Photo Album!

[schussey]

I've just noticed that the photo album is gone, and I miss it! Anybody else want it back?

Yes, in fact I thought vbulletin allowed us to post pics. True? Do they have to hosted elsewhere and inserted via html?

[schussey]

i'm pretty sure they have to be hosted on another site

I've been trying to get a garage addon to work that includes a photo album to no available. I'll see about another addon shortly.

thanks steven :)

- do you personally like vBulletin better than the old layout?

[1996 328ti]

I like the look of vBulletin. You have a lot of contol over its features.
I like the phpBB community much better. There are a ton of cool addons and mods.

I want to make this site sucessful and I think it will take vBulletin to do it.
Already taffic is up.

I've just purchased some photo gallery software.

I will probably add some more google ads to start covering some of the costs.
The google ads at the bottom bring in a little.
I've moved the site to a new server. A more expensive server. :(

why not use individual photo albums like http://photobucket.com and just link to the pics just a thought.

heres one of mine after ive just fitted angel eyes

and another after a few hours detailing

and you could use a sticky labeled photo album and it might save a lot of space being as they arent hosted on the site..

just a thought..

[schussey]

i'll shell out some money if you need.....

[1996 328ti]

Thanks. Several people have said the same thing. We'll see. SO far I can handle the expense.

[schussey]

just let me know :)

[schussey]

another thing, what about avatars?

[1996 328ti]

Photo gallery has been installed. Have patience if there are some problems.
Avatars? You can upload your own. Would you like to choose from a collection?

[robcarync]

well...the avatars arent displayed below your name on each post...you have to click on a persons profile to see it! thats kinda lame but im not complaining though...its a relatively unimportant aspect of this community.

[1996 328ti]

You had display avatars turned off. I turned it on.
You can go to your User CP and choose edit options.
Display signatures and images is also turned off.

[robcarync]

oh hey hey...haha sorry im still getting used to this vbulletin deal...i hadnt changed anything though so i guess it was set to off on default?

[schussey]

in my user CP, there is no option to let me upload a avatar.....

[1996 328ti]

oh hey hey...haha sorry im still getting used to this vbulletin deal...i hadnt changed anything though so i guess it was set to off on default?
I just checked, it is ON by default. I have most things ON.
Although I did just change a setting so new people must verify their email address.

[robcarync]

how odd. well hey thanks for pointing that out to me. i dont remember turning it off though...i cant imagine why i would have done that?

[1996 328ti]

in my user CP, there is no option to let me upload a avatar..... You don't have something that looks like this?

[schussey]

nope- just the portion that says "Your Current Avatar." The "Do not use an avatar" is always clicked, and will not allow me to deselect it.

- it's really strange

The angle eyes rock- were they a pain to install? do you put them in the stock housing.. or is it an all new housing. I have a set of the projector lights for a7 series i guess- but the housing broke and BMW wont sell me just the housing.

simo2k - your car looks great!
