Tonight I just noticed a bug in the vBGarage functionality. Normally users wouldn't have noticed anything, thinking that the functionality of vBGarage was normal. CaliberSRT4.net Forums was running a version of vBGarage that included a feature called Lightbox. Lightbox is a feature where when clicking on a thumbnail within a member's gallery, a JavaScript based pop up would be created in your current window which would darken the background of the site and show the image in the middle. Also there would be tabs that would allow you to cycle through to the next and previous pictures in that particular gallery.

Well this function was not working properly and instead when clicking on a thumbnail you would be directed to the image in the current window. I figured out that the reason behind this bug is because I have also installed a plugin to vBGarage that shows the Latest Member Galleries within the homepage and forum homepage. This plugin was not compatible with vBGarage with Lightbox. To make a long story short, I've uninstalled the vBGarage version with Lightbox and installed the original vBGarage system, which creates a pop up of the image in a new window when clicking on a thumbnail within a member's gallery.

The sad part is that with doing this fix, all current member photos and galleries were lost (which was unavoidable). So I invite everyone to reupload their galleries. Sorry!


Although vBGarage is a great system, I do plan on upgrading the gallery system to a more robust and fun system called PhotoPost, which costs a whooping $120 for the license to the plugin. So for now CaliberSRT4.net Forums will continue to run vBGarage, which is free, until I raise enough ad revenue to purchase PhotoPost.
