It figures.. regarding the weekly submission form


I thought I had found a great new form to use after the server of the other one was down for awhile. It was working good, and it even e-mailed the person submitting the form. However.....  After people were using it for awhile, I saw something that could not allow me to keep it. First of all, it held the results of each form on its server. That would be nice, except it only held 10 forms at a time. After that, it wouldn't allow any more submissions until those forms were cleared out of the server. Poor Shawnda kept trying to submit her picks and it wouldn't allow it because I had 10 forms in there already. Of course there's no option to turn off the option of not saving them and just allow it to go to my e-mail. They want money after all. Sure, you can increase the amount of forms held in its server... if you subscribe to the pay service. Having to go in and delete each form all the time before it hit 10 would be a problem, especially since we have 30 people in the league.


Unfortunately that's not the worst thing. I find out that you can only do 50 submissions per month.... unless you subscribe to the pay service. Let's see... 30 people... 4 races a month. 120 submissions per month. Nope... don't think so.


 


So with the other server still down... (it says they are moving. They've been moving 4 days now.... ) I had to find something else. So I found something that allows you to keep the actual form on your own site, and link to their cgi bin to mail the form. Unfortunately Geocities doesn't have a cgi bin, so I can't use them. There's a little bit of advertising on the page that appears after you submit your picks, but at least there are no pop-up ads. I hate them and wouldn't subject the league members to them. Hopefully their server is reliable, and I pray this lasts for awhile. Unfortunately I can't make it to e-mail the sender, so I will still e-mail you a confirmation myself.
