Who's idea was that Cool Iris crap? It looks really cheesy. I hope this is not Boonex's answer to streamlining photo album navigation, because all it does is make it worse. What is going to happen, is people are going to land on this page with the cheesy cool iris viewer, and they will have no clue that they have to click on one of the thumbnails above the viewer to go to the real photo page where they can leave comments, rate photo, etc.

I can't believe you guys actually thought this was a see more

Hi Houston,

I mentioned Cool Iris a while back but no one thought it was a good idea. I think Cool Iris is very cool. The integration Boonex did was not exactly what I had in mind but I think it is rather fabulous and nicely done.

What I had stated before was to have an RSS feed of an album's photos that Cool Iris could read and show in a separate window. They have nice developer instructions at http://developer.cooliris.com/

Cheers to you, Boonex, for a job well done! Sorry to pop your see more

I remember your suggestion well, and I would have no problem with it as a browser plugin, but as you say, this is not what you had in mind.

To have 2 separate viewing systems is only going to confuse the site visitors with what was already an album system with less than intuitive navigation... is just plain stupid.

Boonex didn't bust my bubble on this one.... they busted everybody's bubble.

You can embellish this script with all kinds of fancy flash bells and whistles, and make it bug free, but in the end, the damn thing still needs to make sense.
