Site Critique - PalJam

Hey guys,

This is a site I've been programming. It's similar to Friendster but has a feature that allows people to set up and RSVP to events, so people will know who is attending the events.

I also eliminated the script that shows all your connections to friends of friends of friends because the recursion is a server hog.

Here it is, beta testing right now...

Please let me know your thoughs, any comments welcome, and thanks for the people who answered my questions on DevShed .

PS - in this version, u will need a standards compliant browser to correctly view the layout. I'm still fixing some form bugs in IE 5.5.

It should look ok in IE 6.

// edit: any information that you enter in this version will be eliminated on site launch, so don't worry about me saving any emails

You forgot to tell us the test login and what exactly you want us to critique.. is it the new feature or everything or what?!?!?

if u want to test, just sign up as whatever u want using whatever information. You can test anything within the site.

I don't think so. Make a test login/password if you want people to test things out.

It's good to see you're filtering out such evil content as <grin>, too... or anything within < and > apparently.

thanks for the heads up sepodati! i don't know how that escaped me

I logged in, signed up, filled out your forms and then you told me it was painless. Then I FINALLY tried to log in to what was supposed to be my homepage and got a 404 error. I felt like I just wasted my time. I don't know mabey I did something wrong but I was sorrily dissapointed in your programming...........

sorry about that, the beta testing is over, so some files and probably the database have been deleted. The site has already been launched. www.paljam.com

wow "sorrily disappointed"

sounds like u had a bad day or something and I ended up getting the brunt of that. You don't actually see any of the programming that goes into the site, how would you even know?

Anyways, I don't think a 404 error warrants that kind of criticism. 404 errors are not produced by PHP you know

No dude, just telling you what happend when I tried your link. I could care less if it works or not.......

If you have updated it, good for you. It seems to have needed it.

Update seems to work well!
Good job!

aw thanks
