Re: [Texascavers] RE: The TEXAS CAVER Is Now Online!!!! - Bug fixes
I'm publisher for another club (not caving related). We charge $10 per year for all single person memberships. We did all paper mailed newsletters until about 1 year ago. Used to send out all paper newsletters. Now we send out 18 paper copies and about 60 e-mailed PDF's. PDF's are in color, mailed copies are B&W. Only club members can get the newsletter. The club above has VERY old members, so your PDF % is likely to be much higher. They also have tons of money, so financial losses due to mailings are not an issue. We really went to PDF because our copier broke. I would recommend only club members get the newsletter, but have a 2 tier pay system. Your mailings will go down drastically (I think), and your publisher (Mark) will be very happy.

Butch, >It should work now, when I fixed the state problem on the register page, I >forgot to change something in the JavaScript validation and ended up with a >syntax error. Unfortunately, not completely. Now I'm getting a state selection error again for Virginia. VA shows up as my state, but I get an error that says "State Select: , State: VA". Sigh. A new error has also appeared. Instead of Yes or No in the Display me on the Member list? option, it has my last name as my response. However the registration did appear to go through when I submitted it the second time, so we'll see if I actually get approved and can edit my profile and see the Texas Caver. Thanks for keeping on this. Mark Minton

Mark, It should work now, when I fixed the state problem on the register page, I forgot to change something in the JavaScript validation and ended up with a syntax error. The strange characters are a result of PHP and MySQL database commands. The way around it is to change the character set to UTF-8. I did that once and ended up with a mess. A few squigglies vs having to redo the website was a no brainer for me.

It still doesn't work right for me. Virginia is now accepted as my state, but when I hit Confirm Registration, the same registration screen pops back up. There are no errors listed, but the registration won't go through. I tried it several times in both IE and Firefox. There is also some strange code at the top of the registration form:  (probably irrelevant). Mark Minton

George-Paul, Regardless of how the annual dues proposal is calculated, it still equates to a dues increase of which I am in favor.
