I've reposted this because a) The last post was crap, as it was done at 3 in
the morning, and b) in my news reader it's been added to a previous thread,
which will make it difficult (for me at least) to keep up with, as it was
posted months ago.

Basically, the Net Yaroze Active Members List is up and running. You can get
to it at:

I've tested quite well, but the best testing is going to be letting everyone
enter their details. I've checked it in both IE5.0 and Netscape 4.7, and it
works. Hopefully there shouldn't be any problems with previous versions,
though I cannot be certain. If you have any problems with previous versions,
contact me, though your best bet is probably to upgrade if you can, as then
you'll have no problems with other sites which don't work with your browser.

It currently uses most of the form that was generally agreed on a while ago,
though some things had to be altered to make it easier to store, and
display, such as the current projects, and the programming languages known.
At the moment you can only enter 5 of each, though if this turns out to be
too restrictive, then I think I can quite easily add some. Also, due to the
way perl doesn't need variables to be defined before use, adding a form
field, and then adding it to the display, edit etc, there will be no problem
with old entries not having inputted those fields, so I can add new fields
if they will be helpful.

You can currently:
1) Add a new entry.
2) Edit a current entry (if you know the editing password).
3) Have the editing password you entered e-mailed to the e-mail address you
entered, if you forget it.
4) View a list of all those entered, sorted by the last time they edited
their details.
5) View all the details entered by the person.

Well I can't think of anything to write about so anything else I think of
will appear as replies to this thread.
If you have any queries about or problems with the Net Yaroze Active Members
List, e-mail me at netyaroze@rprince.dircon.co.uk .

PS. Matt, what do you suggest instead of dark blue? I think it's only the
links that are dark blue, and I didn't find it too hard to read when
creating the forms. However, seeing as it may cause some people problems,
what should I do instead?
Do the survey at:

I'll leave it a while, and see how it goes.
