Technically, if you want to convert the files of your site to PHP, just rename them with a .php extention. Making your site CMS-driven, however, is another story. Try a CMS like Mambo (http://www.aavictoria.org.au/) / Joomla (https://www.joomla.org/), or CMS Made Simple (one of my newly discovered secrets, http://www.cmsmadesimple.org/). All of these work off of a template, giving all the pages in your site a common appearance (unless you specify a different template for different parts of your site, possible in all of the aforementioned CMSs).

I currently have one addon domain in use. If I look in cPanel, I don't see any addon domains listed in the Addon domains page, even though I really have one. My account's main domain is nyceducated.info, and my addon domain is mesivtaofroslyn.info. Why isn't mesivtaofroslyn.info showing up as an addon domain?

The site seems OK, especially since it's free. I'm no expert on PHP Nuke, so that's basically why it seems good. There ain't a huge amount of control from what I see (I actually did play around with a PHP Nuke demo on opensourcecms.com, so I know it a tiny bit).

Someone has to be a real idiot (I like that word) to get a worm/virus on to several hundred thousand MP3 players. I mean, how on earth could that thing get into the firmweare? And why would the computer that the firmware image was compiled on have the worm/virus? There will never be a day where there are no security problems as far as I can predict.

A lot of the SEO features are only on their site, or could perhaps be the result of some third party addon. And they don't intergrate SMF, they just made the template for SMF to fit in with the rest of the site (same for the Forge, Wiki, and other parts of the site). That nice URL structure is only on the CMSMS site, because the site I set up doesn't have it like that (look here: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/, and click a link in the menu; there may not be any aside from the home page when you look). CMSMS doesn't have URLs as complicated as Mambo (like index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=31 in Mambo, compared to index.php?page=home in CMSMS).

Get a load of this: Netscape vs. Firefox -> Netscape!It's probably because Netscape has been around way longer than Firefox. Let me try Windows and Linux....the winner is - you guessed it - Windows.This is a fun site. I should tell my friends about it.

Image removed to save space.Windows Live Mail, even in a browser other than IE, doesn't look like that. I am pretty sure that you get the 2000 MB space, but you probably just got an upgrade to your Hotmail account, and not the full-fledged Live Mail upgrade. I bet it's a system problem.

Both Yahoo! and Micro$oft are offering AJAX-based email services as upgrades (yes, free) to their web mail services. They have been around since 2005, and the companies are supposedly trying to catch up to Google's Gmail through these projects. I have Windows Live Mail, and I have to tell you that it's not terribly impressive. It's slow, only has AJAX features in IE, and has ads like the normal Hotmail (banner on top, tower on the right).

I came across yet another CMS called CMS Made Simple (I'll just call it CMSMS from here on). Of course, it is free and open source, and it is very compact (its latest stable distribution is 1.89 MB zipped, Mambo's is a lot larger, like 8 or more MB proably). Any page loads quickly, and are clutter free. Part of CMSMS's features are its templating system, which works pretty differently. In Mambo, there are the index.php template, and its accompanying template_css.css files. In CMSMS, there's the template (stored in the DB as far as I know), and a whole bunch of stylesheets (also stored in the DB), each of which can be used in multiple templates. Each stylesheet is CSS, but eah one controls a certain aspect, as opposed to where in Mambo, where one stylesheet covers everything. I also haven't tried installing third party addons, and I don't even know how to implement them (which in Mambo is as simple as adding a menu item). One thing I like is how menus work, you don't even need to make menu items since they are automatically created with the content item (appropriately called a 'page'). I look foward to learning CMSMS. It will be a new experience for me since I am so used to Mambo. Here's their site: http://www.cmsmadesimple.org/

If I were to build on the question, what was the first actual HTML/HTTP web site? That's technically what we call a web site these days.As far as answering the question, I have no clue.

For Q1: OpaQue doesn't feel that those sections contribute to the content of the forum significantly, therefore posts do not recieve credit. I don't have any clue as to why OpaQue would think this (hey, The Simpsons is educational ).For Q2: All of the scripts in Fantastico can be installed for free, and most are open source. As Albus mentioned, you can install SMF, phpBB, or both even. And there are a bunch of gallery scripts to address that question.

You could always buy a domain (or get a .info one for free from https://www.1and1.com/), and use that instead of the .trap17.com subdomain. That will provide you with more personalization and branding of your website. Be sure to change the nameservers of the domain to NS1.TRAP17.COM and NS2.TRAP17.COM after you purchase the domain.

If you use Mambo, you can have a forum intergrated into the design of your site by installing the Simpleboard component (fom Two Shoes Mambo Factory, http://www.tsmf.net/) It's very free, and provides a decent feature set. It can intergrate with Community Builder user profiles, and has a limited set of user permissions.

I'm naturally not a Mac user - so I have nothing to say as to whether he guy knows what he's talking about. But that's defenitely a funny video, talk about hilarious. I like the part where he throws the machine on the floor and it breaks.

Obviously, if you are willing to pony up the cash (really the plastic, I didn't think you could pay for IPB with cash), get IPB. It's what's in use here. Obviously it's very powerful, hence its heftty price tag. If you don't have the money, go with SMF. As mentioned earlier in this thread, it's free, and has a strong community. It's also pretty easy to use.

The one browser noone around here uses is Netscape 7.2. Sure it's big and bloated, but if you have a decent amount of memory and don't overly multi-task, then it is pretty speedy. Tabbed browsing is standard, and AIM is intergrated into the sidebar. Since I have a fancy mouse with side buttons, I programmed it to open a link in a new tab with one button (normally middle-click with the scroll wheel, now with the large thumb button) and open a new tab with the other (no original button, but done with Control + T, now small thumb button). It's a really nice browser, and it's a shame more people don't use it.Edit: I now use Opera. I have discovered its truly fast speeds, and compactness (in memory). I discovered that AIM Tritton out side of Netscape is really good, so I gave up the ghost on Netscape.

PC World did a thing on how tough gadgets are. They banged up a note book and spilled coffee on it (after which it died), dropped a digital camera several (about 10) times, buried an iPod Mini in the sand, and put an SD card and Lexar Media Jumpdrive Sport in the wash. The latter two devices (the SD card and the Jumpdrive) took the abuse quite well, both working after that 'test'.

According to my profile, it says I am most active in Hosted Members' Area (36 posts / 8% of my active posts). This surprises me because I post all over the forum, and don't figure that the 8% of my posts is greater than that of any other forum. Those stats must be pretty old.

I started learning web site development a long time ago. I think I started with Yahoo! GeoCities, and made a simple two or three page site. I think I mastered the basics of navigation on a web site, adding a list of all pages on each page. I don't remember when I started real web development (aka CGI scripting), but I started with Perl after seeing a small tutorial in a giant book on HTML. I've used many web hosts after that point in time, looking for the best one (and obviously found it - I'm hosted here). Over the more recent years I have played around with about a dozen languages, not really getting anywhere. Now I have two Mambo sites (one of which actually serves a real purpose - it's for my school) and a WordPress blog, and I change something in one of them at least once a week. Visit my sites at http://nyceducated.info/ and http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/.

Does anyone think that Google, with it's massive computing capabilities, will ever add video chat to the Google Talk service? I did hear of some program (it's called Festoon, curently in Beta; http://www.festooninc.com/rg-erdr.php?_rpo=t) that supposedly adds this capability, but it would be nice to see Google build in this functionality.

I use Trend Micro PC-Cillin' Internet Security 2005's firewall. It is OK; it has a URL filter, WiFi protection (if it finds a new WiFi device on the network it will ask if you want your machine to be able to connect to it), and some other nice stuff. And it updates like every day (but that's probably mostly the anti-virus updates most of the time).

As the other people mentioned here, it is (or probably is) against the rules to make a subdomain service. I saw a thread about this earlier, and the outcome was that it is prohibited. And as Euro Ganhos ?$ said, why bother, when you won't really make much from it? Besides, it would be quite difficult to make a service that doesn't require your intervention (unless you are a decent coder).

Ever since I added the Spam Patrol userbar to my sig, it has looked longer than the whole Torah (not really, but you get the point). It really interests me as far as ow much stuff, and what kinds of stuff, people put in their sigs. So if you think your sig is long, post here. As you see, I have my rotating userbar, that marquee, my hybrid bus sig, some more links, the little email bar, more links, and the Spam Patrol userbar. So what's taking up space in your sig?

My computer teacher is very good at computers. He does all sorts of stuff in Linux, gets more hardware (and rebates to fill out) by the week, and doesn't teach me much (since I know most of the stuff he teaches, or at least I can learn it really, really quickly). As far as you using Firefox on your machine in school, my computer teacher won't let us put any "external media" at all in the computers (CDs, DVDs, USB drives, floppies - those laptops actually have floppy drives, or any other device). Life stinks, but sometimes we just have to live with our problems (trust me, I do it everyday)

I use Trend Micro PC-Cillin Internet Security 2005's antivirus feature. It updates literally everyday, and thanks to it, I have never been infected, even once. Its interface is nice and clean, and doesn't slow down my machine.
