Just one point from me. If there are other novices out there (like me) they may find a small problem. I cant seem to find anything about CHMOD the imagehosting directory in your install instructions. It might be an idea to add the details. Or I could be wrong, but when I tried the system out I got the obvious errors untill I done the CHMOD.
Thanks again.
Kind regards.
Sorry i must have forgoten it while writing the doc
i have updated the installation file and reuploaded the file
One thing before I install it on myetalk.com, does this work with Image Magick? Meaning does this modification require Apache for it to work correctly?

Thanks!
looks great, btw!
it uses GD library if you have it, it will work
i didn't support image magick cuz i didn't have it on my testing server

but i will in future releases
I hope you include it rather soon, as I am using lighttpd, and it's a software that makes your server load alot faster the only downfalls is that Apache doesn't work, which means no GD

got everything installed ok but when i click "host it!" the page will load then i come to a blank screen at http://www.mysite.net/forum/vbimghost.php ,i reuploader the vbimghost.php file but still comes up blank...any know why?
On the user side of things the mod is working great. It seems though that the problems for me start when in admin.
For example:
I get this error when I try to delete and image from the admin panel:
Code:
Warning: unlink(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/imagehosting/144a6366f2bf64.gif) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/*****/:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /myadmin/vbimghost.php on line 311

And also when I rebuild thumbnails all I get is:
Thumbnail Not created for blah.gif
Any ideas?
Kind regards.
well this happens if you didn't set the forum path in the config.php file , did you se it ?
as for the Thumbnail not created
there is severals reasons one of it is the the image is smaller than the thumbnail so it won't creae one for it .
