Default Garage image in search results?

I have my Garage Plus set to require an image before it's displayed which is working as expected. However, if you search for example, All Garages, there are some that have no image but still show up in search results. It makes the results look awkward. I'm not sure why this is happening. Is something broken? Or do I have some option set incorrectly?

Example: TrueStreetCars.com - Garages

Thanks in advance for any help!

What you are seeing isn't related to the required image setting. What is happening is that the garages are missing the actual image that is associated with the garage. This could be due to several things such as people trying to upload absurdly large image files and the thumbnail generation failing, etc. Regardless of the circumstances I would recommend editing the user's garage using IE or Safari so you can click on the missing image and then select delete. This will remove the database entry and it will be recognized as not having a real image and therefore not show it in the displays.

Thanks!

Mark

Unfortunately some of the vehicles don't have an image that is clickable in the garage itself so there is no way to delete the image. Aside from deleting and recreating the whole vehicle, how can I delete that non-existent image? See screenshot:

If you use a browser like Safari or IE it should show a broken image icon where the image would normal be located. Clicking on that (when editing the garage) should allow you to delete it.

If you want to configure Firefox to do something similar check out this thread that describes how to set it up.

Thanks!
