And would even take care of issues right then and there if possible. [...]

I agree completely:
· Chris vXS is a nice guy and for a long time showed that he "would be eager to please when it came to customer service".
I can't say if I overextended my 'welcome', or if my inital impression was right

from an ICQ I sent vXS on the 30th of April
I'm actually getting the impression that you burried your head in the sand and are wishing you never started this script, or that you moved on and don't bother about it anymore...
In which case you might as well pass the code on and at least I CAN GET THE THINGS DONE which need doing...

Anyhow, this impression pretty much hit the nail on the head: Chris vXS has enough and two weeks later 'passed the script on'; the
new owner is XxXotic, who, to put it politely, has a totally different idea about 'customer relations'.
· tgpXS still contains lots of ideas and functions which are very well perceived, and it
could be one of the best scripts on the market, but only
- if some missing functions (in my version, all listed under it's current features) are fixed, and
- if
a lot more work is done on developing functions which a good tgp tool should contain,
* like an in-depth gallery checker for all galleries in the database to expose cheaters (something the Germes' Brownie does so well)
* more statistics about listings in the database, average rating for each webmaster, etc. (Brownie has the option to reward webmasters points and higher submitter status)
...it'll be too exhausting to list it all!
I just wonder if further developement will ever happen, with Chris vXS of board, and the new owner confessing of not having any programming skills...
Anyhow: the gallery checker is a clear must, otherwise you might as well buy Autogallery Pro with thumb-feature for a fifth of the price (or there about)...
