You meantioned that you were going to port this hack to 3.6? Does it require a port or can this current version run fine on 3.6?

well in order to upgrade you'll need to have 1.4.1 installed
that way you can uninstall the hack without losing the date
then you can install ver 1.0

there is no much diffrence you can actully use 1.4.1 to install it on ver 3.6.0 you'll just need to redo the thumbnails

Im confused... why would I install 1.4.1 and then install an older version, 1.0?

I haven't installed this hack yet, I am waiting for your 3.6 port of it. Once you release the port tomorrow, I will be sure to be the first one to install it on my 3.6 test forum !

PM me when you release the 3.6 port, thanks!

i'm talking about the people who upgraded from 3.5.x with vbimghost intsalled and moved to 3.6.0

[toolblast]

Alright sure

Ya, I just did a fresh 3.6 install... no 3.5


btw.. in my last post I meant '3.6' not '2.6' lol.

[Blindchild02]

hm.... any idea how to have the quality be perfect after an upload? it seems to get a bit grainy, i have the quality set to 100

I personally did a fresh install on 3.6 (since I uninstalled every hack before upgrading), everything seems to work except for viewing public user images which isn't a big problem for me since 99% of my user's pictures are set to private to post in threads. Though pictures are still viewable through the admincp.

I use this as an alternative to other photo hosting sites.

Also as a second note I am working on code right now to give to Ranma2k to allow the uploader to choose between two watermarks (light vs. dark) based on the picture at the request of my members.

Turn off resizing completely and see if the picture is still grainy, depending on the reduction %, that could cause distortion.

[Blindchild02]

resizing is off
