Actually 'unpaid volunteer' is more appropriate.

I ran into the same issues as you with vBGarage and the articles add-on and I know the frustration that comes when the support dies. vBPicGallery has a lot of features that I needed and I am using it along with PP. It may or may not evolve into a full feature gallery, but Noppid is giving great support for it on his site and it is evolving.

vBPicGallery may not fit everyones needs but it could be an alternative for some who do not want to use PP or vBa

You are correct, for those into a small scale, free alternative it may do just fine. I am in no way demeaning the product, my apologies if it looked that way.

As for the authors I do not support items that have been dumped and I stand by my comments there. A track record is important for authors, I donate to a lot of folks quite a bit but once they show themselves as unreliable I take that into future considerations.

With PP their support in the past was poor, MP was just overloaded until Chuck came along and I think it is improving dramatically. Now with KW and Zachariah it is going to get even better. I volunteered because if we want it to keep improving then some of us need to stop whining and do something about it. Brian's gallery was great because of the community effort and I can either cry about spilled milk or work.

I choose to work.
