PhpBB : Biggest community, more mods, addons, skins ...
Invision : Faster (less db queries) more fonctions.

PhpBB : under GPL, I really prefer their licensing policy

By the way, having less db queries doesn't mean that it will be faster. I do prefer having 20 queries for a total of 0.01 second than 10 queries for a total of 0.1 seconds. All is the just about optimization.

But let's talk about it in 1 year :)

yes... phpBB 2.2 will be out and will have replaced my IPB for PhpWebGallery forum

I don't want to fight, we are not in the good section for these  :-?

you're right  :D 

Don't forget other solutions like MAMBO...
I know what will be said : 'it's just a blog engine'
But It's more than this : it's as simple and efficient CMS fully customizable.
And look at the components you can add : RSGallery, Simple board...
Here is a good example of what can be done including these two compmonents : http://www.rsdev.nl/

The world evolves, the WEB too. So pay attention to convergences...

i am looking for a web gallery where:

- users can upload their own photo's in an album
- users can add titles to their own photo's
- 1  picture from all users are is constantly being randomized when reloaded on the mainpge
- you can browse by user
- you can browse through all images, instead of browsing per user
- the layout of the pages isn't heavy designed, so i can modify the interface easily
- i can specify the size of the thumbnails and the actual photo's

anybody knows such a script ? :D

Je viens de trouver cette web gallerie : http://www.couloir.org/

Ca fait son effet :)

witch kind of WebGally should i use for about 100.000 pictures ? (i host all, but i meet some trouble with the Thumb generation and the synchronise :-)  )

I would say PhpWebGallery with a good organisation of physical categories. I mean pictures can only be found in sub-level 3 or 4. Thus you can synchronize only a single physical category at once. You split the synchronize process.

No solution for the thumbnails generation process. I only advise you to generate thumbnails outside of PhpWebGallery.

PS: the biggest gallery I know running with PhpWebGallery is "only" 60,000 pictures and 1,000 categories, but it runs very well.
