How is the multiple garage part coming on

The image quality is much better now! Excellent!

[spence2]

Will members garage list, multiple entries and multiple comments be paginated?

With admin restrictions as to how many of each are shown per page?

Are they perhaps, already?

I need help with teh GD stuff ... pictures not working. The other GD stuff works (verficiation images works)

Please help, I'm retarted about some of this linux stuff

You need GD 2.0 with this hack.

Right click on one of the red X's, then click properties. Type in the URL that it is looking for and click enter. Let me know what comes up.

Acctually there is no red "X" it seems to upload then doesnt display anything. Its a little frusturating.

so, how about changing the usergallery`s as an admin? and next question: how about uploading the pictures into a directory on my server, not into the db!?

I'm not an expert and can only go on problems that I've had in the past. Your best bet is to wait for Magnus. Sorry I couldn't be more of a help. :ermm:

Garage List is already paginated. I'll tackle the rest when I come to them.

Upgrade to 3.1.1, it has admin editing capabilities. As stated before, I have no intention of storing images as files. This entire script revolves around SQL, changing it would mean re-writing the basic structure.

What would I need to do to take out all thumbnailing but keep the latest features you have added?

How hard would it be to add support to earlier versions of GD-Lib?

I am doubting the host will upgrade, & the current version is thumbnailling posting image attachments ok.

I could do with the following information too, Magnus.
