Photography Section - being redone

[Tigga]

Over about the next week or three I'll be working on redoing the photography section. Right now I'm using a heavily modified version of a script called PhotoPost, but I'm going to work on re-writing everything myself. PhotoPost is a decent script, but it's lacking in quite a few features and the coding could be done a lot better. I've already got a few things changed... It shows signatures, titles, and post icons with the posts now. When you're making a new post, it shows the formating code buttons, and smilies, you'll have the option to include a title, icon, and basically all the options it gives you when you're posting a new message on the forum. Oh, and the rating system for photos was redone... Before a rating was added as part of the post, so it would show that a photo had comments even if it only had a rating, which I thought was kind of annoying. I'll still be working on the rest of that section and adding more stuff over the next couple of weeks, so if anyone notices anything that looks weird or something's not working then that's probably why. :)

Incase anyone's wondering, I have still been working on this. The favorites section should work right now, the e-card feature has been redone a little, and I've replace the "Create Calendar" link with a new "Top Photo" section that will show the top 30 photos ordered by views, most comments, and rating. The calendars cost way too much (I think they were $40 or $50) and I seriously doubt anyone would actually buy one, so I just got rid of that option. Oh, I also redid the way it sorts photos in a gallery, so you can change the order, direction, and photos per page a little better, plus it should keep that order if you click on a photo and then use the previous and next links to go to the next one. I'm sure I've changed some more things around, but I can't remember anything else that's significant right now. I've still got quite a few things to change, so if anyone has any suggestions on some more things to add or ways to improve it, or if anything's not working right please let me know.

Yes Empress... In terms that you can understand, the photography section will be a little prettier when I'm finished. :p

I'm still trying to think of more stuff I could add to it, but I'm about out of ideas... Damn it people! Give me some suggestions!
