vujsa's free web hosting request form 3.1.4 has been installed.
As suggested by guy, I have modified the Free Web Hosting Application Form to include a credit check.
The check compares the number of credits available to the number of credits required for the package being requested. If the Standard Package is requested but the user has less than 30 credits, they will be redirected back to the form and told to select the Starter Package instead. If the Starter Package was requested but the user has less than 10 credits, they will be redirected to an error page informing them that they do not yet have enough credits to receive free web hosting.
I'm hoping that this will reduce the number of invalid hosting requests the admins receive.
I'll work on a paragraph to briefly explain what to do if the user has less than 10 credits. Currently, it just says "You don't have enough credits for any of the hosting packages!"
Additionally in 3.1.5 I'll add a check to se if the user has zero credits at the time of the request. If they do, I'll do a seperate error form with links to the various topics reguarding the posting for hosting system.
Please let me know if you spot any bugs. - Unlikely but maybe the kids were helping while I was away from my desk!

Oh once again awesome work vuj

One suggestion - can you alter the code a big to convert the email addresses to a format like:
myemail@email.com ==> myemail_AT_email_DOT_com
or something similar, where the "."s and the "@" is elimited from the email and replaced with something else.. ? That'll stop the spam harvesters to a great extent.
Thanks,

I'll give this some thought. It wouldn't be hard to code but I'll try to find a less obvious way to do so. I may use similar looking special HTML characters. This would make the email address look normal but would confuse spiders and bots.
Thanks for the compliment.
