    It may be just me but I despise the layout of the pictures. Sure it's fine when you use your keyboard to navigate but for using a mouse it sucks. There also seems to be a problem when on the second image, the previous image doesn't show up on the left side making it impossible to navigate back with a mouse.

    I can't find a way to delete images even though the FAQs mention it.

    Layout seems fine/same on Chrome 7, Firefox 3.6.6 on Win7

    (general rant about web galleries)

    It seems to me that every gallery currently used on websites sucks. Except one: http://boston.com/bigpicture/. I'd really love a Big Picture like layout of pictures. When possible same width for all pictures. Let me middle-click on them to open the full version in a new tab (instead of those stupid modal overlays) and scroll the gallery with my mouse like every site on the web. Added j/k or arrow key navigation is a plus.

    Edit: Well it's two. http://imgur.com has it right too.

    That's awesome. Seeing some strange layout behavior in Chrome on Win 7, but speaking in general: awesome.
