Broken,
Didn't forget about you, just offline for a bit. OK, the fix is easy enough but I'm going to ramble on for a minute about what the fix will do.
When your server has safe mode turned off then scripts like vBGallery are able to make new folders on the fly. In that scenario then when a user uploads a new image to your gallery the files are saved in a folder with a "/gallery/files/{userid}/{file}" naming convention. The advantage to that method is that if you gallery has tens of thousands of files in it then the odds that you will run up against an OS limitation on the number of files you have in one folder are lessened because the files are spread out over multiple folders. When you turn the vBGallery safe mode on then your files will be saved with a "/gallery/files/{userid}-{file}" naming convention instead. That means all of your upload files will be in one folder. Most sites will be OK with that but if you start having several thousand images all in the same folder then your OS may have a limitation with it.
With that said... to turn on vBGallery's save mode, choose ACP => vBa Gallery => Maintenance => Change File Storage Method.
