well actually i'm done developing the websites now i'm just waiting for mycents to update!!i hope you'll like it,this community really rocks

Oh I was able to send in a support ticket to the guys and now i can see the mycents thingy on the left!!nice...thank you guys...all the best!!

You are indeed in the right place for creating a website that a community can grow to love and respect :)I'm happy to meet you and just in case you don't know how to go about creating this website, ask around in the forums and someone will sure help you.can't wait to see your website mate!!all the best!!

I love everything tech too!! lolwhen i grew up i used to be soo good in many subjects i didn't have one that i consider my favourite.but now i'm all grown up and if you consider web development to be a subject...then thats my favourite...then math!

I think an earlier post summed this whole thread up quite nicely: there is no such thing as right and wrong. Religious people follow the word of their God/s either because they seek reward in the afterlife, or because they trust them. Very little in the bible has to do with right/wrong, but how to lead a better life/appease God. That's why most people today are shocked by certain verses in the Quran and the old testament (and to a certain extent, the new) because many teachings go against our fundamental beliefs as people of the West. Mohammed tells us to murder Kafirs, God tells us to murder non-believers, certain Hindu Gods seem sadistically violent..etc

Saying Homosexuality isn't wrong because it's natural is like saying murder isn't wrong because it's in-built into humans. Neither are wrong, and yet neither of those phrases are right. It's certainly a head scratcher..

 

I think there's a lot of wrong there mate!

 

firstly, i used to be against homosexuality. then i realised there's really no one who can pass a judgement on what two (or more) adults decide to do something together. they should just do it...its for a more progressive society...one that accepts the points of views of many people and integrates em into daily life. with that said, since people know its behaviour that aint actually mainstream and a bit controversial...it has to be exercised in public with caution just like smoking, etc etc. but there's nothing wrong with homosexuality.

 

one thing i've noticed is that religious people have a hard time accepting a different opinion when it comes to anything. they're so quick to charge and its just so freaking sad. i sure do hope one day they get enlightened enough.

alright man...allow me to tutor you a bit.the thing is this, you started off on a high, just the way people should ideally start. way to go about telling her to find out later whether you had other female friends or not. this girl was obviously eyeing you and wanted to know her chances.now the next phase of attraction. you see no one , especially girls, wants someone who's not a challenge and so easy to figure out. you shouldn't have texted telling her you didn't mean to say she was lying and all that junk...nah...take a chill pill and be the man. is she does stuff like that, don't let the soft side in you show...tell her straight off you don't have any reason to lie and its immature of her to even bring that up. i know you probably think this will scare her away, but it won't. don't be another guy that sucks up to her...speak your mind and tantalize her to bring her closer. since you know she goes to work and studies at certain times, you should know when to call or text her...use this time wisely and act like you don't need any girl...like your life is so great whether she's there or not but you'd like it to be a bit involved too.don't act desperate and let her run all over you like that..girls are turned off by such behaviour and act like a toughie. if she texts and says she's at work...fine..don't go like alright we'll talk later blah blah blah...nah!! chillout, the thing is in such a scenario you don't want to send that message then she doesn't reply. worse she might not reply for days which will force you to text her again...now...sending two consecutive texts without a reply is a sign of desperation and eagerness to talk. chill out man, you got this.good luck with this girl and in no time she'll come running to you. even when she's sending clear signals of interest..be a challenge to her...be hard to crack.

oh thanks for that useful list. I'm using Chrome more and more these days!!

I have not tested both version but my bug tracker and exploit list have 17 reported exploits for PunBB in comparison to 3 exploits on FluxBB. The 3 exploits was common to both version so it is safe to assume that as of this moment, FluxBB is secure in comparison to PunBB and much better than PHPBB in terms of amount of exploits present.

 

3 years ago was the first time I saw SMF 2.0 beta and until now I have not seen any improvements.

 

Nuke was having a good review but it was a portal rather than a forum. Good thing is that a portal can be a CMS and Forum in one bundle.

 

 

**************

Drupal is fine and more secure in terms of how fast the exploits got fixed but some add-ons takes time to be fixed with exploit errors. The core on the other hand was rigid but not 100% secure but you are nearing to it. I will pick Drupal if I were you however for my own site I will use ModX cms which is an ajax system. I was writing with Modx for plugins and enchancements, that is my reason why I will pick it up.

 

Comparing Drupal with ModX cms:

Drupal is already rigid on what it will do which is a CMS

ModX cms is just a barebone skeleton system where you will define what your final ModX will be, shall it be a CMS, a forum or a Wiki.

 

Drupal is multiuser as default

Modx is single user until you patch something

 

Drupal module writing is hard at some point

Modx pages can be turned into a module, theme or whatever you desire

 

Drupal exist using modules to extend

Modx exist using snippets, breadcrumbs, libraries and modules to extend

 

To sum it up, Drupal is for common users who specifically have 1 set of defined needs while ModX was for advance users that don't want bulky things slow down their CMS.

 

I don't quite agree with some of the things you said of Drupal. I haven't tinkered enough with Modx but your assumptions or conclusions about Drupal are slightly off.

 

Drupal is already rigid on what it will do which is a CMS

Really? Drupal is so flexible mate. You can strip it down to anything, a simple blog or extend its functionality to power up huge sites. I'm not sure what you mean by rigid exactly but i've used drupal and i'm quite satisfied with its capabilities. Its only the mindset of someone who's supposed to change it that can be rigid and unimaginative, as far flexibility goes, Drupal is great.

 

To answer another question about which one is faster Drupal or Joomla!, i'd say from my experience Drupal although it needs careful server tuning if you add many things...but ultimately i've found it to be way better.

 

When it comes SEO, Drupal is stronger too.

Hello guys,I bought a zte tu25 4g broadband modem a few months ago about two actually. like most usb modems it heats up from time to time but i've tried to be cautious and when it heats up, i'd disconnect it for a few minutes. I've only left it connected on the internet to finish some downloads a few nights definitely less than five.however for the past two days, its not been holding connections well. its disconnecting after every few minutes and reconnecting. and when I plug it in for the first time, sometimes its not being recognized instantly. sometimes there's a pop up that comes up saying i should put it in a faster usb port...my head is in a whirl, i don't know what to do...is't faulty now? my isp is upgrading their network, could this be the reason? unfortunately i'm unable to talk to them right now..please someone help!!

Hi man!welcome to Xisto!! I'm happy to meet you and find your way around here.you'll find many people with the same interests and in no time if you become active, you'll get your hosting and everything you might need for your website.have a nice time mate.

I am being very careful with what I am a webmaster of or an admin or any other staff member of some sort. It is hard with 10+ websites however I seem to be getting good money from it so I am going to be sticking with it.

just out of curiosity, how much are you earning mate?

thank you for the warm welcome!!i'm happy to be here too! I have already registered on xisto but mycents haven't showed up yet??i'm clueless but i like this community already!!

I think unconventional is a big term.I see nothing that differentiates it so much from millions of other sites on the web today.however you did try something a bit simpler and left it looking bland.i'd advise you to add some colour and content...make it appealing. it looks a tad too blank right now but nice work. i like the fact you're pushing yourself to produce something amazing and unique.good luck with that matecheers!

hey ash,what's good man? its coolmac, we planned on working together sometime in the past and design websites lol. actually i'm the one who referred you here! lolanyways mate, let me see what the problem is:ah, from my understanding, it must have something to do with your mod_sec settings.you need to get in touch with your host and tell them you need: the rule 340163 white listed for [your domain] as its hitting a mod_sec rule.in simpler terms it seems like your domain was blacklisted. i advise you to have an active security team or beef up your security just in case something like this happens again in the future.good luck...tell me if it works or not.

And here we come to the problem. While I could probably try to build a CMS just for me (and I will do that in case I don't find a matching fit), there's just:

 

1. Too much work.

2. Too much nerve-wrecking around the most idiotic things.

3. Too much chance for a mistake.

 

I also tend to put more trust into people who "do" CMSs for a living than into myself, because I enjoy front-end programming more than the back-end.

 

As for tweaking Wordpress/Drupal, that would just take too much work, because (let's go with a list again ):

 

1. I would need to learn the file structure

2. I would need to pick functions that are important for the most basic functionality

3. I would need to do a lot of testing.

 

And also,

 

4. I would most probably screw up something, which would again make me go into the nerve-wrecking cycle. And I don't want that.

 

♠ ♥ ♠ ♥ ♠ ♥ ♠ ♥ ♠ ♥

Once again, I enjoy front-end programming over back-end.

 

wow, what a geek!

 

Most geeks i know (me excluded) crave for chances to get their hands dirty with code and figure out the most complex of things...but i'm a new breed of geek too, i like front-end wysiwyg editing type of thing.

 

I guess thats why I use indexhibit...its pretty solid. I recommend it mate.

i used to love soceer before i got introduced to football.soccer is a game that lacks a substantial amount of class. the players lack manners and just the decency to play a good game. its a disgrace to sport in general because it doesn't exceed at anything apart from making the players and everyone passionate about it look miserable.american football is a game of great passion and everything just happens the way its supposed to in sport. when someone gets injured, you know its for real not some phony act like whats rampant in soccer.in my opinion, football rules and as long as football doesn't evolve into a fair sport, its a crappy excuse for sport and wasting time.i used to love soceer before i got introduced to football.soccer is a game that lacks a substantial amount of class. the players lack manners and just the decency to play a good game. its a disgrace to sport in general because it doesn't exceed at anything apart from making the players and everyone passionate about it look miserable.american football is a game of great passion and everything just happens the way its supposed to in sport. when someone gets injured, you know its for real not some phony act like whats rampant in soccer.in my opinion, football rules and as long as soccer doesn't evolve into a fair sport, its a crappy excuse for sport and wasting time.

Hello everyone,
At the moment, I am looking to select a right combination of cms and forum software which can meet all my requirements for my new site, but, I am really confused in selecting the right cms and forum software duo for my site. So, I need everyone suggestions and opinions.....

As a cms, I have Joomla in my mind. But, as a forum software, I am totally confused. I am currently stuck in between phpbb and smf. Actually, yesterday, I tried both the forum software SMF 2.0 RC3 and phpBB 3.0.7 on localhost using wampserver. And, I found that understanding and using smf was really very easy in comparison to phpbb. I found both the phpbb and smf, very feature rich but, it was just that smf presented everything in a simple manner, however, I did not spend much time playing with phpbb 3.0.7 as playing with it was a bit hard, but, one thing is sure, probably phpbb is having more features at the moment......correct me if I am wrong.....

So, the reason for my confusion is that stable version of smf 2 is still not realeased, and I don't even have any idea when it will be realeased. As a result of which, I don't know which one should I select, old stable version of SMF 1.0.11, or phpbb 3.0.7 or smf 2.0 rc3......

Also, what cms would you suggest me to use with any of the above forum software.
Waiting for your suggestions.

Here are things which are in my mind about my site

1. Should be fast,
2. Less buggy and highly secured,
3. Highly customizable

So, suggest me right combination of forum software and cms.....
Thanks in advance

I was once in your position a few years ago. I was so into forums and wanted to join an open source project and be a part of it, help with the documentation and coding. So I joined SMf and things went pretty well. their software was very user friendly and i got into developing mods and all that stuff there.

what happened was that things crumbled after a few months. smf is no longer as stable as it used to be. the top management is constantly at each others throats and a lot of developers jumped ship and join ipb which is a commercial product by the way but the cheapest at the moment.

so i wouldn't recommends smf. their smf version 2 has been in development for so many years i don't even know if its done yet. the last i checked it was around 3 years. so its not surprising if they now lag even behind phpbb.

as far as a cms solution is concerned, i'd recommend drupal which is what i'm using now. its not for newbies though but its the coolest and the most scalable in my opinion. i have a history with joomla but drupal is just awesome.

try mybb for a good forum. i'm not sure how advanced their features are now but the last time i checked, it was pretty good.

goood luck..i'd recommend joomla with mybb if you're still a newbie to web development/design and customization.

all the best

I've already seen this Indexhibit app, but thanks anyway since I've forgotten about it since.

To answer your second question in short, making things "hard" doesn't make them more geeky. But stripping them down to the bare essentials might. And they definitely will not replace Wordpress or Drupal or Joomla or anything similar to them, no. All of these CMSs you've listed are excellent systems, probably with no or very little flaws.

They're the sort of stuff you'd use in your "normal" website installation, give to your clients or use by yourself. However, since I want to have a really simple blog/CMS I don't require any additional functionality. I just want to show XY posts on my homepage, and I'll have no problem hard-coding paragraphs, headings and what have you in HTML markup.

So I don't see why should using Wordpress (~7MB, requires a database) be better than, say, Stacey (~2MB, no database required) when they are both easily understandable, have "custom keys" (which I need) and do the "same job."

Once again; you could argue Wordpress has an easier/prettier interface, better text editor (which I don't use anyway since I write "locally") or a bigger (huge) community - which are all true - but I don't need any of these.

So, to repeat myself once again: I'm not trying to use a clunkier or uglier or harder CMS just so I can brag how I'm using a "geeky" content management system, but because that's all I need.

I hope you understand my thinking here. If not, shout and you shall be heard.

i understand your needs to a degree.

but if you're so geeky, then i take it you can either build your own that fits your description or strip down wordpress or drupal to the bare minimum.

A small digression from the original topic:

 

Remember how we started talking about Ruby somewhere in the discussion. No? Check the last post. Well, anyhow, Nettuts+ has published the first of many parts in a series of Ruby development so I suggest you check it out in case you'd like to learn a few things. The first part is titled "Ruby for Newbies" and covers basically only the download process and a few basic rules of Ruby.

 

♠ ♥ ♠ ♥ ♠ ♥

So, why are you still here? Go check it out. https://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/ruby-for-newbies-installing-ruby-and-getting-started--net-15116

 

I have never tried Ruby in all my life.

 

Funny how i just fell in love with php and never tried other languages. if there was one i'd want to learn, i think it would be python because i'd love to develop for mobile platforms.

 

but i'll sure find sometime to check out that great tutorial.

 

thanks a lot for sharing mate.

hi guys,i've just joined the forums! I'm real glad to be part of this community.I major in web development and design has occupied my time of late as well. I use Drupal and will be launching my first web design agency after like two years of planning. I'm here to get hosting and share the little that I know with the community.By the way, i'm 21 years old! and i'm a guy. lol
