Dear All,
the Membership list has been updated (finally). I am talking about the MAIN list, not the forum member list which you see above. to view the main list, enter the URL of the club (www.uae4x4.com) then on the top menu (right side) you will see a button "Member List".
I had to change the format, it's uglier than before, I know, but it's easier for me to update.
Each addition of a single member required altering 3 pages before, now I just output the list from the main database. Now it's semi-automatic
.
Full automatic would mean allowing members to register online and have the main database online, which I am reluctant to do. I prefer to keep it on my main PC for security reasons. It contains your mobile phones and e-mails. By Keeping it offline, if a malicious hacker breaks into the site, he only sees what you see, nothing more
As far as numbers, the number of members went up to 694 (just 8 members short of 700 ) but then I had to drop it back down to 640 'cause there are lots of people whose registrations were not correct :
1- Some members I know left the country.
2- Some made incomplete registrations.
3- Some registered using street vehicles (not allowed)
4- Some members better check their e-mails. Wrong e-mail input, causing club e-mail notifications to bounce back.
It's up to you include your mobile or not, but registrations with no e-mails (or wrong e-mails) will not be processed, hence if you do not see your name on the list please re-register. Kindly allow 2-3 weeks to see your name in the list. I dont update the site everyday.
You may have noticed that member pictures have been removed in the new format. no worries, I am thinking of installing a photo album utility for you to update and upload pictures, this will be useful also for sharing pictures on this message board.

Thank you for this update ... I am very happy to be part of the member list, from now on. Any chance to do some Dune bashing with you in order to meet new sand addicted people ?
