    Any thots?

    Hi Sharon, that doesn’t look like a WordPress page, which is what we support here.

    Your best bet may be to find a general purpose PHP forum for this one.

    Sharon –

    I’d like to also say that this form is pretty insecure. You have nothing that will prevent spamming attacks via form injection (which your webhost will HATE).

    Get a better form. I have one for free on my website, actually (it’s been tested like crazy). Download and use it at will.
