I am wondering if replacing the user icon with the first attachment image on the overview resource site, would be a good idea. This way I could use the resource manager as a gallery addon and switch from IP.Board to xenforo. Or do you think that this is a bad idea for a gallery solution?

Back in the day when vbulletin 3.8 was around, a photo plugin from the core crew was simply missing. So I decided to use a third party photo plugin (http://www.photoplog.com). This went fine for a while, but as my traffic grew, the photo plugin kept on locking my database tables. That's why I...

As along as there is no replacement for IP.Gallery and IPDownloads, you don't have much of a choice. If you want to move more than 30000 images manually, this will get very time consuming. And I am not planing on jumping on any gallery addon, just because it is there. I hate to say it but the...

It would take me ages to check out all blog entries and album pictures at my forum site for the last 6 months. By the way, those two missing addons are the main reason why converting to xenforo is not an option for me and my users at this time.

That's part of the reason why I am still hesitating switching to xenforo. But I think that everything will be okay, at the end. ^^

I am still pretty much undecided about xenforo, but mostly because I am stuck with certain addons. Let's see where xenforo is heading to...

Would you say that socialengine (http://www.socialengine.net/examples/live-demos) is a better choice from a security standpoint?

I was once told that bd banking (http://xenforo.com/community/threads/bd-banking.5853/) supports donations. I am not sure if it is true or not because I am not a xenforo user, yet (still waiting for a top notch gallery addon).

I have also been thinking about using phpfox for one of my projects but the demo site feels sluggish and slow to me and site speed is very important to me.

At the moment we pay €1.66 per liter, which is around €6.28 per gallon. And €6.28 is a little over $8. Those are pretty high prices for driving a Volkswagen.

It takes me about €100 which is about $130 to fill up my car... and gas prices still rise.

You are probably right.

Exchanging value from one person to another can have a lot of purposes, e.g. I give you a trophy if you give me something else (could be digital goods or anything) in return. Or by donating one of my trophies I could just want to show you my respect.

What would you think about if users could donate some of their tophies to other users?

Is it also possible to import albums from IP.Gallery (http://community.invisionpower.com/gallery/)?
