Exactly. Think about how much easier it would be to edit our member's pages if they could do it themselves. Editing and uploading a huge PHP file over and over again is a pain. Besides, since only two members on my team know how to do this stuff, we have to track down every member for the respective info, so we are still missing some info.

Glad you found it. I'm proud of that one.
