Some questions...

1. Is there a importer for Photopost vBGallery? (edit: yes!)

2. Will there be a vB5 version? (and upgrade from vB4)

We will want to upgrade to vB5 eventually, happy to buy the pro version!

Thanks, Kym

Yes, they are already working on it.

Straight from DBTech:

"Now that #vB5 Connect is officially on sale we have finalized our pricing structure regarding our modifications on vB5 as they are ported:

Upgrade: You may upgrade your existing vB3/4 license to a vB5 license for 25% of the cost of a new license. For most mods this will be in the $10-20 range. You will no longer be able to run the product on a vB3/4 site. This is necessary to cover the cost of porting the modification (many mods will require extensive rewriting) as well as the extra support load.

Discount License: You may purchase a new vB5 license of any mod you currently own a vB3/4 version of for 50% off. This allows you to use the mod on a vB3/4 site AND a vB5 site at the same time should you so wish.

New Licenses: New licenses purchased will be either vB3/4 or vB5 only. There are no plans to change the pricing at the moment, the vB5 versions will cost the same as the existing vB3/4 versions."

Ok! so I buy vB4 now, and pay 25% extra later when vB5 is ready !! All good!

Will the pictures uploaded to this be included in the Activity Stream?

Also, ever thought of having a gallery to view attachments in posts (perhaps organized by forum section)?

I removed Gallery and reinstalled it. Here is what I noticed has happened. The child folder 1/1 isn't created until I actually try to upload a image. The upload fails until I change the permissions on 1/1/ 1/1/full 1/1/thumbnails 1/1/wm all to 0777. At this point the uploads succeed.

Then I log out and sign in as a different user. I try to upload a image and it fails once again due to permissions. I check the folder structure and see 1/1/5 1/1/5/full 1/1/5/thumbnails and 1/1/5/wm have now been created. I changed the permissions on all to 0777 and now that user can upload.

I am using vb 4.2.0 patch 2 with your gallery 1.2.4 Why must I change permissions each time a new user uploads to Gallery? By default Gallery is setting the permissions of newly created folders to 0043. I am guessing importing vb albums failed because of this also. Is there a way to set permissions so the correct permission will be given by default? Thanks again.

You might want to check with your server company, my folders default to 0755 and pics 0644

I don't think its a server issue since this is the only mod that I have a problem with regarding permissions. I see there is a new post a couple back with the same problem. Once you set the correct permissions the mod works great for that user.

Well don't know what to tell ya mate, I'm running 4.2.0 PL2 and 1.2.4 and I haven't had those kind of issues.

Also noticed if you try to upload a image larger than allowed you get a non skin error warning then a broken image icon is placed in your album and you must go back and manually delete it.

They aren't included in the activity stream. I'll have to look into that on the next feature release.

There is already a good mod on here that works with the existing gallery, it might work with images added to the forum posts.
