  1. What is flash going to be doing exactly? Do users just type in their comment into a box and do you want flash to email the contents to you, or save it in a database for you to view later?Please describe exactly what you want flash to do and I can help you.
  2. Yea I live in California but even still the closest Honda Civic Si coupe in blue was about a 4 hour drive away from my house.It was definitely worth it though! I got a pretty good deal on it too
  3. I must say I can't believe how much Microsoft is stealing from other companies. The way rss works in IE 7 is a rip off of safari, tabbed browsing from almost every browser nowadays (but the others had it way before). But Why are we even mentioning this, Microsoft has been stealing ideas from other places for ages, just look at what Microsoft stole from mac in vista? Spotlight, dashboard, iCal, Mail... And no... Safari kicks IE's a**
  4. Well the problem with merging is if the user accidentally submitted the post twice the post would have the same text written twice in it, which in my opinion would be kind of inconvenient for the user to have to go back and edit it, but I guess it would be his fault in the first place that he clicked on the submit twice But I don't know, if eskimmer is a php coder, he should be able to write his own solution probably based on some of the ideas some of us members have provided for him.
  5. I hope you escaped out those single quotes out of your passwords!Perhaps after you post your website I'll try to see if its still vunrable by hax0ring it! Oh, and of course report to you what exploits i find... (or maybe not!) Haha.. Just kidding...
  6. On my forums I just have it set so you can't post more than once every 20 seconds. This prevents sombody who has a bad connection or accidently presses submit twice from actually sending the data twice becasue the second time would result in an error because that user just posted data less that 20 seconds before.
  7. I love the rand function in php, in most other languages like java, and js, rand dosn't take paramaters and it gives you a random float between 0 and 1, then you have to multiply and add to it and then top it off with a round to get the same result as the nice php random int function.
  8. Lol I hate that feature in IE. its so annoying to see the website controlling the gui of my system. Its great if your a web developer, but super annoying if your surfing that page. If you realy must though theres a quick and easy way to get around that and make it work on all web browsers. Use javascript and div layers to make a dynamic scrollbar for the page, and hide the real one by putting all of your content in a div layer and setting overflow to hidden, then have the scrollbar scroll up and down the div layer with the content in it.
  9. Well I'm glad to hear you regained use of your computer, I just wanted to comment to any people who may be reading this thread that Saint Micheal's method only works on mac os X. Os 9 didn't even have a terminal to get to in the gui and you had to run the comp under root which was super annoying.
  10. What? I guess I'll give you a: Thanks alot for stealing mayank's first line... I know posts don't count here so I guess its not like your doing in a board that counts but what the heck was the point of posting that word for word?
  11. Oh my god yes. I can't believe I didn't even see that. Sending the data through get would be a terrible Idea if you were to log in and somebody was watching the url behind you. If your form is set to post the data then thats where your problem is...
  12. Well first of all I'm pretty sure you're comparing in this if statement not assigning: if ($co = 1)so you would need 2 equal signs (==). I'm not sure what more I can do because I do not know any more about the contents of connection2.php, or what error you're getting but that might fix it. Also a note for after you get it fixed: You have a HUGE security hole in your code: $select=mysql_query("SELECT * from `users` WHERE password='$_GET[password]'");If someone were to enter this password: ' or 1=1 limit 1;-- they could get into any account they wanted to. I would have the password check for single quotes and escape them out otherwise your login is open for some major sql injection!

    The problem with the partitioner that comes with mac, disk copy (found in /applications/utilities) is it forces you to format the HD to partition it. If you know what you're doing in the terminal you can partition your external from there but I don't recommend it. If you check versiontracker.com they have alot of great free little utilities that can do this kind of thing. Find one that you can partition your disk without erasing it. I actually did the same thing with my mac, I installed ubuntu on a partition on my external and it runs great. Just make sure do download the ppc version. Make sure to partition your HD as FREE SPACE! Best way of installing after partitioning your harddrive it is to burn it onto a cd (if I recall the ppc version is a disk image that you can just use disc copy to duplicate onto a cd) , and restart your mac either holding the C key to boot off the cd, or the option key, and click on the picture of the cd as your mac boots up. The ubuntu installer is very user friendly and should find your free space and confirm you want to install there. Just press Ok and it should start installing.
  14. All new products start out really really expensive especially technology as significant as this. Did you notice the price of DVD's and their players when they first came out? Trust me these will slowly lower in price. And no Playstation shouldn't have just gone with dvd's when blu ray gets cheaper and everyone has it, everyone would have yelled at sony for not putting it in their machine. The question isn't blu ray or no blu ray, the question is blu ray or HD Dvd. One of them is certainly going to win, the question is which one. Different movie companies are going for different formats. It's the whole 8-track vs. tape thing all over again...
  15. I have yet to see the movie but I did find this immensely funny interview on youtube. Many people say its staged, personally I'm not sure either way so don't start yelling at me what it really is, all i know is its pretty hilarious. Just a quick warning: It does have some mild language so some of you might consider it nsfw.
  16. If it is a remake it makes sense that it's not numbered but why didn't they just number it anyway? It would make it so much less confusing... Did they run out of numbers or something, or were the too embarrassed to call it Halloween 28 or whatever number they're up to. Now how are you going to tell the difference if your referring to the original or the new Halloween? The fact that the title of this thread had to have 2007 written next to it to explain which sequel it was is just terrible.
  17. I have a Honda civic SI in blue! I even made my own thread for it here Here are some pictures of it
  18. Ok so I finally got around to taking pics of my new car: I donno, even tho they are both the same model, I think my car looks so much better than those internet pics i found in my first post :XD:
  19. I found the idea and all of the members comments quite interesting, but even without all of the security flaws, It would still annoy me having to log in this way. Typing my username and password is MUCH easier to me than locate it on your hard drive click choose and upload it to the server. I just plain prefer typing. Also If you are so keen on skipping the login process, all one needs its a browser with an auto complete feature and next time they visit the website they are automatically logged in without having to do anything at all. I noticed that everybody complained about the security features about this, but failed to mention how rather than being a nice time-saving feature, it actually would take more time.
  20. Sure no problem. I've been really busy lately so I haven't had time to do anything for it and my first year of college is in about a week so If you want you can even take over the project because I'm not sure how much time I'll have to be able to devote to trap. When I get a chance I'll pm you my code, or post it here. Right now I'm not at a computer with FTP capability to my website.
  21. It would be quite hard to change the time. I'd have to parse the string and have it perhaps convert it back into an int and convert it back? Eww sounds like a lot of work. The only reason it is a string is because the place it is getting all its info from is your profile. Perhaps if Xisto made a page of information that php could read easier I would have more control but I'm sure that none of the admins would want to bother adding a page just for something small like this. I might even get rid of the last active, and in its place add some other stuff. I am not sure yet.
  22. Yes I noticed this. I think for some reason its getting the time for GMT 0, but perhaps thats because a server is connecting to Xisto instead of a user. It isn't my time zone, so I am not quite sure where it came from, but I shall see if i can do something about it because I take in all the data as a string, so fixing it might be too hard to bother. Once I add some more stuff, I might make something where users can sign up for their their own image. We shall see...
  23. Alas I might be late, but it still is today so You cannot refuse it:

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

  24. Oh didn't notice such quick replies! All you had to do was ask jlhaslip. Your personal image his here: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ As I update the image yours will update too. Yes I know plenoptic it is kind of useless but alas it is fun at the same time!
