I am using Brickshelf for my own LEGO-related pictures, mostly because that
is where I look to find inspirations for new creations in LEGO. But I would
like to see the Brickshelf system changed, maybe more to
http://gallery.menalto.com/ which I use for my other pictures (that can be
seen here: http://f0nix.wert.no/ )

These are the things that Brickshelf lacks that I really want to have:
- Control over the order photos are displayed in without having to prefix • the
filename with a number for sorting.
I miss that too. I hate to have one copy of the picture that I want to be
the icon for that folder and rename it to a name that is sertain to come on
top of the list.

- Ability to easily reorganize photos/sets.  You can't even rename/move a
directory in Brickshelf!
- Captions and descriptions for each photo.
- A mechanism for people to post comments.

All of those things you can do in the Photo Gallery I'm using for my other
pictures.

- Better integration into blog sites.
I'm not sure what you mean with this...

Another functions that you can get in Gallery is RSS feed. You can configure
it to show only the newly added photos, or only the comments added to your
photos.

In fact these are all features of Flickr and not of Brickshelf.  So should • I
switch?  The only thing really holding me back is the fact that a lot of • people
look to Brickshelf for Lego pictures, not Flickr.  Is that still true?

I have not seen Flickr so I can not say to use that or not. But I use almost
only Brickshelf for LEGO related pictures and looks at it each day to see
recent pictures.

  Brickshelf or Flickr?
 
For years I, like many AFOL's, have posted my MOC and Lego event pictures to Brickshelf. And I really appreciate Kevin's support of the Lego community through the years, especially back when disk space and network access were a lot more expensive (...) (19 years ago, 29-Dec-05, to lugnet.general)
