a photo of mine ('untitled' photo of two red barns) is now attributed to "Ben". it looks like the title and description are gone too.

kinda pissed off about this. I understand that the site is in alpha phase and will have bugs, but this is a pretty serious one in my humble opinion.
please advise how contributors to this site can be assured of proper consideration for intellectual property, thanks.

seems to be quite a common bug in the Gallery--another one of mine is credited to 'webmaster', and I've also seen duplicated images under the name of different photographers.

yet, when I view my own gallery, the data for my photos is ok.

Hey,

Yeah, it's a mess. You should be happy to know that this gallery solution is just temporary.

The reason you've been seeing duplicates is because
'webmaster' has created an album and picked out a few shots to be fronted on the first page. It's just a quick fix.

Douglass,
Nothing to worry about. As we explained, we decided to replace our gallery system to a more sophisticated gallery which will support all plans we have in mind to manage the image content the way we would like it too. The site did regress as a result of this decision The photos being under Ben's name must have been a bug but the web master is me and I chose some member's photos to be shown on the front page and there were several of yours. As Danial said, just a quick fix while we are preparing the new gallery. This obviously did not work out and I will delete all photos belonging to our friends.
Thanks.
