PROBLEM = I have lost the comments function and don't know why? I have comments enabled everywhere and have search thru the php's - but don't know where to start to look. I'm generally pretty good with these things - so if you could point me in the right direction, that would be great.
you allow comments on the groups page (users can/can't post comments). Then there's an individual switch for each album (check album "properties") - only if comments are enabled there and the users are allowed to post comments in general (depending on your groups page settings), comments will work. For details, post a link to your page and a non-admin test user account with comment privileges.
SOLVED:
thanks so much for your help, I was dumb... :-\ . The way I setup my gallery there is no main page or Index.php to return to... I send everyone (including the admins back to my INDEX.HTM) thus, I couldn't get to the album properties without using my direct URL to get there. Creates a bit of a problem when you work in several different directions at once, as I do. Thanks again, "K"
