Not really a question, but....
I was searching for something related to my website, and google returned this website called:
http://www.y-bug.com/
It has tons of coppermine galleries listed for this guys php programs to automatically spam >:(
And you are working with cpg 1.3.5. apparently. Did you upgrade to 1.4.10 and forgot to change that in your message ?
@gtk: thanks for reporting the page that offers a script to spam coppermine. However, there's little we could do to stop this guy from offering his "services". Of course, he's a moron and one of the most hated persons on the internet.
We recommend to disallow anonymous (guest) comments and/or to use the captcha plugin. In future versions, there will be additional functions that offer anti-spamming mechanisms.
As suggested in the readme file on the y-bug page, coppermine doesn't use trackback mechanisms that are currently being used in most blog scripts, so this might be a thing that should be looked into by coppermine devs to integrate into future coppermine versions.
Hein, yes I'm running cpg1410.. For some reason I cant update my sig.
GauGau.. I do not have too much trouble with spam.. I was just posting out of aggravation that this idiot had my website and others listed for his automated spam crud.
I think I will take his email address and sign him up to every mailing list possible :P
how'd you see the list of cpg sites??? i opened his page, and only got a parent directory ... until i installed the captcha plugin, i got heaps of comment spam!

The site gtk has reported is a hacker site. You don't need to review it as a non-hacker (i.e. if you're just a concerned coppermine user who wants to protect himself against spam). Yes, it just displays a list of files - people who know their way around can find the proper file and review it. I'm not going to post instructions how to use this black hat hacker site. As suggested: you don't need to review it.

We disabled to option to edit the sig because it has been abused. I'll edit out your sig accordingly.
