Some of the photo titles come out wonky due to character encoding issues.

If I click Vote, but am not logged in, why not redirect me to a login page?

The photo sizes are really small. Why not make them bigger? After all, the whole point of the site is to see and vote on them.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

FWIW, if you're searching for a better interface, django-filebrowser uses Uploadify which works quite well.

Thanks for letting me know and I think by Uploadify you meant the Jquery plugin, right?

Yup, that's the one.

One question about your implementation. Last time I checked Django their file upload mechanism wasn't pretty, I'm not sure if you're dealing with file uploads, but did it cause any pains? Please enlighten me.

It's alright. You can also set up your own file upload handling or even setup a middleware that will push the file in chunks, and allow you to have things like an upload progress meter.
