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.

Noted - thanks

Thanks Andrew.

I've thought about this and am considering a javascript 'pop up' when you hover over the 'ratings/comments'. There are two things I have to look out for - first, screen space, and second, keeping the sql efficient. Building the linkbit is already rather hairy - it requires a 'Join' on about five tables and I'm concerned that adding another join may slow things down badly. But if we handled this with a pop up, then we could keep the sql efficient.
