No, the ones you've got are fine.

Also, I've turned off the Gallery/Album feature and will probably remove it entirely. I'll encourage you to use www.flickr.com instead.

We're not even sure it was obner that got hacked - may have been another phpbb board on the server (my guess is that it was, since we are actually running the most current version for once), but I don't want to take any chances for unnecessary features.

..."unnecessary?!?" Really, Haqelford Q. Williamstein, I'm shocked and appalled.

haha, no - you just upload to an image-hosting site and put the url in your profile instead of uploading something. should be easy enough.

so you'd rather we link it directly from another website? i'd just as assumed that's where the trouble was coming from. is this why you got rid of yours? is there something you're not telling us?

as long as you link to reliable hosts and smallish pictures, there shouldn't be any problem. the problem is large pics on slow hosts, and lord knows ours isn't exactly flojo.

i got rid of mine because i was sick of it and couldn't think of anything else to use.
