Hi,

I solved that problem by setting up a separate forum with that specific purpose in mind and provided a link on both sites to traverse back and forth...it works very well and is very quick in switching from one forum to the other.

I don't get it.   How does another forum give you a photo gallery?

You could use a service like flickr to store your photos, then add a widget of all the photos in a flickr group, like this widget:
http://www.slideflickr.com/

One of the items we'll be offering in 2009 is a media gallery of all the photos and videos on your forum.

We set up a second forum for members pics. We started a topic called "Member's Galleries". Each member starts a new topic with their named gallery..such as "Shirley's Gallery", and then posted all their pics in that topic. We set up a general guest book for all galleries, so comments in regards to the galleries could be posted there and not in the individual topics, as a way of keeping all the pics together without a lot of posting between pics.

Works great!

Chief,

How do you embed the widget so the slide show appears w/i a post?

Thanks.

used the 'media editor' (with the embed pictures button) and paste the flash embed code directly into the post.

Was just wondering how the media gallery you mentioned in a earlier post was coming along? I have several members that would like to have a photo gallery that they can post their pics in.

That's something a little further off.  But there are other options for you and your members, you can add a photo slideshow widget to your sidebar as a 'custom html' widget.  There are a few services that provide photo gallery widgets, such as widgetbox.com, slide.com, and flickr.com
