After a long period in development we have migrated the gallery archive to the next generation software! Like g3, g4 is a custom built program designed for this type of site; it has many new features but most importantly has a new dynamic framework which allows "fancyness"
New Gallery Software is Online
All pictures, stories, movies, comments, watches, favorites, etc from the old gallery have been transferred to the new. Note: Some people saw a permission denied message during upgrade, this was temporary.
A quick summary of a few of the most interesting features:
- New look & feel, as long as you aren't using IE8 or anything outdated like that.
- Everyone gets to edit a profile for their user page. Edit it on your settings screen. Artists & Authors can select a featured item of their choice, or allow a random item to be featured.
- Tags. There is much more tag stuff including:
- Tag Browsing View to navigate related tags.
- Anyone can add or remove tags from any item. Modifications require Community Approval.
- Tags are different colors for different categories. The tag admins will be cleaning up and coloring the tags soon.
- You can now watch tags to be notified when a new item with tags you like is posted.
- You can now blacklist tags you don't like.
- Tag Browsing View to navigate related tags.
- Everyone has a Commission Status page where they can publish information about requests, trades, or commissions. And there is a central Commission List where you can browse artists and authors who have published thier status.
- The gallery's Front Page is now sorted by last update by default.
- Comic mode setting on folder: a new display mode that will share all the comments and show a navigation thumbnail bar in every items in that folder!
- You'll probably want to check out your message page.
- A complete list of new features will be available when I remember them all.
There are several more features planned for addition in the next few weeks that didn't make it into the first release. I have not yet decided on the final look for the latest updates and favorites on the userpage.
If you find any issues please respond in this thread, we track them all. Include screenshots and a description of how you made it happen.
If you have suggestions on what to add or change, not everything is set in stone yet, the framework is fairly flexible. Please respond in this thread.
