MVC
After my previous post on getting AzureReader2 up and running with ImageResizer – I ran into a problem – I had a page with a foreach on it, where I had a link to each fullsize image. It was all working fine, except for a couple which just wouldn’t work. <a href="/cloud/blah-1/example... src="/cloud/blah-1/example.... /></a> <a href="/cloud/blah-2/hello%2... src="/cloud/blah-2/Hello%20... ......
So, I want potential clients to have to enter the least amount of info possible to get an account, to that end, I really don’t see the benefit of a username and email address, I’d rather just use the email address.
