a few questions
I see you mentioned it only grabs thumbnails, can that be changed?
Also can we place the images before the forum root, like how we can optimize the attachments by pulling them out of the DB and placing them on the file server?

thx

Theorically it can be changed in order to download the source images and the thumbnails. However, each system has different ways and changes them from time to time, in order to avoid direct downloading. Since this is freeware and I have no income with it, nor are there enough customers for asking this feature, it is unlikely it will be ever implemented.

Similarily, the file server/gallery issue has been discussed before. If there was a consistent number of users requesting to move files to another server, I may look into moving files via FTP and/or PHP's fopen and updating queries and so stuff. But until now you are only about the third person asking for this feature. Instead, you may use fsftp for Linux, which transparently links another server to a symbolic link of your forum root subfolder of your choice. There may be other solutions too. I do not support any of those solutions
