Several more countries have been added to accommodate more citizens. The
response is huge. Thanks everyone.

If you haven't added yourself yet, please do. If your country isn't
available, please drop an email to stout552002 at yahoo.com and I'll make it a
priority to do those countries first.

Have you considered putting this message out to the main public yet? The
newsgroups readers unfortunately are a minority among the AW citizens. There
are some who, because of the flaming, decided the ngs aren't worth the
hassle. And some who aren't aware the newsgroups are even available or how
to go about subscribing to them. Telegrams help to spread the news but I
think in addition to grams, and word of mouth, it would help to talk about
it at GZ or at the Gate. There are some tourists at either place who are no
longer citizens (and therefore do not recieve grams any longer) and would
probably be interested in using the directory. I know quite a few people and
can direct them to your website, but there are many people who are new cits
and none of us have met them yet.

Im sure if you spent 30 seconds on google you could find a whole list of
countries which you could dump in to a text file and then import in to a
table in your database.

I noticed a bug while trying to edit my submission... it defaulted with
YOUR pic url and changed my Pennsylvania to Alabama for some reason, which I
changed of course. Also when I checked (out of curiosity) to see how many
countries you now have available, it still only listed 3: USA, UK, and
Canada (the originals). Perhaps that didn't change because I added my
submission before you updated the countries listing? And I remember adding
both my accts on there... one has 1 dot and the second has 2. However when I
tried to edit the acct with the 2 dots I couldn't bring it up and when I
tried searching for that name it wasn't found. Did you delete the one
thinking I double submitted maybe? By the way, I resubmitted the second one
and this time put in the Cit # for it. Also, when I tried searching under
World Citizen List and typed in "alphaworld", I naturally assumed there
would be a listing of all the folks who submitted their names using that
world as their primary world. But only 1 person showed up.....
truckerette49. Even I would have showed up on that list, since I
listed alphaworld as my primary but I didn't. Shouldn't there be some kind
of listing with citizen names on it for that world? (I'm guessing)

truckerette may have been the only cit that entered who input alpha as their
world...I have nticed some people entering several worlds as their primaryy
world so I have to figure out a way to seperate those. You can enter
yourself many times if you'd like, each time using a different world as your
primary. Then when you are searched, several records come up, each with a
different world name.
I think ive gotten rid of that ugly photo problem (Mine) popping up when you
can find a record. I know about the "returning to alabama" issue. Im waiting
on something before i fix it. If you edit your profile, just make sure the
dropdown box reflects the correct state.
and yes Lioness.. I did delete your other record. sorry.

I will make that function available in the future. That will be a powerful
feature. It has long been needed, the ability to contact all the world
owners. I don't know who they all are. I'm not sure anyone except AWI knows.

(nods) Ok and np with the deleting my other cit acct. I was too lazy
to log onto AW to look up my cit #'s when I submitted to your directory and
figured I could do it later. LOL. Sorry bout the confusion.
Regarding the "primary world" issue... perhaps having 5 or more
seperate fields would help? I noticed that in the initial phase of
submitting info, there is only one field of input: "primary world" but when
editing there is another field that says "secondary world". Speaking for
myself... I do most of my building in alphaworld, however I don't usually
hang out there. I do that at the Gate. And on occasion I also visit TheBeans
where I have a build. So actually I have 2 primary world preferences. Some
folks like to hang out in more worlds than I do which would mean they might
(as an example) have more than 2 primary world preferences.
Maybe instead of naming the fields "primary" and "secondary" it might be
easier to just name them "worlds of choice" or something similar?

I think I might just waste the secondary world field. Here's the issue. When
you "Search" a database, the database will list all of the records that
MATCH your criteria. Let's say you want to search for ALL users who have a
primary world that says "Alphaworld".....

If your record says "Alphaworld and TheBeans" that doesn't MATCH.
Yes, the first part does, I know, but it isnt an exact match in its
entirety.

I have seen several awesome worlds that i wanted to compliment the owners
and theres no indication who owns them and u cant object select to see who
built it. I think there should be a space to put all the worlds owned by
that person. Myself my primary world is america but i have 4 worlds that i
build in also. I like the search by world feature u have but if its not
listed because its not a primary world u still wont know who owns it. I
really like this idea u have for a data base website :)

(nods) I do understand what you are telling me. I guess for now I'll
just have to submit my information seperately for those worlds then.... for
each of my accts and for each of the worlds. I don't mind.
I wish I had a template to show you what I meant earlier. I remember
seeing on a few different websites over the years.... something like a
question (ie What worlds do you frequent?) and like 6-7 white empty fields
stacked below that which you can write in your answer. Then later when the
search is looking for a "keyword", it's easier to find. I wish I could
remember those urls so I could show you, but I can't. However if I do
stumble across something like that I can email or gram you with it.
