Getting the back-up of the back-up of the back-up for the list together.

Still have to pretty-up the submitting form, convert some of the forum formatting code to HTML code and then pretty-up the layout (maybe put some filters in place).

For anyone interested -

Click on the Reply With Quote button on a List posting;
Select everything between the bracketed 'Quote' tags
.... i.e. [ QUOTE=tiburonfirst;6521624] SELECTED TEXT [ /QUOTE]
Copy selected text

Go to test1
Paste copied text into the text box
Click on Submit button
Click on the List link.


ETA:
Hmmm ... see that there is going to be some additional coding needed. The way I initially set the code up, it was case sensitive; gonna havta change that ;). Also different postings have some small coding differences which will have to be taken into account.

Well, like I said before, it'll take me a while to get it all set up.

BTW Atty - it's a back-up of a back-up .... Mainly doing this just to do this; not really expecting it to actually be used :D ;)

Did you get permission from the forum admins to store (partial) username data offsite Tom? Just a thought. They may not care since it's probably all publically available, already indexed by search engines, etc. But I'd ask first....

Checked with j0ker, he doesn't see a problem.

Tibs,

did you just copy this or did you check the date? VulcanVap3r.... 08/02 trekie stuff - star trek he's a vulcan , I show Aug 2 for join date, so leap year corrected is Aug 1. (I have both Renrave and VulcanVap3R ready to be added, but thought I'd wait 'till a little later this morning, because I'm going to try to update the list only a couple of times a day :) )


moving the info for this post to the discussion thread, i put it i the wrong place.

That was random....

alrighty then, what does morri need to do?

when you add someone to the to be added list, just specify whether the date you include is the join date that you see on their profile, or if you've corrected it for leap year. Others will check also, but it's helpful to know which date you're posting. both join date and leap year corrected is even better

Don't mind Tibs, she's german ;)

okkkk well since I've no idea "how" to correct for leap year and no one (up till this moment) has mentioned it to me, I am going by the date that is on their main page as join date, because......that is all I know.

If mind reading is going to be included in my job description, it's going to cost extra. ;) just sayin
