It would be nice to be able to quickly flip through pictures of the example cabinets (via Next/Prev buttons) rather than having to click on one at a time. 

Seems like tons of submitted cabinets do not have pictures which you can click on anyway, but rather you have to go to the website to see it .... this takes way to long.   

I would also recommend that when someone submits a cabinet then "two" pictures shall be required (one full cabinet picture and one control panel picture).  Both pictures can be shown when flipping through the examples cabinets.  Underneath these pictures would be a link (or just a GO TO button)  which will redirect the user to the cabinet's website.   

For cabinets which have already been submitted and which do not have pictures submitted to BYOAC, then I would recommend that a couple of photos from the author's site be copied over to use while flipping occurs.

That is going to be a lot of work. I doubt Saint or Sirwoogie would want to tackle this one.

I kind of like the idea. I'll dig into it.

I think a lot of people might find this beneficial.   

... and copying a couple of pictures from existing websites to use for cycling through the cabinets should not be that bad or take that much time to do.   You probably need to go to each website anyways to get rid of the dead links .....

Maybe Chad could do all of the work for you. Kind of like a payment for all of his bandwidth costs.
