Every thing seems to be working so far except for the "Garage" link in the navbar.

If I click it, the pull-down works but only the help link is active. Is this because it is the free version? Or is the Garage link supposed to work?

Thanks,

In Garage Plus you'll see additional browse and search options under the menu. In the free version only the help link is displayed. The Garage text is just a title of the drop down menu and does not link to anything.

Thanks again,

When using the "URL to Image" option to add an image to a garage it actually pulls the image defined by the URL, resizes, and saves the actual image into your site. This way it insures that the image doesn't go away at the remote location and breaks an image in your garage. Given this make sure that you enter the full URL to an image. For example to use an image that is hosted on Photobucket you have to do a little digging for the full URL of an image:

1) Here is a page containing an image (http://media.photobucket.com/image/b...ture_st4pz.jpg)

2) Right click on the image and select the option to view the image in its own window

3) Right click on the image to copy its URL to your clipboard (or copy it from your browser's address bar). In this case the URL is http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w...ture_st4pz.jpg

Note: the URL in #3 is similar to that in #2 but one displays surrounding page content while the other does not. If you were to use the URL in #2 in the URL to Image field you would get a white page - a bug that I'll address in our next release since it should error gracefully.

4) Paste the URL into the "URL to Image" field when adding an image in your garage.

5) Add a caption and click upload.

This should retrieve the image from the remote server, resize it if needed, and save it on your site's server.

If something else is occurring and causing a white page please PM me with the steps needed reproduce the problem along with the URL you are entering in the "URL to Image" field.

Thanks!
