First, let me say the Gallery is very cool to browse around, and I like the tag cloud. And, of course, the images submitted are very humbling and inspiring in terms of learning how to work with these models.

I recently started uploading a few pictures, and that's where I have a few questions.

1. It doesn't appear that the individual Galleries have any attributes other than a name. . .Is that correct? I was thinking I'd like to be able to put in a gallery Description, for example, but there doesn't seem to be any way to do that. Or am I missing something?

2. Is there a way to rearrange the order of pictures within a gallery?

3. When tagging from the Personal Gallery Page (tagging a whole gallery), or from places other than the Image screen, The pop-up always shows an empty text box for me to enter tags and I can't see what tags already exist. Is this normal, or am I having browser issues?

4. Is there a way to remove an individual tag from an entire gallery?

Thanks for providing this feature; it's a great repository.

1. Correct, it is just the name. Nothing more is given as it really is just a way of grouping pictures on your user page. The name can be quite long though so most people who need to put a brief description in with he name.

2. Yes and no, it depends what you mean. If you mean you want to link to a gallery then yes, just view all images in the gallery, set the sort order and then copy the URL of the results page. If you mean elsewhere, then no, it uses either random sorting or a complex muddle of logic which displays images based on who is viewing it.

3. This is normal, it is because the system is tagging each image individually, not assigning tags to the entire gallery. This allows a higher rate of precision and generally avoids single images ending up with unrelated tags.

4. Only by going through one image at a time right now I'm afraid.

Glad you like it, I am continually tweaking it so things will hopefully only improve. Not long now until we hit 40K images too
