Hey guys,
I PM'd Andrew a couple of ideas, including that there should be a better image gallery layout, which he agreed with and thought there should be generally a more flexible layout with options of which layout you want for a category.

The second thing I suggested was to have a "Recent Comments" section as an option. He agreed with me, but was curious how best to implement it, and on that note asked me to post my idea here for your guys' input:

The reason for this is that people are LAZY. I tested the other day with several friends of mine, and they downloaded some videos from my website, without even knowing that they could add a comment, even though I <strong>'ed and increased the font size of the "Add Comment/Rate Link" text.
If people see the first few comments, it would really bring the comment system to a functional and effective point. Right now, people don't see the comments and are too lazy to click the link to go in and check them out."

Andrew's response was the following:
"This is a good idea - I think it needs to be a per-site-configuration option, so that the admin can decide how many comments are summarised in the bit.

What would help me a lot is a couple of rough sketches of possible layouts. I'm not the greatest garphics artist! You don't need to do these in html - just somthing that gives me a sense of what you would find aesthetically 'clean'. Perhaps you could post this in the main thread for others to respond to."

If anyone is able to help with this last part, much thanks to you! I will give it a try myself when I have some time.

Regards,
David
