it looks great so far, thanks

It would be nicer if the thumbnails would have maintain the right width/height ratio.

Another idea:
* option in admincp to set 'private/public' default per usergroup.
* Link to person's uploaded files
* prevent hotlink outside messageboard
* 'copy' button next to the imagelink (so no select -> rightbutton -> copy)
* show thumb + link right after uploading

I love this hack, and I have installed it on my testing forum...and it works flawlessly. But before I install it on my main forum, I have only one question:

Is there a way to allow users to upload more than one pic at a time? Like as many as 5 or even 10 at a time?

When I install this on my real forum I will happily click install!

Cool, Thanks.

great hack, one suggestion though or maybe you can tell me how to this.

It would be nice to be able to limit the amount of space a usergroup can use (say Registered members get 10MB & Admins 50MB), rather then just the number of images they can upload.

This is how I see it could work out with this.

- Members can upload images
- There is some link to all this person's images
- Create thumbnails of these images
- Be able to take some of these thumbnails (ex:5) and put them in a table which will then be able to put in the memberinfo template

If you still have any questions on the features, just ask me, I know that the three are almost or already done...

will your next update include this?
