PhotoPost Community - View Single Post - All sub-categories are shown on one page

I have a photograhpers and models community. They all have albums, 200 is the total number of albums, it's not for one user.

What I need is to let visitors browse through photographers' and models' albums. Names/nicknames are meaningless - browsing through names gives no information to the visitor (another photographer or model). When browsing they need to see images, not names. Clicking each name to see what's inside is just too much clicking. That's why I need either category pictures for personal categories, or I just turn off the "personal" parameter of the category, so the albums are shown without separation into "names" categories. So there is a category "Photographers" with albums by photographers and "Models" with albums of models.

The problem is that all the albums in those categories are shown on one page.

Albums are technically just another categories, right? And categories where you can either upload pictures or create other categories are actually forums in vB terms. So in vB terms I have 100 sub-forums of a forum named "Photographers". In vB these sub-forums will be shown on several pages. Is it true that in vBGallery the "sub-forums" are not divided into pages ever?
