I'm an ex Flickr user looking for a better place to hang up my photos. I like the layout of Smugmug and what they say they offer, but I have a few questions;

- By using the "collect" photos feature to a favorites gallery, is this basically the same as "adding favorite" photos on flicker?

- Is there an add contacts feature where I can keep up on any new posts they add?

- If I have a private gallery (with access permissions given to them), can I allow them to save/print even if all my other photos are right click protected?

- Is there a way I can browse photos that are NOT daily or all time favorites - Without using keywords etc...like a way to see all current, or most recent uploads?

I know its a lot of questions, but I'd like to know everything before plunking down my 60 bucks!!
Thanks in advance

    oh, and one more thing...if someone thumbs up/down my photos, is there a way I know about it? It would be nice to know if I'm doing something right or wrong

    Hm, I really don't know, but 'collect' simply shows a photo in a 2nd gallery. So you could have 100 galleries, and you might 'collect' one or two from each for your "all time best" gallery. [/quote]

    You can add friends, yes. http://www.smugmug.com/help/friends-and-family and also join communities: http://www.smugmug.com/help/communities

    - If I have a private gallery (with access permissions given to them), can I allow them to save/print even if all my other photos are right click protected?
    Yes, you can set this type of permission on a gallery by gallery level.
    - Is there a way I can browse photos that are NOT daily or all time favorites
    Sure, you can search, or you can browse by category or keyword, too.
