@ Kristi:

I'm not trying to be snarky about this -- it was a serious question. I've read all the Forum posts, and I'm sure you have too. It's easy to see that people are upset, but in the midst of all that I've seen more than one suggestion, and most of the important ones have been requested many times. Larger image size, uniform and self-generating thumbs, page numbers rather than infinite scroll, and correct gallery stats are just some of the specific requests I've seen over and over again. I hope you won't dismiss people's suggestions and ideas because they are surrounded by high emotion, hurt feelings, and frustration.

One of the previously pressing issues, that of the 1000 character text size, has already been fixed. Thank you for that!

I can imagine how frustrating it is for you to read nothing but yelling and negativity, especially when it's obvious that you all put a lot of time and energy into this, but limiting constructive ideas to a personal site mail means nobody in the community sees those hopefully constructive ideas. When people know an issue has been brought up and subsequently changed for the better, I think that will go a long way toward calming the waters.
