Follow these directions to set up the Gallery on your FusionBB-based messageboard:

To ensure that a forum is set up as a gallery, make sure that the Is Gallery box is checked. (This is located in the Admin CP, under the Edit Settings for the forum you want to make a gallery.) Once this is checked, instead of a list of posts in the forum, users will be able to view a list of thumbnail images.
Other settings to consider include the Make Medium-Sized Images and Make Thumbnails checkboxes, located on the same settings page. These will allow medium-sized and thumbnail images to be displayed in the list of forum topics.

o If a "Thumbnail not available" message is showing up instead of the image in the gallery topic list, check to make sure that you are using ImageMagick or GD library. One of those will need to be installed to generate thumbnails. If it's ImageMagick, then the path to mogrify needs to be defined in the config file.... if you're using the GD library instead, then the path can be left blank.

o By default - GD is usually part of PHP - particularly if you are using Cpanel or one of the other big control panels. But not always.

If GD is enabled, the following script will show you all the PHP settings:

<?
phpinfo();
?>
