Hello as noted in posts on our forum vbgallery is not yet compatible with vb4. We are working on this and hope to have a beta out in a couple weeks. There have been alot of obstacles to overcome so I will lay that out.

1. With our other products since we do not use the vb templates or vbadmin it was alot simpler to be compatible with a few switches and we created a new template set which mimics the vb4 look relatively easy although alot of work.

2. vbGallery on the other hand which is basically an addon to vbulletin and uses the templates etc had to be completely rewritten from scratch to work with vb4.

3. Given the variables above beta testers where not even allowed to see the vbulletin 4 code till around first week in November so that did not give us time to rewrite the application for the gold release of vbulletin 4.

All in all vbulletin 4 was rushed to market way too fast and did not allow people like us time to develop compatible releases. This is self evident with the release of vb 4.01 which only comes out a few weeks after the gold and they even publically state it fixes over 200 bugs. Thats astromical that they would release a product with that many issues as GOLD. 4.02 of vbulletin is due out in another week or two and thats going to have another 100 bug fixes from what they say.

Rest assured we are working on vbGallery to be compatible but having to go back in and rework stuff we have already done because they are fixing bugs like crazy is delaying us from being able to release something to you. However with all that said we are working dilegently on this matter.
