Hey, i actually like the new galleries. CSS and PHP has really opened up some stuff for the average person to do. and besides, now the gallery is customizable! go to the gallery, then go to "my options" and try fiddling with the CSS and see what happens.

I'm optimistic... one of these years I'll understand the reasoning behind clicking on a thumbnail and seeing a squished, pixellated, horribly ugly rendition of an image that someone has worked so hard to achieve ... spent so much time rendering and post processing until it's just perfect... seemingly for the sole reason that three clicks are better than one when trying to see the finished item.  It boggles the mind and deflates the spirit..."
as far as i'm concerned, the littler image hasn't decreased in quality at all...on the contrary, it's made a lot of things a lot easier, there's nothing worse than going into a page and having the image blow your browser up to the size of jupiter. "hey! where'd the dang text go?"
that's my input.
