to donate ?Quote:

Sepho, Spatvark, Samuraid, Rye, Unne and myself all worked on the last one we tried and we had it tested by artists, too, such as Doofhull and Unne. Still no luck, though. Looking at how many features this has and the fact that it's designed in the same fashion as vBulletin, I think this is exactly what we're after.
EDIT: Renmiri, please see the announcements for details. The link is in them as well. :)
We surely wouldn't just jump to buying a 129 dollar piece of software without trying out other alternatives first.
It's in stage 1 (development) meaning that they may not even have a single line of code written yet. We would only consider it if it were in RC or Final development stage.Quote:

In that case we won't give you enough credit to listen to your suggestions. :)Quote:

Don't worry. Its not like I have every really agree with much of what you have done and the same goes vis-versa. It is what makes the relationship so great :kiss:Quote:
