1.
"alt text" on the thumbs on the main forum page show the path (instead of url)
"/home/sandeep/public_html/gallery/data/509/2Aracnik.jpg"
http://forums.tech-arena.com - check the alt text in IE

Okay thats how Michael has the alt filled in. It poses no problems.

2. All users browsing the gallery do not appear on whos online list of gallery

They should. Your whos online looked fine to me

3. Gallery takes lot of time to load i am not sure how to trace the PHP + Mysql load, i am able to do this on forums using third party hack/code from vb.org

You can track php/mysql load through SSH and use ps aux to see active processes running etc

4. Check my gallery cateogories, those dont look like categories
with the dark blue background color on category name.
http://www.viperalley.com/gallery/index.php appears perfect to me

Your gallery looks fine using the same css as your forum so I am not sure what you mean by this. Viperalley is a completely different site which runs UbbThreads and a completely different style

5. I want to hide the IP Address viewing to every group, only administrator group should be able to view it.
I would prefer to hardcode this, so IPs are strictly disabled.

Ip's are only shown to those who have adminedit capability

6. What exactly is personal albums ?

They are personal albums that user's create. They are outside the category structure although users may assign personal albums to cats if you let them. Say you could have a personal album of family pictures that may not fit your site or categories but would allow you to have a place to upload family pics.

7. Uploading Photos as Administrator i have foll. issues.
a.
URL of page to parse images from.
What is this options for ? I tried to attach an image from viperally http://www.viperalley.com/gallery/da...18Viper_21.jpg

You use this option to enter an html page to parse image tags from <src> tags

You would not enter direct image links

b.
Skip upload and process the files in your upload directory
What is this option used for ?

You would need to upload images via ftp to your directory and select this to bypass the http upload process and you would get thumbs to enter titles and descriptions based off the files in your uploads directory

c.
Click here to bypass approval process and upload all files in directory
Why is an admin looking @ this message or why is it necessary to display this message to users, who already are enabled/disabled for moderation of images

You would need to upload images via ftp to your directory and select this to bypass the http upload process and process all files and not give you any options to enter anything. This is silent processing

d.
Show thumbnails during processing?
Even if set to no, users are able to see thumbnails of images.

You would need to elaborate and we could investigate this more.
Is it being passed in your url? sample url?

e. Processing more then 25 files, i get a script time-out error always, a majority of users on my site/forums are on 56 KB dialup connectivity

This would depend on your php settings. Only you would be allowed to process that many files unless you specifically allow 25 upload prompts which I do not recommend in your scenerio.
