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 had a couple more questions. They may have been answered in the last few pages but I didn't see them.

1) Users can either delete everyone's images, or nobody's images, correct? It seems if I enable the Administration option, they can delete anyone's instead of just their own.

2) The filmstrip seems to do sort of wacky stuff for me. Maybe it's because the user has only 3 or 4 images, but it shows 2 of 3 as thumbnails, then when one's clicked it seems to show a random number of thumbnails the next time. I might just not understand how it's supposed to work, maybe someone could explain it to me.

admin is for Administrators ( if you enable a group to admin then that group would modify all the image)
any member can delete his image by default.

the filmstrip should show only the images before / after the curent image (based on the number of fields you set in the option) it's recomended to make that number an odd number so it can display correctly

I have the problem when a user tries to download an avi, IE 6 tries to open the file without asking the user if he wish to download, save or open the file.

Anyone know how to fix this?

The mod works great so thanks for making it!

i got one weird problem that occures when people use the quick upload tool within a topic. After uploading an image it places the image on top of the board header instead of in the topic, it doesnt stay after you hit the post new topic button but it doesn't appear in the topic content either.

Sometimes it works though so i dont know what it is. It always works when i go back to edit the topic and try again.

Is there a way users can make "folders" or albums to seperate the photos?
