Development release 200603181355 brings anonymous rating (with a cookie). Waiting for your feedback :-)
History Site Graph
I am not sure if it works, but my version is 1.5.1 (very close to 1.5.2 , just the one before - a devel version). I noticed that on history, you show (very nice) the statistics of how many users accessed the site (even with 1 hour resolution). However, at some point a statistic of uniq visitors (graphical) should be good as well. Many people are interested on uniqs , and not on how many pages are opened.
Just an ideea - on my version i couldn't find a way to view graphs of the uniq visitors. I am sure is a very simple addon, and that's why i am mentioning it here.
Also, by the way, you are one of the less php programmers i saw to write clean code, that even me i could understand what is inside. Mucho Kudos.

Well, i was thinking that you can add some virtual user, and you can identify the user by a permanent cookie stored on user's computer. Ofcourse, the user will be able to delete the
cookie (which by the way should be uniq, probably unixtime+X_random_chars), but who will do this just to rate a picture, let's be serious.
However, is hard to create a community when having just pictures to show, people come , see, and then rarely come back (is the ideea "Ah, i know this site, i saw all the pics"), Rarely the ideea of having comments may make visitors return (if the pictures are very commented , and becomes like a small forum).
Regarding the rating anonymous, i would use cookies, in fact i think this is the only way to allow anonymous rating.

You're right, rating system is disabled for unregistered users. I didn't know how to make it work, but PhpWebGallery can continue to think about it.
Can you add a feature request ? http://bugs.phpwebgallery.net

"but this doesn't works for comments" should be read "but this doesn't works for ratings".
