A few questions...
 

1. When members post a photo and select to upload into their member gallery, can you make it mandatory that they also select a category as opposed to having that as optional?

2. How do you rearrange the order of the galleries? Not the categories but the recent photos, most popular photos, etc. I would like the most recent to be displayed on top and haven't found that option.

3. After the gallery is completely set up (which it almost is for me), can you direct me where to go to show the gallery link on the forum and a forum link in the gallery?

Scratch #2...I've only searched for that for 2 hours but now that I've posted the question, I found it.

No you can not. You can allow them to select to show the photo in optional categories but it is not mandatory.

What do you mean here how to format an a link to each product. Here is a tutorial on what an html link is

Scratch #3 as well...got that figured out on the vbulletin side.

Now back to #1. When users are uploading to their member gallery and selecting another category as well, that photo shows up once under the most recent photos but when you click on it you see it multiple times based on how many categories they selected.

Here's a link to the gallery if you need to see what I mean.

As I stated the selection of optional categories is not mandatory

I understand that. So if they DO select an optional category, the photos will show up twice?

Yes because each of those additional uploads to a category is another photo

Is there a way to turn off the member gallery option and only allow them to choose from the other categories?

Showing multiples of the same photo when viewing the galleries just isn't going to work for me.

You can turn off additional categories in upload options in admin and you can turn off in edit categories in admin edit the members gallery and remove upload permission and viewing permissions

Thank you. I believe I have it set the way it needs to be now.
