I thought this board was offering help to newbies with galleries. If someone if going to spend time answering this having a go at me for doing something wrong then locking this thread then I'd at least appreciate an actual answer to my query before you do so.
I know about setting permissions for my users to be allowed to leave comments. I have the settings under groups allowing rating and comments. I have looked in user mode and I have also set myself up an account as a non-admin so i can view my gallery as my members would but I still can't find where to leave comments. I looked at the demo coppermine gallery to try and find an icon or a link to leave a comment on an image but it is the same icons as mine.
This isn't about reading literature as I have read everything about comments I also searched this forum before posting) but I still can't find how to leave comments. It was said here
http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,57829.0/ that the coppermine demo gallery doesn't have all the features that a full coppermine has. If this applies to comments why are there comments on photos and why does it say in the FAQ that in order to leave a comment you just click on a thumb, scroll down and leave a comment?
Leaving a comment or rating a photo may be real easy for you and you may think I am thick, haven't looked, am lazy or taking the mickey but for me who has only just installed a coppermine gallery for the first time it is not intuitive and I really can't find how to do it. I click on the little speech bubble icon to hope to leave a comment and that reports the image to admin. The little envelope is to send it as an ecard. I can't see anymore icons. There's no "leave a comment" link underneath the photo where the comments go so I don't know how to leave a comment. Maybe I have got a setting wrong or done something wrong and someone can help? Maybe someone can describe or point me towards a piece of literature that says explicitly how to leave a comment (where exactly to click)?
