and Gallery 3 is going to be released soon . Aren't we as linux users
on Cutting edge ?

Agree but I didn't ask for a candy template which has all that Ajax
features which suck the memory/processing memory . I just asking for a
nice looking gallery template which is *usable* :)

I haven't been to any of the hantslug meets so I neither could upload
or recognise members .
I will surely come to the next meet and do it :)

Well no wrong in using the old gallery software . But the reason for
my mail was the gallery didn't render properly in my Minefield 3.6a (
firefox 3.6 alpha ) browser .

I had to reload the page sometimes to get the gallery right . This was
happening only in Album display page . Hence my opinion is to move
from the old un supported software to something new .
