I have an event here:

http://boards.cityofheroes.com/calen...y=2010-9-3&c=1

I need some HTML code so users can add their character names for the events listed. Basically, each event should allow a user to self submit his or her character and have it display up to the max users allowed for each event.

Example:
Friday 9/3
Evening
Event: The Crystal of Serfina, Ice Mistral STF
Time: 7:00PM EST(2 hours)
Minimum Level: 35
Merit Points: 26
Team Members Allowed: 8
Meeting Location: Ice Mistral/Golden Giza, St. Martial

If interested, self-enroll here:

[Input text box][Submit button]
names up to 8 are displayed here
1.Diva Attitude
2. ...
3. ...
4.Lady Attitude
5 ...
6. ...
7. ...
8. Dynamica Attitude

Can these kind of things be created on this board?

OR

Can I have the submit button send me a private message from user?

Couple problems with your idea:

First, users like us can't post HTML to the forums.
Second, you're going waaaaay past what straight HTML lets you do. You'll need some kind of server side scripting language interaction and ideally some kind of database to handle this and you can't do that on the forums.

Same with the submit button/private message thing.

You could create such a system on an external website but that's probably not an ideal solution since it would involve getting hosting and all that, which has charges attached to it.

No, sorry.

Not sure, but I doubt it. You could subscribe to the thread, and then when you click the "USER CP" button at the top of the page, you'll see all your subscribed threads with new activity. That's really the best you can do (that I know of).
