If you like Keith I don’t might creating a simple web page to collect the entries and store everything in a database. If necessary I can create an ‘admin’ function to close entries before qualifying and get it to generate the results for each round.

If you are interested email and we’ll see if we can work something out.

Sorry to hear that Andrew – remember you can email predictions in if it makes it easier.

Yes, you are quite right – you are actually equal 99th on 80 points having scored 25 at Hungary.

The reason for the mistake was because of how you’d written out your entry – I do ask people to use drivers’ surnames. If they haven’t, I try to correct them, but I must have overlooked yours.

As a lot of people on here have suggested, using a form would be a much better way of doing this. I’m not sure how to set one up, unfortunately, but if someone can do an example (perhaps using a plugin as Austin suggests) I’ll try to get it in place for the next round.

good idea Andrew, but it would have to be hard wired into our accounts, and since Keith’s site on the comments is more “add your mail” style and forgetful we will have to all help out to make the profiles more robust I guess?

So Keith, here you go, had an idea, can we get another Ke1thFanatic to bolt on the forms into our profiles we use on the forums?

That way our result will be hardwired into our profiles and should free up your time?.

Perhaps you could create one of those HTML form contraptions?

Keith,

Yes, I looked back on the Hungary GP predictions thread and I am shown as follows:

I know I’m not in contention with the guys at the front of the grid, but I do enjoy the predictions competition.
Keep up the good work.
