that was muscle. ill go diggin to change mine now. shouldnt take me more then all day LOLOL (im still new at this but learning)

Somthing else to mention......... in your coding it refers to call

<a href="/vbulletin/profile.php?do=edittimeslip">Vehcile Profile</a

when making this coding change pay attention to where your Vbulletin is -- if its in a "forums" directory, you'll have to change the vbulletin part that I bolded.

Ok, im an idiot - cant find the post about changing the img tag --- Help??

Also -- how can I pull the "Photos" title bar out? It just doesnt look right to me... Maybe I have something wrong (see screenshot)

Joey, dude you need to read a little more closely.

In reference to the IMG tag:

You must have missed this clear instruction:

Now, I'm not yelling at anybody, I am just REMINDING people to READ before posting or asking questions that have been answered already, or posting corrections to things that have already been correctly outlined. That will save you a lot of headaches.

You will find that in your "vbgarage_viewgarage" template.

I'm still a novice at this.. so lemme get this right... this won't work with GD 1.6 / 1.8 but will work with 2.0+?

[SVTOA]

If can't use GD, enable the IMG tag and alter the display templates to omit the upload feature...

[joeychgo]

EEEK!!!!!!

Ok, I dont really know what this means but I just installed Erwins Microstats hack and my Garage Page shows this:

Page generated in 0.13469 seconds with 36 queries (3 queries for uncached templates) [Server Loads: 1.70 1.49 : 1.42]

Is this bad??????

I'm having the same problem still and I've decided to give up until the next release, which will remove this problem.

ok well while people are waiting for 3.2 maybe can we discuss the impact of storing all these images in the DB. is this a concern?? is the size of the DB going to be greatly affected by this and will it hurt mysql performance...i really love this hack and i have played with it quite a bit already but this is something i am worried about.

although i read through 746 posts and didnt see any problems.

vBulletin attachments are stored in the DB, are they not? I don't see a problem.

On that note, I've been brainstorming alot in these past days w/o a PC.. I've got alot of notes, so once I get my PC back up and running, you all should be pleasantly suprised.

Sounds very good, Magnus.
