I came back with just the intent of saying thanks again for this and to report absolutely no problems with it, but some are asking questions I think as a user, I could help out with.

Yes it requires VB 3.7's album feature. It looks for images in albums either randomly or shows the latest pics uploaded. When the user returns to the index page it refreshes the pics being shown, or whenever the index page is refreshed from the browser. I have mine set for random so when any one goes back to the index page or refreshes from their browser, they get a new set of pics to gander at. And the thumbs are clickable. Click on the image and it takes you to the full sized image in the album.

Follow the instructions for installing this. It's a walk in the park. Even for a non coder type like me.
Once installed, open the vbulletin options menu and select vbulletin options. Scroll down the list to the very last item. Open that. That is where you set the position of the display, whether random or latest pics uploaded to albums, and how many to show at one time in the display. Mine's set to 5. It's balanced. The middle pic is in the center and the other fan out left and right neatly. I think 9's the limit but at my place it looked too busy.
Also you can turn the feature on or off and set user collapsible display box.

Some have said it grabs pics out of private albums. I haven't seen mine do that.

Set it like you want it then sit back and enjoy the responses you get. It's a nice touch to forums that are image oriented like mine. It's an attention getter with out going off the deep end. Now if it was just ported over to work with vbadvanced's CMPS, I'd be really happy. If you want to see it in action: www.animeappeal.com
