I think there may be a bit of a flaw in the design here.

That foldername link HAS to be hand coded. There is no way to walk to
that location and then copy what's in the link box into your cut buffer
to paste, since what's in the link box is a f=nnn type link.

(granted, the tail end of the link is displayed at the top left of the
screen but even assembling that is error prone.)

Even if you go chase the link you posted, it instantly resets to the
f=nnn form.

Hand writing links is error prone and should be avoided. Better to
navigate to the place then copy the link out of the location/link box.

I'm not sure what to recommend but there's something to ponder here that
isn't quite right and you may want to try to fix it if you can, soon.
This gallery thing is growing like wildfire, kudos to you for thinking
of it and making it happen. But the downside is that if you can't fix
it, people will have to reupload etc.
