For me, one of the strengths of the photo section were the comments that people could make. I also greatly enjoyed the pictures that people posted.

The new section doesn't seem to have the same things.
James, I've got more than just this photo gallery on my plate. It might be hard to believe, but it's true. I'm doing what I am capable of doing to iron out all the bugs. I deeply apologize for allowing my other obligations to slow my progress. But I am confident that those members willing to demonstrate a modicum of patience will be pleased with the end result.

I guess I will wait for a few days to see how things shake out. But like I said, it would have been nice to have had some discussion about the changes before they were enacted.
This project has been in discussion for months. The script has actually been installed here for 3-4 months, you just couldn't see it. And with it hidden like that, we couldn't adequately test it. We had to bring it into the live forum environment to finish the testing/configuration.
