Nice work N!ck, looking good.

Im also in the middle of writing a photogallery for my site, altho its more like photopost then yours, I think it would be kick ass to combine something like yours with mine (main photogallery for submissions and browsing, then each user has his own private gallery for viewing). I wish you luck! GD is a tricky little bastard

It actually isn't so bad, it just takes getting used to. I'd much rather use ImageMagick myself, but my hosting company won't install it because it creates too much server load.

Anyway, I can't wait to see what you come up with.

I don't care for GD-- no GIF support? Yea yea no PNG lectures till it is well supported.

Nice work Nick, I really like the different viewing options on the main page of your gallery. Mine just recently got some work done to it (the user search, faster displays, cleaner code now).. I think I might add something like that.

Are you tracking the views of each gallery? That is a good way to sort it on the front page as well-- it's become a bit of a competition with my users to see where their gallery ranks in popularity.. so I reset the view stats every month.

The only problem with tracking views at overgrow is that BOG is always on top

Thanks again.

I am tracking views, but they're only shown when you click to see a user's gallery. I just might put them on the front page as you suggest, though I'm not sure I have enough traffic going through to reset the views every month. The only challenge is that views are stored in a separate table. Shouldn't be too difficult, but it might not be easy either.

That is actually a very good strategy for attracting new people to your site.

As for the user search box, I think I'm going to hold off on that unless it is requested (because I really have no place to put it

).

Also, I'm not allowing anything but JPEG's in the gallery anyway because (1) GIFs are proprietary

and (2) PNGs have poor compression. So GD suits my purposes just fine.

So, just out of curiosity (and if you don't mind answering), how much Space/Bandwidth are you using for so many members? I think Overgrow.com is about the largest vB community I've seen.

Ah there are larger I'm sure. Some gaming sites are huge..

Hmm my quickstats tell me: 1600 mb database, 860 mb database index. 10+ gigs of photos, haven't checked recently.

corsacrazy: I'm not really sure. It's kind of an ongoing project, so I'm not sure when I'll be completely satisfied.
Kars10: Thanks! Race boats are primarily v-drive...it's basically kind of a "hot rod" setup, so that's why people like to show off their polished blown engines and such.

N!ck, awesome work man. I love it, when do you think there might be a release?
