The new Knight Realms Gallery! was created by GJSchaller (GJSchaller)
The new Photo & Art Gallery is online!

My main goal was to get the move to the new gallery done, and the site back up, ASAP - it took several hours to do. There's going to be a few things to sort out still - I'll post a few I know about already here, if you run into any issues, please reply to this thread, and I'll look into fixing them.

1) The Awards and Past Events are currently going Old to New, not New to Old - I'll correct this likely later this week.

2) Fan Art permissions are not set back up yet - I will be restoring ownership of the albums to their owners over the next week.

3) Some punctuation - namely apostrophes - have some ? in place of them or next to them. I'll look into cleaning this up.

If you see any other issues, please post them here!

Mobile Link fixed.

I should mention that none of this was possible without the assistance of Mr. Joe Hines - he did a lot of the coding that brought over the images and text from the old Gallery! Thank you, Joe!

If you have a Fan Art Gallery on the KR Website, you *should* have the ability to go in and edit / add images again. The only exception would be people who don't have accounts any more (from a much older version of the website).

Please take a moment to go to the Gallery, click on "User Panel" in the upper left corner, and make sure you can access your gallery!

Folks, after a discussion during the Staff meeting this week, we've decided to turn off the Rating feature of the Gallery.

Simply put... KR should never become a popularity contest. We don't want someone getting hit with a bunch of 1s, or only select people getting all the 5s. Unfortunately, past experience has shown us that this is the end result of such things.

Please enjoy the Favorites, and the other new features I'll be adding this weekend - Tagging will be coming soon!

The headshots on the front page of the website are sometimes "blurry" ... after some investigation it looks like there are occasionally thumbnail images that are being stretched to fit.

They're cached versions - if you do a hard refresh, they should clear up. (Chrome is, surprisingly, terrible at this - you may need to empty your cache.)
