&userid= appended?

^Why has that category got &userid= appended when the others don't?

It's abit of a nitpick but I like shorter urls myself.

Because the userid variable is used when viewing members' categories.

That's the thing though.. it's not a member category.

Act as Members' Category in 'Edit Categories' is set to No for that particular one.

Ok I figured what is causing this.. basically if you have a category that does not have a parent set then it will add the &userid= to the url regardless of it if it's a member category or not.

If you view a parent category then all forums under it will have a &userid= appended.

Proof:

http://www.vbadvanced.com/gallery/

the Animals directory url is:
http://www.vbadvanced.com/gallery/browseimages.php?c=5

and here:
http://www.vbadvanced.com/gallery/index.php?c=1

the Animals directory url is:
http://www.vbadvanced.com/gallery/br...hp?c=5&userid=

Any way of fixing this in the meantime rather then waiting for an upgrade?

There's nothing to fix. That's intended behavior.

How so though? What's the need of it exactly?

I find it weird that it's a different url depending on if the user is in root or another parent category. It shouldn't make a difference.
