error when clicking on Category(back to index)
Installed [fb3b07.zip], put a folder in "/photos", category worked. But when I clicked on the category name (i.e. $fbcats), the link broke (/image/ is missing) .

Traced error to line 304:
<a href=\"$fbfile/$post$thiscat/" .
should have been
<a href=\"$fbfile/$post" . "image/" . $thiscat .

okay, I will try again:

error on line 304:
"$fbfile/$post$thiscat/" should have been:
"$fbfile/$post" . "image/"

csloh, the line is actually correct — the "/image/" shows up if there is no category selected, but if there is a category selected, only the category name shows up ("fb.php/people/").

Not sure why you'd be having trouble otherwise — do you have a link to your blog so I can check out your directory structure?

I found that out (because after my meddling, the category won't work). I was trying to delete my posts here, but could not find a way to. Another "thing-to-do"? :-)

I will be happy for you to see what i have done (http://photo.csloh.com/), I have also submitted the URL to be featured by Folderblog.

While you are at it, could you also take a look at my "fotobuzzed" version? I can not add comment (even though I have CHMOD my "photos" directory to 777. (http://www.csloh.com/fotobuzz/)

okay, problem solved. Once I removed the trailing backslash on the $WWW_ROOT and $IMAGE_ROOT. (e.g. "/public_html/"). It worked. I wish it will prompt an error though, and save me the trouble. "I also need to make sure the absolute path are added for all .js files.

Any fotobuzz stuff you'll have to take up with 2Entwine. Glad you got it working, though.

(I never plan to add an option to delete forum posts, by the way. Feel free to just say "whoops, I got it" in response to any post where you no longer need help.)

Sure thing. I just want to let you know that I have tried both Folderblog ver 2 and 3. I like the new category feature better, and I have decide to stay with 3. :-)

jano, not sure what this one could be. There's got to be something different, server-side, between the family photos directory and the others. Make sure all your photos have lowercase .jpg extensions — you also may need to make sure the photos themselves are set to at least 755 (in case they existed before you chmod'ed the directory).
