I alse wanted something simple but as I didn't found anything I coded my own one:

• Supports Categories
• Supports Social Media sharing (Mouse-over the thumb).

Never used any build in feature. It's simple code. Nothing special. I've coded a custom gallery with ratings, threads per album etc etc, but was so complicated that I avoided using it even for my site, that's why I coded a new one.

In that site I've coded some simple but very well working mods. Soon I'll release them for free.

Same here, looking for something to replace a lot of photopost galleries. They raised the members access to $129 a year now so unless you pay it you cannot view the support forums if your members access has expired.

Photoplog can be a bit of a bugger to set up and am leery of it since had the pro version earlier when they first came out and then disappeared for awhile.

Dragonbytes gallery is good but still lacks a lot of features - hopefully more will be added down the road.

Yeah $129 so I can use the vbgallery support forums. So I'm to pay $129 so I can use support forums for a product no longer supported well, I don't have spare funds for something like that. I'm thinking my next move will be Xenforo + a gallery built for that system then just import.

Then you'll be happy to hear xenForo now has an official gallery addon, if you don't already know

As most users have different mean of "simple gallery" I'll appreciate if you can post here what are the "must have" for a "simple gallery"

eg For me a simple gallery does not even needs a seperate page for the photo. A photo list with a lightbox popup to show the full image is enought. From the other side I count as "must have" social sharing and a search form.

It got me 10 days more, but now is not just Photo Gallery but Media Gallery as it also supports YouTUBE videos and audio files. And it has a soooo nice interface
