Wrong number of recent ads

[hype901]

I have my recent ads set for 4 column, 8 total ads. When I allow ads with no pictures to be displayed, I see 8 total ads displayed. When I have ads with no pictures prohibited from being displayed in the recent ads, I'll get anywhere from 3 to 7 ads shown instead of the 8 most recent with pictures. What is wrong with my installation (2.6.1)?

Nothing is wrong with your application. For speed reasons we only query a set amount of photos so for instance if you want 8 photos we may return 18 results and then based on your settings if you want ads with pics or not you get the results returned so if most of your recent ads have no photos then the amount viewable will change.

Where is the variable used to make that query? I'd like to bump the number it queries over the variable of 8 I set to ensure there are enough "cached" for its use so to speak. Please advise.

display_gallery function in pp-inc.php you will see the grabnum variable and where we add more photos on.
