Okay so that was a bit of a pain the butt!! Just finished working on the page security and making sure everything is properly encrypted and making sure that people can't try to use someone else's account. Well I guess their is a way but that would require someone to hack the entire server. Which I'm sure is possible but hell if hackers can crack giant corporations then im sure they can get into my box. Anyway Im just glad I have a reliable user login and user management application built into the game. This will allow people to send and recieve in-game messages. I have the ability to add the smiley face images to the actual body of the message. Im back and forth on whether or not I like that feature but I'll see by peoples reaction to them whether or not I should keep it.

laters,

Well its definately fun to watch this site grow. I've been keep a list of all the issues/bugs i find. It's helpful because it allows me to keep better track of everything and not let this things slip through the cracks and get forgotten.

here is a list of some of the things i just completed
- show ALL troop locations on CC.asp (Command Center isnt displaying all planets with troops on it properly)
- correct issue with renaming planets not able to process symbols encode decode not working - correct status bar on Inbox to properly display unread messages
- add ability to send reinforcements to planets you own (just an update statement)
- add ability to send reinforcements to other players (insert or update)
- add ability to recall reinforcements

Each time I sit down at the computer I am amazed at the level of detail involved creating something this.

wish me luck
