  1. Heres a future advice:Never keep copies or backups of data stuff on harddrives!!!I have had a few harddrive problems myself, and when I finally got a cd burner, I was really happy. Now I burn all my important data stuff to cd, and sometimes I make more than 1 copy of the cds.. Safety caution you know
  2. Im afraid I cannot vote any of those browsers because I use Netcaptor. It is a widely used browser. I have used firefox, but you cannot seem to get plugins for the websites as they dont have a site with plugins set up yet. Netcaptor has almost all of the things you have used, so far I have not seen transparency. The thing I truely like about netcaptor, is that the tabs are on the bottom of the browser, wheras all the others have it on the top. I think you can move your tabs to the top altho I prefer it at the bottom. They have both free, and paid versions of netcaptor.. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ if you wish for more information
  3. It also depends on how much money you wish to spend on a software. There are many great programs out there for graphics that are costly, or reasonably priced. As well as there are several good graphic programs that are free out there. As the guy above me said, it depends on the quality of graphic artwork you wish to do. I have found jasc paint shop pro number one on the reasonably priced range, and Pixia as the number one free graphic program. It all depends what you wish to do with your picture
  4. Programming requires alot of patience, and knowledge in C, C+, C++. Java, etc. I have tried a little programming, and to me, it is hard. I found the graphic designing is far easier, if you know what artwork you wish to create. All you need is a paint program to create such graphics and alot of your imagination creativity. So I must conclude I find that I can do alot better with graphic designing, then I would in trying to create programs or softwares, or any text style work on webpages. I have found that if someone wants to learn to do programming, the best start would be either to go back to school, or a text based mud game source code.
  5. I bought the Cool I-pad graphic tablet. It comes with wireless pen and wireless optical mouse.. I paid in canadian $75 dollars. I have enjoyed it very much and it works great. It has a USB plug to the tablet itself. Pen and mouse requires 1 triple "a" battery each
  6. Actually, Netcaptor started out with tabbed browsing for many years, even before mozilla and opera added it to their programs... That being said, Firefox is not exactly designed for the people who have just started getting onto the internet for the first time. Remember, the site did say it has continuous updates of fixing bugs, and finding new bugs. Firefox is a more reliable browser then netscape or IE that I found so far, however since I paid for my netcaptor program, I do not need to have another browser. For the truly new users, I would recommend Netcaptor or Mozilla.. I have no clue how Opera has changed since I last used it 7 years ago (very slow, and very sloppy then), unfortunately I know Opera is not free or cheap. Netcaptor has a free version, and it does not interfere with your ability to browse in any case. If you pay for it, you get free upgrades all the time.. thus you only pay a 1 time fee for it. Mozilla is free, but it does have its drawback - a.k.a not fully bug-free.
  7. Is there a site that can show you how to manually create a shoutbox or guestbook without having to use other companies or other services??? This guestbook would be kept onto the same site as the rest of the webpage, and then when it reaches a certain number of entries, only the oldest half of entries gets copied onto the text file for the owner to download, then removed off of the guestbook to preserve space? I am really interested in getting information as to doing that so that people will not get saddled with guestbook servers that could be down too often.Thanks
  8. The games that I have found, which is very few, are quite enjoyable, especially for the imaginative mind. Personally I think that each person has a different type of what sort of mud games they wish to play if they want to get involved. If you like to have pk (aka player killing, where you can kill other players), questing and other things, you can try Aardwolf there at http://www.aardwolf.com/ .. I have not played alot of muds so I can only give some information about a few... Text based mud games, is almost like reading a book, except you get to participate in it, and you can create your own vision of how to interpret the game.http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ three I listed above are the ones I have played so far.. I have not yet found many others that I enjoyed.
  9. I could only see the second one.. Lovely background in tune with the cosmos setting. Keep up the good work (assuming you made them) I hope you will share more background pictures
  10. All programs will close if there was a crash.. No matter how manyof them you have open will close.. IE is ok however I would recommend using other browsers that are available that is much better then IE or better then Netscape. Talk about slow browser there. hehe
  11. Wow, Those pictures look great. Did you use the tablet or just the mouse to do your artwork in? :PI have used adobe photoshop, but only a trial copy since I know I can never afford the full copy. So instead I use Jasc programs for my graphic art. How do you mean by "am open to fufill someone's desire to have one"
  12. Frontpage is good to use if you are a beginner. Once you have mastered in creating good webpages, you can then turn to other webpage designing programs that are more complex and challenging.Many people prefer Dreamweaver, and some prefer other softwares that can do as much or less or more then dreamweaver. It is all based on a person's preference.
  13. Thank you for the information. I am currently trying to get my webpage worked on so that I can post it on the internet Since I am posting now and not having a webpage available, that is fine as it gives me time to prepare for all that I need :PThank you again for the information
  14. Hi, I have a question I would like to ask before I make any serious commitment.. Many website hostings that I have looked at, does not allow that you can have some zip files for others to download if they so wish to use the files.. The zip files I am referring to is that I wish to make more personal websets or even graphics onto the site, and if someone likes it, they could download it for free. Is this allowed on this hosting? I would only do a small portion of it, I take pictures with my digital camera and make websets from the pictures I have taken from around my home and whatnot. I hope this would be allowed as I really do enjoy making simple websets :POtherwise I will be devoting my personal pages to help others with the game I play :PThank you for your time to answer :oZandramas(Sorry I posted this on the wrong forum. I saw that I posted it too late before I realized my error)
  15. Does anyone know if there are freeware web page tools out there that are simple to use?? The newest dreamweaver that I checked out is just a bit too challenging for someone who does simple webpages for personal use. Raw html just does not turn me on. So if anyone can lead me to a simple frontpage-like webpage tool for creating simple webpages, I would really appreciate it. I have used netscape communicator years ago (before they got too big of a file), Frontpage, and Dreamweaver of the older version.
  16. I am only using a 60 gig and a 8.4 gig. My 8.4 gig is a backup section and VERY full.. and my 60 gig is already half ful.. I need more space, or rather a new bigger second harddrive. I no longer download software onto my C: drive in case there might be a conflict. Everything on my D drive so I can scan before I open *grin* Talk about someone protective of her computer hehe.
  17. A shoutbox is definately a great thing to have, or a blog that people can post suggestions, or just have a general quickchat. I think a small forum on the website would be great, for those who wants to help review or offer suggestions to what is great to have or what is great to use. One advice I always wanted to share, "please make sure your website is simple to navigate and easy to read" I have seen alot of website where people have tiny fonts, light background with light text *wince* and vice versa.. I also find that too much animations and large graphics can really slow down the person's desire to check out the site, if they have to sit and wait for a long while for the page to load up.
  18. You could also try Netcaptor. I have mentioned in the other post how much I really liked it. They have the freeware and the paid versions. Netcaptor does tabbed browsing, it is fast for loading up, the ease in using bookmark and the import/export is very easy, there is no popups, or at least it lets you know there was a popup but its blocked. Opera is expensive, and its not all that nice as a browser, and I have to agree Mozilla browsers is much nicer.. Netscape is too slow, and too bulky for my taste
  19. I agree mozilla is good program, I use Mozilla Thunderbird for my emails since the outlook client causes me too much problems.
  20. My favorite browser is Netcaptor . I bought it and have never looked back. They do have a free one as well.. As for messenger programs, I am currently using Trillian. Does anyone know of any other icq-like programs that can do chat the way it used to be before messenger came to it?
  21. My favorite browser program is Netcaptor. Can be found at http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/. Netcaptor is the first browser that I know of, since I first searched for a reliable browser 6 years ago, to have tabbed browsing. It also stops popup ads and whatnot. They do have a free version that you can use or you can pay for it. I paid for mine 6 years ago, and have never looked back. Things I like about Netcaptor:1) Tabbed Browsing2) Popup blocker3) fast loadup4) Did I say tabbed browsing?? :oNetcaptor is based on Internet Explorer, btw. I should have mentioned that at the beginning
  22. Microsoft Gif Animator is fairly simple to use, and is free as well.. I have found it while practicing doing an animation graphic from a tutorial on a site, and the site recommended Microsoft Gif Animator.. I have made an animated picture, using my own digital camera, some tubes for the Paint Shop Pro for glass and base, and generally used the ms gif animator to get the animation done. Very simple, and free. You can find them at a fair number of download sites.
  23. Hey all. I thought to add a new thread to see if anyone else would play a text based online game. I play on a few of them, the most is usuall AVATAR. Does anyone else here play text based games? If so, what is your favorite mud? My favorite is AVATAR Hope all is well. Zandramas.
  24. I have played Diablo II and including the expansion pack.. I am hoping that one day I can get Sacred since I do like the 3rd person viewing of the game rather then the first person view. I really enjoyed Diablo 2 and Nox.. I have not had the chance to play Darkstone well because the game will not let me playit under windows xp. I am truly looking forward to seeing how Sacred will fit with my interest in games since I have gotten to enjoy Dungeon Siege and its expansion pack as well. :PSince I mentioned of Dungeon Siege, I wonder how much better Dungeon Siege II will be in compared to the first one
  25. If you are looking for the best program for Graphics. I would like to recommend a program that is free, and about as good as Jasc Paint Shop Pro. The program I have used, is called Pixia. It is free and they do have an english version of the program.. Otherwise if money is no object, then there are endless amount of softwares that are available. I try to go for what works best for me in the graphic department.Hope that helps for some information.
