I beg to differ Shadow its not off topic it about the gallery upload . And this is the "perfect" platform for just such a topic IMO. As far as the top 20 goes I rarely visit and wonder why its there to begin with. If anything I veiw it as a tool for newbies to learn what can be done with the apps being used to create the art veiwed there. Not that its the top in the galleries but that its who's popular. Ive seen way to many images by passed by the top 20 that blow up when posted elsewhere and actualy bring in revenue. But back to the uploads- Bottlenecks? I dont see how a Pro gallery would interfere with this- They want to limit uploads shadow of images I dont see where anyone reasonable in the least would protest this, but matbe make us a little more competitive and do better and newbies would see this and give more thought to what there putting up there and look alittle harder at there work before posting.... But as you said this is totaly of the subject in your opinion....
