Post installation

Although I have a message in there, it doesn't seem to appear on the top of the page for any user types at all. Is there something I haven't enabled? They did show once, when I first installed.

Hi there, I would like to display rss feed from anothor website into a drupal block.
Does someone know the answer?

As you can see on the following page, this article gets automatically spammed by some script.

I already enabled the 'must preview before submitting' option, but this doesn't seem to stop the script. The problem is that this script is running on more than 8 ips! I already blocked the following ips with the troll module, but it's always different ips.

First of all, to the people who created the gallery.module, for the integration between Drupal and Gallery... ya'll are amazing. The people who are complaining have no idea what they are talking about. Amazing, amazing. I was thinking, 'wouldn't it be nice if there was a page that listed the sync status for all my users', and VOILA, there was one already!

So I post my issues not with the idea that it is Gallery's fault, or the module's fault, but maybe someone else runs into them, so this will help.

On a limited basis, some users are testing my Drupal Gallery combo, and this creates variances.
Issues
1. I am getting a few instances where the user has changed her screenname, which makes it different from the Gallery name. This creates a 'Different Full Names' problem. IS it a problem? Should I manually change the gallery user, or will it automatically update?

2. This is my fault, for mucking with my database too much, but I have two users that are mixed up. In the database they weren't in UID order, so I switched them back around... OK, so you shouldn't!, but I did, and now noooooothing is synced, the user 2 links to user 3's gallery, and user 3 links to user 2's. Are there any problems with going in and changing the Gallery user info to the appropriate user?

Some background:
First, most of my users were hand-imported. I inserted them into the database with a cunning SQL query. I ran another query to change their status from blocked to active (by the way, this is done by changing the status field to "1").

Is there an option/module to allow me to add content in the form of an article reprint?

For example, currently I am required to provide a valid user in the "From" field.

I would like to say "By Mark Smith, Pittsburgh Post-Tribune".

DP complained because this is not a valid user.

Thanks! :)

For example, is there any way to allow anonymous users to fully participate is some forums but not others?

Further, is there a way to allow comments on some content types (like forums) while simultaneously forbidding it on others (such as books)?

Thanks for any information.
