I'll add my 2 cents....

I've been using y2ksw's mod for years and it's been working flawlessly on our v4.1.3 pl8 ... :up:

I check every morning by manually running his "vB4 Import External Images" cron job, just to see if it's hanging on any image imports, which way back in early versions used to be the result of it trying to import some HUGE freakin image a member had linked to in a post.

I haven't had it hang up for years, but I still check it as an old habit....

I'm running v1.06, but it's been so long, I can't remember why. That's what happens when you get to be almost 70.

I know I had PayPal donated to y2ksw for his excellent work and I also think I did more PayPal's a few times more as he privately helped me with some issues. I may have ended up with v1.06 as a result. For some reason, I think along the way working with him, he did something to ensure that it didn't crash when some clown member tries to link to a picture off-site that's too large for the code to handle. I think he also had me change some PHP values, but again, it's been so long since I've had to touch anything.

v1.06 is what my AdminCP currently shows me running and it's been reliable and probably one of the best vBulletin add-ons we use.

It's amazing to see images from members that go back years and years, which have long since been deleted from their original off-site linked to storage, still be showing in their posts. Being a research site, it has been extremely helpful in keeping old threads with pictures still relevant after several years, instead of getting that dreaded "Photo Missing" error.

Thanks again for your excellent add-on y2ksw ... :up:

Hope that helps someone else here ...
