How do you edit the number of lines of garages displayed on a page?

Anyone else seeing any latency issues with pictures loading in vbgarage?. I only have one garage in there right now and it seems that it goes relatively slow as far as loading the pictures is concerned.

Thanks

That is more than likely to be a server issue, rather than a problem with the hack.

In vbgarage.php:

FIND:

	{
		$perpage = 25;
	}

Replace "25" with the number of garages you wish to display per page.

DONE.

Would it be safe to say that since i have photopost installed and that it works very quickly as far as loading images is concerned, that vbgarage should be able to work just as fast?? Not trying to be mean or anything, just asking a question.

Your server could have been on the receiving end of a load spike at the time, however, if it's happening all of the time, then there may be a problem.

If you could provide me with the URL to the site where you've installed the hack, I'll take a look.

[r6xual]

Yeah, i not trying to complain or anything just wanted to try and figure something out. It is happening all thie time, and the URL for vbgarage on my site it as follows

http://www.gpfanatix.com/forums/vbgarage.php?do=list

Check it out, and see what you think. Maybe i am overreacting?

[Envy-UK]

The images, both thumbnail & real size, appear to load at a sufficient rate.

Don't forget get the size of your real size images are very large, one, for instance, is 599006 bytes.

[r6xual]

Cool, well i resized my images and things seem to be working well. Maybe i am just used to the quickness of photopost. Who knows. Great hack!!

How would I go about letting people list by Year, Model, Username, etc? When is the new upgrade being released?

Also being able to comment on images or having them put underneath instead of the right would be nice.
