There already is a watermark function in the current release.

Let's say you upload an image. Then you proceed to use that image in a thread you create. Now, when someone is browsing your gallery, all the see are the images and the data about file size and such, but they have no way to know whether you used that image on that message board at all.

What I would like is the ability to reference the image to the threads in which it was used. I realize that this couldn't be an automatic thing, but if the user would have a way to specify in which threads the image was used, so that gallery viewers can then go to that thread and read about the image, where it was taken, under which conditions, etc.

Things like Photopost Gallery, and vB Gallery have a feature where one can add comments under each image. I think that is a really bad idea as it creates a "discussion thread" that is disassociated from the actual forum. What I mean is that people engage in a discussion about the image in the gallery part of the message board (right underneath the image), but they do not discuss it in the forum part, say under "Nature Pictures".

What that does is it essentially splits the focus of the message board between threads on the forum, and threads underneath each image in the gallery part of the message board.

What I would like to do is to "unify" these two.
The only way this could work as far as I see it if there were one of two things.

#1 The gallery owner has some sort of option to add a link to the thread in which the image is being discussed to the image gallery.

or (and perhaps even better)

#2 Any newly uploaded picture has a button underneath it that says "Start a New Thread About This Image". If clicked, a new thread will be created in the appropriate forum that shows the image and allows for others to discuss the image. If such a thread has already been created, then the link underneath the image would read "click here to view the discussion about this image", or something like that.

Eh, that's a lot of writing, but I don't think I have explained it very well.
I will think of a better way to write it down and will try again later.

Also, put up your Paypal link here, I would be happy to support further development with a modest financial contribution.
