Hi!
I need to configure the galery to permit all users (guests included) to make all the votes that they want to do in the same PC. I know that is back mode that usually but just I need.
Can it do?

Thanks

Sorry.. couldn't make anything of what you posted. Could you rephrase your question ?

Just for clarification:
Guest votes are being stored locally in a cookie. This way, Coppermine determines wether a guest has already voted on a pic or not. If there are several different people who use one and the same PC and local login, then they simply can not vote twice. Only way to circumvent this except the solution that Nibbler suggested which involves hacking core files is to use a third party software that deletes local cookies after a short given period or when the browser closes. As suggested, this is not recommended, as it subsequently won't keep visitors from voting for one pic several times.
You have to understand that this is a matter of client setup and not how coppermine works. What you're up to doesn't seem a good idea to me.
