Hi Nightrider!
I'm slowly getting there, and I've added a 'contact us' form but its not working.
Its not going anywhere when you click submit, would you mind taking a quick peek to see what I've done wrong. I had to edit the config file but not sure if I did it right.
Thanks

Please report any bugs or problems to - please include your PHP version,

INSTALLATION:
Package Contents.
form.php - demo form.
config.php - this file contains parameters which you MUST change
process_form.php - form processing script, emails the form.
thankyou.php - example thank you page, you can create your own.
validation.class.php - php class used to validate the form.
validation.js - JavaScript functions used to validate the form.
README.txt - some basic information and LICENSE regarding the use of the script. Please read it.
installation.txt - This file
How to do a basic installation:
Upload the zip file (or each file at a time) to your server,
Consider which directory fits best with you site structure.
Unpack the content of the zip to your folder (if you have not already)
Open up config.php using an editor (vi would do on *nix)
Or you can open it on your local machine then upload after!
EDIT ALL SECTIONS INDICATED AT THE TOP OF THE config.php file
OPTIONAL:
If you want to change the default expiration time (60 minutes)..
Look for the lines (in the mkEncStr() function ):
// compare date/time
$plTime = date("YmdHi",mktime(date("H"),date("i")+60));
$msTime = date("YmdHi",mktime(date("H"),date("i")-60));
Edit the 60 values to your own preference.
Save you config.php file (upload if not already)
If you intend using this script on a form other than the one provided,
you must also edit the file 'process_form.php'
This file contains a generic form validator, you need to specify each field you wish to validate.
-----
ADDITIONAL HELP:
If you are having problems with install, please check the website for any additional details.
I hope to have the support section of the site completed very soon.
To build this form into your sites existing design:
Open up form.php for editing.
Insert your own HTML above and below the form script or
use PHP includes, for example:
include 'header.php'; // place at start of page
-- the form code in here --
include 'footer.php'; // place at end of page
Remember to keep the code include 'config.php'; before the form!!
----
Notes:
If you are experiencing problems (i.e. no page appearing, or no emails) -
switch on error display and full error messages in the php.ini
This should give you an indication of the error.
It is advisable to keep register_globals set to off.
Bugs:
If you find any bugs or have suggestions for improvements for future versions,
please let me know by emailing
Don’t forget to check the site for updates:

That page is really looking great. You've done a lot to it... 
The problem is that it couldn't find the process_form.php file listed in the form action setting. When I include a full path to the file, it works fine though. I had to adjust the following to get it to work:
OPEN
PRACTICE BOARD/form.php
FIND
| Code:
|
|
<form name="fcform2" method="post" action="process_form.php"
|
REPLACE WITH
| Code:
|
|
<form name="fcform2" method="post" action="http://www.tickerplayground.com/PRACTICE%20BOARD/process_form. php"
|
There might be better solutions than including the full path to the file, but this was a fast and easy method to get it working...

The CRON is working (course it is!) I don't know how they were trying to add it, so it won't be long now before its live - depends on how much peace I get  |

It would have been nice if they had cleaned up the display and provided a link to return to the main site. But since the Contact Link opens a new page or tab, you should be able to close them and be back where you started. I imagine that you could make the thankyou.php page look a bit nicer too by adjusting the style information. It's not absolutely necessary though...

I've tweaked and added the banner and a link back to the main site but for the thank you form and the error form I just can't get the background to show up. I've tried adding it in various places and I tried the form.css file but it doesn't show 
Where should I be adding it?
The code is <body background="bg3.jpg">

Ok, I played around with it a bit and placed the logo and background color code in the form_style.css file, so you can adjust everything there instead of having to modify each file separately each time you want to make a change...

What banner are you referring to? Are you talking about the Ticker Playground graphic? Isn't this what you see when you go to the Contact Us page as well as all other pages???
I checked this in Opera, Firefox, and IE6 and it was displaying correctly in all three browsers...
