Default Comparison to Photopost and vB Integration

Hi,

at the moment I`m running a vB based community with a PhotoPost Gallery containing ca. 5000 photos.

There are some things that I don`t like about PhotoPost:
  • No posting-integration. When users post a message they have to open the gallery in anther window and learn how to copy/paste in order to add an image to their post. This is very user-unfriendly.
  • The other way round: When a user posts a message and wants to add a photo to it, he can`t upload an image to the gallery in the message-posting dialogue
  • When I delete images - for example when I banned a user - the images are not deleted from the file system and so the images keep appearing in the forum
  • Missing Web 2.0 features. Everyone is using/talking about creative commons, flickr, facebook etc. but there is no support for integrating this stuff into my gallery.
  • No modern display options like lightbox or something like this - this one even has image-tagging which is also very useful.
  • Most annoying: all the new album features of vB 3.7 have no connection with Photopost.

Has Photoplog any advantages in the sections I mentioned above? If so, would it be possible to convert a Photopost gallery into Photoplog?

Thank you - all the best,
Sacha
