When I uploaded image to the Main album category, it solved problem of displaying "next" and "previous" images in the Test category when clicking "Last upload" from the Gallery home page. |

Then not all second level categories are displayed in the hierarchial order as they should. Most of them are displayed as third level categories. |
My problem is I cannot reproduce your problem.. i set even main category to accept images.. and act as category.. and the members cat as toplevel cat. a screenshot of the category chooser as attachment..
I think (if i remember) there was a problem with creating subcategories IN MEMBER CATEGORIES.. that cannot be done from acp, because member categories are created by members and if they are password protected and/or user has no rights to upload.. they will not show up..
SO dont create subcategories for member cats in ACP!!! you can create them in front end left dropdown-menu: mystuff.. -> catadmin
Reminder: Member cats are not real cats, see them as "virtual" categories
Try to set your "Members Categories as TOP-Level category" with no subcats (subcats will be autogenerated with name=username when a user uploads) - But I am not very good at that, because I have personally never used the member cats. I only seen people having problems with them when not having them 1.st level and using member cats more than once..
make sure all cats are set to act as cat AND accept images..
Other problem that can be related.. (allthough its a vbulletin problem)
if u use UTF-8 there is a template problem.. if a template contains a special character, the template is truncated after that character!!! I was unable to fix the bug.. but found a workaround.
It affects gallery in 1 or 2 templates (where there are bullits - i think its &bullit; or something like that..)... anyway... the workaround is before install.
open the installfile
vbgallery_install.php in your favorite editor. and save as with the encoding set to UTF-8.. do the same with the xml file
product-ppvbgallery.xml
Both files should be in your admincp directory..
Saving those 2 files in UTF-8 will allow vbulletin to install ALL templates correctly... - this problem does Not occur if you are not in UTF-8
(I'm NOt saying its the cause of your problems, but it will eliminate other problems)
