the favicon has to be 16x16, and 16 colors or b&w, or else you risk crashing internet explorer (yes i've seen it crash before just because someone made a 256color favicon.ico)

i like .uni.cc domains; you can have an unlimited amount of them under the one account. Also, they are 'real' domains, ie. you can set the nameserver for them. Also, you can set them to dynamic dns forwarding (if you want to host on your computer but the ip of it keeps changing) or website forwarding (forward to an existing site

i reckon that FileZilla is the best free ftp client... and it's opensourceif you have problems connecting to your ftp, try it without the ftp. at the start, eg. stickboarder.info instead of ftp.stickboarder.info (because sometimes, for some reason putting ftp. at the start doesn't work). Failing that, you can try logging on using http://www.net2ftp.com/ and accessing it through that

what do you mean by 'the link expire after one week'? do you mean that the website will shutdown or stop working in a week??

i love filezilla, it's just so wasy to use, and 'smart'. When i have to upload lots of files i just put them into the queue and leave it to upload. I used to use SmartFTP but it started crashing a lot, so i got rid of it. When i first learnt about FTP i used WS_FTP LE but now it seems too 'simple'

i use a program to create dhtml menus called 'AllWebMenus'. It's actually very easy to use and inserts the code into the html for you.

i use opera, it has heaps of features including popup blocking, tabbed browsing, security, cookie blocking, autocomplete thingy, download manager, in-built mail client, google search on address bar, in-built irc client, ..., ... the list goes on download it at http://www.opera.com/

i am hosting a free .info domain with Xisto (stickboarder.info). i think it might be case sensitive, although i doubt it. maybe the regisrar you used is incompatible (i used domaidiscount28 or something like that)

infrared is called infrared because it is just before red on the spectrum (it is NOT red!). Also, ultraviolet is called untraviolet because it is after violet in the spectrum.

cool thanks for the info i've now got 3 .info domains. Just out of interest, why are they giving them away for free??

number confirmation is actually a really good thing to put on any forum/members area. It prevents 'robots' from signing up millions of accounts thus bombing your server... It actually is pretty easy to make one in PHP, just get a background image and a font, load in the bg image and write some numbers / letters onto it. of course the php script calling it would need to know what the code is, to validate it.

I'm just interested to know how many people here know PHP. Please reply and say if you use it, what you use it for, etc.....

i suppose you could use this eg. on a child's computer, you dont want them accessing the system files. create a c: partition and a d: partition and put the programs on the c: partition then hide it.

what about wireless keyboards and mice... do they interfere with anything??

go into Internet Options and check the proxy settings. Also, if there is an option 'Automatically detect settings' or something like that, untick it as it usually causes problemsif you still can't fix it then i suggest you use opera

one way to speed up your computer (if you have an old one) is to get a shell replacement. In the system.ini file, you change the line "shell=explorer.exe" to another program. On my old 486 (which had windows 98 on it), to make it faster, i set the shell to "shell=progman.exe" which loads Program Manager from Windows 3.1 (yes it still exists in windows 98 and even in xp!). This made my 486 much, much faster since it only had 16mb of memory and explorer was taking up all of it (whereas progman.exe only takes up ~300kb)

i am really good at flash programming, i've made a flash chat program that interacts with a server written in Visual basic. if you need help with any flash stuff, you can just ask me and i'll help you--daniel

hi, i'm not sure where to post this, but the cPanel theme is missing a link to the help file. The help file is located at http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ or http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ For everyone that doesn't understand cPanel, the help file is REALLY handy

To access the webmail, go to http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ OR http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

JUST TO CLARIFY: Only traffic to your website (port 80) counts as bandwidth. Email, FTP and cPanel access don't count as bandwidth, but email storage is counted in your space limit. is this what you meant? daniel

7mb is just a bit big for my liking, bit it looks like a good tool. does anyone know where i can get a smaller freeware tool that opens different archives??daniel

can someone tell me what is new in php5, i'm not really sure what the differences are between php 4 and 5 (i use php 4.3.3).compiling scripts probably wouldn't be a good idea (unless you had a decompiler )

cool, thanks marijnnn for the link to net2ftp, it was just what i was looking for :)i just started writing something similar in PHP, but now there is no need to write it.

2xx codes = status3xx = redirect / proxy4xx codes = errors5xx = errorsthat's what i know from memory, it might be a bit different.

Why do you want to install PHP5 if you've already got PHP4??? Anyway, if you download the manual (in CHM format) it might have some information on running PHP4 and 5 together (i'm sure its got information on running PHP3 and 4 together, that info might help.Basically, you set .php and .php4 files to use the php4 cgi file and .php5 files to use the php5 cgi file. eg..php, .php4: d:\php4\php.exe.php5: d:\php5\php.exeor something like that. I suppose they could share the extensions folder, but i don't know much about php5, maybe the api is changed
