Hi, I have the same problem with trying to find out what my syndicate has uploaded onto the server but I think I may have a compromise on server usage. Instead of having what Brian suggested (check range but for all files that have been uploaded) My idea would be more like the show file page (http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/show-file.pl) except you don't need to give a file name! Currently you have to be a mind reader and know how your syndicate member names the file:) (which isn't always totally logical) When you type in the user, it would list out the files they have uploaded. Ultimately it would be nice if you could view them so you can check when they have put more than one scan together. If that could work, an even better show file would be if you type in your syndicate name and all individuals that are assigned as your syndicate have their files listed out ( individual name - file name). How do you think that could work?
