Hello;
well, if you know how to insert a link in the userbox, there is a way to do what you asked for, maybe not the best, but it works.
First, go to templates/your_template/ and edit the template file called home.html. As you need not to show the new pictures in the homepage, delete all code parsing {lang_new_images} and {new_images}.
Now, at the root of your 4images website, where index.php is located, create another php file called new_pics.php. This file has to contain this code, partially copied from index.php:
<?php

We have here got the script to search new images.
Now, we have to let it be displayed in a new page, different than default pages.
Go to templates/your_template/ folder and create a file called new_pics.html, containing this code ( for 4images default template, try this example below, and please make your own modifications to fit with your own template):
{header}

I have tried this modification on 4images 1.7.4 and it works fine.
Just remember to create a link to new_pics.php in your userbox.
Hope it could help a little. Feel free to ask more information.
