Just wanted to say Hello, and thank you for allowing me to run my game here. I hope I don't disappoint anyone with my style of RP. (Someone had questioned my definition of Simming, mind you, I don't think it's heavily plotted. My problem with simming is others writing for my characters. that's my job, the part of RP I enjoy. :) I simply had a bad experience with a 'sim' when I first explored them and never could enjoy them after that.) Anyway, I _think_ I have the webpage the way I want it. And am asking any who would like to take a look and over constructive criticism to feel free to let me know what you think. Of course, the addy is ( http://www.phoenyx.net/stc ). I'm also ready to start accepting applications/characters, so how do I go about having the 'ad' posted? I wasn't sure if phoenyx.net had a email forms CGI so I used one from 'bravenet.com' if there is one, I'd like to know about it :) DJ -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Listowner tools are found at http://www.phoenyx.net/listowners

We're a version behind, but I don't like some of the changes in the new form and I'm trying to decide how to deal with them. (I hate changes that break current forms.) We don't have a documentation page for it yet, but if you go to http://bignosebird.com/carchive/bnbform.shtml it has a copy of the script with documentation and samples. The script we use is at http://www.wirebird.com/cgi-bin/bnbform.cgi (Don't ask me why Karen stuck it in the Wirebird cgi directory, but that's our site, too.) -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Listowner tools are found at http://www.phoenyx.net/listowners

I'm hoping to have the first bits of the registration CGI together at the same time; I'm by no means ready to switch any lists over, but some of the web stuff (like the new-game registration) could start using it. > We don't have a documentation page for it yet, but if you go to > http://bignosebird.com/carchive/bnbform.shtml it has a copy of the > script with documentation and samples.

Sitewide (versus domain-wide) stuff goes there. Same like safemail, although I ended up with a logical link in the Phoenyx cgi dir. We could do the same with the form script. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Listowner tools are found at http://www.phoenyx.net/listowners

We could do the same with the form script. I've disliked doing that in the event that the wirebird.com domain goes away. If we're never going to really use it, I don't like to keep paying for it. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Listowner tools are found at http://www.phoenyx.net/listowners

Was looking for an appropriate statement to use last night, but company came over before I finished... will have a statement up soon, and a lot of the graphics are my personal creations :) >If I knew you said "addy" I might have reconsidered giving you a spot.

If so, I have a _little_ experience with them from work, and would be happy to help, however I'm no "Wizard" with them. ( 'Perl 5.0 for Dummiess' is my friend :) There are a few good websites out there that offer free CGI's, and I've used them to good purpose at work. I'll look up my bookmarks when I get to work and make note of them for later. >We don't have a documentation page for it yet, but if you go to > http://bignosebird.com/carchive/bnbform.shtml it has a copy of the >script with documentation and samples.

( 'Perl 5.0 for Dummiess' is my friend :) It's Perl, but my problem isn't deciding how to modify it, but in deciding whether to modify it. (Karen and I are both proficient coders... we make/made our livings in the industry.) Once you start modifying code, you can't just drop in new versions... you have to keep applying your changes to every new version. I'm not sure it's worth moving to a new version when the version I have works. (The newer one supposedly has better security, though some of that security is through poor obscurity... and that's the stuff that's changed. The internal file names now have hidden extensions, but those extensions are hard-coded, so if you've seen the script it's no security at all.) > There are a few good websites out there that offer free CGI's, and I've bignosebird.com is one of them. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Listowner tools are found at http://www.phoenyx.net/listowners
