Exclamation PhotoPost 7 BETA 1 Available!

This is the first BETA, in this BETA I've kept the new options to a minimum in order to properly test the new SEO URLs feature. We have the SEO URLs running on the following sites:

A Harley Davidson photo sharing community - Harley Alley
Extreme Fitness bodybuilding photo gallery - ExtremeFitness Photo Galleries
A community photo gallery - ReefTalk Gallery

Disclaimer/Word of Caution: As with any upgrade, particularly a BETA one, please backup your systems before performing the upgrade. Novice users should be extreme caution, as if you encounter problems we will need to ask you questions about your setup to try and resolve any issues (and may ask you to modify code or your setup). If you are unsure about doing these things, you should not install or use this BETA update. Support for the BETA product will expire with each new update and not be supported at all past the BETA cycle.

=======================
VERSION UPDATE: 7.00 BETA 1
=======================

PhotoPost 7.0 is a major update with new new features our users have requested.

New features:

. SEO URLs (requires .htaccess file)
. Single URLs for images
. 301 redirects to SEO pages for spider and normal URLs
. SEO URLs enabled in Admin -> Edit Settings -> Global Options (choices are none, spider, seo)
. Multimedia thumbnails (requires ffmpeg, not included)
. Includes thumbnail rebuilds (path the ffmpeg set in Admin -> Edit Settings -> Global Options)
. Updated Gallery and Photo pages

New file

.htaccess (only required if you are planning on using SEO URLs)

Upgraded files
