Just took a gander at my own gallery in the new format. Looks good, but I didn't expect the ability to remove comments. Funny, one of the recent threads in this forum regarding comments contains a statement by one of the moderators that the galleries didn't have the option to remove unwelcome comments by design...

Will the option to remove comments from a gallery image stay? I don't need this option, the only comment I do not welcome is a trolling remark, and those comments are either removed by the mods/coords (which is fine by me) or they stay to demonstrate the childishness of the troll in question (which is also fine by me).

As soon as my next render is finished I'm going to try the upload. One of the things I like already is the possibility to credit more than 10 merchants, very useful to me since I almost always use dozens of different products in my renders. I hope I can use the new credit method to insert credits for freebie providers, something I really missed in the old galleries.

The galleries are quite slow indeed. It might be that a lot of users are trying them out at this very moment, or it might be another demonstration of the fact that recoding an existing web application in PHP is not a magic guarantee of speed.

Kudos to the programmers and staff for bringing up the new galleries so quickly. I expected a full 12 hour downtime as announced, it's been much less. Well done!
