I haven't had a chance to work on it this week, It's in beta testing on my forum site now. I have looked at the possibility of adding the rating system and I might actually be able to get that in this release.

As far as HUWR mod for upload/attachment goes, I wasn't aware of it when I started working on this mod, and felt that I was really after something for images anyway. The free component does not resize for thumbnail, but my understanding is that the full blown component does allow for some image manipulation by the server, which is another reason I went with the component. Also security is another one, with the component you don't have to open a hole to allow users access to a directory where they may be able to upload and execute a file (if the permissions aren't correct).

Anyway, I like the ideas presented here and will certainly look into the modifications. I will also look into the new portal system as well as HuwR's upload/attachment mod as an option. (for those of you who cannot install a component on the server) I really wanted to do it all with VBScript or JavaScript myself, but found too many problems trying to get a reliable upload that could be controlled properly.

Well, I just wanted to give you an update and if you want to check out the beta code you can try my test forum at http://forums.megashare.net/ feel free to upload any decent photos you have on your hard drive and play around with the gallery. I'd like to know if anybody has any problems with it, just in case I've missed something.

Cross your fingers and hope I can get the Admin stuff done this weekend so I can release the code sometime next week

Regards,
Obewanz
