Post installation

Hello folks,

I've been working with drupal for a while now. Though unfortunately I don't have a lot of knowleadge in terms of working with php code. For my website I decided to use a static index.html page as the front page (as opposed to index.php). I thought about using the frontpage.module, but I was having too many problems with using it with Drupal 6.3. I'm currently using Drupal 6.3.

Here are my questions....

I looked through some of the link modules in Drupal for a way to add logical links but did not find exactly what I wanted so I wrote an extension to my pet module. If someone wants to add this feature to an existing Drupal module, I am happy to help so that I do not have to maintain mine.

When users come to my site, and post in the forums, it gets promoted to the front page. Is there any any at all way to disable this?

I have been having problems with urls and my max_user_connections lately. Firstly, all my urls for my content were reset to their original spots with ".aspx". I can't edit them back, and I have no idea what happened.

Now I keep getting these max_user_connection errors every so often. I have no idea what is causing this or how to fix it. I was hoping it would go away after a few weeks, but it's only gotten worse. Can someone please help me?

the purpose of og module is to have access (visiable) control for posts.

what i did:

1. enabled og module.
2. created a new group.
3. make myself the only group member.
4. posted a message only visiable to this group.

however:

when i logged in as another user, i can also see that message. how can this happen, as this is the basic functionality of og module? did i miss anything here?

thanks!

I am having trouble getting the gallery to work. I am working with a new install of drupal and I have installed the gallery module from http://gallery.menalto.com/.

I can get pictures to upload but I cannot get them organized into albums. http://www.chrisnbryan.com/drupal.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
