Gallery - New User - Silly Questions :)

[Bill Edwards]

I've been using the forum software for several years, but am extremely new to using the Gallery Application. Until now we have disabled the Gallery and allowed members to post photos in a "Photo Forum" within forum topics. I am testing the Gallery to see if it can meet our needs.

The first query I have is:-

Where a member posts photos in our photo forum, other members can "Like" the topic. In Gallery they can "Like" the album AND each individual photo. Is it possible to prevent the liking of each photo and limit it to just the album??

Many thanks

Bill

Can I change the 100 image limit on uploads?

No.  That's hard coded by IPS and bloody hell annoying.

More questions if anyone can assist please

How do I change the default size displayed in the lightbox? I appreciate I can change the size of the image, but then I lose the navigation. I want to step through the photos at full size.

How do force members to post in an album? A member recently posted images directly into the category - made a mess lol  

The photos are uploaded in reverse order. How do I correct this?

From Tech Support - this can't be changed

Previous versions (early 3x versions at least) had it at a max of ten queued. This was later changed to 100, but its stuck at that since.
