Hi,
I have difficulty viewing the image.
During the creation of a topic does not appear to me the choice to search by MDB, and later edited the topic appears.
I choose the image, save, but this does not appear in any position.

What can be?

[VBDev]

Hum,

There was such problem with the first version, you are running the latest one ?

Anyways, for the upload problem check if mgc_products/mgc_vbcovers/covers permissions are 777 ?

Cl?ment

Hello vBDev,
yes i have installed last version, and i have CHMD 777 this directory.

Sorry VBDev,
I had not properly set the permissions, now it works
I would say that I can buy the pro version!

But I have seen that changing the image size changes in each position set, you can choose the size for the three positions?

Thanks! Installed and works perfect, the Pro version is definitely worth it Fast response and great support on their site.

You can change two sizes, the one in the threads list and the one in the thread itself for both locations in the thread.

Hello,
I have a problem in properly display images in the topic.
I put an image to Topic Bloodforge, and the icon appears in the topic below and not to bloodforge.

I've attached a picture to explain.

Moreover, how can I not bring up the images in the topics list?

Thx in advance

[wolfe]

is it possible to have these images auto upload to a set album on the admins account so if anyone uploads image by url it goes into album and returns album url ?? would be a great feature.. thanks

[ultimategeek]

Can you explain the errors/issues you are getting and provide more details?
