Major Additions - VB image Hosting

VB Image Hosting Version 1.0.1

This is the port for my hack to vb 3.6.x
check it for vb 3.5.x here

A New installer replaced the old one so you should not face any problems with database

NOTE :
People who were using vbimghost in vb 3.5.x and moved to vb 3.6.0 MAKE sure that you have vbimghost 1.4.1 Since this port will only support upgrading from that ver only
People who do a fresh install use this ver.

Requirements:

1. requires GD 2.0.1 or later (2.0.28 or later is recommended).
2. PHP ver 4.3.x or later (newer ver is better).

NOTE:
before you post any error here :
Set that path to your forums correctly in the vbimghost options.
if you getting the error ""supplied argument is not a valid"
that's because you didn't set the path correctly

And for all the people asking when is the next release it will be in 2007 not this month .. due to some problems in real life ..

I have the problem solved now. xcache was messing the script up once xcache was disabled everything went back as it was.

[ComputerVitals]

I found xCache to do the same issue.

From what I and others have found xCache seems to not like PHP 4.4x

Is there any way to store images in the file system rather than the db?

[Merriweather]

I just did the install, made sure it was enabled, set my usergroup to have permission to use it... but nothing is different? I see no place to upload images... help!

ETA ~ Oops, I didn't do the template changes yet. Guess I ought to try that first...
