I don't like this upgrade. Apart from the URL making a little more sense everything else is worse:

1) There no longer appears to be a link to 'My Photos', so now we have to go through a bookmark.

2) Adding albums couldn't be less intuitive or any harder to find.

3) It only lets you add albums into existing albums, not at root level in your gallery. Thus all my albums must go into my January 7th Album which is silly.

4) There is no facility to move pictures between albums which would have been very welcome.

5) It is no longer possible to see how many views you gallery has had, just the individual photos. As someone with a commercial interest, seeing how many hits our gallery got was as useful as seeing how many clicks our banner got.

6) I used to benefit from an 'unlimited' quota. After the upgrade my quota was reduced to 25Mb, which was just slightly bigger than the total I had already used... I have now already reached my quote after uploading the last gig. Please note that when uploading band and gig photos I use a much pixel density (increasing file size) than I do for fluff, that's so that the bands can take copies of these photos and make use of them. So I reckon an larger quota would be justified in this instance.

7) Less photos and galleriers are visible on the home screens. And less random photos show up, which is a shame because the random photos often take people to interesting places.

Any chance of addressing some of these issues?

Oh wait... on the plus side the upload now works a lot better, but personally I rather have shit upload and everything else back the way it was
