Just felt I had to chime in to say that these new pop-up messages that appear when you mouseover a thumbnail in the galleries are sooooo intrusive to the browsing expierience...yesterday (yesterday?? I think it was yesterday LOL!) when they faded in if you kept your mouse over a thumbnail for a couple seconds, they were okay...but these new ones just pop over everything...

It's like you're in an art gallery trying to quietly view the artwork, but there's someone at each picture loudly barking out a description to you. If this is what they're going to be like, I'd prefer you get rid of them completely and just put the views & comments stats back under the thumbnail like they were "pre-upgrade."

Creating the new gallery layout shouldn't be an exercise in trying to fit every possible bell-and-whistle into the design. It should be sleek and light-weight, easy to use so it enhances the viewing experience...not hinder it.
