  I'm going nuts trying to finish this website. The last couple things holding me up are all module related. First of all, EZforumComments has a display issue. It won't display any forum images except the user avatar or use any of the CSS styles. Basically it just shows an ugly table, text, no links to reply or quote and the red x'd images. I've come to find out that there is a problem with filepaths, but I don't know where to set the new filepaths at. I went through all the files in the EZforumComments directory, re-read their directions- EVERYTHING! I don't know where to look.
  
  Secondly, this is a website for a band. I need to have an image gallery that is easy to navigate and allows user uploads. I've tried three different modules, none of them worked. I tried Mediashare, PhotoShare, and My eGallery. I've looked into problems within the php.ini file, whereas that the gd extension would be turned off. At first I thought that was my problem, but even after turning it on, I still have issues. When me or my friend helping out try to upload images we either get:
  
  A) Blank Page after uploading, then no files are uploaded by some unrecognizable file(s) are in the temp folder.
  B) Filetype Not Supported Error
  
  WTF?
  
  Lastly, the PNphpBB forum is a pain to configure. The styles are split up between the CSS page that the forum should use and the CSS page that my custom PN theme uses. I can't figure this out. I tried going through my CSS files to see if I can find a problem, but no luck. Even if I try to edit the CSS file for my PN theme, it screws up the entire display of the website when I try to use it. So, I'm stuck using some styles I dont want for my PN theme or my forum.
  
  The last of my problems isn't related to 3rd party modules, so I'll stop there.
  
  (sigh)

  for forums: try pnForum, it look nice.
  
  for enable gd2 extensions: you have to remove the ; before of extension=php_gd2.dll line (or whatever)
  and relaunch web server.
  
  filetypes are apache controlled by AddType/AddEncoding Directives

  already tried that
  
  
  I wanted to use PNphpBB because I'm experienced with phpBB and I figured it would be easier to customize it.

  Ok, I fixed almost everything, including the crap with the forum and EZComments crap. The last thing is My eGallery, and I still get the same error: You can't post this file: Filetype not supported
  
  (sigh) I'm so close to finishing, I want to bash my head into a wall trying to fix this problem.
  
  So far:
  
  -Made the proper change in my php.ini file and restarted the server (x3 times)
  
  -Checked all paths and permissions in my ftp app and in the eGallery module admin (x234234 times!)
  
  -Contacted support for the people that setup the server (x3 times, they can't offer any other help)
  
  -Tried using another module other than eGallery (x3, I tried: Mediashare, photoshare and some other one). eGallery is the only one I get the filetype error on. With the others, nothing showed up. I mean nothing showed up as in I would get a Blank Page after clicking the submit button to upload and there would be no files in my uploads folder or temp folder.

  Hmmm.... outside of my area of knowledge. I'll see what I can do though.

  I am sure this something every OS-programmer likes to hear about his unpaid work being done in his spare time (no, I am not related to pnphpbb and EZComments).
  
  BTW, once you talk about EZForumComments and then you talk about EZComments, these are two different modules. What exactly do you mean?

  You misunderstood that, I wasn't pointing a finger at the programmers of EZForumcomments & PNphpBB trying to insult them for their work and effort in their products. When I said that I was referring to the troubles I was having getting everything to work. Forgive me, I'm still at newb status with building PN sites and digging into PHP code. I'm way below the knowledge level of the creators of these modules, and don't get me wrong, I greatly appreciate the modules and plugins people create out there and provide to everyone. We all get frustrated running into hold-ups like this, and I didn't mean to make it sound like PNphpBB & EZForumComments are bad products.
  
  With that said, I couldn't figure out how to fix the issue I was having with the EZForumComments module that works with PNphpBB, so I dumped it in favor of the stock PN comments module. It wasn't that important of a feature to have, but it would have been nice. Hopefully in the future, I'll be able to figure out why it wouldn't work on my site so I can integrate it in with the forums.
  
  Also, EZComments & EZForumComments were meant as the same thing. Sorry, late nights on the computer been meltin' my brain.
