troll alert!
Although Saubloed (nomen es omen? for non-german speaking users: "saubloed"="thick as a brick") is right on some of his issues I'll have to make some statements, only to solve some misunderstandings:
its by default an open relay because anonymous user can send emails
we seem to have different definitions on the term "open relay"...
emails dont contain non-fakeable information like sender IP
I consider this as a feature request
passwords are stored in database as clear text
you're right on this - we're working on it...
dont work with safe_mode
not true, safe mode works fine; even with servers where safe mode is not configured properly you can use silly_safe_mode-settings
files in zip archives will never have the correct file permissions by default
true, but usually windows users (the majority of our users) will unzip it on their client using winzip or similar, so the advantages of a tarball will be gone. We released our files in a hurry (the original site chezgreg.net had gone down, so we didn't pack up everything as tarball).
AFAIK old versions with security hole are still downloadable and its only hidden noted in FAQ (!?!)
afaik the known security holes that have been an issue with cpg1.0 have been fixed in the files that are available for download
FAQ is only readalbe with javascript and the gallery contain also some not-nessessary Javascript that dont work with all browsers
true, the faq need a re-work
...they only use Javascript for things that are not important
so does coppermine - the slideshow and the full-size pop-up aren't esential for coppermine to work
The cracy programmers of this gallery should put the root passwort at every webpage - would be the same effekt. LOL
your posting has been OK untill this remark - I won't take the effort to check wether you provided a valid email address on registration - you surely didn't. :roll:
