I don't understand your question? If you enable the automatic posting of new entries in a forum and you have provided an image as the main file or accompanying image, then the post will include an image bbcode to show that image.

The image should be displayed, provided the following apply:

a) the image is a jpg, gif or png
b) the LDM admin setting *local_file_root* is *no*

It will not appear if *local_file_root* is set to *yes* because there is no way then for vbulletin to find the image file.

If this does not help, I'm happy to take a look at your site, but will need admin privs.

ok, I'll try that!

AndrewD, now that vBulletin 4 beta is out, any idea whether you would be updating this mod or not?

as per my answer on the vb3.7 thread:

I *hope* to do so . I have bought licences for the new forum + CMs software and am currently trying to get me head around how things work. The upgrade will probably not be a very quick process, however - quite important bits of the infrastructure have changed.

Understandable, with the whole code being re-written. However, it's nice to know that you're working on it. Thanks!

Many Thanks if this works half as good as I am expecting even if it isn't what I thought it to be initially LOL!

Being relatively new to the world of vB, and based on the name, I thought it was the links directory mod.with an updated name from the board I moded on before, that had the links directory, not realizing that product is a vBa subscribed mod, since I didn't get that far to add vBa when I downloaded this!

Hmm come to think of it though, we didn't have cmps on that board, is theree more than one version of a vB links directory page?

Anyways, marked installed, voted for and nominated if it still counts toward anything!

Great and versatile mod(s) especially with the numerous extras!

TSG!

Hi,

I recently had to upgrade out forum from vB3.6.X to latest vB3.8.X. In accordance I had to upgrade LDM. Now there is a problem:

As regular users edit an entry they created, the "Parent category" listbox at the bottom in NOT populated. As a result, if they confirm their editing they would get a "Category does not exist" error.

This is not a problem from admin forum users.

Any idea what could cause that?

Thanks in advance
