Just wanted to give everyone the headsup:

I have been searching for free gallery alternatives to link with the profiles, and I came up with something that works... (for now...)

vBGarage, was made for cars, I have a motorcycle site, so that's what first got me looking there. I use it so members can just so pics of their bikes (I don't need to see a bunch of pics of biker guys!!!! LOL!)

Anyways, what I figured out was this: with vBGarage, it gives everyone its own gallery with the url:
http://www.yoursite.com/forums/vbgar...do=view&id=###

Where it says ##### at the end, is the users user id #. Even if the person has not set up a gallery, it will still bring them to their empty gallery.

Originally, the garage was set so you can fill in details about your bike, you could probably edit all that to make it details about their pictures. I have user profile fields for them to put in bike specs that I just call over to their garage page.

I would love to give you all the steps necessary to make this happen, but I really just stumbled my way through it! The basics are:

Install the garage as per instructions.
Edit the garage templates to display the pics the way you want.
Add a link in the memberinfo template like:

<a href="vbgarage.php?do=view&id=$userinfo[userid]>See more pictures of me!</a>

I would give you my garage templates too, but like I said, I took most of the stuff out of them, so it would be easier to use the originals.

I am not in any way anywhere close to the level of genius that usually resides on this board. I can not offer the same type of incredible support that you are used to, but I do check this thread regularly and will do my best to help anyone who needs it!
Good luck!
