I have a feeling that the links in special/albums don't actually work properly...been a while since I tested it but I got told it wasn't supposed to work....
I got mine working with the help of a replacement variable which is not really an ideal fix.

Now actually, it's not that useful a page anyway...an album list needs some images.
On the site I linked to above, I created a tab that leads to a search string, that pulls in everything that might be classed as an "album" with images, which is a more attractive interface.
The code to use to make such a tab is:
Code:
search?searchJSON={%22date%22:{%22from%22:%2230%22},%22type%22:[%22vBForum_Gallery%22],%22sort%22:{%22lastcontent%22:%22desc%22},%22view%22:%22%22,%22exclude_type%22:[%22vBForum_PrivateMessage%22]}
That will give you updated albums from the past 30 days.
