depends on you
only members can have private pics that no one can access except them/admins

guests can see the list of public images that members set

Seems amazing, great work

Well I think there was only one thing I was looking for, replacing the current profile picture that is integrated with vBulletin by being able to set an image as your default picture?

Thanks for your time!

First off, thanks for your hard work on this mod. When you do implement the comment system (the version after the next one), please include an option to disable the comment system completely. To me one of the greatest things about vB Image Host is that it doesn't have a comment system. I want users to comment on pictures in threads on the forum, not within the gallery pages.

Eh, now that is just being lazy. You can easily copy and paste the link to your gallery pic to be your profile pic. Also, some (many? most?) admins do not allow externally linked profile or avatar pics and would require an upload of the profile pic regardless.

Integrating vB Image Host with all possible profile pic scenarios doesn't seem like a good use of time, given that the end user can update/change his profile pic without much effort, and given that there are things the vB Image Host mod could use that only the developer can add. Meaning to ask the developer to spend X amount of time to recreate functionality that is already available to the user is not as time efficient as the developer working on completely new functionality. IMHO anyway, YMMV.

Yup, I agree, I just thought of this was something that could easily be implemented then do it

I was also thinking of being able to put captions (names or descriptions) to images?
