Two features I'm looking for with vbGallery ...

[Matsi]

Can someone verify these features exist?

-automatic image resizing?
-multiple pic uploads?

Is there a feature list for vbGallery somewhere that I've missed?

Thanks!

Thank you so much for the detailed list!

One other question .... if a user uploaded, say, five images at once, will those images stay in one grouping? I guess what I'm trying to determine is how these images get loaded. Right now, we are using PhotoPlog Lite and it uploads each image into a new "thread" in the Photo Gallery (separate from the actual forum). We like that feature (but do not like PhotoPlog, hence the reason I'm here ) in that each picture (or group of pictures) is a new entry/thread. I hope I explained my question well.

What I'd REALLY love it to be able to do is start a new thread in an actual forum on our board each time a group of pics is uploaded so that members can have a discussion about them, but I'm still waiting to hear back from anyone in another thread on this forum.

"Auto Start a New Thread"
- its not standard.

Good idea

There are options for the Admin on each category to allow members to make sub-cats under. Perhaps a hack/thread starter can be added "when user makes custom category create thread" I'll have to take a look @ the idea.

So, just to clarify, it posts the photos in a photo album type of display? What if there are multiple uploads, does it show a thumbnail of one of the pics or thumbnails for all of them?

Does PhotoPost Pro allow "threads" of photos?

1)
There are 2 views at the moment for uploaded images.

Act as Members' Category
http://www.gzhq.net/gallery/browseimages.php?c=23

When set to 'Yes', any uploads to this category will automatically be placed in a sub-category named after the user who uploaded the file.

or

http://www.gzhq.net/gallery/browseimages.php?c=9
(the category images are there by choice)

- You can upload 5-10 @ a time or import from local folder on the server and do 100's @ a time. (image attached)

2)
I do not think photopost pro will post a thread, but I would need to ask Chuck .
