I have created an imagehosting folder in the location above, yes. I've also tried creating it in various other places, and done the CHMOD 777 change.

The path in the VB image host options section is correct too. I don't know what you mean about it being relative and not absolute though, or redirecting it in .htacess! Sorry!

sorry, I don't know :(
Your server is enabled to write files from the system "secure mode" off?
sorry its called "safe_mode"

As far as I am aware. Put it this way, I've had Photopost Pro running on it in the past without problems. The hosts messed that installation up though and I was to use VB Image Host as a user based solution and see how it goes until I get Photopost Pro resolved.

This looks like such a good hack too, yet there seems to be nil support from it. Looking through the last few pages, very few people are getting a reply except from other vB forum owners not associated with this hack - or so it seems.

Shame that, because this really does look very useful to me and I'd have liked to get it working.

I share your impressions about the support. Maybe you may mail to the developer at http://www.waieleid.com/ ?
I have got it running without problems, but this is clearly minor than http://www.photopost.com/ . It is freeware. You need to install the add ons too to get the charme of the software. My forum is only very small so there is no use to install the high score professional software.

Well I still can't get it to work, no matter what I've tried, including double-checking that I've installed everything step by step in the correct way. Very puzzling.

Its working now.

I changed the path, pretty much as is mentioned by a few people above.

BUT

I had uploaded a number of images that didn't appear correctly prior to doing this. Now, I am unable to delete them from either the forums, the AdminCP and I can't locate them anywhere on my server. Is there a way of resetting all image links and starting from scratch but without having to locate the dead files?

Asking again:

The directory where the images going to be stored according to your fourm root is defined in -VB image host options-Image path You need to definne this to a folder chmod 777. You are shure making the right settings?

im having trouble with the navbar...i cant find the code that they said to find

this is to insert the link/menue into the navbar.
Search for "navbar" using "Search in titles" only, so you will find one result only.

Using german version, do not know the precise names of phrases in english version.
