loloz ;-) now that makes sense.. !

If your old version of Tidypics was extremely outdated, there should be an upgrade link on the Tidypics Administration page. If you run the upgrade, your images will come back. Any of the last 2 or 3 Tidypics versions work fine with Elgg 1.7.

oh.... the "upgrade" worked fine (....naturally :D)

sorry for asking that silly question! i should have read the docs that come with it.

and thanks a bunch for this great tool
