thanks for the suggestion - there must have been something wrong with my GD install or path, I switched the preference to ImageMagick and it now works.
Now I need to figure out the watermark feature - I'd like to put my cavsworld logo in the corner of downloaded images. People use them for their desktop wallpaper, so I should get some advertising on them.
since I moved it, I can no longer add images to an album. I ftp's a folder of images like I always do, but when I got to batch add them, instead of getting thumbnails, I get a image not found question mark graphic.
I solved it - somehow in the upgrade process, my html got changed where all single quote characters were replaced with \' and that caused the scripts to not work. My guess is the way they are stored/retrieved was changed.
I upgraded from XOOPS 2.0.x to 2.2.x and everything went fairly smoothly except custom blocks that I created that are html blocks don't display anything.
