Hi Charlie, thanks for the feedback, I am glad you like the mod.
Having had a quick look at the album system it seems that what you need is possible, however I probably won't have time to put a mod together for the next few weeks
This being said, if anybody wants to take this on it seems that it is possible....
Having briefly scanned over the album management code it seems that the "album_album_edit" hook is called when an album is created, however this same hook is also called when an existing album is edited, so the mod would also need to check that the "addalbum" value is present in request parameters. From their more or less exactly the same code as the social group mod could be used to create threads/pms etc.
