For what it's worth, I can't access the gallery either. It says I'm not in the right group of user.

Hayseed - Welcome to the site. I see that you are already participating, so I've moved you to the 'Friends' group which gives you full access.

Dan54 - I see that you've been a member for quite a while, but as you haven't participated on the site, you are in the 'Users' group which has restricted access - sorry about that.
