Hi Fishtails,
Parakalo!
Based on my installation I am
not happy with Photopost. With all do respect for the developers of the software - they have done a good job, however because of the fact that they tried (and succeeded) to integrate it with the most popular boards out there they have provided a more generic model than what I expected.
Basically I want to start working on it and heavily modify it to match my needs. For instace there are no templates, which is a bit of a pain for all my users, who are used to them. The image upload facility is fantastic, since it automatically creates thumbnails, medium and large images, there are loads of checks around for the images that are missing. The best feature is the approval of images uploaded by users from the administrator. However it still lacks small things like the arrow buttons to navigate through pages (clicking on that small number at the bottom can be a drag sometimes) and also a sortorder colum which will allow you to sort your photos in a particular database with the order you want them and not alphabetically or by views. Finally the cookies (as I have explained in my previous post) that are used from both Photopost and Threads have to match for complete integration with the users table, otherwise it doesn't work and until I do something about it (move server or change the cookie mechanism of Photopost) neither does my test board. These little things make me unhappy but if all software was perfect then this forum wouldn't have existed would it?
This is my own opinion based on the needs of my forum. Others might be very happy with the software as it is.
On a more personal note, I have been both to Skopelos and Karditsa. I have a friend of mine that lives in Volos and has relatives in Karditsa. I come from Thessaloniki myself but I always considered Volos one of my favorite cities since you have within 30 minutes islands and mountains. I wouldn't personally go to Greece during the Olympics. I hate Athens - which was, is and will most definitely be a huge madhouse - especially with the Olympics. Try something outside Athens, so that you can relax but also have access to the capital. Athens busy? Nah! Only half the population lives there... How can it possibly be busy.
Many regards to yourself and your wife from a fellow Hellin.
Warm regards
Nikos
