love this hack and its continued improvements...
one problem...

the replies don't seem to actually work in the forumhome display. I turned it on to show 1 reply. And no matter what it always has "never" for the replies.

anyone else get this to actually work?

My picture is stuck, same over and over again and it does not work in explorer. The latest comments and rating does not work either

Good to note, there is still a lot to work out - The 1st time the hack was made it had a lot of problems. You are reporting on the beta file ?


EDIT:
The only problems I see so bar w/ the beta is:

phrases:
Filesize
Dimensions
Category

And to kill the table that is on the forumhome when a user/usergroup can not see thumbnails.

I installed the hack and it works fine except only admin can see it on FORUMHOME.
All users can see images when they go directly to the gallery.

Any ideas why???

Hi patsalko,

I had just the same issue. Try the new Beta here:

That did the trick for me

Thanks,

Have you made the file Edits ?



I have a few bugs to crush - Hit me up on IM if your still stuck.

Yup I made file edits, this error is given when I try to import the XML file only. Could this be related to a previous install or perhapps another plugin?

I already had one other plugin in that seemed to conflict with another one.

Ok, the only thing I did different since last night was try to install the beta. Seems to be working, it's possible my download was corupt.

The beta is closer to being gold. The other file does have a lot of junk. I seen you in chat, then you left.
