Photo gallery changes

[Ian]

A few changes have been applied to the DPNow gallery system.

A couple of options that weren't working properly that should now be operational include:

• Zip uploading: for convenience, you can upload multiple images in one go from your computer by Zip archiving them into one file.
• Quick rating of images: if you want to you can now give an image a rating out of 10.
• Thumbnail appearance: a simple rounded and shaded border has been applied in order to improve the style of presentation a little.
• Anti-leaching (right-click/copy images disabled) to ward off image thieves has been implemented. It's by no means 100% effective but will put off some. You can still use the UBBCode tags shown under your images to show your pictures in a forum post.

Don't forget that the idea behind the DPNow gallery and forum combo is for you to select images from your gallery that you have uploaded and display them in one of the forum boards - particularly in the Image Insight category. It's THE way to get really good quality feedback on your work.
