Hey David, /# % Let me explain, when the person registers they wont just recive permission % to vote but also other things as a control panel will be created for them to
Good enough. Lots of bells and whistles; that's great. #/ Yep, without the bells and whistles no challenge for me to program and it will be like any other site... and since i still dont really consider myself a good programmer in php, still learning, this gives me a chance to work more and learn as i go along. /# % save their favourite packages from the differient hosts and even compare the Excellent! /# Thats only the half of it, will send you the link once i get a few hosts to list their packages coz now there arnt enough test packages for you to actually see most of the functionality. I made this after thinking of the trouble i went thru to find some decient hosts, I think i went thru around 9 hosts in the last 2 years before kind of settling down..... I guess hosts are like women, you think you finally found "the one" but..... + they are all GREAT when you start with them but.... :-D (Ladies am just kidding, dont curse me) /# % Nope, its not that you have limited votes, you can vote for each and every Good. % host on the site...but just one vote per host, dont you think thats fair? Nope. What if you have two users on a host? #/ Of course, nearly every host has more than 2 users :-)) at least if they want to stay in business but i kind of figured that the users would have seperate client accounts with me (so seperate control panels) to vote,add/compare packages etc, if i got the question wrong tell me. /# % Let users modify them? what do you mean? if users can modify a vote whats % the use of a vote? It depends; it might be a cast-it-once-in-stone kind of vote, or it might be a running report that stays up to date. Suppose I rank my current provider very highly but next month they lay off half of their staff and service goes down the drain; I should be able to change my vote to reflect their new status if this is something that people will want to see as worthwhile for more than just a short survey period. #/ Hmmm, a new bell or whistle i didnt think of, but i think it could be easily implempted, instead of giving a message "you ahve already voted for this host, only one vote allowed" etc I can say " you have already voted for this host on <datetime>, would you like to see your old vote or change it?" Good idea, i think i'll run with it. /#Well, if you're going to keep my vote around so that I can change it you now have to have an entire database record for me. If I'm just throwing my vote into the pile then you need only keep a running total. The latter is certainly easier. #/ Yep, but the former is more intresting :-). Thats pretty much the whole idea actually, I know i am not the only one in the world with brilliant ideas (was quite a shock to me when i found out -D ) and thats why i wrote to the list...if anybody has an idea of what they would like to see/have....drop me a few lines. Thanks for the idea/suggestion. Before i forget, dont get confused with my new /# and #/ to your messages, I just thought i'll change them everytime to give curt a hard time :-)) lets see him try to keep up with the variations i come up with.
