I have a gallery called "Bryan's Memes". The URL is "bryan/gallery/bryans-memes/all" which is great. Jamroom "gracefully" strips out the apostrophe.
However, inside this gallery I have an uploaded image called "HERE'S JOHNNY.jpg". I am seeing two different URLs for that page. One is "bryan/gallery/14/HERE%27S-JOHNNY.jpg". The other is "bryan/gallery/14/HERE'S-JOHNNY.jpg". They both work. I know they are actually the same URL, but jamroom has both instances referenced on a page. I also have URLs with commas.
I think having a title determine the last part would be good because users will often upload photos with non-descriptive, often numerical naming conventions. You could code "use the title if it exists, otherwise use the file name". The code should strip out invalid characters, of course.
Also, the image URL above loses the gallery name. I think it would be better if the img URL kept the gallery name and was something like "bryan/gallery/14/bryans-memes/heres-johnny" which, in fact, already works!

adding language strings
Design and Skin Customization
I think Brian and Paul have suggested they may be working on a way to add strings to a language file via the ACP. I often do as Michael says and just bypass the language id's altogether, but I think it would be best to use language id's in case I might want to add a language later.
However, I can see the complication in this. My custom id of 100 in the english language would have to match id 100 in spanish, I'm guessing. But what happens if a later jamroom updated language file uses the same id? Wouldn't I want to use something like id 10006 like what happens when you add a field in the form designer? How do you ensure all the custom id's match up? What about all the id's in all the various modules? How does that work?
Also, where does the "use default" button in the ACP get the default string? Is it the language php file?

I see the aws domain there, but I'm not sure why they're involved. This website is hosted on jamroom recommended arvixe and it's a brand new website and domain.
I did go to the link and complete the form.

jr_file file types
Using Jamroom
I've customized template and language, but the not the module itself. I'm running the latest version.
I do have jrFile on another website and I'm able to add jpg.
I was having this issue here and got diverted to something else and never resolved it:
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/using-jamroom/10863/jrfile-not-accepting-jpg#last
I did reload the module (just now) and still can't get any other kind of file besides the default four types to upload on this site. I doesn't matter what I enter into the module's allowed file types field.
You asked to log in and check, Brian, but I don't remember if I had you log in and check or not.

I'm mostly concerned with the urls.
I would not expect my users to have to change the names of their photos for the sake of my website's conventions.
Also, the the url's have urlencoded characters rather than gracefully parsing things like commas and apostrophes, etc. It doesn't make for very friendly urls.
Also, the editor sometimes loses text. I type something in the caption editor and update. It shows on the page. I go to edit it and nothing is showing in the editor. I cancel, return to the page and it still shows, but I can't go back and edit it. I don't think it's happening all the time though, so I haven't narrowed the behavior down consistently.

The correct term is NUMERICAL_DESC, but I'm not sure that's the issue, Michael. numerical_desc gives me the same order as desc.
Why is my list different than Brian's? Brian's list has desc running newest to oldest and mine is the opposite. I just copied and pasted his code as a new page on my site called test.
