Greetings, I have seen several web sites that use 'Gallery' -- it seems to use a script to generate PHP code which then dynamically generates the HTML code. This must cause high processor utilization in the server in addition to being difficult to debug. That would be one to NOT use. Those sites and the 'Gallery' software stick in my mind because they are so terrible. * On a gallery page that has both images and folders, there is no way to tell (in advance) if the icon is for a single image or a folder. * Sometimes pages don't load, or come up blank. * Sometimes images don't load. * On some sites the image display page is 5 to 10 times wider than my monitor -- I find that I have to do a very vigorous scroll left/right to find the image. Someone must have decided that if the product was targeted for amateurs to use, it should be written by other amateurs. In addition, of the dozen or so websites I have seen, no two were running the same version and all buggy in different ways. MGD
