the following i suppose is not really a bug issue, but more one of functionality, so you may deem it as entering the 'layout' aspect of the site

Area of concern: Archived pages that deal with 'Featured Galleries'

Issue: Ton of either dead links, or links that do not take you to a specific image as expected, but instead drop you into the specified gallery with the most recent postings

Example: below is a screenshot of the results i got using the Site Search functionality. for this example, i used Markus Vogt for my search since i felt pretty positive that his work would give me lots of links to archived pages. the links with red dots indicate that if you click on any of those links that start off with the phrase 'Renderosity Gallery of the Week', you'll be taken to an archived page that lists the featured artists of that week within the chosen gallery/genre. pick a link, any link, from the Site Search results & go to an archived page and you'll see what i am referring to - broken links, or missing thumbs that are showing as still being linked to maybe the thumbnail's full-sized image? but no, you will get plopped down into the What's New of whatever gallery/genre the archived page is 'parented' to... and the reason i am not taking screenshots of any of the archived pages is because not all archived pages are broken in exactly the same way. i leave it to someone from behind the scenes to have the adventure of exploring that fun maze...
