Gallery Woes Pt. 2

So the gallery is dead. I did an upgrade and a db repair, then when all
that failed I tried a reinstall to no avail. I am using this as an
opportunity to refresh the file structure on the server, since I have
some time on my hands. I am seriously considering moving towards a
hosted service like Flickr, MobileMe, Picasa Web Albums or something
else, but they don't seem as configurable or extensible. I also have
more than a Gb of images, so they might start costing... Any links,
thoughts or experience on Gallery 2 vs. online hosting would be great.
In other news I recently bought some Kriega luggage for my bike and on
first inspection it looks great. More on that in due course. Miller out.
