Forum Based Galleries

Forum based galleries SUCK. What ever happened to standard user galleries with a comment section? Don't get me wrong, I love A.S. but this trend of using forums for displaying graphical content is horribly inadequate. Off-site linking, confusing BB code. The html/graphic insertion capabilites of these forums was an after-thought. It's clearly not the most efficient method of displaying your art.

Showing an image?

Making a thumbnail a link?

[ url]blabla.com/big_pic.jpg][ img]blabla.com/small_pic.jpg[ /img][ /url]

Wow, that was certainly tough and worth compaining about.

The gallery is meant to be separate from the board, but together.

There aren't that many options, especially for gallery software.

And for topic pertaining to the board itself, there's a Comments and Suggestions forum .

i like it. that way you can comment on the screenshots...like "what is the thing you are using to display that analog clock?" or "where did you get that rainlendar skin?" i actually like it.
