If you click to link to the latest post in a particular forum directly from the main forum directory, it has no problem, but when you try to do same action with the latest post in the NSXPrime member Photo Galleries, it comes up with a blank display saying No photo specified.

Incidentally I also learned that you can now upload multiple pics directly from your hard-drive as opposed to just the one previously. Very convenient & avoids having to post a sequential post just to add one more pic, or have to upload them to a host first. This may have been noted before but I hadn't come across it - just tried & it worked!

Edit: These below are actually two seperate images although they look like they were pre-merged into one

Lud, here’s a quick observation I made:

It looks like all of the photo gallery links displayed in the forum list are not in the format PhotoPost expect.

The URLs in the forum list is in the format http://www.nsxprime.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/3362 (A), but PhotoPost expects format http://www.nsxprime.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=3362 (B).

The links to galleries (NSX Prime Member Photo Galleries, Picture Of The Month, etc.) have the same problem as well, causing a default view to be shown rather than the specific gallery.

I think prior to the recent vBulletin upgrade (and changes to integrate PhotoPost with the forum list), PhotoPost used links in the format (A). During the upgrade, maybe it was inadvertantly changed to format (B). Perhaps there is a setting in PhotoPost for this. If so, changing it to use format (A) should solve the issue. An alternate solution would be the change the links displayed in the forum list to format (B).
 
I assumed this was something Lud was still working on. All the Photo Gallery link send me to the same page.
 
Following-up on my previous post...

Lud, I think there might be an option called "Use Spider-friendly URLs" in the PhotoPost admin settings. If it’s set to No, you might want to try changing it to Yes (unless there is a specific reason not to).
 
Following up on what I mentioned earlier: Each link under the "NSX Prime Shared Photo Galleries" area at the bottom of the main forum page takes me to the same page, which is shown bellow (doesn't matter which link I click on). Additionally, the URL's are different in the address window, but it matters not. However, in jumping to the particular areas once in the photopost section, I noticed a difference in the actual URL's (maybe what they should be on the main forum page) versus the link URL's.

POM URL from link on main forum page:
http://www.nsxprime.com/photopost/showgallery.php/cat/503

URL once I have navigated to what I think I am supposed to have been directed to:
http://www.nsxprime.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=503

Bellow is the page I am directed to from the main forum page, no matter the link I click on.
