I would like to see much more control with these:
Awesome suggestions and my responses follow.
1. Allow us to choose which banner is used in which position as well as how many.
--------already functional for choice but adding position feature
2. Provide a large number of layouts so that these galleries are not oversaturated.
---------definitely will do as this seems to be the strongest criticism
3. If you do recips as well, ideally have a device where webmasters can upload a few custom recips and have this saved in the lounge as well. Also make sure just as with the banners/text link placement that there are many different options to choose from regarding where to place the recip.
----------we have this in the version we developed for house accounts and will be adding it shortly, with saved recip "concoctions", and placement options
4. Allow us to save a configuration for next time that can be used for general use.
---------this is already possible but will only become truly significant when the other features are added along with their complexities.
5. Make the number of pictures configurable as well as the ability to select certain pictures over others.
---------Great idea and very much within easy reach.
Hope my wishlist is helpful!
