Picture Gallery

I'm considering adding a picture gallery which would be integrated into the forum as per the attached image. Of course, you can upload pictures in your posts, but this new feature would allow members to upload to a gallery which would be accessible to all. It would also allow for larger pictures and different file formats:

"The images can be up to 5 MB each with the file extensions gif, jpg, jpeg, png. The minimum dimensions are 400×300 pixels up to a maximum of 3,000×3,000 pixels. You can upload images using a Zip-, Tar-, or Gzip-archive."

I think this feature would be best used as a picture guide for Argentina/Buenos Aires and would be particularly useful for newcomers to this country. I.E. not Facebook style pictures of fluffy kittens etc.

This is what the added feature would look like:

I personally believe that adding unique features to our forum will make it stand out from the crowd. What do others think?

Please add your comments.

Quote from Carlos

I think it is a very good idea. You mean images of Buenos Aires, or others parts of the country as well?

Yes indeed Carlos.

There are some imminent software updates for the forum core, so I'm just waiting for some questions to be answered at the moment, so as soon as I know, I'll update everyone.

The new Gallery feature has now been added to the forum as will be seen by a new menu item at the top of the forum page.

Edit:

Please ensure that images are no bigger than 3Mb and 3000 x 3000 px. If in doubt, you can resize the image online using:
