You must have entered your Real Name whilst I was still making changes to the database. I used an old copy of the database to copy over previous real-names which people had entered - so I can only suggest that the (Hills) must have been on the end of your previous real name you'd entered?
Thanks Julian, it makes sense, I was obviously fairly quick off the mark while you were still working.

And I notice you haven't even spelled your surname correctly. What are we going to do with you? (That is a rhetorical question)

How's that for a solution?

I've now made this change to the code. At least indicates whether someone has entered a name, and shows "None" if they haven't, or if it's "Anon."

I've just added another Mod, which adds a randomly selected CH-related question to the registration.

Hopefully this will prevent some of this rubbish spam-bot activity....

Annoying isn't it. I spent nearly an hour researching a post tonight about an applicant and after I put it up I discovered he had deleted the applicant in the meantime! Spoiled my fun and the fun that Yeli, 22, from Santo Domingo would have given JR.

I don't want anyone viewing my bot.

btw, is a spam-bot like a robot but made of spam, as shepherds' pie is made of shepherds?

Just what I would suggest - well done ! But as I'm incurably curious, and we can't re-register, can we have some examples of these "random" questions ? Just to see if we get them right !

Hope the questions are not Horsham related, we want more ladies from Midget's era (and others).
