Hi all, I am currently running the photogallery from Coppermine, but I am not satisfied with it. I would like to make a switch to Gallery3, but before I do, I'd like to know if: 1) it's possible for my users to register for Gallery3 and upload their own pictures in predetermined albums? 2) it's possible to restrict the number of uploaded pictures per user? 3) there's a solid working captcha to avoid Russian and Chinese spammers to register? 4) there's a way to import my current Coppermine database so I won't lose any pictures from my current gallery? 5) it's advisable to install Gallery3 or should I start with Gallery2 to be safe? I hope to get a little help. Thanks in advance. Regards, |

1. yes if you set permissions for those users in specific albums. There is a registration module and a userhome module. Dave |

Hi FloriDave, Thanks for your answer. According to your response I guess I am better off downloading and installing Gallery2 than Gallery3, until Gallery3 is out of the beta stage. Good to hear that my current Coppermine database isn't doomed Thanks again. Regards, |

About 98% of the spammers I get on my Coppermine gallery is either from .ru or .cn. Of course I didn't mean to discriminate in any way: spammers from all countries are not welcome on my website, but that's a given |
