Well, I imagine most of you have noticed that the Fan Art gallery has been upgraded to the latest and greatest version of Gallery, partially due to some security issues, but mostly because the new version promises to be much more flexible, and will allow the gallery room to grow.
Some changes, however, had to be made. If you're an artist and you used to have gallery notify you of changes/comments by email, those notifications are now gone. There are RSS feeds available, however.
You may notice that the gallery is somewhat slower on average than it was before. That's because for the vast majority of the pictures you're viewing, it is regenerating the thumbnail and resized version of the pics on the fly. As more pictures are visited, the thumbnails are cached and the pages should display more quickly. I am investigating the possibility of moving the database to MySQL to give it a speed up as well.
The look and feel is also different; I will be coming up with a Thorn Valley template for it eventually, so it'll look more like it used to eventually. I've also changed the ordering of the main gallery to put the most recently updated albums up front, so the front page order is less arbitrary, a complaint I've had in the past.
There are many other new features than what I've outlined, but I don't have time to cover them all. Let me know if you have questions.

Simon. I got the note you sent and I wanted to say I was sorry. :(
By the way, in my art section, the one that has the cage with Max in it, It's not called "Finally Escaped"."Finally Escaped" is the one with the red background."Some day I will Escape" is not the one in the red background. It is the cage bar background.(and it's coloered too :evil: ).
So can you do a good favor and please fix the error? :?: If you can that'd be great. :)

Looks pretty good to me. (the white background is easier to see on my computer at work, since the monitor on it is about shot.) Anyway, it'll take some getting used to for me to be fluent, or at least halfway so, using the new system. Still looks great, though.

This fan art gallery is good looking, but has no background. :roll: It's okay.
