The whole argument about support is misleading by some people here.

For one, if you look at the majority of the support questions on the PhotoPost site, you will see that most people post with-out searching the forums 1st. So a simple mysql error message is asked about 20 times a week, and Scott & Michael spend all day answering the same questions 20 times.

And this happens with the crew at vb.com also. Everyone needs to RTFM.

And if you don't have a clue what MySql is, or what PHP does, then you should pay to have the dam thing installed by people who do.

VBAGallery vs Photopost -

I own 2 PP Lic, 2 PPClassifieds Lic, and a Review post lic

I just purchased a VBAGallery Lic last night.

All these products have strenghts and weakness.

Photopost is a "Standalone" product. If I took my forums down today, it would still work. And its portability to other forums software is unmatched.
While it intergrates nicely with VB, it still requires a seperate admin section for some of the basics.

VBAGallery requires Vbulletin as a core. But it all blends into 1, and makes some of the admin aspects a little easier.
It has a ways to go for it's maturity.

But, they all do what I need them to do on my sites.

Then again, I'm not trying to win a speedboat race with a sailboat.
