Ken,
Let me respond to your points by number:
1. I have no problem with limiting full-size viewing to Registered Users
Only. If I want to use full access to an image, I can use the LUG gallery.
2. I have used a 900 vertical limit for some time, and it seems to be a
good compromise. It may require a little scrolling, but that is no real
problem for most folks.
3. I have explored the possibility of adding an image to the TOPE gallery,
and I can't find the "replicate function". Enlighten me.
