Does this look correct? Do I have too many commas or am I missing one?

This is a section of INIT.PHP file

'canviewownusernotes' => 8192,
'canmanageothersusernotes' => 16384,
'canpostownusernotes' => 32768,
'canpostothersusernotes' => 65536,
'caneditownusernotes' => 131072,
// START VBGARAGE HACK
'canvbgarage' => 262144
// END VBGARAGE HACK
'canseehiddencustomfields' => 262144,

When I upload this file my forum crashes. I followed all the steps but this one I am a little confused on. When I upload my previous INIT.PHP file the site runs fine. In fact, you even see the vBGarage link at the top of the site and it works. Also, I don't see vbgarage listed in my Usergroup manager I don't see vbgarage listed so I can't enable it. Once again this just might be because I messed up my INIT.PHP file.

It needs to look like this

PHP Code:


        'canviewownusernotes'       => 8192,
    'canmanageothersusernotes' => 16384,
    'canpostownusernotes'      => 32768,
    'canpostothersusernotes'   => 65536,
    'caneditownusernotes'      => 131072,
    'canvbgarage'              => 262144,
    'canseehiddencustomfields' => 524288, 


or like this

PHP Code:

                'canviewownusernotes'       => 8192,
    'canmanageothersusernotes' => 16384,
    'canpostownusernotes'      => 32768,
    'canpostothersusernotes'   => 65536,
    'caneditownusernotes'      => 131072,
    // START VBGARAGE HACK
    'canvbgarage'              => 262144,
    // END VBGARAGE HACK
    'canseehiddencustomfields' => 524288,

my vbimages table is 12.5 mb. i only have 9 cars in my garage.. thats huge, if the table was only storing thumbnails it wouldn't be over 5mb.

any help or suggestions?

That is a nice logo

If the images are stored in a directory, you can disable hotlinking using .htaccess I believe.

That's cos your users have uploaded huge images ( you can limit the max file size ).
Over time this bloats up the DB, i personally think this is more suitable storing images in a file system. I will work on it on my system and try to push out something on a generic level. No promises though.

cinq your a god!
that'd be great if you can even attempt it!

Check out this hack, you can use html in the tags. Only downside is that it's not user-editable.

I have no clue what .htaccess is or even where i would start on this. My site has soemthing where i can disable hot linking but its only site wide. So idk, im gonna try to do some searching on google.
