Actually, I think it would be better for us to shut this topic down and start a new one with my code, rather than posting my code in someone else's post.

Edited to add: My code is here --> http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php/topic,29670

JPD,

I think you're right.  This topic has become so convoluted it's difficult to figure out which code to use.

Posted a link in the first post for updated code by Deni.

[Azphat12]

I will leave it as is then.  If anyone would like to use mine, I would be happy to post/send it to them.

Hi guys!

I reformatted the applicaiton form to suit my online gaming guild. ( thanks for the application btw) however I think I messed something up and it is not working. I would appreciate any help any of you could give me, as to what I did wrong.

Thanks ahead of time.

How is it "not working"? If you give a little more information, it'll give us some idea of what to look for. Specifically, if you get an error message with a line number, that'll narrow things down a whole lot.

[Anthea]

When you go to the Article it comes up completely blank - as if nothing were in the article at all.

[JPDeni]

You'll need to give me a link so I can see what's going on. Or you can use the Generic Application Form code which I know a whole lot more about.
