PhotoPost Community - View Single Post - my Photopost is dying: vb albums getting traction

Photopost Pro is far superior to vbulletin albums. It has many more functions and tbh vb albums is a very poor excuse for an image gallery. It doesn't even have categories.

Yet on my big board with 135.000 active accounts, my Photopost installation is dying. In the last month I received 16 new submissions. Its getting less and less. vb albums however are getting ever more traction: 500 new submissions in the last month. At the rate its going now, it is starting to make sense to just disable Photopost.

I think the main issue is the lack of integration. I know there are a few addons for vb4 that Chuck made. I am using vb3.8 and will never use vb4, as vb4 is as good as dead now that vb5 is announced.

What is missing:
- notifications in vbulletin.
- new images blocks for vbadvanced.

Notifications can be resolved with the addon vbSocial notifications, if they get temporary access to a photopost installation and database to work in.
There is no vbadvanced module for photopost that I know of.

I'm not sure if many other sites have the same problem.
