    Bye & Hello

    Now seriously jay, I can't see jake being wanted here, he is an annoying brat sorry who will probably get your forum account banned. DON'T tell him about me and my name on here, it was hard enough puting up with him before.Are you allowed to sell ur hosting account? Surely you wont be allowed to.
  2. I know this isn't what is wanted but it's seriously the best mp3 player ever!iPod Touch!!!I have one and it's so good! I use it for the internet more than music but it's great for both! I've only got the 8gb one but that's enough for me. They just released a 32 gb one a while ago.But yeah, iPod touch is the best in my opinion, not just because of the touch feature but it's all round great! You can watch Youtube videos from the home screen and access iTunes from the home screen and it has Safari for the internet.
  3. Thanks, that works now! I added else{echo " 0";}to it so that it shows 0 if it can't find it!
  4. My brother is so excited about this game :lHe plans on getting it the day it comes out, just like with his wii, his DS and super mario galaxy, he got them all the day they came out. I only bought a DS the day it came out.
  5. I've never liked Drupal, I don't think it's very powerful and it doesn't even come with a WYSIWYG editor, you have to download one! I also find it a bit hard to use, I know how to use it because I tried using it but I didn't like it and I've been using Joomla ever since and I've gotten so good and learned so much about it!I really like the "garland" theme Drupal comes with though, that's something the developer can be proud of!
  6. Nero is the only program that will burn ISOs for me for some reason, my cd drive is almost stuffed but it will still work with Nero.I've found Nero 8 to be quite buggy and I prefer Nero 7 to be honest.Nero isn't exactly that expensive, it's in the price range of I wanna buy something that seems cool for me!I've used alot of free burning programs, they can be quite complicated and take years to burn something, I like how Nero is quite easy and is alot faster than other programs!
  7. I'm starting to think maybe learning PHP will be the best thing for me to do! I'd like to start making my own components, plugins and modules. Then I'd eventually like to make a CMS that does what I want and what other people would like!About the wrappers... why does it use an iframe? I don't know if I could stand an iframe on my site! Couldn't it use an include or a file_get_contents?Although I'm still going to be looking for a better CMS, I will probably use Joomla until I can find one. It does a great job of what it's meant to do (content management) and that's all they really have to do!I was reading on the Joomla forums around the thousands of requests for for Access Control Level and they are planning on making Joomla 1.6 where that (and probably bug fixes) is it's main feature.What I'd really like to get is Bitrix Site Manager (https://www.bitrix24.com/) but I don't know if I'd really want to pay that much for a CMS on a site that's going to last 2 years tops and it's more for commercial use, not a site for a community of about 3000 people.So anyway I'll keep on using Joomla and I'm going to start learning PHP again soon, I hope what happened to me with CSS can happen to me with PHP (I just couldn't learn it and once I tried again and it just came to me and I learned like all of it in a couple of hours!). I'd like to make a comments component, forms component, private messenger and an ACL if they don't have one built in by the time I get round to it!
  8. Well as some of you may know, I've been playing around with Joomla for a while. I've also gotten really good at it! Now though, I'm finding Joomla isn't up to it in the way of features. You have to get a component or plugin for almost everything. Seeing as Joomla 1.5 (which is what I'm using) isn't all that old, there aren't enough extensions for it and like none for what I want. Also, most people make them under the Creative Commons license for 1.5, and I don't want stupid little ads all over my site. With the old version (1.0.13 I think), the world was your litterbox (lol), there are heaps of things to do what I want and they are under the GNU General Public License. I'd rather not use the old version. So anyway, I'm looking for another CMS that is powerful and has the things I need built in. I need: Mail forms (for applications and contact and competitions) Access Control (there will be different "staff" doing different jobs and I only want certain people to be able to edit certain things) Along with a news article type system, I want to be able to just make single pages where I can just link to them in a menu. I know you can do this with Joomla but it is still an article type thing) Although it doesn't matter if there isn't, I suppose I can do without it, a table setup for a page, you can set up how many columns and that you want and you can just add things and it will show it in a cell and expand the rows when it need to. I also need it to do standard things, a poll, a members type thing, customisable menu and that. Before I go on, I'm going to say that if I knew enough PHP, I would do it myself, but I don't. I also need to be able to make my own template and be able to put things where I want them. What I like about Joomla is how easy it is to make templates. Anyway, I found a CMS, Sitellite that seems to be good, I haven't tried it out yet but I think it might do most of what I want! Has anyone here tried and used Sitellite before, what do you think of it? I've also been looking at ezPublish and thought it looks alright, except the installer is impossible on my own computer, I haven't uploaded it yet. So does anyone know of a good CMS that does what I want (doesn't HAVE to do the last thing though) and is preferably free or under $100? Don't exactly want to pay if I don't have to though. Sorry for the long post, I just really need a CMS that's right for me! By the way, PHP and MySQL is preferable, I DON'T want anything with text files!
  9. If you want to get on google.com without it redirecting to your country then add /ncr to it, like https://www.google.de/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=QF00VNijNKGH8Qfg64CQAg&gws_rd=ssl. It stops it from redirecting.You could just use a proxy from the country that you want to pretend to be searching from!
  10. I personally hate the gimp, lol.I downloadedca trial of paintshop pro photo x2 and I'm really impressed with it! I've been thinking about buying it too. Its like $200 Australian which is pretty cheap for what I'd can do! You could buy that if you wanted a commercial graphics program but not as expensive as photoshop!
  11. Paint.NET for sure! http://www.getpaint.net/ I use it like everyday, I have Photoshop but I ditched it along time ago for paint.NET, it's so good! You'll need the .NET framework for it to work which you can download free from the Microsoft site. Although I only really do pixel art, you can do alot of good stuff that Photoshop can do just in a different and more time consuming way.
  12. That works, it doesn't show the error!Except... it's still stopping the modules and component and the Joomla header and everything else after it from loading.Which basically means that when Habbo is down, my site is down which is quite annoying. I know other fansites use the same code and it doesn't do it for them, but they aren't using a CMS, the most they use is Cutenews for their news.Anyone know how to make it load other things? PHP (well the Joomla things) and anything (content and images etc) after the code doesn't show.
  13. Sorry for being a pain and not knowing much PHP, I'm not that brilliant at it.Anyway, can anyone help me with this little code?<?php$online = file_get_contents("http://www.habbo.com/habbo_count_xml.action;'>http://www.habbo.com/habbo_count_xml.action;) or die(" 0");$onlinee = trim(strip_tags($online));echo $online;?>All it does is show how many people are online on Habbo Australia. It works, except when Habbo is down (it is now because the servers carked it) it gives me this.Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.habbo.com/habbo_count_xml.action) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 503 Service Unavailable in /home/habfront/public_html/templates/habbo_front_1/index.php on line 132It still shows the 0 for when it dies except how do I get it not to show the error?There's also another problem with it, well I'm using Joomla and when Habbo is down, along with the error, it also stops the component and modules and that from showing which is really annoying.So how do I make it so it doesn't show the error and just shows the 0 and the whole site will work properly?Once again, I'm a PHP nub!
  14. Templates are easy to make! Just make one like normal with CSS and XHTML. You've probably played with something before where you use things like {content} or {name} to show something. With Joomla to show things just change them to things like <jdoc:include type="modules" name="left" /> and things like that. The name is the position that you have to specify in the templateDetails.xml file, which is also easy to make. http://compassdesigns.net/ << That's where I learned from!
  15. I have 2 pcs, a 4 year old Acer and a god knows how old IBM which I don't and can't use at the moment because I only have 1 monitor.On the one I use (the Acer) I have windows XP which I mainly use and another hard drive in it with centOS 4.3. It's a pretty crappy computer, lol.I'm trying to save up for an iMac at themoment except it's not going too well (lots of other things I'd like to buy at the moment and trust me, if there's something I want and I can afford it, I'll buy it, LOL).
  16. After you wrote this yseterday I did look at my usage and didn't realise something. I looked again later and was shocked to see I've used 80 mb and it just keeps going up without anything happening.All I have on my account is Joomla without anything really on it (a 0.88 mb database) and a 12 mb backup of an old version of my site.What's using the rest?Then I wondered about emails, there's nothing that big on the accounts. So I'm wondering if when you put a quota for email accounts, does it automatically take it off your space? That's the only thing I can think of.
  17. I've been using Joomla 1.5 ever since RC3 and I've really loved it and I'm glad that 1. I chose to use a CMS and 2. I chose to use Joomla!What I'm not entirely happy about is the lack of components avaiable for it. I know it will take people time to make them so I'm not going to get that angry.I think Joomla needs to do more out of the box. It's perfect for what it's actually meant to be, a content management system, but it could be better by having things built in. I think an ACL (access control level) should definately be included and from memory they were going to make Joomla 1.6 just to add one. There aren't even any plugins or anything for Joomla 1.5 to do it yet. I think it should also come with a comments system as it seems to be like a standard thing it should have and something I really need.Joomla overall is a great CMS and I highly recommend it, but it just needs some more built in features.
  18. Do you have any big databases on there? Because they can take up alot of space.I'm not sure if the database space is included in the disk space or not, it doesn't seem to. Just check the database usage.
  19. I'm going to add another section here which is very important to me anyway.Graphics:Paint.NET - Even though I have photoshop, I still use this for all my graphics work. It has some great features and works really well. I've got around 50 plugins for it now and they really add some functionality to the program! You can do most stuff that you can do in photoshop but just in a different and more time consuming way. Once you learn how tonuse this well, you might ditch photoshop like I did!The only freeware I really use is paint.NET and Firefox and occasionally open office. There's also things like shockwave player, flash player, adobe reader and java but I don't really count any of them as program except for adobe reader.I have and use PC cillin Internet security for my antivirus and firewall and that, it works great!
  20. You're not allowed to put refferal links on here.Those "bux" sites are scams anyway, they all work exactly the same. When you sign up to one, you can't actually expect to get any money.And the worst thing is, they charge for "premium" membership.I've signed up to a couple of them but haven't really bothered with them, I found a site once before with an enormous list of scam "bux" sites.
  21. I seriously hope they reconsider. They have their live search anyway.Channel 7 only bought Yahoo Australia a few years ago.I'd rather not see yahoo go down hill, can't they buy ask or dogpile or one of the search engines I don't use instead?
  22. I was going to mention Darik's Boot And Nuke.I used it once when my boot sector died and I was trying to wipe the hard drive. Just install it to a floppy disk and boot from it. You can choose your type of wipe, one of them takes like 6 hours but it completely gets rid of everything.It took me a while to find a shop that sold floppy disks and that was over a year ago so I imagine you'll have more trouble finding them now and since people don't have floppy disk drives anymore, it might be harder.

    Real Player

    I have Real Player installed, I don't use it though.I once used it for a while, but then I got sick of it, I hate alot of things about it.Now I just use iTunes and winamp occasionally, iTunes is really good!
  24. I've occasionally watch Criss Angel Mind Freak, it seems pretty real. Gotta wonder how he does it though. At the start of one episode though, he walked through a fence, then they changed the angle and there's a gap, lol.I don't know if I believe it or not though.There is the kind of magic though that you see on little kids shows or in fantasy things which no, I don't believe in.
