I'd been happily using Gallery 1 for some years, but recent events have forced me to upgrade. I installed the most recent V2 today, and am trying to obtain the same functions that I had in 1.x Please bear with me as I give an idiot's list of things that I am having difficulty with.

1) I can enable Registered Users to add a sub-item (a photo), but do not see a way for them to remove their photo after they've uploaded it. Nor do I see how to let them add custom comments (I created custom comments, but don't see them on the permissions or whatever list.

2) How does one get voting to work? I installed the module, but (again) see no place to implement it.

That gets me started. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Try the user albums module

After you enable the ratings module you need to enable it for your albums in Edit Album -> Album tab -> Rating

OK, found the ratings boxes (thanks), but cannot create a new album for each member. Several member photos get placed into one album for all to view and rate. Additional ideas are welcome.

try the user albums module - this gives each user his/her own album w/ full control
