I may try out gallery and work on intergrating that instead.

edit: let me clarify this by saying that I am looking for a nice easy way to pull up a users gallery which I don't think coppermine is capable of as it currently stands. :ermm:

As for showing a gallery button in the postbit, I was thinking of having a secondary usergroup for gallery users and using a bit of php in the template to show the link for anyone in that usergroup. The users album can be made to correspond with their member ID's so the link in the post bit should be a fairly simple thing that way.

Of course you can pull up a users gallery easily. For instance, on my forum you can access a gallery via http://www.mysite.com/gallery/users?username

It doesn't get much easier than that.

Also, the vBulletin -> Coppermine bridge already synchronizes albums with userid. All the groundwork is layed, you just need to grab it from the SQL DB.
