Thanks for the update Chad,
Since you haven't implemented the new features yet how about an addition to the list?
One thing we were looking at is allowing for more than 8 pictures on a listing. This would be our ideal implementation:
1) allow as many pictures as the user wants (you might have to revamp the table in the DB to put the images in its own table).
2) Provide a setting for the # of thumbnails to show on each listing.
3) Those listings with more than the set # of thumbnails would have a "more pictures" link.
4) The "more pictures" link would bring up a complete page of pictures, photo gallery style allowing the user to pursue all the pictures available. Of course there would need to be a "back to listing" link on this page.
I don't mean to design this but our first real estate customer already asked for more than 8 pictures and we were brainstorming on how to make this work well and look good as well.
