First of I would like to say I'm new here so if this is the wrong forum I'm sorry. My site is about Halo 3 Map's and I want my user's to be able to submit there map's, like but a few images/description/link, would a gallery add on be able to do that or is there a different mod that can do that? thanks.

You'll need to read a bit,
You'll need to read a bit, but I suggest you use the CCK module to create a new content type for your maps. They can include images via the CCK Image additional module, and Image Cache module for thumbs. That gives you the basis of your user's maps; then use the Views module to give you summary listings of all the users' maps. Later, use Taxonomy (from Drupal core) to categorize the maps for different views.

Thanks
Thanks for the advice, I will install all these and try and configure them to my liking.
As long as you don't over do
As long as you don't over do it, feel free to post questions you may have to this thread. It may take some casual explaining before you see how these pieces fit together to give you a platform to make your Halo 3 map sharing site. I'll check back to see if you've posted any questions. (Use the "My account" sidebar link to get to a "track" page of all your past postings - a great way to see if anyone else has added to any of your threads.)
Also, you'll probably want to install a GUI based text field editor - I recommend the FCKeditor. That's actually one of the harder modules to install, because the Drupal module is just the shell enabling the non-Drupal editor to operate within Drupal. So, once you get the module, you have to get the editor itself, and insert it into the right subdirectory within the module's directory structure. HINT: the online docs are not nearly as useful as the step by step instructions in the module's README.
Good luck!

Ok so I got everything
Ok so I got everything working, the category's work but when users submit there maps they don't show up. did I do something wrong with the view?
I'll need a little bit more
I'll need a little bit more info to be able to help you. Did you create a custom content type for your maps? When you're creating a "map" node, do you see your map image? Is it only the View that you don't see your map images?
