For those encountering issues with the BBOMG registration form, please read! Please read this carefully if you are having problems with the BBOMG form.
I like the BBOMG event so much that I wanted to do something to help ensure that it stays as awesome as it is. So, I volunteered to help the organizers of the event by providing them with a more streamlined method of people registering for it and the charity dinner.
I purchased a special form processing piece of software that would suit our needs perfectly and created the form that some are having problems with.
Some have mentioned that once they complete the form, that it doesn't respond when they click the submit button. A few also pointed out that it
did work when they are logged into this message board. I thought this was
pure coincidence, and here is why...
This message board software and the BBOMG form software are 100% independent of each other. Both are made by different software companies on different sides of the planet. The only thing in common is that they reside on the same server, and even then they live in two different directories. I don't know of a way to make the two pieces of software communicate with each other, so I thought it was just plain nuts that people were saying that they could get the form to work only when logged into this site.
And then I got thinking...they do share the same
database...so it probably wasn't a coincidence after all.
I still don't quite know why or how there is a database conflict (and I am only assuming that is the problem) but let me make a few things clear...
- I intentionally didn't use this message forum that you are looking at to process the BBOMG registrations because I wanted everyone who wanted to attend the event to be able to register easily, no matter what site they had an account on. Clearly, that backfired on me perfectly.
- If you want to sign up for BBOMG but do not have an account on this message forum, and do not want to have one, just sit tight for a little bit. Over the weekend, I will be building a standalone, separate web site for the BBOMG event. I have personally been thinking the event deserves one anyway. So, sit tight, be watching for the announcement of the location and where the form is that won't have a message board on it, so there should be no database conflicts like the one we have now.
- I personally apologize for the problems, all. They were not intentional. I just wanted to help out in the best way I know how and it sorta went sideways on me. Give me a little bit of time to make it right!
Feel free to ask any questions, but PLEASE help me focus on the creation of the new BBOMG web site by directing anyone who is posting around the web that they are having problems with the BBOMG form to this thread. It will help immensely!
Thanks!
