I would like to 'nearly' duplicate the look and feel of CGTalk. The only difference I would like is to have a separate gallery-thumbnail page (in other words, an expanded version of the six thumbnails at
http://www.cgtalk.com/ where each thumbnail would have a title (and two more fields which would be completed by the person posting the picture).
If a user clicks on the thumbnail it would enlarge the photo.
On both the thumbnail page and the 'enlarged' photo there would be an option to "comment on this photo" link.
If that link is clicked a thread would be created (if one hasn't been created yet) where the user could make comments to the posted picture. If a thread has already been created then the user would be directed/linked to that respective thread.
This thread would be integrated into the respective vB forum (with the thumbnail on the forumdisplay page, see:
http://www.cgtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=133
So on the forumdisplay page the thumbnail would be next to the thread title (if a picture was being commented on) otherwise a 'message' icon (see the icon I used for this post) would be visible in the same column that the thumbnails are in.
Of course I would pay for this mod.
