Can anyone research vBulletin and php and help me see why the album abd downloads thumbnails stopped working since the server migration? I know there are lots of people here smarter than me... help! :yep:

Hi Neal,

Without denying your statement about us being smarter then you :smug: a question back:

Haven't you dropped this question at the vBulltin support site (http://www.vbulletin.com/support.php) or the user forum (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/) of vBulletin?

Those guys may be even smarter then all of us here :yep:

:damn:vBulletin does not offer much support, and their forums are very unhelpful. Most of the questions are unanswered. I still am waiting for a reply to my problem with thread ratings.

And then there is the typical idiot who posts "I am having this issue, it is doing this and this,,,,," and then a week later returns to post "Ok, I found the solution" but then they don't share it :x

I found a tip that my php compile may be missing the GD library, I am working on learning how to add that.

I just assumed it was a change made to ease the burden on the system. Is it too late to complain that they're missing? :O:

That's not good.
I would gladly help, but I don't know that much of PHP and linux (I need to learn it though, but keep postponing it :oops:).
I'm MCSE certified, but that doesn't help you right now.

Do you have a test system setup, where you can safely try things out?

:D

Actually, if I'm going to lodge a complaint I should probably start another thread for it.

:hmmm:

Or maybe a poll!

I'm working on it. Found some info on adding the library (http://static.nyphp.org/talks/gd-Library-PHP-Image-Manipulation.pdf), but there's some kind of "exclusion" in the php.ini file, and I really have no idea what to do about it. I don't want to BREAK it. So, I am looking into a php guru, if he will ever answer my email....
