    I just downloaded v2.05. Looks like a very nice script. I am thrilled to have found it.
    In reading the instructions, I see that the permissions are to be chmod 777 on the "form" directory and everything in it. This may sound stupid, but does that have to include the image (gif) files also?
    Also... if I chmod the "admin" folder (inside "forms") & everything in it to 777, (including the config.php file) how secure is that against malicious intruders? In other words, with the admin folder being 777, could someone screw up the whole thing for me?
    Would a solution be to password protect that directory?
    Thanks for your help!

      yes, the admin directory is supposed to be password protected with htaccess or some other authentication method.
