I took a quick trip to NH and took some photos at an ADVrider gathering, now at a friends house and I am writing up a ride report on dial up. I have come up with a few suggestions to make the photo sharing better or add some options.
Include a thumbnail with the sharing page so we can tell which photo we are linking to if we are using multiple windows/tabs.
Offer a bulk share feature. I envision it to contain the "message forums - inline images" part of the share feature. It could work by showing a slightly larger thumbnail (150 dpi long side?) on the left and image size/links on the right, using 2-3 inches per image. It could either display a set quantity per page or an entire gallery. I think it would make linking to images much easier and faster, the things that smugmug does best, it could do even better.
I suggest this from using the linking features from my galleries with many images and find that I feel I waste a lot of time going back and forth and searching through tabs, opening in new windows, etc. I could see how this would be intimidating to a noob and turn them away from using the service.
