I agree. A mod told me that there's some sort of code corruption that's preventing it from updating properly, and they haven't got around to fixing it yet.
To expand upon this, we had a system in place that would have automatically updated the gallery every week with the winner, and it worked for a few weeks. It broke, however, and we didn't notice for some time.
Since then, we've not had a chance to try and fix the system that was in place - a combination of everyone who could being busy with other things (both Hearthpwn-related and IRL), and the site itself going through a bunch of changes that break different things each time.
In theory we could probably update it manually, but because of how it was set up it's a lot trickier to do so than the previous gallery was, and could end up breaking in different ways. It's also just very low priority, compared to keeping the competitions running (on the part of the FC mods) and the rest of the site running (on the part of anyone else who might know what to do). I'm not even sure I know how I'd add Season 8 (or 9) at all, never mind getting the rest of Season 7 up.
It's something that needs to be sat down and looked at for a good few hours at least, and we're really just too busy (mostly IRL) to devote time to it right now. Right now the majority of the time FC mods have to spend on the site is spent maintaining the WCDC and CCC.
I won't promise anything - because lord knows I've done that before and never been able to follow through - but I don't think an official update will come before the end of Season 9. When that break comes, maybe.
yes it's true I think there are a lot of ideas and a lot of things we can do to improve the WCDC
