Due to some changes I'm planning to how gallery thumbnails work, keeping the external gallery generator functional will likely be a bit challenging.

I'm not seeing a lot of activity for this in the recent site access logs, but before I decide whether to get rid of it or put in the effort to adapt it to the new system, I would like to know if anyone is still using it for its intended purpose, and if so, how and where.

My input is adapting to the new system you have in mind has priority over keeping a mostly defunct functionality and facing extra challenges because of this smile.gif

"No fucks could be given" isn't usually the answer I'm looking for, but in this case, that's perfect. Aand it's gone.

What the hell *was* the gallery code generator anyway?

EDIT: Waaait you added more vertical space in the right hand <div>, don't dot that please. It screws my searchmode script for no apparent reason.

Old look:

For 10 years of my life I have refused to add if-else blocks in order to support internet explorer idiocy, am not going to start doing it now in order to support google chrome's idiocy. Sorry folks. As harsh as the advice sounds my advice will be: use a browser that follows IETF standards.

A relic from the past.

Just padding out the vertical space until something else needs to be slotted in there. You can easily tweak the .g2 and .gsp padding values to fit other things.

Too much work. Just dumped it over the title (and below the place where HV REs happen, to not destroy that by mistake).

Since all heights but the title are done in fixed size that's probably the safest place to add new buttons/links. (made this post just to remember this fact myself and not search for it the next time).

That line gives me nightmares at work when IT deletes functions, and features that end up creating tons of workload for people.

IT: We can't be bothering supporting this feature so we are just letting you know we are deleting it

Workers: Holy shit we need that function, the manual process will kill us all with workloa...

IT: Annnd its gone.

I never saw that use for the external gallery code generator. Might have been some people that had a niche scripted use for it, though don't see any fan fare or hoorah with its removal, so it was probably antiquated.
