The problem with them is they all require people to have accounts on the site, and those accounts cost money. The reason I went with this software 20 years ago was that everyone could use it without subscribing or paying. It might be that those innocent days are over; I haven?t yet given up on the idea of a ?prove you are not a robot? front end to a freeware gallery site.
