I assume this is a dead mod? I hate I have 300 people using it and now I have to find something else.

All I need is the last five images uploaded on my main page.

[CP,]

is this method safe as people can actually upload img/ .jpg viruses..

[neologan]

this is a good mod but i like many want to use this as an alternative to image shack - ie something similar but on my own domain.

Users being allowed to set private/public and to delete their images causes problems as they might use images in a post and then delete the image, not very good.

So in other words, can we not have the option to make all images public with no option to put them private, and also an opton to turn off the ability to delete them.

Other than that this is very cool.

Okay.. I'm with the next situation...
First of all, I've got to tell that I'm on a IIS Server as with Safe mode enable on PHP.
Second of all, Uploading works, yet, if I fix the paths it should do the trick to do everything!
Third of all, all links are incorrect according the setup.

Reason:
In options, i've got to set the full windows path on the line "Image path" and then I'm succesfully uploading the image. The downside is, that the links are compleetly incorrect since it shows the entire regular path with included that set windows path.
IF then, I change the Image path to the basic path I can see the images but I cant add images!

So how could this be fixed so that I dont need to alter the image path in order to upload/show images on this IIS server? Because that option is the thing which's denying me of using the vB Image Hosting.

Using the quick uplaod and gallaries box in new thread/reply allows users to circumvent the number of images allowed restriction. Anyway to get that fixed?

Thanks for a great hack!

Security fix 1.4.2 release

Please all who installed it must update

[nicolerork]

When displaying the most recently uploaded images in the user's profile, is there anyway to change the default number to 3 instead of 5?

When I changed this $vbimghost[last5] to this, $vbimghost[last3], the gallery images don't show up in the profile anymore.

Also, how can I make the default uploading permission public instead of private? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
