and that was it, tyvm
I knew it would be something stupidly obvious that I overlooked. Been a while since I screwed around "inside" my boards. Just upgraded to 3.8.4 last night and i'm updating add-ons now. Don't remember if it was a template edit to have the gallery on forumhome before and figured it would be quicker to ask in here how to see it again
thanks again for the quick response Chuck
