I looked through the template.html and placed the {LOGIN_FORM} tag in... No matter where I put it or how I put it, it disrupted the layout of the head of my gallery page...
This is what I have:

I have no idea where in this mix the {LOGIN_FORM} is supposed to go... I went to your website and selected different themes to see how the layout appeared... When I selected mac ox x, the Login and Password form wasnt there, but when I went back to Tentacle it was... It didn't seem to appear in either of the two themes I prefer: mac and Igames...
your theme.php doesn't need any modifications!!! Undo them. Haven't you seen that you already have the menu entry 'My friends' without the need to mess around with it?
Only things to do is to add the placeholder {LOGIN_FORM} to your template.html and the css to your styles.css (adapt the colors). That's all
Without any modifications, yes, the "My Friends" link is there... Unfortunately, that is all it does... I created an user so that I could be in the gallery as two different users at the same time... As the user "Joey" I sent a PM to myself using the 'send pm' link found next to one of my uploaded test photos... When I clicked the "my friends" link signed in as the admin, there was nothing there. There was no pm, no inbox or outbox option... This the main PM/Active/Block/Request to be friend screen... That's all.
I changed the theme.php back to the way it was... That's why the "my friends" link is back... I don't have a need to change the .css yet because the colors are the same... I'm only interested in making the system work... I can adjust colors later if necessary... I followed all of the steps listed in the other thread and the ones found in this one and it's just not working. I am a novice with this stuff. At this point I don't know what to do... I like the function of PM'ing and being able to show who is online and logged in and add buddies and so on... It's perfect for the site I want to attach this gallery too... It is very frustrating and I know you are probably a very busy person with all of this... My apologies if I am asking too much... I'm probably missing something that is very simple, sitting right before my eyes and it is making me crazy... I've been staring at this gallery stuff for a couple of weeks and now it all just looks like a bunch of scrambled letters... If I can't get it, then I'll simply go with out it and stick to just the basic gallery functions... Thank you for you help in either case... It is appreciated...
Ciao
