Tommy - take a look at the code on the vote pages (under the votes directory. I know my code works because it's been used a lot. I fixed exactly what you're talking about.

Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
I get that, tommy. But if it's not hard to send a neatly formatted e-mail, why not? If it is hard, then we can bag it.
Gus, why don't you just e-mail it to me in the morning? Cutting and pasting from the mangled stuff here (which should also be put on the to-fix list) confuses and makes things odd.
But if it's not hard to send a neatly formatted e-mail, why not?
Oh. Duh. I didn't realize that the user name actually does something--it's what's displayed in the email itself. I just didn't see why it was there in the first place.
My email will be down through tomorrow, due to a some thingy with my ISP.
If you right click and "download as" the actual code through the link I just added, we should be golden.
eta: Just to be clear, the code should be downloaded from the link on my site, not the link to the site ... GAH!
From this link.
If it helps any, I do remember punctuation in user names causing issues with the email form thingies.
Gus, that link takes me to the result of an evaluation (111) -- I can't see the actual code. Maybe if you zip it, or display it in HTML?
As a zip.
Ta.
I think that's your browser. The code just makes it white.
Oh, okay. I'll go hunting. Thanks.
Another possible solution to the email validation thing: Put the user name and user ID as separate (hidden) fields on the form. When the form gets submitted, just validate the email address. Then concatinate them when the email gets sent.
Edit: If the user accepts the default, then the value of the radio button would be the user's email address (that's stored in the system). In that case, the extra hidden field with the user's name would be used.
