Ah, I see it's changed. Last night I figured out that the button was enabled when I was in the downloads section. Now I see it for the front page too. But kind of my point is that it doesn't make any sense for PicLens to launch into the recent screenshots from the front page. The way I see PicLens used is that you go to a page that would give you a bunch of pictures, and PicLens provides an alternate way of looking at them. Having PicLens support on the downloads page kind of makes sense, but having PicLens support on the main page does not make so much sense. What would make the most sense is having a page just for the latest screenshots, and that page would have the PicLens support on it.

Ok, just curious.

Umm, the user pictures are already sitting there on the site in a public display. Switching from the user pictures index to the PicLens wall would make no change in how public the pictures are. Besides, you already have a nice picture index for the user pictures to neatly launch into PicLens.
