Upgrades!
There's a couple of upgrades in the works. Most might not be too noticeable, but will certainly help my job.
I'm planning on doing an update to the photo gallery...it should look quite a bit the same..maybe no changes..but on the photo uploads, it will automatically resize your photo if it's above 1024 pixels, and then remove the original. Currently, I have to go through the albums every so often and remove the originals, causing some links to be broken, so this should take care of that problem.
Also planning on updating the message board to help cut down on the number of spammers that register..it involves reinstalling the shoutbox and the two themes again, but I should be able to get it done.
Any questions, let me know...

Got the gallery back up and running within 30 minutes or so.. took a while after that to understand the new coding to add the POTM back in, and to make the menu changes at the top for linking to the main railroadfan.com and message board. I think everything is set now... please check out the gallery, see if you can upload pics... report any issues you have in this thread please.

The search page now has more options... the EXIF information under each photo has some more settings as well.

Fixed the issue with guests not being able to upload files, and also all videos should now be able to play. Thanks for letting me know about these.
