Just spotted this. The [Tag Whole Gallery] java window is too large for the screen on my phone. The text section scrolls if necessary(landscape) but the fill in section is mainly off screen all the time.

I'm using an Android on an HTC Onex.


Also:
The Images Uploaded to Dakka figure varies depending on where I read it. I know it's got something to do with an image I deleted but I still think they are all intended to show the current number of images in the gallery.
My Profile Page: 154 Images Uploaded
Gallery Home Summary: 153 Images Uploaded
Profile Summary(beside posts): 147 Images Uploaded


Lastly:
Is this information up to date?
It is VERY IMPORTANT that you give every single file you upload a unique name (This is the 'name' you give to the file when you upload it, NOT the actual name of the file on your local computer).

If you upload a file and with the same name as a previously uploaded item, IT WILL JUST OVERWRITE THE PREVIOUS ITEM. So if you upload five images and name them all "Necron Lord" then you will ultimately only have one image uploaded to the system (the last one you uploaded).

To ensure that other users don't accidentally overwrite your images, you should always make sure to include your user name in the image title. For example, if I was going to upload several images of a Necron Lord I would name them "yakface-Necron Lord front", "yakface-Necron Lord side", etc.

If it is I am going to have a looong session of renaming every image in my gallery...

That disclaimer is for the article (wiki) system ONLY (only images uploaded using the article upload system, not the gallery)...where were you seeing that exactly?

Basically in a wiki, when you upload an image, whatever name you give it becomes that image name for the entire wiki system. And if you later upload another image using the same name (or someone else does) it just replaces the previous image with the new one you've just uploaded.

But again, this only matters for images uploaded in the article system, not those uploaded in the gallery...and FYI if you're uploading an image to the article system, the gallery automatically makes a duplicate and puts it into your Dakka gallery. So if you or someone else comes along and uploads another image using the same name in the article system and replaces the old image, this WILL NOT affect the duplicate copy of that image that was added to the Dakka gallery...as that is actually an additional copy of the original uploaded pic.

Ohhh! I'm embarrassed to say I wasn't aware of a seperate upload system for the article section. I read and pulled the information from your article so it should have been obvious. Thanks for explaining that to me, I'm amazed how you always find the time to answer all this stuff in so much detail.

So what about the other two things?



Update: Logging out and in refreshed the number beside my posts but I still think there is an error of one in two of them.

The other two things are more of Legoburner's area of expertise, so I will leave them for him to comment on when he finds the time.

Yeah the count is slightly off due to a glitch in my code. I'll add it to my long list of very minor things to fix
