It looks like with very little changes, this could be changed to something like "Member's Personal Pages" that would fit in with any website theme.

Once again, Great Job Magnus!!

How did you manage to do this?

Also, are user comments something that could be included in future releases?

Are you running GD 2.0 on your server? (Check your /admincp/index.php?do=phpinfo and find the GD heading)

That's my problem at the moment.

Blah stupid me.. just relized I am running Imagemagik.. lol.. I was running GD on my old box.. blah.. i knew something was bunked

In your "to-do" list you say:

Planned Features
- Admin control. Ability to delete/modify user's garages.
- Multiple entries per user.

So, am I correct in assuming that currently users can only have one entry?

I'm very excited about this hack and thank you so much for your generosity in sharing it with everyone!

When you add comments, ability for users to have multiple entries and pagination for the entries pages then you have a great multi-purpose hack! One that could be used as an "articles" or "journals" hack as well...and, trust me, there is a huge demand for this!

possible to tidy up the image quality? at the moment imagecreatetruecolor is stil making images blurry unless that is the width tag doing that?

Ian, look back in this thread, I included the code for POSTBIT/POSTBIT_LEGACY and USERINFO. It's really quite easy, just edit the paths to reflect your directory structure.

I have attached some screenshots of how these look on my board:
