Should be an opton in the next update:

Edit plugin: Forumhome: Gallery Cache Templates

From:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'index'){
	$globaltemplates  = array_merge($globaltemplates, array('adv_gallery_imagebit','forumhome_vbgallery','forumhome_vbgallery_newestbits','forumhome_vbgallery_nav',));
}

To:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'index'){
	$globaltemplates  = array_merge($globaltemplates, array('adv_gallery_imagebit','forumhome_vbgallery','forumhome_vbgallery_newestbits','forumhome_vbgallery_nav','forumhome_vbgallery_who',));
}

Edit plugin: Forumhome: Gallery Main

Change:

$search_text = '$navbar';
$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME'] = str_replace($search_text,
$search_text.fetch_template('forumhome_vbgallery'),$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME']);

To:

$search_text = '<!-- end logged-in users -->';
$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME'] = str_replace($search_text,
$search_text.fetch_template('forumhome_vbgallery_who'),$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME']);

Make template: forumhome_vbgallery_who

For now Try:

Hook Location : forumhome_complete
- Edit: Forumhome: Gallery Main

- Remove.

	if ($privatecatids = fetch_private_categories())
	{
		$privatecatids = explode(',', $privatecatids);
	}

	if ($vba_options['gallery_homeexcats'])
        {
            $vba_options['gallery_homeexcats'] = explode(',', $vba_options['gallery_homeexcats']);
            if(empty($privatecatids))
            {
                $privatecatids = $vba_options['gallery_homeexcats'];
            }
            else
            {
                $privatecatids = array_merge($privatecatids, $vba_options['gallery_homeexcats']);
            }
        }

	if (!empty($privatecatids))
	{
		$privcatids = 'images.catid NOT IN(' . implode(',', $privatecatids) . ') AND ';
	}

For some reason guest's still cannot view the gallery.

I have followed all of the instructions on setting permission, I have set them thousands of times, I have even set the guests to have admin permission, but it still won't show up.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? (attached)

Anyone who has this installed -- do you get a huge error on your forum home if you set it to show the top rated images? The only options that appears to work properly for all users is random.
