I’d like to see:

1. Not only the ability to tag photos with a pre-selected list of keywords (as BrickShelf does) but see only folders/photos tagged with those words (like MOCPages). Also filtering by filetype. If I don’t use LDraw (for instance), I don’t need to see the dat files or anything in a format requiring LDraw.

2. Simple, clear rules for site usage. If it includes moderation (probably necessary, sad to say) then the posting rules/limitations should be spelled out clearly.

3. Maybe an option to switch viewing of comments/text on or off. I like just browsing images (like Brickshelf), but the descriptions as on MOCpages can be useful.

4. Easy downloading of image sets. Maybe this could be a feature for paying users. If I like a bunch of images in a folder, I could check a little box by the thumbnails and the big images would be downloaded as a single gzip/tar/whatever file, instead of having to get each one separately.

That’s all for now...Thanks for asking!
