that's ok. i just wanted to make sure that i hadn't missed something. i'm eventually switching over my entire dial up bbs, to my web page, with elog being the message system. self-registration was the last piece of the puzzle for me :)

i seem to be unable to find a clear explanation of how to enable self-registration in the docs.

just to be sure i grepped the doc directory, but the two references to it were in the changelog and the faq.

it could be just me but i'm not reading between the lines or connecting the various places in the docs to get it going :/

Actually this is a good idea. After thinking a while, I wonder if anybody at 
all would like not to preserve the preset values. So if nobody complains, I 
will set the behaviour such that elog always preserves the entries if one 
edits an existing message.

Ok, but is there a possibility to preserve the fields of the old message, but 
still be able to edit it. This would be a nice feature in the case of an entry 
with lots of attributes (set to something different then the preset values). 
After submiting the message you realize : one option was wrong and now you 
want to edit it without changing the other options again.
Is this possible?

Thank you and best regards,

Stefan

The option "Fixed attributes = ..." will do the job.
  94   Fri Aug 9 12:40:23 2002 Question Stefan Siegelssiegel@lucent.comQuestion  Edit an existing message overwrites attributes with preset values
Hello,

Is there a possibility to prevent elog to overwrite attribute values when 
editing an old message? The old values are overwriten with the preset 
options for that attribute. 
But sometimes you will preserve attribute text and /or options from the old 
message.

Thank you for your help. Regards,

Stefan
