Okay... well, after finishing up the online signup system yesterday for

1.8, I ended up spending most of the evening tonight completely
rewritting it to make it cooler. Doesn't *look* much different, but the
internal workings of it as completely redesigned.
Some of the new features:
- Create, Edit and Delete record access can be *COMPLETELY DISABLED* in
the web security setup. I made it so it doesn't ever need to write
directly to the database... Instead it writes to an "in-between" buffer
and then triggers a server-side script to analyze that buffer and do what
needs to happen on the server side. Makes it much more secure that way.
Plus the script will reject anything that doesn't look perfect BEFORE an
account is ever created.
- Actual account creation isn't done until all forms have been filled
out. Makes it so you can go back and edit the intial form since it
hasn't been written to the database yet. Also makes it so there will be
no incomplete records in the database.
- Tons of other minor changes... but the main one was that buffer thingy.
Anyway, I could use some testers again.... So if anyone wants to help
out, go create as many accounts on my test system as you feel like (of
just one would be cool too). And let me know if you encounter any
problems (try doing dumb things that users may do). Or if you have any
suggestions for it, let me know.
