Photo Gallery Software Upgraded

Last night I successfully completed an upgrade of our forum gallery software, PhotoPost, to the latest stable version. The upgrade should help fix several existing bugs and provides numerous enhanced functions such as Avatars and Signatures in photo comments.

The following is the full list of changes as provided by PhotoPost:
x Admin option to skip deleting source files during bulk processing
x Admin option to skip watermarking of images during bulk upload
x ECards - expire after period of time
x ECards - email notification of read card
x Improved Upgrade scripts
x Avatars pulled from forums (for comments)
x Signatures pulled from forums (for comments)
x Usergroup option to enable/disable image/comment moderation (removes two options from Admin Options and makes this a Usergroup setting only)
x Display photo data only if present (no blank fields)
x Expand/Collapse categories on main index
x Improved Approve Page / Bulk Actions layout - toggle for switching default choice
x Option to turn on/off preview of next/prev photos on showphoto
x Option to turn on/off slideshows
x Template for thumbnail display
x Selectable thumbnail borders (photo stacks, negative and plain included)
x Admin Options - added acceptable file types for multimedia files
x Admin Options - added acceptable file types for image files
x Subscribe to Gallery - users can subscribe to receive emails of new uploads to a category
x Change Albums layout to a gallery style with thumbnails
x Removed option to have Members Gallery show all photos by default - Members Galleries display only images uploaded to that category with a link to search for all of a users photos (this is for consistency and simplification of code - also this was one of the most confusing options to our users)
x Updated Members Gallery templates (uses new thumbnail template)
x Updated Gallery templates (uses new thumbnail template)
x Removed unnecessary query for every comment displayed
x Modified formatppdate to allow for custom date formats in call
x Categories tempalte gets facelift to use menu class for column headings
x Restored the item descriptions to the Admin Options page
x Remove acounts that have not been verified within 14 days from user table (Internal only)
x Mods to printheader/printfooter to avoid displaying external header/footer files in some cases
x Mods to the popup code to allow for use outside just help.
x Slideshow has been seperated from showphoto and made into its own template - making it much faster and requiring less processing.
x Improved Slideshow when no headers requested (formats page properly)
x Slideshow uses medium image when available
x Added code to trim titles to 22 characters when displayed in showgallery
x Added "Use Admin Default" to theme choices for categories so it can be reset to default once set to something else.
x Scan database feature to resync photo/comment usernames from user database
x Removed two queries for each profile retrieved for comments on vB systems.
x Improved template formatting
x Do not display quick preview when no prev or next images are in category (also, do not display empty cells)
x IMG tag add for bb code
