Small changes for gallery & new layout

I made few improvements to the gallery. Now there's next- and previous-links on each picture. Those links shows next/previous picture from that same category.



Then I added a possibility to show your pictures also to non-members. You can choose which categories and poses can be viewed without logging in. You can set that from your "Pictures"-page. From there, select category or some pose and check "Show these pictures also to non-members".




New layout

I have also been working with new layout. It doesn't (yet) differ much from the old one, but already contains some new things. I'll try to come up with more improvements and maybe release it some day. :) If you have any ideas about the new layout post them here.

One sneak peek:

New gallery

I made a new gallery for the site with AJAX. It focuses more on showing posing pictures, but also other pictures can be uploaded. In gallery, any two posing pictures can be compared side by side. So it's easy to compare your current condition to your previous one or to some other user's condition. Every picture can also be commented by users. Gallery works best with Firefox- and Opera-browsers. With Internet Explorer there might be (at least) some visual problems.



Pictures have some extra information under them. First there is a date when the picture was taken. Posing pictures have also the weight of the user in picture.

While browsing posing pictures you can select pictures to be viewed in "Comparison"-page. In Comparison-page you can compare two posing pictures. Pictures can also be selected from the Comparison-page. To select pictures from gallery, click "1" or "2" under any picture. When picture is selected, the number has light blue background.



Uploading picture

You can browse your pictures and add new ones from your "Pictures"-page. When uploading a picture, you must select it's type. It can be either pose- or other picture. When uploading pose-pictures you also can set, which pose it has and how much did you weight while taking that picture.

So now everybody starts uploading their pictures, so we can see how the gallery works. :) If you have any problems with this gallery, just let me know.
