overture

i am thinking about £75.00 as my limit at the moment.

I think you just have to delete the post in the second topic, that should delete the second topic, at least this was what i did at my previous host i think the principle is the same.

What help do you need if any. I see you have created a lot of topics, all of your posts need to be over 2 lines to get a valid post and increase your post number (incase you were wondering why your post count wasn't going up)

I am planning on getting a graphics tablet and i cannot offord the really expensive ones like the highly respectable Wacom Tablets, so i was wondering which are the good not expensive but no inexpensive tablets out there, if anybody as a good one that works for them i would like to know. Thanks

You do not have to create 50 Topics, you just have to post 50 posts whether they be in your own topics or others. To be counted they have to be good posts no yes or no answers, at least a couple of lines. It is not that hard to post 50 posts i have nearly done it, just post replys to things that you know the answer to or give options to how they could help themselves. If you do not know simply do not post. You will get 50 posts in the end. if you need urgent hosting just post 10 really good posts and apply for the starter package.

Perhaps some explanation would be good for your tutorial, maybe to show that you know what it all means, but most importantly letting others now what each part or line does so they themselves can learn.

SinisterMinisterX: yes the 'text-decoration: none;' does take the underline away from links if specified on different states for the link ie: link, active, visited. most people now do not use links with underlines on only when they hover over them does the link appear which gives the viewer the notification that it is a link. This is some example code, which many people use, kind of the norm for text links now: a:link, a:visited, a:active { color: #000000; text-decoration: none;}a:hover { color: #eeeeee; text-decoration: underline;}

dissipate, i was talking about leeches witch attach themselves to downloadable files which when clicked use up your bandwidth, as i know someone who had 20 gigs of bandwidth used in a few days due to them. i was wondering how to stop them, would the way you suggest work for downloadable files, like .zip/.rar/.exe...edit:would i have to change the extension types, like you have put gif|jpe?g

So the way i understand it is, when the user right-click and goes to save as they will be saving the transparent gif rather than the main image. If so that is a novel idea, you come up with it yourself?Although if someone wants it bad enough they will just screen print it. Unless you get software to stop that which i know is available.

i have to agree but some people have to learn these things by trial and error. People have to try new things and then get feed back on what is good or what might drive people away from their site. And having a pop-up which instantly loads the moment the page is opened is not a good idea, only for the reason that everyone will instantly close it, whether it contained important information or not. It is best to just have a text link saying 'make this your homepage'.

what program are you using. i think you could just try going to Edit | Paste/Copy?if you are using Photoshop you can open the image you want to be insterted into your new document make the image to paste active just click and drag it onto the document you want it to be pasted into.

you can just create a new layer with the word 'Preview' or 'Sample' on it, repeat it all over the image if you need to, and set the opacity value to about 20%.

What do you mean by the 'boundaries', if you want the inside to become transparent in a gradient style, you can make the selection copy the selected area, with the selection still selected paste it on another layer, now click back on the original layer go to Select | Modifiy | Contract and set it to 1. Then press Delete, now with the pasted layer selected click on the Add Layer Mask icon in the layers palette, now press D to reset the colours to black and white and the the gradient style you want (Linear, Radial...) and click and drag like you would normally, you will see that the black of the gradient makes the part covered in it disappear and the white is what is left visible. This is the basic way you can do what you want although i am not sure what you required. If you want the outside to be transparent, then just invert the selection (ctrl + shift + i).

you could try and make a selection of the side of the body/face which you want to be lit up, and then you could feather it perhaps, this will make the light appear to fade off somewhat, and there shouldn't be a distinct line. I have not tried this so i think you should experiment a little.

It seems to work fine for me, i made the selection with no trouble. Instead of using the Magnetic Lasso tool use the Polygonal Lasso Tool. I cannot think what might be causing your problem, there may be a corrupt file somewhere relating to the Magnetic Lasso tool. I am not too sure.

no problem, to change it back you can either press 'Caps Lock' to cycle through the available cursor types (cross-hair and Brush Size) or you can go to Edit | Preferences | Display & cursors and choose you cursor.

I recommend placing the ads in the news section of your site. If you have on the main (homepage) page some updates about your site or whatever, then place an add under that. Do that for every 2/3 news updates. does that make sense? lol

POV-RAY is a great one, many people use it now, it can create great graphics.

you can make classes in CSS like this: .red { background-color: red;}.yellow { background-color: yellow;} and for each row you want red add this to the <td>: for yellow add this: class="yellow"<td class="yellow">

you can delete the doctype all together if u are not bothered about being standard compliant which you really dont have to deal with. all the doctype does is state what version of html you are using whether it be strict or transitional, i will give you the tag which deals with i-frames and frames if you want to use it it is up to you. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN" "http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; I am not sure why but the 100% does not work. This is my hack to get the 100% height to work for you: this is my code that works fine: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; <html><head><title>100% height/Width</title><style type="text/css"><!--body { margin: 0; padding: 0; height: 100%; min-width: 600px; min-height: 100%;}--></style></head><body><table border="0" bordercolor="white" width="100%" height="100%"><tr><td bgcolor="#00ff00">100% width and height</td></tr></table></body></html> anymore trouble post here.

ok to do this you can add this in your style sheet which will affect all images: img { Â Â Â Â border: 0;} that will make it so that any image which is a link will not appear to have the blue line around it or you can do this: <img src="images/name.jpg" width="" height="" border="0" />just add the border="0" to the image tag, you would have to do this for all images if u dont do it the css way.

you can just put them in a single css file and do this for each table row or column: for the dark table links you can do this: .darklink a:link, a:active, a:visited, a:hover { color: #ffffff; text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold;}the links become light as the background is dark. for the light table links do this: .lightlink a:link, a:active, a:visited, a:hover { color: #000000; text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold;}the links become dark as the background is light. now all you have to do is on the table row or column which is dark add this to it: class="darklink" for the light column or row do this: class="lightlink" hope that helps some.

ahhh, thanks for explaining MC, i understand now. a little explanation goes a long way .

I am just wondering what this would accomplish. What would this do once they are on, or what extra functions would be available to the user if any?

Does anyone know if there is a way to stop leeches from attaching themselves to files and stealing the bandwidth? could it be done with a specific meta tag or is something else required?
