Seems I can only access the Member Galleries only through My Gallery Photos. Been like that for a while now and not sure if it's a 'problem',site-work transition niche thing, or if this is the now permanent way of access.
Or, am I just stumbling around with the answer right in front of me?
cheers!

Rick,
We made some changes to the settings on the gallery to increase performance. Sadly one of the affected areas was that Member Galleries don't appear on the homepage in an indexed manner. Of course you can still access user galleries via their "my photos" button in the forum and on their profile page. With over 25,000 users and 150,000 images this is an unfortunately side-effect.

Thanks,
Jim
