Thats a nice collection of sites you have there.

The previews are sort of outside your control. Thumbshots.org will pick them up eventually but I suspect they generate them based on how many requests they get for a particular site.

As for bots and spammers registering, there is an add on in the downloads section to add captcha to the add site and reviews pages. Also the current version, 2.1b has this feature built in.

Thanks Dewed..

I see.. I donīt think that I have "activated" the Thumbshots, not sure how to do that..

Great!! I will look inte that. Is there any possibility that I can update the version that I am currently running, or does it demand a new installation? (Donīt know what version I have running now..)

Thanks for the info!!

There is nothing to activate. If thumbshots.org has the image you will see it. They are striving to get previews of every site out there, but as you know the internet is pretty big, and I presume, frequently requested sites are created first.

I believe you are running version 2.0.1 and while there is no formal upgrade routine, you could upload the new version into a different directory, edit the /include/config.php file to point to you old database. The neccesary info is in your current include/config.php

I would then need to come up with the necessary MySQL commands to add a few columns to some of the existing tables, and add a few more tables to your current database. You could then run those mysql commands via phpmyadmin, or mysql command line.

You would then need to re-add the logo in the header file, but your style.css file could be copied over directly if you've customized it.

Afterwards, rename your current install directory, and rename the new install directory to the previous name.

If you are willing to try it, I am. I would of course strongly suggest you make a backup of your database first though.

I see.. Funny enough, there is no prewiev at all, for no sites in the directory.

*peeww* A lot of work it sounds. I am a dummie when it comes to this matters, but I am going to talk to the people at the webhotel I am using to see if they are willing to assist..

Will try the spambot / spammer add, though.

Many thanks for your help!
