Image and Video Section Improvements

Phase 1 of our Image and Video gallery revamps are well underway, and today we're pleased to bring you two major changes to the Image gallery and one from the Video gallery.

Firstly, our Image gallery has undergone an extensive revamp to the browsing pages, as seen here. The new version of our browse pages allow the display of additional images on each page, and include more information for that image: rating, number of comments, number of views, name, and the member who uploaded the image.

You can also sort the gallery with a number of filters in the new gallery navigation menu to the left. If you want to only view the Top Rated Screen Shots from this week, then you can.

The other change goes hand-in-hand with the Video change, which is a newly redesigned display page. Using the video I'm So Sick as an example, the "About the Video" section can be expanded to display all of the various codes to share the video on Curse, through HTML, and on BBCode-supported forums. You can also see the number of views, comments, and members who have added the video to their favorites here.

There are also two new boxes which can be expanded and collapsed at your leisure, which display additional videos or images from the channel, and a second which displays related videos.

Finally, under the video/image you have a link that lets you add to your favorites, the rating bar, and a list of recent ratings by members of the Curse community.

We're still not done improving these sections - especially the Image gallery - so community feedback is invaluable in this process. If you have any ideas for improvements, please visit our Feedback & Suggestions forum.
