Is there a way to make the email field on the contact forms required? I think this is the first time it has happened for me, but somebody didn't fill in their email address, so there is no way they can be contacted!
I see it pops up a nice little bubble in chrome, haven't checked which other browsers support it. I'll have WSN do that automatically for the normal required fields system for the next release (while still having the PHP-based incomplete messages too for older browsers).
As for a PHP method on the contact form, I'll look into that.

Well this could be a good spot to try out HTML 5's new "required" attribute:
<td class="optionscolumn"><input type="text" name="email" size="20" value="{EMAIL}" required="required" /></td>I see it pops up a nice little bubble in chrome, haven't checked which other browsers support it. I'll have WSN do that automatically for the normal required fields system for the next release (while still having the PHP-based incomplete messages too for older browsers).
