"I MUST say kudos to you and your company on a absolutely fantastic installer for Gallery2.

I was able to install Gallery2 yesterday night in about less than 5 minutes flat flawlessly. The script is GREAT, very well thought of, very informative, educational and above all error less. Keeps the person installing Gallery2 always attuned to what's going on and what will happen in the next step. Exhaustive checklist on what to do as a sidebar before the next step can be accomplished.

In particular, I liked your idea of actually creating the "login.txt" file with the code built in for verifying that the webmaster is the actual person installing Gallery2. "

"I LOVE LOVE LOVE Gallery. I'm a digital mom with a new grandson and I love sharing my photos with my family. Most of the public photo sites either require you make at least one purchase a year, or there is tons of advertising, or they are very confusing to navigate. When I saw that my web host had Gallery as a feature, I tried and love it. It's easy to use, reliable and my family can download higher resolution versions of my photos.

Then my host changed their platform and many of their features were dropped or being charged for. When I learned I could install Gallery myself, I tried it on a site with a different host. I'm just a step up from novice and it took me a little while to figure it out, but I did it. So I was able to leave the host I no longer wanted to stay with and switch to a new host with better services. I installed the Gallery 1.5 and it was fairly simple to do. The install process picked up most of the information that I wouldn't have been sure of and the rest was pretty straight forward.

Now I have Gallery installed on two of my domains, one just for me, my kids, grandkids, pets, family history... what ever strikes my fancy. The other I set up for other members of my family so that they could each have their own Gallery Album and upload their own photos themselves.

Gallery makes having my own domain sooo worth the small expense, and SO much fun. I don't understand why everyone doesn't have Gallery on their web site, to show products, or vacation or special events... what ever. And it's private, no advertisements, no having to share the site with thousands of other people, my own private URL with a name my family and friends know. It's wonderful!!!

Thank you so very much for this wonderful, fun and easy software.

"I have installed Gallery 2 with an E107 interface to my E107 intranet and it is getting compliments from everyone - both viewers and administrators! I expected "functional" but it has so much in terms of themes my fellow employees are blown away. It's saved hours of compressing files and the IT department now loves us because we halved our server space usage. Thank you for all your hard work on such a great product!"

"Hello everyone, About a year ago I first posted here asking for help on migrating my gallery from version 1 to the latest. As a designer, I had trouble grasping some of the technical jargon in G2, especially customizing it to do what I wanted it to do. After a lot of sweat and tears, I finally was able to learn the ins and out of it. Along the way, a lot of people here in the forum helped me out (a big thanks to Floridave!) and I was able to basically get the website out of my mind and into code form. Already, in less than 2 days, traffic has been picking up. A lot of my visitors love the COMMENT feature as well as the FORMATTED URLS for posting. Voting and Rating are also a big hit. Thanks Gallery team for making this possible for me. Based on feedback from my visitors, the #1 thing they want now is: ability to easily upload their photos into the gallery. The current setup is way too complicated and therefore I now use a third party form to make this easier as seen on my UPLOAD A PHOTO page. The other features that are requested is a bridge between vbulletin and G2 so users don't have to register for 2 accounts to post a comment (which is why I have guest comments on) AND a more seamless integration of adding comments to the photos without having to click the BACK TO PHOTO AND COMMENT link after it is posted. Thanks. "

"Gallery is the tenth script of its kind I've installed on my server. I've found several other scripts that looked promising when viewing the feature lists at the respective sites, only to have the installation process result in a nightmare of confusion (and I'm not a novice at this phase of the process). Gallery's install was brilliantly conceived. In this early stage of using Gallery, I'm excited about the fact that the interface seems very uncomplicated. To me this means that skinning the Gallery will also be very uncomplicated. I found Gallery at WikiPedia, and so far I'm very happy I found the program. Thank you for offering this Gem to the Internet community. "

"Thanks for Gallery. It´s a great product with many features and best of all - setup is really easy, you can´t do anything wrong. We (hitflip.de) use it for our internal gallery and are very happy with the product! Thanks to everybody who helped to create Gallery. Best regards, Peter from Germany"

"I just downloaded an installed Gallery 2. Can I just congratulate the team on creating a first class installation experience? This was the best installation wizard I have used by far, easy to use, informative and with some superb features which enable people to install their gallery installation. It really does prove that spending the additional time on coding the install properly pays off. Very very well done!"

"Since this is the place for feedback, I just wanted to let any developers of Gallery2 that this is a great piece of software. It's EXACTLY what I was looking for. Mostly, it was easy for me to install (being better with cameras that php files. The install was a pleasant surprise after dealing with some other 'automated' install programs, and the security warnings were a bonus. I've been playing with it for a couple of hours and have a good grip on it, and I'm sure I'll have more questions and confusion along the way. But for now, I can only say, "WOW" Thanks! Gallery ROCKS!"
