Were you one of the ones who initally had an issue with entering your email address? I was successful right at 11am, and my automated email with the link to the registration form came from [email protected]. I'm guessing they had to reprogram their email system after this automation broke at the start, and used the support@ email address instead. But thanks, I'll watch for both of these email addresses.

Did all of the emails come from: [email protected] -- I want to white list it if so.

Yes it was, it's exactly how I did it. ????

Actually the biggest piece missing is usually the strategy, including security, before a finger is lifted for design or programming. But since managers here have little incentive to spend their budgets on such an invisible step, it usually doesn't happen.

See my comment on page 4 of this thread for a simple trick in the future if confronted by a date widget like this one.

Agreed! I've read that after the first dose of Pfizer you are 70% protected. That's good, but vigilance is a necessity. Even now back home my family, all double vaccinated with either Pfizer or Moderna, are careful around others.

In the future if you ever see a date selector widget like this an easy way to manage it is to select a date on the first page of the widget (like yesterday). It will enter that date in the proper format in the dialog box. You can then click in the dialog box and edit the date manually. As you do, the widget will actually update so you can certain you've edited your proper birth date. ????

Well to be fair, when they closed access to the database admin page there were just over 25,000 entries in the database (I was on the database admin page about a minute before it was hidden again). Fortunately for most people, most of the entries were probably only email addresses because by that time the site was throwing an error when entering email addresses. Note I'm not defending the open database, I'm mostly being facetious ????

You could very well be correct, however having seen the database while it was open to the world, it's simple to see which records contain the completed form and which do not. If they wanted a close-to-accurate number, all they have to do is count records which contain all fields filled in, instead of only registration ID # and email address (A record was added with the email address immediately on its submission, with a registration ID # being auto generated, and the ID # was used in the URL sent to people to complete the form). Of course, this number would include anyone who completed the form multiple times with different email addresses, but at least it wouldn't include the email-only records.
