Added Features in v3.1.1

• Fixed missing require_once(); call.

Well, here it is, as promised. The only new thing added is the ability for the Admin to edit a user's garage. I didn't feel it was worth an upgrade, but, apparently you guys did. So.. here it is. I tested this on my forum for a bit, and I saw no problems.

As always, let me know if you have any problems!

Remember, if you've made any modifications to your vbgarage.php, you'll need to reapply them!

[SVTOA]

I am in process of upgrading and will let you know how it goes. Funny, I was just answering a post on my forum where a member was raving about this feature.

Am I the only one who thinks Magnus's hack should be "HACK OF THE MONTH"????

[SVTOA]

PERFECT!!!! THANKS MAGNUS!!! Being able to edit as an admin will make it so I can help my members get the most from this feature.

[joeychgo]

Updated, works great!!!!!

What about being able to place the latest uploads on another page? i.e. forums main below the navbar?

[Ian Cunningham]

Looking forward to the next release - multiple garages will be great! You can be sure of a nice donation from me once I get my adsense cheque cashed!

Yup. Working on modulizing that.

Yes, multiple garages will definately be in the next release. Hopefully, it'll be one of the last releases for a while.. I really can't think of much more to add, lol.

Have you found anything relating to the quality of the thumbnails?

I had a look at a few tutorials, but, sad to say, it's all over my head.
