Andrew,
The new version is looking fantastic. It had been a couple of betas since I last upgraded, but with all of the new stuff in this one I had to upgrade and it worked flawlessly. Fantastic job.
With that said, I have a question and a couple comments:
1. [EDIT: I answered my own question and implemented this myself] In the photo linkbit - is it possible to have it so when you click the thumbnail, it directly opens the main picture, instead of going to the entry? But, if you click the text (the name of the pic) under the thumbnail, it still goes to the entry.
2. [EDIT: This is not a bug, I see how the Scan function works now. The placement of the category jump menu is confusing because it is so close to the directory selectmen drop-down, and they look related]Possible bug: When you are using the "Scan" function, when you select the category in the drop-down list, it sends you automatically to the category page you chose, instead of simply selecting the category and allowing you to scan. So when you select category currently, you immediately have to press back to stay on the same page.
3. Thumbnails: I struggled to get the "thumbnail caching" feature to work. However, I realized that I need to write the correct permission for the "thumbs_dir" folder, and then it worked perfectly. You should remind people that they need to "777" the thumbs directory.
4. Recent comments: I still think it would be a very nice idea to have the option of having the last 2-3 comments visible inside each entry table. I'm not a graphic artist either, but I think it would be possible to create a subtable inside each entry box underneath the descriptions area that says "Recent Comments" at the top, with a very basic display of the last 2-3 comments inside, and has the "Add Comment/View Rating" link to the main comments entry screen at the bottom.
Thanks Andrew.
