Major Features

Multiple Instances You can run an unlimited number instances of the gallery on the same forum with same set of files! Each instance can have a different look and feel to it, and with enough work can have a completely different function because of the system we built it on.

AJAX integration We used AJAX wherever we could to help reduce the page reloads

Automatic resizing and thumbnail creation As long as your server can handle it, the users can upload whatever size pictures they want. The gallery will control the size displayed and stored, and will even create a thumbnail, all automatically. Users no longer have to worry about resizing their images to fit what your forum specifies. If you do not have a server with the power to resize images (GD image library can get pretty memory intensive) then you can set the gallery to reject images that do not fit into your size criteria.

User Albums Users can create their own image albums to organize and display sets of their images. Albums can also be set to hidden and/or password protected. So users who want to have images for only certain friends or not visible to anyone else at all can easily organize them.

There is a problem with editing/deleting other users images. If you set the usergroup settings to Is Admin it will allow them to, but obviously you don't want to do that for non admin groups
I should have a new release tomorrow night which will fix that problem.

If you have permissions to do it, you wll have a pencil next to the title on the New Style and an edit button in the top right on the vB Style

Kether

Yes, the next version has the option in the settings to soft delete images. If it is soft deleted it will not show up in the browse, search, user profile. The image will still be in linked threads and you can view the image if you directly link to it.

There is a section in the ACP to view the deleted images and either physically delete or reactivate them or obviously leave them alone

But i will follow this mod till it gets better then try again

i am on vbulletin 4.2.0

Can you give me a bit more info on why you can't install it? Does the installer give you an error?
If you are getting an error that the upload directory can't be written to try setting the dbtech/gallery/images/upload/ folder to 777 permissions. If that still doesn't work I'd need to get an admin account and ftp permissions to troubleshoot futher.
