 It is possible for one user to upload images to multiple categories, however one image can only be assigned to one category. To assign the picture to more than one category, it would have to be uploaded to each category separately.
 Is it possible to customize the template so that there will exist be 3, 4 rating bars above a photo ?
 Unfortunately it is not possible at this time without custom programming. Each photo can only be rated at one scale.

  There's no direct support for preventing image hotlinking, but implementing this would be simple by using readily available .htaccess code snippets.

 Images are always displayed in random order.

 There is no banner management, but it should be trivial 3rd party scripts like Openads.
 Is there free unlimited code fixes, patches, etc?
 Unlimited lifetime updates cost $20 extra. Otherwise the updates period is limited to 6 months.
 Can the forum show the picture of the person who added a post or replied ?
 Actually the picture of the person who added a post or replied will be displayed. The pictures that are not showing up are either removed or not approved.
 Do members need to register separately for Forums and Chat rooms or they can use the same user names as for the main rating site ?
 No, it's the same login for all the features included.
 Is it possible for a member in k-rate service to have several images rated rather than just the one ?
