@wrang: the 'bad open' message happens when the PHP fopen() call fails. It's either a permission or ownership issue. Are you running PHP in safe mode by chance?
@nitro: in the v.1.0.4 zip, look about 2/3 the way down the README.txt file to find general upgrade instructions, so you don't have to do all the steps to upgrade.
@The Ottoman: to view, upload, etcetera a user needs permission, which is embedded in bitfields, so while the call is HTTP, PhotoPlog is 'same server' written.
@allstar55: not sure why the issue; what happens if you stick the showroom link directly into your vB navbar, using format like in the second post of this thread?
FYI: PhotoPlog updated to v.1.0.4, guess some new screens are in order. :dead:
