I really don't know why you appear to have gotten your knickers all up in a knot.
I was just pointing out that the
vB albums are still needed if you want photos in social groups or even for profile backgrounds (on a user basis).
It is what it is, though, having vBgallery photos in your
vB profile was an option before 2.5 I think wasn't it?
As for the whole vBulletin leak stuff, it comes across as a little unprofessional and what I consider a bit inappropriate for these support forums.
Cheers,
Regs.
