Its nice to see people thumbs downing an ALPHA version of software with out bothering to say what they didn't like and how to go about making it better. This is the second build of what will likely be a hundred builds before its mature. Before you criticize this useful product, please be prepared to provide code to improve the aspect you don't like, or at least be able to clearly articulate the issue and suggest a solution. There are hundreds of files and 10s of thousands of lines of code, with several different technologies meshed together. Long story short unless you are a developer, or extremely versed in implementing php/mysql, you may want to pass on this for a while. The reason its on sourceforge is so that I may get help now and then on things that are above me. This isn't a windows program with a setup button to make life simple. you have to know how to set up and manage a web server preferably Apache, MySQL database, port forwarding, firewall rules, file and folder access permissions. If you don't then your not going to have a very good experience. In other words, if you have to ask me for help you shouldn't be bothering at this time. Additionally, this is not meant to be "Beta or final product" I am integrating features and getting the framework functional and bug free before I put it in a production format. I am also getting the administration of features set up before I make them a full feature. So if you see that admin can manage screen shots and files but no one can use the feature then that's why.
