Admin-Option: Featured Post (thanks for Bernd and his suggestions for this): Now you can mark a thread as featured. Add a little thumbnail to the first post and it will be shown at the top of forumhome. (Oh, Bernd, you don't need any longer a special forum for it. Now it jumps right to the selected thread). This can be set on/off by the gallery-options. Also you can define a name for the included thumb, so it will not be shown.

How then did u distinguish between spotlight images and regular images? Did u use a sql statement that selects the featured thumb name? looking forward to seeing this integrated into future versions..it's a hassle to edit everything upon upgrade each time.

When I say seizing up my board, I mean it slows down. I don't know why it's getting slow, however when it's live on my production form, it times out and if I don't catch it quick enough, I'll have to restart apache on my server. The old version worked fine, do you have that one that I can use?

Let me know if you want me to set up an admin pass to my board so you can get in there and look around. Or let me know a time you'll be on and I can turn it on and send you a link so you can see it.

@Bernd: Yes, this is what i did. I made one query for the normal latest gallery-pictures, which filters out those pictures from the threads marked as featured (so the header-thumbnails are not shown). And another query only gets the header-thumbnails from the gallery.

This is already included now in the latest version.

@imported magjr: Would you be so kind and send me the details via PM. I'll check.

@wezoo: I'll upload a picture into the gallery. Normaly you just have to upload a picture, as normal. But you don't need to use [Attach], because this places the picture in the textfield beneath.

You mark a thread as featured with the thread-tools (the popup-menu above the thread).

[Harald_T]

Marking a thread as featured: Use the thread-tools above the thread.

Weezo, could it be, that you don't use thumbnails in posts? Check you vbulletin-options, if thumbnails a) will be used and b) will be made.

[wezoo]

Hi Harald

yeah i belive that thumbnails are enabled !!!

still no luck

@wezoo:

[wezoo]
