Poor man's gallery wanted:

The hack could be simplified by piggy-backing on the attatchment system in Vb3.

Start with a resizing function for the attachments. It is on the list of "suggested features for vb 3.x" but it doesn't seem to be coming any time soon. Make a hack to add this feature now, so when they update the main body of code you no longer need to do your own updates.

There are already global settings for the maximum K of attatchements per user. It would be nice to have this tied in w/ usergroups, but for the po' man, it's a luxery.

The rest could be done with the addition of one query each to the showthread.php and forumdisplay.php files (to find the attachment ids), and the addition of a new display style that calls the attachements.

Advantage of doing it this way (integrating tightly with vB):
Ad hoc topic centered galleries, with original poster given the rights to close gallery.
Polls
Gallery rating (through thread rating)
User permissions allow user some control over their "gallery"
Good integration of "look and feel"
