Suggestion to the official website: please return the "old" photo gallery

After the relaunch of the official website I saw the photo gallery for the first time.

My impression is that the current photo gallery is inferior to the past ones in terms of convenience.

First, accessibility to the photo gallery.

In the past, the website was immediately accessible from the top page.
The current website requires an extra step to select My Forza and from there go to the photo gallery.

Second, the convenience of the photo gallery itself.

1: In past photo galleries, we could select a thumbnail, right-click and select “Open in New Tab” and we would immediately see the full size image.
In the current photo gallery, this feature is not available, and the image that opens with “Open image in new tab” is a smaller thumbnail.

2: Open the thumbnail to view the image.
However, there are no buttons or shortcut keys in that menu to move to the next image, as you would find on a typical website or image viewer.
Therefore, if we want to view or download multiple photos, we will need to repeat the same process for the number of photos we want to view.

Finally, and personally this is the most critical issue.

The current photo gallery does not assign a random title to a photo.
In the past, the photo gallery assigned random titles like “2a33b7b1-ba45-4181-ae73-a08e91ae0224.jpg” to the photo taken.
This made it possible to download photos without worrying about duplicate file names.

The current photo gallery seems to have lost that feature and gives every image a title of “2”.
If the destination folder does not change, or if you do not use drag and drop, this is not a problem, but it is not so uncommon to download images or files to different folders. Making renaming each time when saving very cumbersome.

Dear website administrator, could you please restore the old photo gallery, or if that is not possible, could you at least give the photos random file names that are not “2”?
