As an update, users were not able to log in, I was, as well as my supermods. Everyone else couldn't.

permissiosn are set. I disabled this and they were able to log in.

Ideas?

[bonjurkes]

is there a way to make the thumbs at forumhome bigger?

[ABeautifulBrown]

I think because I am using the Blaze template, it is not showing up on my forumhome. How can I add it in there?

You should be able to select "custom" in the placement of the hack.

add: $vbgallery

In the forumhome template.

hey. I put that in the template and I set the placement to custom. I still don't see it though. It's supposed to be showing above my stats mod display but nothing shows. Any ideas? TIA!

Hey E! I've had this working for a while, so if you need help, let me know.

[sunnycher]

I'd love to put this on my forum.
Is it stable for 3.62?
I'm reading all the database errors here, I sure don't want to go through those again.
Any ideas if it's working with no problems?

Well, this almost got me kicked off of my hoster because of the ineffient coding, so I removed it.

[sunnycher]

Thank you!!
I don't think I'll be installing it, I sure hate that too.
It's a nice hack!

And I quote the message I received after trying to get this installed:

There were some developments this morning with your site that were causing crashes. This was apparently due to some photo gallery hack you had installed in your vBulletin install. I've needed to disable this, as it's both highly inefficient code and was resulting in degraded service for everyone. We've also determined your account to be using an excessive amount of CPU time and memory on the server. Your site is currently responsible for 10-20% of the CPU time and up to 33% of the memory usage on the system over the past few weeks.

Remove it and no longer having problems.
