 * First off, a big thanks to Cais for his help in fixing NextGen on my site.
    Now………….
   I’ve been looking for a plugin to do something specific and I’m hoping NextGen
   can. I’ve been looking around at all the options in NextGen and so far I really
   haven’t seen what I want, but with all the options available I hope I’m just 
   missing it.
 * I want to add a gallery similar to what Gallery3 did. If your not familiar with
   Gallery3, it was a standalone gallery generator that was perfect for what I want
   to do. But due to many reasons (not the least being it’s no longer being maintained),
   it’s time to find something else.
    Basically what I want is a gallery that displays
   the images in thumbnails, preferably with a description. Each thumbnail in turn
   links to a post. I do not want a slideshow or a lightbox. I want separate posts
   for each image. I also want this gallery to be part of my site, not a site itself.
   An example is [http://www.nosaintshistory.com/New-Orleans-Saints-History-Pictures/](http://www.nosaintshistory.com/New-Orleans-Saints-History-Pictures/).
   This is what I have already made with gallery3 and am looking to do with NextGen.

 * [@philbeaux](https://wordpress.org/support/users/philbeaux/) – Thanks!
 * Unfortunately the idea of linking a gallery thumbnail to an arbitrary URL is 
   not something NextGEN Gallery currently does although it is a popular Feature
   Request item we are reviewing for a future release.

 * At least you’re considering it.
    I’ll just keep checking in.

   we will add the feature unfortunately I just don’t have a timeline at the moment.
