I’m 99.9; % of the way there and I know this is an easy solution.

I’m doing a social network-ish kind of photo thingy.
I am using image and image gallery, and basically using the flickr model lullabot did http://www.lullabot.com/articles/how_to_build_flickr_in_drupal. It does what I need.

Anyhow, my question is this.

On user profile pages, I want to show a block.

That block is the pictures that the user you’re looking at has uploaded. Think Facebook ish.

So – I build a view of images

Style it up all nice
It’s a block.

I try to use arguments and I hit the wall.

I know how I would write it in code, but I don’t know how to implement in said evil views.

The url I’d be looking @ would be:

site.com/users/adam

I know I’m super close.

I feel like I'm right on the cusp of finally understanding views ... I've got a good background in programming, but I'm not used to being so far away from the inner workings (and I love it!!!)

Thanks for any help!

If you're just setting up a site now, you'd need a pretty compelling reason to build in Drupal 5 in my opinion... Is there a critical module that has not been ported to Drupal 6, that you cannot live without?

I do understand the awesomeness that is D6, but I'm not ready to move some of my projects to v6. I'm kind of waiting until more things are officially released before I implement this framework in to production.

That being said, I tried some of the above suggestions and between that and some creative vews, I've been able to build some nice profile widgets and call them directly in to the template.

Thanks for the help!
