Hey there, resident wizards. I have 2 things I'd appreciate help with.

1) Having been away from my board for several years, now upon returning I've been flooded with pictures. Everyone wants to post them at the board but they don't know how. I can't remember. Something with the 'img' button, yeah?

2) Before I left, I had somehow created a 'mugshots' page where there were a bunch of pictures of all the members posted conveniently on one page. I wouldn't even know where to begin now. All I do remember is needing them to email me their pics, then uploading it through FTP, then having to manually type in all the names of the pics (ie no 'browse to' option). It was a royal pain in the backside. Is there no better/easier way? And if not, could you outline the steps for me again?

The stock ubb does not have a feature for your needs. You can try over at UBBDev. There used to be a add on hack. It was called something like uploader or attachment. It would allow users to upload files with their posts.
Try searchin in the classic section for it. There were a few hacks for this over the years.

Of course threads has this built in now.

Unless you installed one of the upload hacks. You probably used your option 2.
Members sent you the file. You uploaded them. Then posted a link to the file. There was never a stock option to to that with classic.
I don't recall that feature to be available even with the avatars then.

In the classic section, I see lots of mods for "6.7 [beta]"...will those work on mine (6.7.1)?

Right, but how did I get all those pics onto one page? Did I do it through the control panel? Is there some kind of framework for that?

Possibly. Most of the beta stuff had some issues, if you read the replies to them. But also a lot of them worked fine the first try.
So they might still be listed as beta because everyone moved on to threads. Or they never fixed the issue because they moved on to threads. The only way to know is to install one and see.

I would strongly suggest you try them on a test forum first.

Maybe Allen will visit this post and make a suggestion if he recalls what hack was the most bug free.

I don't have a clue how you did it.
If you placed them all on one page, you probably just made a html page with all the pictures. Or you used some type of software or site to link to. All I can say is there was never a feature like that at all in classic. It did not even have the gallery feature.

Okay just had a brain fart. There was a photo album hack at one time for classic and it worked quite well.
I will have to mull on it a bit. I recall the person was in canada. Something like Bill Bobbit.

Okay I found the post and it looks like the hack may still be there.
His name was Mike Bobbit and you can visit one of his posts at UBBDev
HERE
I used this for quite some time and it worked very well but it is a little complicated to get up and running as I recall.

I never used any hacks or mods...strange. I must've been a helluva lot patience when I was in my 20s'. wink

Yes I found what you mentioned, it seems to be an ideal candidate for something like this. Here's the link to the thread:

http://www.ubbdev.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/199367/5.html

Only thing is, having read the whole thread, I haven't a clue what anybody's talking about. How the heck do I install it?
