Re: StackOverflow

That sounds great.  I can understand the need for security, but I do 
think you need to change this.  Most apps come preconfigured with a 
default account, and quite frankly I think that is sufficent.  If you 
are concerned about security after that, then force them to change 
the password on the first login.

I think you've got a great piece of software here, and I would like 
to see if it meets my needs.  But you really do need to make 
restritions like this more clear.  The other person who helped me 
(mcaviti, thank you btw), said that the local access restrition was 
in the documentation, but I could find it no where in the docs that 
came with the webapp.  And erroring out with a StackOverflow, when 
the app could check for that condition is less than desireable.  
Mcaviti, said the latest version doesn't do this, but I downloaded 
the only version there is on the site (3.9).

One last question.  Does Pixory allow me to cutomize the apprearance 
of the app?  I would like to make it blend in with the style of the 
resot of my site, so being able to customize it's CSS or templates 
would be a good thing.  I tried looking for something like this while 
I was using lynx, but didn't find it and easily could have missed it.
