I like the gallery too. It's nice to be able to, say...find pictures of a given user, stuff like that.
Here's my two cents. Keep BOTH picture "forums" open. why?
Well, for example, think to the photo threads on recent Burns Nights. Those threads have lots of pictures which are all linked by a common idea, in our case the "Nor Cal Burns Night". While it's currently possible to add one or two or three photos to a thread about "Nor Cal Burns Night", when viewing the photos, there's not much context to link them together. The same goes for Cessna2towser and pour1malt's Scotland trip photo threads.
i admit that I haven't tried the slide show function, yet. That might answer my thoughts.

I think that's the viewpoint of many of us. Trip photo threads were popular and appreciated.

I can't seem to get that to sound right. Probably better to take it out.

Okay, I just posted my first pic into the new gallery. Did work like a charm (just like uploading into my website files) 
My only question/comment is about when I posted a description, it gave me options, as I have now, of using different fonts / colors / etc, yet when I posted it just showed the html for that part.
Question:
will this be corrected? and is there anyway I can go back & delete that part of my description to "clean it up"?
Now all we need are some more catagories, as has been suggested earlier on (hint, hint, nudge, nudge)

ABSOLUTELY!!!
A gallery is nice but it does NOT take the place of photo threads.
