1) will your software seamlessly integrate into IPB 2.1.5 so there is no need for 2nd login?

Yes our software integrates with Invisionboard 2

2) May different levels be set to match levels/groups (like that IPB uses already in the forums,

Yes we integrate with the Invisionboard usergroups and you can set different usergroup permissions for each

3) May a user seperately password protect a subfolder within his/her area of your gallery? (like smugmug utilizes)

A user may make private albums that are only viewable to people he gives the password to yes.

4) Is there a way to tranfers all the present photos from Gallery 1.5.1 into your software?

No.

5) can one limit uploads by members to be only jpg, avi, wmv formats?

Yes you can define what types of files are uploadable in the upload options

6) if someone uploads a video, will a thumbnail be generated?

There is no ability to grab a thumbnail from a video since that depends on a technology that is not present on most servers. This for the most part is achieved with proprietary software. You can upload an optional thumbnail on upload of a video to represent it otherwise the default generic multimedia thumbs will be used.

7) is there a visible link that members may use to link a specific photo elsewhere? (i.e. like those used by photobucket) Can this be turned on and off?

Yes you can choose either direct link ubbcode or html links and they can be turned off or on.


8) is there a means to find orphaned photos and rebuild /optimize the database (a key note, as it seems most gallery software tends to slow down after a few thousand photos are entered into it...)

What do you mean by orphaned photos? If you delete a user in a standalone photopost the photos are deleted of that user. If you delete a user in a forum you can run a resync username and the photos will still be there but owned by anonymous. You can also bulk delete photos in different cats etc.

9) May your software be hosted on a different site and yet still linked back into the forum area?

If the forum host allows external mysql connections you can link to the forum site. However your going to have to login to the forum and the gallery since cookies only work under one domain name and if they are on different servers the domain names will be different.
