I've switched several of my sites to CPGnuke - once I tried it, I just really wound up liking the features it has.

Add that into that the only way I can keep a secure version of a gallery that is embeded into my site is to use CPGnuke - lol, I must admit that was one of the main reasons I had to try it.

It is a very nice system actually - to my surprise - I don't know how it will pan out in the next few years - but there are things that would cause me to feel I *had* to seriously consider switching:

• secure gallery (would LOVE to have a store/print feature combo on this though)
• multiple forums and gallery options that are easy to add in
• chatrooms with IMs and avatars and emoticons that is built in (a dream I know LOL)
• treasury module and block
• a writers submission module like fictioneer capabilties
• a toplist like MS_TopList
• a data tracker like MS_Analysis
• groups and/or points systems that work
• banners easily added into the site between forum catagories, on the topics, the posts, and overall for the forums, as well as easily added to sit between news posts on the front page, and easily added to top or bottom or both for all pages on the site
• something that wont interfere with a marquee in a theme
• banner exchange module - so that you could have a page embeded in the site with a form that allow them (even non members if the admin sets it that way) to submit their own banner and list them in a page and allow the admin to move them, sorta like MS_Toplist but without the rating ... hmm like a combo of web links and ms_toplist lol
• an embeded secure store

And Im sure I forgot something. My little dream wish list LOL!

But I do find that Im loving the smoothness of CPGnuke and the ease of adminstrating it.

Just thought I'd throw that out - cuz right now I dont feel like I have an option especially for my sites with a gallery and as it stands now CPGnuke is better than regular phpnuke seems like.

But there's room for variety! lol

Gimme optionssssssssssssssssssssssssss and I'd be a happy happy girl! lol
