Ok I'm working on a solution for the Photo Album. The more I thought about it, the more I didn't want to change the SShow & SShine forum. I want to keep that to show off cars as it was originally intended. I have made changes to that gallery forum, increasing the number of images per post from 4 to 6; and increasing the individual image size limit from 200Kb to 3.5Mb (which is a good figure for typical cellphone camera images). Note: There currently is an issue uploading large image sizes causing a fatal error. I've reached out to the message board developer / community for help resolving.
So the solution for the Photo Album will be a NEW gallery forum titled 'Member Photo Album / Gallery'. This forum will have a maximum number of images per post set to 12 with (hopefully) an individual image size limit set to 3.5Mb one the fatal error issue is resolved. I will also remove the limitations on edit and delete time for this forum, and remove the limitation on images of for-sale items. The forum has been created and tested, but I'm keeping it hidden until I get answers to the fatal error issue. I may have to back off on the image size limit.
I'll make a separate announcement post here in MonteCarloSS.com News forum when the new forum is activated.
