I run a photo gallery on my website, and I'm not happy with the software I'm currently using. Gallery2.

I've been searching for the perfect gallery software for about the past week, and I haven't found anything I like yet. Everything is either bloated(read: too many features that I'll never want or use) or so simple it doesn't do what I want.

I've tried just about every major gallery software, and was wondering if you guys had anything I haven't tried yet.

The things I want is a simple clean interface, both user, and backend, no comments, or the ability to turn them off. It needs to have Albums, and sub-album support, and if it is Java or flash, not take years to load, it will have lots of pictures.

Well at my photo site ( http://www.adrian-moore.co.uk/ )
i use the lightbox css trick for quick display, and for the main gallery ( http://www.adrian-moore.co.uk/mg2/ ) i use this script/photo gallery http://www.minigal.dk/ which can have different skins

Ah!!! STRETCH!!! just realised, its you...duh! ... i think you may have already used the MG system ... think you introduced it to me

lol, Hi Adrian. I know I've tried it before. Maybe I'll try it out again. It's been a while since I've used it. Can you disable the comments? And can you have thumbnails of other photos of the same album on the single photo page?

well i have told my system not to allow comments, yet it still displays the form boxes to fill in.... but i do like it, it nice and clean looking , and simple to use

Stretch so far the only ones that are sexy looking are the ones we looked at in chat the other night: JAlbum, BananAlbum, SimpleViewer.

Looking around, I can't see much that isn't either gory looking or you have to pay megabucks for. Maybe someone else here has an idea.

If no one steps in here, maybe you could PM odin_aa who digs photography bigtime and is a member of a photography forum. Perhaps he or one of the members there could have good suggestions.
