It's something to keep an eye on. I'm not sure where the point of
diminishing returns is yet.

Well, we can force a random image. I'd rather that each person be
responsible for choosing the image that they want to have represent
them on the main listing. I really don't want to play nanny.

Agreed. But at what cost? Look at the LUG gallery. Even if it went to
30 per page, you'll still have a gob of pages.

I don't know what to do for you. I'm not sure that there is a one size
fits all solution. With the Gallery 2 implementations for TOPE and
LUG, the top status line shows you where you are at all the time. This
Gallery 2 implementation that TOPE and LUG is implementing is very
close to the standards established by Flickr and other on-line image
gallery systems. I can clean up some issues, but others are inherent
to the world we live in.
I'm happy if I can just make it easier to use than the average
television remote.
