Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I think that's your browser. The code just makes it white.
Oh, okay. I'll go hunting. Thanks.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
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.

tommy, seriously, look at my voting pages. IIRC, that's exactly what I do.

I looked at one of your voting pages last night. I didn't notice the extra hidden user field, though. I prolly just didn't look close enough.
(edit: I was under the impression that your solution was similar to my "let's ditch the user id entirely" one, so I just looked at enough to confirm that in my head.)
I did notice on your page that you kept the user's email address surrounded by < & > - that makes sense now.

There's no way to search for a specific user's profile unless you know their user id, right? This would be a useful feature. Gus?

I don't know if it's Gus you're looking for, P-C, at least wrt the feature requests. Am Chau is the keeper of that list.

Well, Gus came through with the Buffista map, so I figure he can do just about anything.

Yeah, but the Buffista map's not actually integrated into the site (yet). And when it is, it'll be done by me or one of the other volunteers.
Am Chau maintains a prioritised list of requests, and everything's behind the filter right now. Also behind the switch to PostgreSQL, I'm thinking, since that's coming along so well.
