Update button is not working................

YOUR contact form has no return link from your thank you page.

Nice program..........needs a little more work.

David, thanks a lot for your comments. I am in the process of testing the website and your comments are very helpful. I will fix these problems and will repost. If you have time please do review once more after I fixed the errors.

Again, thanks for your help.

OK will do................did the 2 messages get through to your email from
your contact form ?¿

Actually, you might be better off not fixing it -- so it doesn't work.

If you present a site like this on the net for real, you will most likely soon violate VodaHost Terms of Service, which will force them to suspend your account indefinitely.

Can you imagine how many nefarious "Registrants" will stuff your site with spam and nonsense, including the images that they can cram in as fast as possible? Not only would your site be a Spam Breeding Ground, it will potentially abuse the server resources provision your account is allotted, and possibly affect the server itself and those other VodaHost clients that reside on it....

You would be better off using a Forum foundation, and learning how to deal with that first!

Vasili,

Thanks for your comments. However, I am not sure if you checked out all the features of my site. It does not allow one user access to the details of another user, so I don't understand how it can become a Spam Breeding Ground. The only email that any user can send is to me which is directed to my personal account which does not reside on vodahost. I am totally against spamming and if you see any possibility of spamming that I don't see, please let me know and I will plug it.

Coming to the question of "nefarious registrants", I don't see why anyone will upload rubbish when they can neither display it to the general public nor see what someone else has posted. Lastly, if the shared server resources truly get strained by high traffic volume, I can always switch to dedicated servers. Nowadays BlueVoda offers the services of dedicated servers. I know they cost more but I will be more than happy to use them if my site generates such volumes.

2.3) File Hosting

File hosting and file storage of any type is strictly prohibited on any and all servers within the VodaHost network. You MAY NOT use your VodaHost account as a download or file storage repository. Our services are strictly offered for website hosting only. This does NOT mean that you can not have downloads on your site. This means you can not operate a site that specializes in downloads like Download.com or similar and you may not use your VodaHost account as storage repository for MP3, games, video, audio or music files. Your account may not exceed 10% of used space in MP3, games, video, audio or music files

.

This is copied from the TOS and the content on your index page specifically states that you can store phone numbers, diary, etc.

Also, if the form is on your page, it goes through your vodahost server first, then to your personal account that is not on vodahost.
