Some website updates

While at work (the job that pays my salary, that is) I'm unable to edit photographs, upload them to the website, etc. However, if things are slow, I am able to do some minor changes to the code that runs the Forever Young. Today, I managed to add a couple changes (but don't tell my boss.)
First, if a photo appears in multiple albums, this information will now be shown when viewing the photograph. Just something that says "This photo also appears in" that is followed by one or more album links. (If the photo isn't in multiple albums, then nothing shows at all.) This might be useful for someone browsing an album like "Mommy's Picks" or "Newest Photos" that contain photo's which are often in other places.
The second change was to automatically find "orphan" photos and stick them into the "unsorted photos" album. It's possible that, while moving photos around, Denise or I accidentally take a photo out of all the albums (without deleting the photo.) If this happens, the photo will become an orphan with no album to live in (and therefore unable to be accessed.) If this happens, then it'll be automatically added to the 'unsorted photos' album within 24 hours...
Finally, I fixed a bug that was causing photo properties to not show up. I doubt many people click on the "show photo properties" link at the bottom of all the photos, but if you did, you might have noticed that, in many cases, it wasn't working. It is now.
