I've tried several galleries but none worked well immediately. The Very Simple Image Gallery works immediately. But on my website the browser jumps to the top of the page when selecting a new image. I’m using the ja_purity template.
I solved the problem by selecting temporarily another template and then return to ja_purity. Then the problem was solved. Maybe it's a Joomla bug.

As everyone says, very simple and looks great! Only issue I had was at first some of my photos were showing up black, but then I realised I had to change the suffix from JPG to jpg and is all working fine now!! Great extension.
I used this extension for a school site, nice and usefull. Thank's
Hello.
Thank you for your great extension for joomla. I like it a lot, but I have a question.
Could I combine "sample1" gallery and "sample5" gallery. I want gallery to look like this at "sample1", but I want to navigate true pictures with clicking "back" and "next" - "sample5 gallery". It would be even better if navigation would be inside picture with arrows.
Is it possible?

Working on my first Joomla! site and just installed this great gallery and it is working great, nice and easy!
Thanks!
Thanks!
What can I say? Watching everything move forward into Web2.0 and beyong, and all the added complexity and conflict, it is refreshing to see an extension that just provides what is needed. Nothing fancy and nothing more than needed. Just a simple, small plugin that works flawlessly and correctly. Love it!
As the name says, this is a "very simple image gallery"
- I installed this plugin in seconds and without errors on Joomla 1.6
- Step by step documentation is excellent
- I highly recommend this gallery

It is a nice extension but could only get it to appear in one section of my website page layout. I need something more flexible.
I think my review title says it all. I have been using this extention for quite a while. The developer is always on the ball with updates and the documentation is perfect.
Pros: Simple to use, easy to install, easy to customise. Joomla 1.6 compatiable.
Cons: erm.... there isn't any.
Conclusion.
This should have been called "The simplest and easiest image gallery you will ever use". But that would have been a bit long. If the developer was to charge for this extention I would still use it! Its is outstanding. Its a must for any site that wants a photo gallery.

Thank you very much for VSIG, it is exactly what I needed. A huge thank you for your super fast support. SmartLoad feature in my template caused conflicts with many similar extensions I tried before. You are the only developer who was able to catch it and provide a solution.
Your help is greatly appreciated!

I would like to thank the team for making this gallery and supplying it. As a novice I had very little problems getting this product up and running.The only problems I had were caused by me in the excitement of getting it up and running.

Simply put, it does what it says it will do, no problems installing, configuring or running it.
I recommmend this to anyone that wants a gallery that they can have multiple users use by having them upload via FTP to a dedicated folder, and then just making a page on the site for each person's gallery.
Very nice work!
