Hi guys,

Been using Coppermine for a few months now - haven't gotten around to really rip it apart to make it more in line with my site's design, but I really like the usability etc. However, I found a few points I think you should consider. There's no way I am going to read up on all previous posts, so please forgive me if I am suggesting dupes.

- Don't autolink URLs in comments (Spam prevention)
- Save the score of a vote (this doesn't seem to be the case when I look at the DB table, which really surprises me - is it hidden somewhere?)
- Save IP with comments and vote (VERY important!)
- Allow commenters to add url/email address to their name
- Don't make voting "buttons" normal links. Someone who will mirror the entire site, or index it, may be "clicking" on all of them

Thanks,
- Nils

Posting more than one request at a time makes it hard to track requests, we have a "one issue per thread" policy for that particular reason...

will be considered

With dynamic IP addresses in use all over the place? What for?

Quote from: NilsJeppe on January 20, 2005, 09:16:33 AM- Allow commenters to add url/email address to their name[/url]Would require changes in db structure, not an option imo. Only allowing registered users to comment seems to be the best workaround imo.
