Anyone Want to Beta test my new feature for thybag?

http://thybag.co.uk/index.php?p=tdc

About it
Its a user maintained dictionary system, in which users can add and edit words freely. As well as then read the definitions.
Ajax is used for much of the updating and editing.

All you need to use it is a thybag account and to be logged on to it. You need to be logged on to use it for obvious security reasons.

Once logged in, feel free to add, edit and update it to your hearts content.

Useful info
Placing words in double square brackets links it to the word inside the system.
aka [[hello]] would be changed in to a link to the definition for hello.

Just type a word in the box on the index page to see if it exists or if you wish to add that word, which is an option if the word is not found.

There is a logging system and people that purposely abuse the system and ruin other peoples work will be banned, although at current the stuff in its all crap so theres not much to ruin :D

Testing
If you find a problem, for example it doesn't work in your browser or there an error when you try to do something, or even if you find a security flaw. Please tell me here.

Please provide as much feed back as possible, suggestions for improvment, ideas for more features etc etc.

Reminds me abit of Urban Dictionary and Wikipedia cos that's exactly what you can do on there. This a great idea Carl:o But you might need to watch out for the more immature users of Thybag/wherever you advertise.

If you click any word then click back on usinghttp://img118.imageshack.us/img118/2333/toolbaria7.png it will not take you back to the Thybagsionary Index.

Yea, its kinda what its themed on, although its much more basic and fits in under 200 lines of code :D
The idea was a very simple wiki style thing that would be very interactive for users.

Plus thats why i implemented the logging system so i can see exactly whos doing what, and recover ruined entries if need be. Although the logging system is a little less advanced than i expect wikipedia has and could be described as quite manual :p

Nope, thats becuse its all loaded threw ajax and i haven't yet implemented a system which can track back buttons... becuse normaly by the method used it worldnt happen.

for now there is a text link back anyway "/

Suggestion:
Try to add, instead of 'edit', an 'add' link. The system can be easily abused... someone can just delete all the entries...

But looks awesome. :D I love it!!

Im confused, do you mean a more urban dictionary style approach, where words have many definitions each added to the end? as opposed to teh wiki style of editing a single definition ?
