Renamed Gallery on a member Profile - now have two galleries

Installation and Configuration

It occurred to me, as I was pondering why there might be an image gallery limit and that's because you were focused on music, not images, and images put up by bands, etc, would probably be thematically related: here are the photos and videos from last night's gig. Those would probably be relatively small numbers.

I have one member with over 1000 images in one gallery, 1072 to be precise: http://www.thechocolatelife.com/sera.

Feature Request - Drag and Drop rearrangement of Forum categories

Installation and Configuration

Yes, but only if you do it in the right order. You can move the bottom one up first and then getting it in the right order requires an extra click. The difference would greater the more levels you want to move.

Must. Be. Disciplined.

Drag and drop would still be faster.

I am either going to do this tonight or never. There's only two or three things from members but I have done a lot of work in the Forums area before going live. It means copying every page I created and losing any comments on those pages.

Renamed Gallery on a member Profile - now have two galleries

But why was a second gallery created in the first place? I renamed one and ended up with two.

And I think I know why. Somewhere ... there is a hard-coded limit of 500 on the number of images in a gallery.

This user has 548 images. 500 went into the renamed gallery and 48 are in the Vera Hofman gallery. There is an odd number of images in the unsorted gallery, which is what you'd expect when I moved one into another gallery. I am not going to count rows to verify that there are 499 images left in the renamed gallery, but 499 modulo 8 is 3, and that's the number of images in the bottom row.

And elsewhere, like in the form designer.

This using the up arrow is slow.

If not, why not a down arrow? Moving a category down to places now requires moving the two categories below it up.

Not anything urgent. For when there is nothing else to do.

It would be nice to have threading in the site forum which I think you are saying is not supported.

Profile Page - change sort order of comments

Installation and Configuration

I went to http://www.thechocolatelife.com/comment/admin/global

Sort order WAS set to Newest Comment First.

However, just for fun, I turned OFF Enable Threading (as this was one of the capabilities added in the new User Comments module update - and it affects sort order), saved changes, reloaded my profile page and now comments are being displayed Newest First.

I did not check to see if changing the sort order to Oldest first and re-enabling threading would show the comments in the reverse order, but I kinda think it might.

Seems like something might have been introduced in the threading code that affects global sort order.

Renamed Gallery on a member Profile - now have two galleries

Installation and Configuration

http://www.thechocolatelife.com/vera-hofman/gallery

I sent instructions to this member on how to organize their imported photos and did the work for some of the steps.

The default gallery is Vera Hofman, the member's name. I clicked on the gear icon, changed the name (to unsorted images), saved changes ... and now there are two albums. They appear to contain the same images, though the sort order is different.

Profile Page - change sort order of comments

Installation and Configuration

I've tried three different templates to change the sort order. In which template file is this controlled?

Right now, it's displaying OLDEST to NEWEST, I want it to show NEWEST first. I know how to make the changes, just want to know where it is.

TIA

I have now both a Comment back and Reply. Need to think about re-phrasing to reduce confusion.
