I have recoded all the pages in the members rigs section to remove some possible security holes and also to tidy up the code. The main other advantage is that some of the redirects have changed whihc should make it easier to load up your rig and add photos. It follows a more logical path now.
The security holes have been plugged due to now using the cookies generated by Vbulletin when you log onto the site - either through the main frontpage or through the forum. Your user ID or name does now not get shown in the url bar and the script prohibits the running of anything put in the URL bar except the url of the script (should catch any cross site scripting (XSS) attempts at running malitious code).
So in brief the way to add your rig is as follows:
Add your rig (the button will appear on any of the main display pages for the section but only if you are logged in). You add the rig by filling out the form and clicking submit. Once it is submitted OK then you will be taken to the edit your rig page which will show any text description and the category of vehicle you have entered.
Once at the Edit your rig page you can click "add picture" which will take you to another form where you can upload a picture from your PC. The short description box is for text that will show when someone hovers over the thumbnail picture with the cursor (clicking the thumbnail opens the full picture).
You can add as many pictures as you like.
From any of the view screens for the members rigs section, you can click edit my rig which will take you back to the edit your rig screen.
The edit screen also gives the option to edit the text, add more pictures or delete pictures. You can also delete your whole rig - PLEASE DELETE THE PICTURES FIRST - this will not automatically delete the pictures, they just won't show any more and will take up disk space for no value.
Hope this all proves a bit more reliable. Any problems drop me a PM.
