But anyways it looks like you guys found it
I didnt reinstall. I just took out the template code out of the install script and added it in. Thats how I got it to work again

Kids are most important, got a few of them running around here. No problem bro.
I don't think that would have mattered in my case- if you read the info Magnus supplied, my copy of vbgarage.php needed updating and so did the template code, I must have had an older version of the ZIP file. It's all good now.

Don't want to hijack this thread or be out of line- just want to say I was lurking on your site and was in awe of the amount of traffic! Nice job man...!
sorry all, back to the topic!

Is there any chance to upload the users file not into the database. I want that these files get into an own directory on my server. Does the GD-Lib function would work anyway?

Take a look at page three and four, I believe, not sure, that the problem is addressed on those pages.

Sorry, but no. This is exclusively written around SQL. You'd have to more or less rewrite the entire hack.

You've accidentally misedited a file. See page 2 and page 3. One other person had this problem, and figured out what he edited incorrectly.

Your hack & support are of the highest quality. I installed your hack in the early hours of Sunday, running into much the same problems as dede1 in the first few pages. I believe my host's mysql database is rather ancient but is offered free due to the common interest in French cars.

It's taken me 3 days of interupted sittings to get through the 24 pages this thread has turned into.

I also bookmarked significant updates along this thread:

Post 82 gave new files & instructions on upgrading from v3.0 -> v3.0.1
Post 188 gave new files & instructions on upgrading from v3.0.1 -> v3.1.0
Post 232 Adds "Who's Online" Locations

I'm going to upgrade now

Thanks for the donation! I'm glad to see you've got it working. If you run into any additional problems, don't hesitate to post them here. I (rather, we) will help however we can.

Also, most important posts are already linked in the first post.
