Drupal is up and running but how do I ...?

How do I limit the display of the most recent comments to 5 instead of 10 items?

I've been trying to limit the most recent comments block to 5 items on my site, but i can't seem to find the place in the module where I need to alter the php code. Can anybody help me out?

Thanks,

Some users passwords can't be reset

Some of my users (first to register) can't reset their password.

When they try, Drupals throws an error stating mail can not be sent, however resetting a different account works immediately before and after trying one of the suspect accounts. So Sendmail is available and working.

Compounding the problem is that the password is indeed changed, but not emailed, so testing is a real bummer as acccounts become inaccessible without manually restoring the password hash in the db.

How to do (Can I do) Indexes with teasers.

Is there a module that will create something like this (ignore the colours)
http://www.onebit.ca/cricket/#botp

I'm thinking of making a Drupal book for my fanfiction; one of the primary links of the site would be to the root page for that book. Then the trilogies, books, and chapters, would be children, grandchildren,...

The first bit of each story / chapter would be the teaser. (Possibly blank.)

The questions are:

1. How do I (automatically) include the teasers in the index?

How to add parameters to a paged db query?

Hi,

I've been using the pager_query() method succesfully to create a table with database results split over multiple pages.
In that case i use a simple "SELECT * FROM table" query.

But now i want to create a similar table, but the sql query includes a WHERE clause...
I've checked here, but the pager_query() method doesn't seem to take parameter values.

Handling Web Server Errors / Speed

I just downloaded and installed Drupal 4.6.3 and started playing around with the whole system. I read the handbook on creating modules. I decided to learn how to use Drupal to develop enterprise level sites.

I have a few questions:

How do I make drupal faster?
I noticed that drupal logs every login, logout, error, etc. Even this seems useful at the beginning, I do not want this to be active all of the time. How do I disable this logging feature?
