In general, my members are greatly enjoying the photoplog user photo gallery, but I keep on getting complaints about the amount of scrolling required on the image display page.
I've therefore taken some time to modify that page and I'd like to share the results here. With the standard installation of photoplog, the main photo cannot be seen on typical resolutions without scrolling (assume a small logo/header like in screenshots 4 and 5). After my edits, all 1280x1024 users and some 1280x800 users will no longer need to scroll!
I suggest that you also look into this problem a bit, since even on the demo I need to scroll to see most photos (fully), with both the navbar and filmstrip collapsed. I am using a 1280x800 laptop.

Feel free to check out any of my other changes view viewing the live gallery here:

P.S. another thing that I've noticed is that the upload link does not appear for you when you're viewing your own photos or when viewing a category. I don't know why, but to fix the problem I changed the conditional to <if condition="!is_member_of($bbuserinfo, X, Y)"> where X and Y are usergroups that cannot upload photos.
