I prefer the one that I put together. I like that the pictures are displayed without additional clicking. From the title of either my or propyro's thread it is obvious that pictures are contained within, so no one should be surprised when their browser slows. I use this site mostly from my home 56k connection, and I am willing to let a reasonably-sized photo load if the payoff is something that I want to see (like game collection photos).
Personally, I like that the first page is for the pictures and the subsequent pages are for comments. I modeled the thread after the old General Games Discussion Forumite Gaming Setup Thread that has since been de-stickied. We have the "front page," and other buttons for navigating the thread, so it doesn't seem unwieldy to me. The first page is essentially locked, so we have organization within the thread. We can delete the submission version of the photos (something I didn't previously bother to do), so that they only exist on the front page and we don't have "double vision," if you will. That would make the system more efficient.
Really though, we've had a lack of support in terms of CCU members' pictures, so maintaining or redoing the thread seems a moot point. Here's the deal, members: If you post good, discussion-producing photos of your game collections or gaming setups, I'll think genuinely good thoughts about you for at least several seconds. This offer good until November 1, 2005, limit 1 per customer. Now, we should get some action!
