any possibility of adding a feature to limit the amount of disk space a group can use. IE: Registered members get 10mb of storage, but Moderators get 30mb

Great product, recent install.

I did see you answered someone's question about a watermark feature. Will be looking forward to that.

Also as a suggestion, the addition of a setting to use GD's convert feature to change the quality and/or size of a jpeg, many of my users like to upload straight out of a camera. That's great if you are planning on printing the pictures on glossy paper to put in a picture frame but anything over a 3 on the jpeg quality scale is a waste of space when viewing it on a monitor.

One more suggestion, allow admins to see which pictures are set private/public. Maybe in the AdminCP. Also the ability to see all pictures without having to input an user's name also.

When I'm in admin cp and I click "View members images" or "Rebuild thumbnails" Nothing happens. The page doesn't change ..... It just stays on the page it was originally on.

Last week it use to go to just a white page.

I assume you need to have GD1, GD2 or Imagemagick to use this ?

Very strange .........

Everything uploaded fine. However, when I try to upload an image the screen goes blank. No biggie, I'll just load the new "vbimagehost.php" file. So I do that and it's the same thing. But, when I hit the back button and then view "my images" it looks like it tried to upload. I see my picture info but the image is just a dead link (red X).

It doesn't seem posible that I missed anything...... there's not much to the install

Any suggestions????

Thanks

^^^^^

Forget it ..... I Fixed it. I missed the step at the end of the "file uploads" which says to create a folder to store the photos in. :cross-eyed:
