Don't enter anything yet, althought the entry part of the code works the view part has for some reason reverted to an old version (I blame my host again!) so it's not showing all the details it should do.
I think I have a backup of the right version at home which I will upload tonight, then you can enter some reports and see if it all looks OK.
At least I hope I have a backup of the right version!

OK, here's some ideas for enhacing the utility, let me know what you think and if you get any new ideas.
1. Score - work out the score for each island and add it onto the db/report. 2. Defensive score, as above for the defence rating for an island. Maybe work out the minimum force needed to get 100% chance of victory? 3. Pruning - Auto delete old reports, how old is too old though? 4. Comments - Allow a short textarea for comments on the island. 5. Link to map - Some kind of link to a map (one of those already done) which highlights the location of the island on it. 6. Resource tracker - show the current resource level assuming no plundering/spending etc. 7. Inactivity flag - If the score hasn't changed for a period of time, flag as maybe inactive.

I could easily add a feature to my map utility that it shows the sector and the surrounding area, if given in the link.

OK, ready for testing after a big headache!
Don't worry about cosmetic stuff for now, I am sorting that as you read this!

It's developed a lot!
Starting litlle by little to be usefull...
If i enter coords for place thats not in the database, i get errors. You need to add
IF records are returned, do this, else view "No data on that island" etc.
One big improvement would be a dropdownlist of all islands that have data on this utility. That way it would be easy to check the details faster. (but leave the textbox too)
It added my scout ships to defenders powers. You need extract the actual info more carefully, insert some iffs and cut out any pre or post mumbojumbo.

Good idea but the dropdown would get too big wouldn't it?
I know about the other issues you raised, not had time to fix it yet, maybe tonight.

OK, sorted out the problem with the spying units getting counted as defenders.
Also fixed the problem with errors when entering co-ordinates which don't exist, that was a biggie which I didn't think about due to lack of time and testing, thanks Robert!
I've had no time today due to a beehatch of a day at work, testing of all thing!

(and only oine line shows until one clicks on it) Remeber that hitting keys in keyboard jumps to the name. You could parse the lines show names like this: "015817 - 1:58:18" that way it would be easy and fast to enter the first few keys and pick up the wanted line. Other way would be enter several dropdowns (quadrant, sector and isle), but that too complicated i think.

Could you make the "Baits Bites" link at the top of the forums show how many islands are in the database somehow Robert? Or is it not worth the trouble?

OK, sorted out the problem with the spying units getting counted as defenders. Hmmm, I just pasted my report and the spying ship got counted as a defender. One solution of course is to copy from the part that says "defense units" and further down.

The problem with my proposed solution is that the date is not loged in.
Also, in the presentation section, the sail level (and maybe the remaining research ones) display only one digit, so a level 10 sail becomes level 1.
