I need help with Vbulletin and Gallery2 integration.

[Dimitrio]

Can't someone tell me why I can't make http://www.veguild.org/forums/gallery2.php, to look organized and display the images of Gallery2 by menalto like http://racersden.net/forum/gallery.php?

This is the code of my my gallery2.php

<?php

Instead of this create a custom page and display a random block of G2, with suitable format, once clicked it will take them to your gallery page where you can design similar look like forum.
This is the most simple and easy method instead of trying to scratch your head with importing this that and then when time comes for critical upgrade of any of the product then double work.
Just a suggestion
