Hi all, I'm new to webmastering and heard this was a good place to get advice.
I am a photographer and I want people (mainly picture editors from newspapers and magazines) to register so that they can access the higher res pictures on my site which will be password protected.
I want to know how I get the sort of registration protection I have just used to register with TWF ie the code generated which required me to fill it in - I assume to stop automatic registrations by webcrawlers. This appears a popular - and therefore a pretty efficient way of ensuring there aren't too many bogus registrations. Any advice and suggestions of possible sources would be gratefully received.
Have a good day
Bob

Hi there, welcome to the forums.
Have a look around hotscripts.com, I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for there.

Hi and welcome!
I don't know if you are looking for an alternative to runinng your own script or whatever, but, we use Flickr for our family pictures and I'm building my portfolio on there as well.

Welcome to TWF.
It would probably be easier to use simple authentication which Apache offers by itself - just a popup box in the browser and one username/password (you can make more, but they all have to be done individually). All the malarky required to create a script that'll do what you need will just detract from what you want to be doing - taking photographs!
Although Flickr might do what you do, or pretty close. I would advise against trying to write that kind of functionality yourself, depending upon your experience level of course (however, we're a community of webmasters and we use someone elses software to handle all that stuff for us
).
As for hotscripts.com ... pffft, that's a pretty rubbishy answer. If you're not sure what you need, you aren't going to find it in those corridors of confusing, ambiguous categories!

Jeeves, I threw Flickr out there as I use it for graphic protection.

Yeah, no worries. It might well do what he wants! What I'd advise against is trying to write it all himself - Flickr is great from what I've heard.
