This user is not Indian but from Chile. This Gallery has been just installed and it's not the real aim of him get help for this Gallery but for this one: http://osoentrete.100webspace.net/index.php

But, he edited the style of the theme to makes Copyright link white despite of the white backgruond. Then he also edited the Copyright link from Avalanche theme and was pointed to his hosting company. BTW, the instalation was made by an autoinstaller.

So, if you help this guy, you're actually helping him for the other gallery, an 'ilegal' copy of Coppermine.

"xuanker" is from Indian (according to his info). Despite that he has an ".es" email (Spain), and his IP cames from Chile, same as other guy (him!). The format of the topic is just the same, the words are just the same, the subject is the same, and the capture is the same.

Instead of put the links back, he create annother user and ask for help with a fresh new gallery.

Reference: http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,61020.0.html (despite is in Spanish, take a look at the format of the post and capture please, and if you know Spanish, says the same!)

Fabri,

That's a pity, as I had already typed the answer (including find/replace instructions) - when I tried to submit it I was warned by the forum that you had posted, so I ready your reply first and decided not to post my solution, as I'm not fond of users playing games.
You're right in your observation, the user xuanker seems to be identical to alex_noches, who posted an identical request [Inválido:] Modificar Codigo Fuente?? on the Spanish sub-board. It seems that the guy tried his best to undo the damage done (the "Powered by Coppermine" tag is back and in place on the gallery he originally posted about), but he did it all wrong again: he could have said "sorry" using his orginal account and would have gotten help instead of hiding behind another identity. Signing up with several accounts and committing this sort of "identity fraud" is not allowed as the supporters here are not fond of being lied at. I'm banning the second account, trying to force him back to using the original account. The question is unique, so there's little sense in signing up with yet another account and trying to post that question again. Let's see what "Alex Noches" has got to say as a reply to this thread.

P.S. @Fabricio: good work!

Apparently the bloke has given up. As I had saved my answer, I'll post in anyway for others with similar issues. This posting explains how to replace the input fields on the upload page with textareas that allow larger texts to be entered.
From the back of my head (haven't actually tried), edit upload.php, find

        if(!empty($CONFIG['user_field1_name'])) {
            $form_array[] = array($CONFIG['user_field1_name'], 'user1', 0, 255, 1);
        }

        if(!empty($CONFIG['user_field2_name'])) {
            $form_array[] = array($CONFIG['user_field2_name'], 'user2', 0, 255, 1);

            $form_array[] = array($CONFIG['user_field4_name'], 'user4', 0, 255, 1);
