LOL, glad to hear you're having real problems... sort of...

I think what's going on here is that album.pl previously set a login cookie for you, and now that you've switched to anonymous mode, it's still trying to log you in using that cookie.

Easiest solution: switch back to auth_type=1 and log out via album.pl. That should delete the cookie for you, and then you can switch back.

Cheers

well, i've never actually (successfully) used authentication type 1, (i could never put the auth_db file in the right place....) so i think its not that....

i'll keep workin' hard (i can't wait til this works   )

p.s. can you sign on your AIM (i figure your online at the moment because of your fast response...)

Hey, I think I found out what's going on, and it's a bug. I fixed it, so if you re-download and replace album.pl you should be OK.

Let me know how it goes.

Cheers
