why dont you guys go to the authors website(its listed up there somewhere) and ask him to help us?

Here's the author's last post on the site. I think he's uninterested in this thread.

I would also love to see an option built into the mod that allows admins to set a fixed thumbnail size for just the gallery images. I have a photography forum so I have the global thumbnail image size set at around 400 pixels. This is a little too big (actually, it's awkward) for the pictures in the gallery albums. An option to change the thumbnail size just in the gallery would be very helpful!

Well there's a link to his forum - http://www.hoverclub.org.uk/
why dont you go over there and ask him to maybe update his mod and make it better :P ?

Is there an add-on for this that will create a new thread in a specific forum when a new album is created or an existing album has been updated?

If not, is this possible and would anyone like to take on the challenge?

Just get the author back to help us out!

I've left a message at the website defined in the coder's profile. Maybe we'll get a response.

It's a bit unfair to expect the author of a mod to start coding all types of variations. The guy coded something that did what he wanted it to, then was gracious enough to release it for others to use. That doesn't mean he's any kind of expert on the topic or a slave to all types of odd requests.

If you want to hire someone to code your ideas, put up some serious money over in the appropriate forum.

Yeah, but it does not hurt to ask either, does it? Some coders only want to share what they wrote for their needs and let that be the end of it. Others enjoy the challenge of new requests.

I have actualy gotten in touch with the coder and he no longer has access to vB to be able to develop or support, but may do something if he can get access which I am discussing with him. Additionally, he may give permission for other coders to pick up his mod and continue development.

The only thing not asking does is hinder further development.

OK guys - I no longer have access to a vB license therefore there will be no enhancements made to this mod (unless someone else wants to take it over). I'm happy to check out any bugs (although none have been reported in over a year) but I won't be adding any additional features. As I said at the start, this is a picture viewer - it was never intended to be more than that.

BTW: some of the "feature requests" are already available in the basic vB install - take time to understand how vB works and you'll figure it out :) - I don't have the time to hold peoples hands I'm afraid :p
