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

are you sure you uploaded the correct file in the admincp

in the zip file there is 2 files called vbimghost.php

one in the forum\admincp folder
and one in the forum folder

each have it's own function you must upload the one in the admincp to your admincp directory and the one in the forum in your forum root directory

installed. Great mod.

Is there a way to link this with subscriptions. LIke have registered users have to donation an ammount and then when they do that they get auto permissions to upload a certain ammount of images?

I wanted 2$ donation for registered users per 5 images to cover transfer costs which seems reasonable.

I do something like what you want to do, what I did is made usergroups.

Example:
Pictures25 (allowed 25 pictures)
Pictures50
Pictures100

Then made corresponding subscriptions that when subscribed to they are made members of those groups since this product's permissions (upload slots, max images) are set in usergroups.

that's weird
did you set vbimghost options
and also did you set the permission for each user group

if that didn't work reimport the xml again allowing to overwrite the old setting

if still you don't have a luck PM me with access to the boards and i'll take a look

there is something wrong with your GD library ?
did the system administrator change anything

my advice is to contact your Host and ask what was changed for GD support in php
