[Updated] Free Feedback Form Script Wizard: Create a Customized Contact Form for Your Site the Easy Way

Posted by thesitewizard.com - April 7, 2008 on 3:21 am | In Site Wizard | No Comments

A new version of the Free Feedback Form Script Wizard has been released.

At the request of many users, I have added the facility where you can make the checking of the name and email fields optional for the contact form. Previously, if your visitors left the name or email fields blank, they would be sent to your error page. You can now change this behaviour if you don't like it. Note that this option has only been implemented for the PHP version of the script (for now). This is the version that most users install anyway, so it should benefit most people.

This is an optional update. There are no other changes, so if you don't want the new features, you don't have to update.
