Default Picture Gallery Frustration

I think the picture gallery is a great thing on Club Lexus but there are a few things that make me hate using it. First off, the newest pictures uploaded are on top of the page and take up half of it. I'd like to see them maybe the first time I enter the gallery, instead of having it take up the top half of the page on each page, making me scroll down to see what I want to see. Second, the search is useless because all the picture names are something like IMG 2834 or DSC34382 and I can't search for what I want to see. I enjoy looking at the pictures that other members post up but I simply don't have the time to go through hundreds of pages, especially when I have to scroll past the new pictures every time. Perhaps you guys could make it more user friendly?

Good suggestions Chris.

I can't make the newest pictures go away without getting rid of them entirely, but I'm going to try something new. I reduced the number of them that show down from 12 to 8 (two rows instead of three) and I moved them to the bottom of the page so you don't have to scroll past them to see the folders or images.

On the search being useless, well that's your fault. And my fault And everyone else who uploads pictures without putting a description or keywords in when the pictures are uploaded. THAT is what you search on, not the file name as you mentioned above (which is usually useless).

Thanks Dave, that's much better. I agree there's nothing that really can be done about the search.

Guilty as charged...whenever I put pics in the gallery its because I want to create a thread or add to a thread that I specifically took the picture for. In all my anxiousness to post, I always skip right past the description part Then I'm too lazy to remember to ever go back and add it in. Maybe one of these days I'll go and edit all my pics with keywords
