I'm sure it's probably something we did incorrectly during the install. Until we can figure it out we cannot use your beautiful gallery.

Thanks,

This is a problem when images are stored in the webroot, paths can easily be found. The gallery itself pulls images via the vbi.php file, but uses a non-direct call - this was done to prevent the real path from being accessed from a browser. The only way around this is by placing the images in the home directory, but then the current vbi.php will fail to find them due to the dynamic XML read only.

In an update this will be coded differently, and paths will not matter, even if they are left in the database default, which is not recommended for large communities, due to database 'bloating'.

The new version will be totally revamped, and security will be increased, along with dynamic bridge import system.

Sorry about the uninstall... but this was just a quick way to bridge it to work with vBulletin User Albums, not the best way but works. We may update this, before the main release 'bridge import' version.
