Photo Scrolling Area

[joeychgo]

Frankly, I dont like it.

Let me explain why.

Here is my photo gallery with the old version: Joeychgo on LVC (http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=375)

Now here is the new version with virtually the same gallery and text: Joeychgo on Chicago Velocity (http://www.chicagovelocity.com/forum/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=1)

Now, because I chose to actually use the gallery to its potential, the page has a big blank area where the photos once were.

Yep, and on galleries with less content, it works fine.

It's a trade off so far, one or the other has an anomoly. In my experience, long descriptions are not the norm, so the new layout works better.

But, I think what we need to do is offer both in some way. or lose the two columns and make it one with the text wrapped around it.

Suggestions?

[joeychgo]

It would be nice if there was some -- automatic -- way to make it happen.

If the text area contains x amount of text then the gallery goes on the right. If it contains less then x - then the gallery goes underneath.

[Greg]

Interesting idea. I wonder if folks would embrace that?

[joeychgo]

well they could turn it on and off I suppose

I agree with Joey.

Maybe for the moment just give instructions on how we can hack the new 10.x.x template back to the old style? Please!

I have members 'complaining' that the thumbs are now in a smaller area and they need to scroll down to see them all. Is it not possible to have an admin function to turn scrolling off so all the thumbs show.
