New Competition Site - PGDAnnual.com

[AthenaOfDelphi]

If you've happened to have a nose around the web for stuff relating to the competition, you'll no doubt have seen it referred to as 'The PGD Annual'.

Well, as the site is being revitalised this year, and the competition is back, we have a new site that will host the competitions...

www.pgdannual.com

This is a very early version of the site software, but I want to avoid any last minute hitches, so I'm opening the site for signups and testing of the parts that are there. Just bear in mind that it will undergo a complete database wipe before it is launched properly ready for the competition. If you find any problems with the site, report them here. Likewise, any comments (good and bad), pop them here.

In case you're wondering... just because it's called pgdannual.com, we won't be limiting it to one competition. Several times, people have commented about having smaller weekend competitions... the plan is that once the system is finished, we'll be able to handle those too.

Very nice. I like the setup of the new site so far. The front page may have to be configured to allow advertisements, but otherwise it's perfect. Nice job!

Looks good Athena, well done!

I agree, nice work

EDIT: Would it be possible to get to work together with the PGD site, so I don't have to register, but use my existing PGD account? (just a thing that came to my mind).

I think, at this stage, the answer is no. The competition site requires a lot more information about you (your address for example) that the main site doesn't, and since they are seperate domains, it's not that easy to grab your login information from SMF.

Maybe we could add it in the future, but at the moment... time is tight enough :-)

Thanks for the feedback so far guys.

Has anyone actually tried to register an account? I noticed Paul Nicholls tried to login (and I noticed you put an _ in your nickname Paul, the system does allow spaces)

[NecroDOME]

I tried to register, got a white screen afterwards. User does not exists yet.

Also tried to register but got a white screen with no activity...

[AthenaOfDelphi]

I introduced a tweak to the registration script that blocks certain names and sequences of letters... unfortunately, I keep getting length() and count() muddle up for getting the length of an array :-)

It's fixed now.

Yup it works now
