After all the discussion in the past few weeks, we're looking at making a photo gallery available to our users. I haven't worked out all the details yet, but we do have a demo up at:
<ul type="square">[*]http://www.ford-diesel.com/gallery/[/list]
Is this something you would be interested in? Depending on how much time it will involve, we may have to charge a small fee to setup access for each user. I'm still working on that part. Also, the colors and such will change to match the rest of the site of course.
Jason,
Looks good !
Another plus for the site !
Thanks,
CountryCruizer

My Pics
If you are going to setup galleries based on the years of vehicles (i.e. a different section for each year of diesel trucks), then it will work. It would be nice to search just for specific years also. For example, I like looking at pics of 99+ SuperDuties/Excursions and really don't care much about seeing pre 99's mainly because most mods to those vehicles will not be the same. No offense to you pre-99 diesel owners, of course. Otherwise, if it lacks the abilities to limit your searches like this, then I would say keep looking for a different gallery app.
Otherwise, if I wanted to look for people who had "boggers" in their descriptions for tires, it looks like the searching feature would work for that. Do you know which fields the search engine searches in? It's hard to tell right now since there are no descriptions in the pictures that are posted.
One other thing to consider is the ability to search for member names/forum nicknames in the galleries. Many members will like the ability to search for someone's vehicle pictures in particular. Right now if I search for "administrator" it doesn't produce any results which tells me that I can't search for a member name unless it is included somewhere in the photo album description.
