Guests can Only view thumbs?

Possible to allow guests to only view thumbnails throughtout the gallery system?

So if they go to click on the thumb a message comes up that they need to register to view full image.

I dont want to force people to join just to see thumbs. might even help with bandwidth too

I want this too. I had to limit my gallery to reg users only because it was eating too many GB's out of my quota.

exactly. i also have the Features on my index page, and i noticed if i set the "who can view" permissions off for unregistered, the features thumbnails disappears and i havent looked at the gallery itself but i'm assuming NO images (thumbs/full size) show at all if this is unchecked.

Garry I have removed your code edit as there is no need to edit anything here.

If you want guests to see thumbnails but not the bigger images just use this switch and make sure of course they have permission to view all the cats.

Admin => Registration Options

Require users to be registered to view images?
