  <body>Today we're performing an automatic upgrade for those of you who haven't updated your galleries lately. We're going through and adding your old images to our latest database; you don't have to do anything on your end, except be a little bit patient while the upgrade takes effect.

*What's new?*
* Everyone now gets 50 images, free of charge. (We continue to gradually increase this quota, and we'll continue increasing it as our budget allows.)
* You can now organize your images into multiple galleries -- you can use this to sort them into various slideshows and stories. 
* You can add an audio soundtrack to any gallery, in MP3 format. You can also set custom timing on your images. (The default is 2 seconds per image.)
* The Flash slideshow's updated: you can navigate among galleries, and fullscreen mode is built-in.

If you've been updating your Lightstalkers galleries lately, this isn't news -- today's update only affects those who haven't made any changes in the last several months.

As always, this is all possible due to financial support &quot;from our members&quot;:http://www.lightstalkers.org/about/donations and &quot;our sponsors&quot;:http://www.lightstalkers.org/sponsorships. We're continuing to add features and storage capacity, and you can help by &quot;making a donation&quot;:http://www.lightstalkers.org/about/donations today. 

Thanks everyone,</body>
