eslmix, no you dont have to pay to access the hacks, over 1,000 hacks are free but you ll need to buy VB and become legal licensed member then you can access tons of hacks at here.

Yes vb have the best template system, you can add your own or choose as you state.

But I dont know about people around here, but to me current photo or gallery hack is useless at best, incompitable or difficult to install. But one possible best hack for photo or gallery is on the way author by drkfusion. It has many features, seem advance enougn, and less buggy than other gallery/photo hack (drfusion, I hope it is! =p)

Go to hack database and use search function to look for "photo" or "gallery" word and you will get few results to access. Good luck

Speaking of link that you provide, I didnt look thur yet since I have to go but some of us hackers customize their hacks and didnt release or share with hackers at here so it is possible that webmaster customize that hack you speak of.
