im just curious as to whether or not development has started on the next version of 4images. i havent seen any news about 1.8...so i assume no. correct me if im wrong.
i do have some feature requests for future versions though...
1) modified skinning engine. the current engine parses html templates for each page. the problem is that a lot of elements are redundant and have to be redone for each page. perhaps it is better to chop up the most used parts, and put that in its own template. a wrapper could be used to define the layout of each part. invision board makes good use of this concept.
2) a page dedicated to the last added comments. this page owuld go along with the 'top images' and 'new images'. its like 'new comments'.
3) the current template set is really awkward. for beginners it is hard to customize. the main problem with it is the fixed widths. this should really be percentage widths that can adapt to any resolution.
anyhoo...thats all i can think of at the moment.
