I currently use 3.5 and the gallery addon looks ideal... except I need to know if it can do the following:
* Respect security for my subscriptions (paying people only can view images/posts)
* Can I create custom image attributes (text and multichoice)
* Can the user not specify an image (I need this)
* If no image is specified, can I set a default image? (I know that sounds strange but its what I need

)
Also, does anyone know of a hack that can send thread/image updates to mobile (via sms) as well as by email.
Thanks in advance!
