Original Post
What we would be creating is something like a GDS for art. The forum post page would be used to upload one (or more?) images. The software could create thumbnails similar to what the GDS does. The images would have to be categorized and then you have a basic gallery page that shows all the image thumbnails for a particular category. Each individual image could link to the forum post associated with that image along with the full-sized image. Voting could store the vote information in one of the reply custom fields. Each reply row in forum_reply has three custom fields where anything can be stored and accessed within the stylesheet. Those fields being R_CustomData1, R_CustomData2, and R_CustomData3.. I use them for voting in the books section. The sum of the votes could be stored in a table for individual images. A table row might be something like: image_id, ..., vote_sum, vote_count In any case, the idea is to adopt features from deviantart but make it for game developer artists. --- Michael Tanczos
