 Portal: Data gallery and Forums closed on the portal

PortalYesterday we switched the Data Gallery (albums of data previews) and Forums sections on the Baltic GIS Portal. The decision was made due to the following reasons: (1) maintenance of the Gallery requires too much time and effort (in fact, a double work - the same meta-data info has to be loaded both into Downloads and Gallery sections, also there must be a cross-linking between both of them) and (2) Forums were used very little by our users, while loading this component with every access to the portal makes it work much slower, also imposes certain security and spamming threats. However, we will certainly continue maintenance of the data preview functionality on the Portal, and it is already fixed all over the Downloads section. We supplied an additional DATA PREVIEW link for each of the dataset in the Downloads section, where users can get fast 600x600 pixels preview pictures of the real data. Also, if there will be a special interest of our users, we will certainly activate Forums on our portal again in future.
