Changes to the gallery
Minitokyo
The following changes have occured to the gallery:
Bigger 'large' thumbnails:
The thumbnails used on the view single gallery
items page have increased in dimensions from 320px to 500px in width.
Also their jpg quality has increased. A similar quality increase is planned for
the small thumbnails.
Duplicate interception
A feature has been added to preemptively intercept duplicate uploads. Every
submission is checked to see if it has been previously uploaded
already.
Title and Description made optional for
scans
Since a lot of times, neither is really necessary.
New browsing format for wallpapers.
To include some more information, and give each entry a little more attention.

About scans description: I agree with making it 'optional', but why suddenly
hide them all? :o
I was nearly shocked when I saw my scans without my descriptions XD
I know sometimes is just stupid to write "not my scan" or similar
crappy stuff, but sometimes it could be useful for people to know more about the
scan... my two cents.

I hate when scanned characters' skin turns out yellow... YELLOW!

How is that done? by checking for dimensions?
I still think there should be a max-height to thumbnails, so that long images don't have huuuuge thumbs XD

What sorcery is this? That sounds cool, I wanna see/know how it works.
And as for the option for description on scans, that sounds ok. Can we have some sort of "show/hide description" or "More info" button or option for the viewers if the submitter writes a description?

Kind of technical. Let's say you can extract some sort of signature from each
image (which is unique). So you only have to compare all the signatures for
duplicates. Try uploading an image that already exists on Mt and it should fail
:)

Yep, this would be awesome!

Not sure if I should post this here, but was the option for titles and descriptions only for scans? Or for wallpapers as well? 'Cause now there aren't any titles or descriptions for some of the wallpapers submitted in the last few hours.

Cool it works :) This would help a lot with deleting dups. Although, does it work for similar scans? (like scans that have the same image, but different dimensions) And does it slow down upload time? 'cause it has to check against other images.
Not sure if this is related, but it is about the recent changes to image urls for thumbnails. Since they're now randomly put into folders, the image url changes depending on the image. So would it be possible to implement a new BBCode tag, like for example "[thumb233342]" , where 233342 is the ID of the image, that gets the image URL and converts it to the thumbnail image? Kinda like the [group*=groupName ] tag?

Oh yeah... I also noticed that gallery items don't seem to have their own page
titles anymore. So for example when I go to a wall, it just shows - Minitokyo
instead of [wall title] - Minitokyo. I kind of miss having the titles of
walls/indy art show... especially when I have multiple tabs open :(

...also, I've been commenting on scans and when I click "submit," I
get taken to the "Go Advanced..." page instead.

Can we only restrict the Quarantine gallery to mods (and maybe elites) only? There's no need to show it to members or random ppl (not logged in) on the art page.

I like the new format for wallpapers ^^ (doesn't look the best on 800x600 screen, but I'm guessing not a lot of people use that resolution anymore anyway), although I don't think it's necessary to put the number of faves in the summary, just the title, submitter, and category are good enough imo.

woot! I love the new format for wallpapers. But I'm not sure if we need the borders, that's just a random thought. And perhaps this new format should be featured on indy arts section as well. ^^
I agree with Maple, I don't think it's that necessary to put number of faves. The highlight/elite tag looks kinda odd to me, maybe put it under the thumbnails or info?
Also I noticed the "Switches" on Browsing Options n the left panel aren't properly listed. And I'd quote Flyin that the page titles for walls and indy arts are left empty (besides the "- Minitokyo" part)

Perhaps taking this new wallpapers section on top of the thread section could
have an even better effect on giving the walls some attention (in the guestbooks
that is). I like how it looks but as Maple & gaara I feel the fav count
isn't that needed over there. Wouldn't annoy me if it stays either.

Also just noticed that the borders don't work out that well in the Indy Art
section as the shapes of submissions vary.
There is nothing you can do... yes I've lost my faith in you.

I feel that the Fav count isn't needed, the title and series and who submitted the wall is enough. The better and bigger thumbnail is welcome, now you can see the image more clearly but sometimes thumbnails for scans can take sometime to load, maybe it's my connection? I also agree that title and description for scans isn't really needed.

I like seeing the favorites, personally. I do like seeing that it's elite/hilighted. The format looks nice in the gallery and on my userpage, but the borders don't look as nice on the userpage as they do in the gallery. The resolution of the wallpaper/indy art would be very helpful to people with slow internet connections when deciding whether or not to full view a file, and for everyone else that is looking for a wall specifically to fit their monitor.
