Ryan -- ..and then Ryan A said... % % Hey David, % Thanks for replying. Sure thing! % % % Voteing will be allowed only to clients who register and confirm their % email % % addresses, plus only 1 vote per IP and we will be using cookies... % % /* % That would be terrible for anyone behind a firewall. Leave it at once % per email address and just live with the fact that some people have more % than one available. % */ % Let me explain, when the person registers they wont just recive permission % to vote but also other things as a control panel will be created for them to Good enough. Lots of bells and whistles; that's great. % save their favourite packages from the differient hosts and even compare the Excellent! % packages side by side...if the cookie fails then i will try for ip and if % the ip fails then it will go only for the username.... OK. You haven't really explained how the cookie might fail or how your fallback works, but that's probably OK. % % /* % In addition, I presume you mean that one can only vote once for a given % web host vs having to pick a single one and vote for it and that's it... % I know of a few directly and should be able to vote on all of them. % */ % Nope, its not that you have limited votes, you can vote for each and every Good. % host on the site...but just one vote per host, dont you think thats fair? Nope. What if you have two users on a host? % % /* % It would be nice if you saved everyone's votes and let users modify them, % */ % Let users modify them? what do you mean? if users can modify a vote whats % the use of a vote? It depends; it might be a cast-it-once-in-stone kind of vote, or it might be a running report that stays up to date. Suppose I rank my current provider very highly but next month they lay off half of their staff and service goes down the drain; I should be able to change my vote to reflect their new status if this is something that people will want to see as worthwhile for more than just a short survey period. % % /* % but that gets into a bit more work on your part. But it would be nice :-) % */ % Now you've gotten me confused :-( Well, if you're going to keep my vote around so that I can change it you now have to have an entire database record for me. If I'm just throwing my vote into the pile then you need only keep a running total. The latter is certainly easier. % % % /* % HTH & HAND % */ % Meant to ask you this before...whats HAND?
