The reason the "real name" info was removed was to comply with COPPA.

Much improved?
Here's what I see:
Pros:
selectable number of images per row
selectable number of rows per page
large image resize function
Cons:
slower reponse (by using php plus having to query the actualy site)
"recent" view includes avatars
no color coded directory/file names
no filenames at all
does not work in Netscape 4.x (and probably other legacy browsers)
I won't comment on the page design since that is subjective
and I'm admitedly biased :)
Granted the 3 new features above would be nice, and if there is
enough demand for them I will certainly make them a priority.
Also, aside from the fact that it shouldn't be necessary to have
a redundant interface, it is extremely bad netequitte. Remember
the controversey surrounding "reframing" other pages? This is
much worse in that is extracts essentially all of the content of a
site, and redisplays it elsewhere.
While I greatly appreciate constructive criticism of the Brickshelf
design, this is the wrong thing to do.

Ideally, Brickshelf would actually resample the images when they are uploaded (with the option not to resample for wallpapers and such) This would save bandwidth, especially if BMPs were automatically resaved as JPG as well. --Bram (21 years ago, 10-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)
