yeah i know volocd i mentioned it in irc yesterday but the thing is, i have no ideas when yours will be ready or what it'll be like

Definitely go with PhotoPost! The community spirit of your forums really benefits from a proper photo gallery. PhotoPost is simple to use and their developers respond to issues. It does not require much hands on attention from administrators; just appoint a couple gallery moderators.

Velocd's hack is not bad if you have small forums where people are happy with a single picture. But each poster usually adds 5+ images to their portfolio. Only a few people upload just one picture. We have been running PhotoPost for 7-8 weeks and wish we had done it much sooner.

your forums does make me wanna get it i admit but then again for the reasons that any gallery could perform i suppose.

i suppose 2 add-ons i'd like of which one exists if to be able to access the gallery on forums home (with thumbnails at the bottom of forum home) and the ability to view a specific catergory in thread view.

If I was to need another gallery I would buy another photopost. I have yet to have a trouble with it.

I would also recommend albinator...

www.albinator.com

it also does what you requested :)

That is actually... not the hack I'm referring to. ;)
That is a simple photo-gallery script, this new script is something more along the lines of.. a personal DeviantART (integrated with vBulletin).

I was in the IRC chat yesterday..? VB.org? :ninja:
[high]* Velocd notes he hasn't been in the VB.org irc channel in months[/high]

i didn't mention it to you, i mentioned it to chen, floris, kura, etc

PhotoPost has vB3 integration and very fast support in there members forums

fromw hat i can see over at http://vbforums.mgzhome.com/ albinator integrates alot better than photopost but it's uglier in terms of layout. also once you get past the front page the integration goes to put, the headers are missing as are the colours etc

I ditched photopost for OakGallery - I needed something where people could actually get a URL for their pictures just in case they wanted to link to them.
