We're getting closer! Here is a peek at our pre-production image gallery as the contractor punch list gets shorter and the number of outstanding modifications to install gets smaller. This weekend was a doozy - adding multi-lightboxes. New York City GLRF Member Bobbbb and I exchanged some emails to come up with a more user friendly name for 'lightbox.' Maybe the rest of you know what that means but when I first saw it, I was like ... say what????

It's web lingo for a digital photo album but who knows that. So the decision was to change all the coding to show 'MyFavBox' which I hope will be instantly understandable.

This online image gallery, powered by the 4images.de script, is packed with an amazing assortment of community sharing features. Most of them have post-script download modifications which I am discovering is the normal creative way online for dedicated enthusiasts.

Here are some of the major features in the Gotcha! Gallery:

 

• Member multi-upload of images
  
• Member personal galleries so when Atlanta GLRF gal cassimn sails the seven seas, she can share her pics of living the highlife on a cruise ship in her personal gallery even if it has nothing to do with rowing.
  
• Rate pics
  
• Add pics to multiple MyFavBoxes, so for me, that would be my hotties, my fav dogs, and as you'll see, in dedication to Chicago GLRF member Justinieniii, a MyFavBox called 'Maman, j'ai faim!' You can even have private albums in case you don't want your bf to know you've got a few pics of a certain strokeseat ...
  
• A cool Shout Out feature which acts like a guestbook and a "nice pics of the Thames dude!" kind of thing ...
  
• Comment on pics
  
• Send an eCard feature
  
• Add your own subcategory to the gallery so you don't have to wait for a certain GLRF Team member to get around to adding a subcategory for a regatta on Vancouver Island or Bavaria
  
• Best of all, I think, is the ability to upload your own vids as well as share cool vids you have found on the web so everyone can see them...
  
• And ... categories for any and all groups from Network Now! (thanks to Berlin GLRF member jenssteckel for his input on Gay Pride categories and other functional items
  

So how soon for the launch? We have one more mod to install for the personal galleries, and then we enable the gallery for single sign on just like everything else on GLRF so you sign on once and you can bewitched wiggle wiggle wiggle your way everywhere without even one glance from Endora!
