Is your name Miles? I figured it out by looking at your sig And I swear I didn't look at any of the other posts in this thread so I would have no idea if rvalkass already answered it but decided to give his winnings to someone else. So since I said I didn't look at any other post in the thread I feel entitled to some credits for getting it right.

I started typing a post for this entire thread but mainly replying to this part of EngrJanze's post when I suddenly realized it seemed very familiar, then I realized I was basically typing out the same thing that I did in a post a few weeks ago. So to save myself the trouble of typing this out again I'm just going to quote the top points of my previous post: Now going back to EngrJayze's post... First of all why do you want linux to conform and have a pretty GUI and all that other flashy stuff? The point of an operating system is to be functional, stable, and useful. Being "pretty" should not be a major concern. It may be to some and it may not be to others. And the some that do like their OS to have pretty GUI (like me), should be able to make it look how they want too. With Linux you can do this. Even If you have no programming experience you can still download premade GUI enhancers and modify them to you're liking, for example Compiz. Now getting back on track here. Yes I do think Mac os X's GUI looks nice, and it is a stable and good operating system, but I have to go through a lot to actually modify it. Sure they keep all of the system images where users can find them and modify them, which is more than I can say about windows...

Ehh... not exactly the first time. You should read some of my early topics when I was a little noob programmer and didn't really know anything. But anyway, I wouldn't really consider css as a programming language, or even as "code". Its more like "annoying text that makes your page not suck as much when you can get it to work but otherwise is just a pain in the..." well you get the idea.

Alright 20 credits goes to the first person to successfully solve my problem.I need a div layer who's position is absolute to be 100 pixels from the top of the window and 0 pixels from the bottom without it going over. I have lost all faith in CSS because it cannot do this simple task that I require it to do.Bonus points if you can get it to work on a div layer who's width isn't fixed.EDIT: oh yeah It has to work in all browsers too...

I don't know what much can be done without limiting legitimate users of gmail. I suppose there can be a limit to how much gmail will actually forward but if they set that limit too low, then legitimate users who may just need this feature would be affected. Too high and it won't do too much good. Many people would have already received the spam. If you understand anything about how the internet works you'd know that it is impossible for anybody to be "internet police" and "go around the net and deleting stuff". The only real action that could be taken against your website is finding and exploiting vulnerabilities in your server or code, or i suppose if your server was located in a country with no so free speech they could have a warrant to actually take your server away but this doesn't apply to Xisto. Your topic was most likely deleted because it was breaking one of the forum rules.

Hello dj281 and welcome from galexcd, in Los Angeles, USA. (sorry Mich I couldn't resist doing this in one of these introduction topics ) Anyway WELCOME to Trap! I know at first it may seem a bit strange posting when you aren't used to it and sometimes just don't know what to say but just pretend you are meeting a new person. Tell us more about yourself! How you came to find trap and why you decided to sign up and what (if anything) you are going to use your website for! Just be sure to read those board rules and you'll do fine! Ok you might actually want to follow them as well. Just having read the rules isn't going to keep you from getting in trouble Ok I might be scaring you so I shall stop for now. I will see you around the forums.

We should add Java coffee to this subforum. It would fit in just right. We could rename the subform to "Terrible things that nobody likes". Ah yes forget my original plan of putting javascript with ajax. This works much better.

Ahhhh! YES! I believe you are physically the closest Xisto member to myself. I live in Los Angeles CA and go to Cal State Northdrige. I'm glad that you have found a home here with us at trap. I also play TF2. I'll have to get your steam username and you can pwn me because I suck... Anyway I will see you around the forums! If you click on my controls at the very top, then click on Board Settings in the left menu, you can change that back to -8

Unfortunately my version of flash is too old to open that file you sent me. You will need to wait for another member who has a more recent version of flash to open it up and diagnose the issue for you. You might also get more attention if you asked a moderator to move this thread in Programming languages>other subforum because this most likely is an actionscript issue.

All very good points. But you must remember that this is Xisto, not Xisto. Xisto is more computer oriented and therefore have more specific subforums. The same reason why they have actionscript and we don't. We just don't have enough members into programming to make it so specific. If we had as many computer related subforums they wouldn't be very full.But I do suggest that we take javascript out of this subforum and rename the AJAX one to Javascript/AJAX. It fits better in that one.

So what exactly is it doing when you try to go to step 3? Where exactly did you get this script anyway? Perhaps its time to drop this script and go with one written by somebody more competent.

Unreal tournament single player has never been much good but the real gold in the game is its multiplayer. I played the original a long time ago and then played 2004 for a while, and I just recently downloaded the demo of Unreal 3. The graphics are stunning and the gameplay is amazing. It is definatly worth getting if you are into fps. Unfortunatly after playing 2004 for so long I decided to get TF2 instead of unreal just because unreal 3 seems almost exactly like 2004, with just some nicer graphics and some extra features like a hoverboard.

Well it looks like its more than just the step variable that is being passed through the url, so just so we do not have to keep diong this remove the $step=$_GET['step']; and replace it with the following code: foreach($_GET as $geta=>$getb) $$geta=$getb; This should resolve all of the problems because this line of code will forward all of the values in the get array to regular php variables. I DO NOT RECOMMEND DOING THIS NORMALLY. This can be a major security risk to your program if you do not know how to properly parse through your user's input. I am only recommending this in this case because it is the installer only, and the file will not be used after installing.

Yeah basically this was written for servers that automatically forward the get variable to regular php variables. Xisto doesn't do this for security reasons. All you should have to do is write $step=$_GET['step']; at the top of your code and that should fix it.

Removed per request

Well to make money you got to have clicks, and to have clicks you need to have two things. One would be a popular website that people want to go to, and the other is relevant ads to what the visitors of your sites are interested in seeing. If you just add google ads to pages that have hardly any content on them you will not get text ads that are important to your users. If you start forums, some kind of wiki, perhaps a blog, really anything with one kind of content (for example programming), and you will get users interested in that, and therefore have more clicks on your relevant text ads.

Ok that doesn't help me much but I think I kind of understand now. Did you make sure to copy all of the files over? If you did it is probably an issue with the code referencing a full url instead of just a directory. Perhaps if you gave us a link to your website and not the demo page we could help you out more.

It could be. Try opening up the swf of that clock and none of your other pages and see if you still hear the beep. Other than embedded sound files and flash i can't think what else it could be.

well you wouldn't be wasting user's time if you edit your post with the solution. And I do not mean editing your post to say "resolved please delete this thread". I mean after your question write the solution and then a moderator can modify the topic title to say [Resoloved] in front and users who wish to help do not need to waist their time, but by adding the answer behind your problem/question you are giving help to any of those who may be having the same issue as you. Just because you can figure it out doesn't mean everybody else can. If the topics are kept alive with their original questions they can benefit others much more than if you edit them or delete them.

yeah i must have been hallucinating.... for some reason I was seeing a post that some guy spammed some referral links in earlier today... Also I said second of all twice >.<

Dude, erikksonb do you not pay attention to the rules at all... First of all your websites are a waste of time and second of all those are referral links. = bad / not allowed... and second of all you just posted the same thing three different places in the forum. How do you spell banned? Oh yeah: J.L.H.A.S.L.I.P:lol: (credit for joke goes to SM)

Yeah there should be no real reason for your site to "beep" unless its coming from that media you have on it. Are you sure it happens on every page and not just the pages with the music on it? There is no other explanation unless you have some kind of swf that you have embedded on every page.... no doesn't look like that is it either.... or perhaps your web browser just hates you.

What is the action script action for that button you are using. And also could there perhaps be a button or movie clip behind the button that is set to go to your older site. Perhaps if you sent us the .fla I can take a look at it and tell you what is going on.

Bluebear pretty much has the basics covered. I was just going to poke my head in and welcome you like the old days when I used to welcome the newbies (ok that phase was only like a few months ago but for some reason I stopped and I should start doing it again). Anyway you should let us know more about you. We here like to invade your life and know every aspect about you Anyway no matter what your intention for being here, you are in the right place. If you are looking for easy to get free hosting Xisto is one of the best services I have seen and is the reason I initially decided to join. If you aren't looking for free hosting and just want a nice community to join, which is why I am still posting here now, Xisto is great for that too. It is a large community and everybody is nice and willing to help. Ok not everybody. We do have some :evil: members... like me BWAHAHhahahahahahahaha *Alex's laugh echo's through the walls of Xisto as he runs to his dungeon deep below it*
