Module development and code questions

We import our user DB from a legacy database, which stores the password field in uppercase. As a result of this design, our core membership DB (external to Drupal) expects case insensitivity, and I want to make password logins case-agnostic on our Drupal site.

It would be nice if it could be configured to require minimum character types as well, but not necessary.

Hi! I've installed the Banner module, everything works fine except I don't get any click statistics! How do I enable that? (Number of views is displayed for each banner, but not the clicks).

Hey everyone,
This post is to solicit feedback in solving a problem that I currently have. I am assuming that I will have to build a module to do what I need, but I would like to get other people's input as early in this process as possible so I can make better decisions right away.

Here is my problem:
I am rebuilding a large community site that caters to backpackers (primarily in Europe). We will have a large amount of information (much of which will be user generated) that needs to be categorized to a location. For example, if I am traveling to Paris, France, I will want to get as much info about the things to do there and other peoples experiences as possible. Because of this I want most (if not all) of my content to be localized.

I have the following situation:

I want to show records from a table as follows:

(select id, name, age from person)

Name Age
name1 [ ]
name2 [ ]
name3 [ ]
name4 [ ]
. . .
nameN [ ]

(SUBMIT BUTTON)

Age are textfields associated with the names.

I want to validade all age fields, set invalid ones with red border and return only one message ("Fields marked in red are invalid") for all the inconsistent (not numeric and negative, for example) Ages.

I posted this over three weeks ago on "Post Installation" and got no responses...perhaps it is more complicated than I had thought...

I would like my users to be able specific info on, for example, all the theme parks they've been to. So for each park, I'd like them to be able to input info like the city, state, review, maybe even a photo.
