Joe,

Thanks for your feedback and insight. Based on your last comment, I'm wondering if I made a mistake.

The add-on I'm about to release to beta is on the large side. It has a folder structure for the add-on to house class files, css files, images, cache files, etc. The primary php file itself resides in the forum root. Is that a no-no?

Thanks!

So you've made the best gallery mode ever? Don't call the table gallery, what if vBulletin adds a stock gallery feature? The user wont be able to upgrade.
What if you want to add a thread count to the user table? Dont call it threadcount or threads.

When we (GeekyDesigns) to stuff, we almost always try to use gd_name that way we shouldn't normally run into conflicts with name spaces.

Thanks, Zachery. I did my best to try to avoid naming conflicts on all levels. I even did a fairly exhaustive search to make sure my main php file name has not been used by another add-on.

Cheers, and thanks for the input.
