user description

in the past, there were two places to set a user description: from the profile page and the style page. these two were also separate values. this is no longer the case. the site description for your tabulas can only only be set from your profile page now. sorry if this causes problems; go to your profile page to change your site description.

i've run an upgrade script that will move over your user descriptions from the old sites description to the profile description if there was no profile description. otherwise, please move manually, thanks.

also removed a deprecated column from the database - hope this doesn't break some legacy code.

usericons

user icons in the new control panel weren't resizing properly, and "editing" an existing icon didn't work. both of these should be fixed now.

also fixed up some grammar in the gallery (thanks lainie).

gallery: lightbox

you can create a cool lightbox effect for your gallery now. click any image on this page to launch it, or read more about it.

you can turn it on at the new control panel

home page

updated the registration links to not suck to much, and also got rid of the stupid "auto username" checking javascript since it seems to be throwing exceptions.

user profile page

dropped userid from the profile page since it's not used for anything (it's way too techie). also got rid of server name, since we're all using the same one now (yay for statelessness!)

inserting images

in the new control panel, you can insert images from your gallery by clicking the image icon. i fixed up some of the individual image inserting options, and i also added an "insert album" feature which will allow you to insert all the contents of an album into an entry with a few clicks. you can also upload images through this interface and embed them into your image.

lightbox updates

i've updated the lightbox code: the image links will transform once lightbox loads, so this'll prevent the cases where the images don't load, and you click the image, and it takes you directly to the image. now, if the lightbox javascript hasn't loaded, it'll just take you to the old image view page. (try disabling javascript in your browser to see the two ways it's handled).

i've also added small / medium / large / raw links on the album view to the images so you can quickly grab those urls. i've also added the raw image size to the image page itself.
