The main reason we installed the gallery was to show off all the success stories we have on board. Many have been burried inside various threads and are hard to find, so the gallery makes it a lot easier.

We simply restricted guest access for guests, and as an added measure for privacy, we have removed any time limit for the photo owner to edit or delete their photos. So if they decide in a year or two to remove them, they can do it instantly through the edit/delete options.

We can easily make the gallery totally hidden, but it would be a shame that no one outside the forum gets a glimpse at those success stories.

However, for those who are absolutely shy, and only want to share their progress photos amoung our members, which isn't a small group , they can always use an attachment to their journals.
