I suppose I should have put the note at the top, but it was a great marketing move to make you all read through and consider your answers, so I would get better feedback ;) > Mind you the thread list is handy as a quick reference, but the form kicks > ass. > Will you get it to update a page on the fly or update it yourself every so > often? I suppose it would be better to have a self updating list, as then it would make it easier to write a script to search it all, but I haven't got a clue how to write CGI perl or anything Web related, so my only option would be to set-up a guestbook, but that would allow multiple entries from everyone. Ideally I'd need to have something like on the NY homepage, where it gets rid of your last entry and replaces it with your new one, but then you would have to input all your info each time you progress in a project, so I'd need to allow each person to check all the info they have currently got, and change what they want. As I say, I haven't got the slightest clue how to do that, so I'm planning on manually updating it, though I'm writing a very bad and inefficient utility in VB which I can just paste the e-mail into, and then it outputs a .html file (hopefully, I'm pretty useless at VB, and I've only got VB 4.0 learning edition, so I can't make .exe files, but it should speed everything up and keep it all standard. I'll activate the form once I've finished the utility and tested it a bit. Should be this week, maybe even tonight, but I've got a week off school next week so I'll have it up and running for definite then. Anyway, one thing I want to know is about the colours. Who thinks they should be changed? Andrew Murray sent me a suggested form, with a few things updated, and the colours changed. You can view it here: http://www.netyaroze-europe.com/~rprince/listform2.html Any thoughts on it? (Submissions still not allowed ;) Rikki
