I don't think that would work to well, if anyone made a mistake in the junior admin the new members would get the powers. Your better off not using it at all than giving the rights to all members. Plus you would need to have a large amount of admin's in the security pannel.

don't know I haven't had anyone report that issue, just getting them so they past CAPTCHA. I'm sure if there is a problem with that someone will post back.

I had this problem too. Go into "general admin" then "CAPTCHA Config" then you have to tweak the captcha grapic and fonts to make it easer to read/get right.
At first it was even keeping my members from joining.

I think the first part should look more like this, define('CT_SECLEVEL', 'LOW');$ct_ignorepvar = array('helpbox','delete','deleteall','phpBBSecurity_question','user_interests','user_realname');$ct_ignoregvar = array(''); Having the "$ct_ignorepvar =" "blank&quo...

I set it to NOT use the FTP, attach image (with inline and use of thumb), it creates the thumb in "files/thumbs"

Do you know witch file handles this? if we compare how it's handling the thumbs to the ftp version we should see whats happening?

"they do work tru http?"

I was meaning the thumbs, If they resize right. sorry for confusion. <img>

Kind of thinking same as you, compare the http handling with the ftp handling and hope for a clue.

Ok looking good, and you seem to have all the data.

After I failed a few times, I found easer for me if i updated the php version next.
Buy going 1 step at a time it was just easer for me to trace any mistakes I made.
So check if your @ 2.0.22 I think thats the latest you can upgrade from.

they do work tru http?

So maybe you can compare the 2 handlers and see if something in the way it's dealing the thumbs is different? It could give a hint maybe.

I'll second that! <img>

try replacing:
`phpbb_themes` ,
`phpbb_themes_name` ,
`phpbb_themes_select_info` ,
with the the default as a start but I think you may have to put it all back. I'm not sure what you were trying to do but, the info is in the data base back up and not the files.

Can you set your forum to the default theme? Kind of looks like it may be a unsupported theme issue.

What about the ftp program, any chance it's trying to create a temp file of it's own thats somehow conflicting or does the file finish up loading before this happens?

Have you tried other image types? functions_thumbs.php @ 255 is where it singles out image types with line 261 seting up for jpg files. case IMG_JPG: imagejpeg($new_image, $new_file, 90); looks JPG is the only one that has extra sizing with the "90" at the end. and from line # 208 $new_fil...

Even if you work out the permission problems, are you sure you want to allow this in your forum? what if someone uses it to directly upload a "nasty" url?

upload avatar from a URL into my profile

I think that would only work as a linking to. To put it up you would need to download to your pc then up load the file to the server. There would be permission problems between the 2 sites.
