gallery duplicates

When I first started using your gallery service, we could give our pictures a name, now we can't

For my stuff that has resulted in lots of duplicates apearing because at thmbnail size so many of them look the same - especially the fishing lures, ceramics, and incense

We really need to have a user defined name visible for each picture before clicking on the "use this picture in my auction" link.

Also for those of us heading into the hundreds of different items, could we have a "show picture names only" text page option for speed of refresh?

On a similar touchy subject - not everyone is an Adopey Photoshop power user and therefore don't understand resizing and compressions (luckily I do so my pics load quickly even on a 56k modem) - but many people (like me) prefer to insert copyright notes into their pics - often attributing it to their web address.

I know this has implications on T's & C's but I spend a lot of time and money creating unique pictures for my website and use them in my auctions. I also recognise the touchiness about web URL's in listings so here's a simple suggestion .....

Have the server monitor a user's listings quantity - if they have over xxx listings with chargeable options selected, a button appears on their listings giving their web address. When their listings fall back below the minimum, the button disappears again - visibility checking could be done when a user selects to view a listing from the browse category window.

HOWEVER - to qualify, the user must have a link to eBid in their web site - again the checking can be automated with a spider or similar as a weekly task to the web addresses registered by users.

In that way it's a sort of affiliate program but without money changing hands.

What da ya think?
