Some thanks on Thanksgiving…

Thanks to people like iamdrumming and Big Ang for using the "Report Post" feature to help me moderate the forum

I find that case-sensitive username functionality to be a bit bothersome. I understand enforcing case-sensitive passwords, but not case-sensitive usernames. Anyway, I've tweaked the authentication code to allow any case usernames now.

I was initially thinking that I wouldn't go near the feedback forum idea, but I've managed to hammer out some barebones functionality.

In the phone exchange forum, all registered members will have a "View feedback" link under their name. Also, if you are logged in, you will see "Leave feedback" links as well. Any registered member (giver) will be able to leave feedback for any other registered member (receiver), relating to any topic in the phone exchange forum in which the receiver has posted. Unfortunately this is not retro-active, so you can't give and receive feedback for items when everybody posted as a guest.

Give it a try — log in, find a post in the phone exchange forum in which I have posted (such as this one), and leave some made-up feedback. You'll notice that feedback profiles will show a list of feedback items, but will not show a tallies of how many positive, negative, or neutral feedback items have been given. This is done purposely, as I think that reading someone's overall feedback profile is more useful.
