photo gallery page for IC/GBs
« on: Sun, 29 January 2017, 17:55:06 »
I like browsing the IC/GB pages to see what new keysets members have created, but it's very tedious and time-consuming to have to click forward and back through all of them.  What would be neat is a photo gallery that contained one image of the creator's choosing to showcase the set.  This could be a KLE screen capture for early-stage ideas, or a full 3D render for more fleshed out sets.

Users could then browse the gallery and click on an image to be taken directly to the IC/GB thread.  I'm not sure which photo sharing/hosting service would work best for this and any solution would require active work from a set's creator to make sure their set was showcased in the gallery, but this seems like it would make it much easier for users to browse available IC/GBs.

This is a great idea.
