Yeah... I got off my butt tonight and finally fixed the photo gallery. As a new security release was released today I thought it would be a good time to do it. So I downloaded the full version, and went through the upgrade procedure. Along the way I discovered a few places that things weren't running right. After the upgrade was all done though it still wasn't working correctly! Arrrgghh! After about 20 minutes of poking around I found that I didn't compile php with GD support. Reinstalled it, then restarted the web server... YAY! Everything works now!
So enjoy!
