LegallyHigh

Thank you for the advise sir, I was actually thinking of doing that, but didn't want to have any files in the / directory, I just wanted everything in the / directory to redirect to /forum/ However, I looked through Google and found out how to use Htaccess Redirects. I tried out the Htaccess script but I found out the Htaccess script only works for non Sub Domain websites (I am a sub domain of Xisto, until I get my own .com). Later I found out that Xisto's CPanel provided a redirect option, and wallah, Problem Solved. Any way's thanks for the suggestion though.

Right now I'm using Core FTP Lite and I like it. In the past I have used Cute FTP and a couple of others which I have forgot the name to. But in my opinion Core FTP Lite is better than Cute FTP, or at least comes with more ease for me to use.

Okay, I want to know how can I redirect any visitor that comes to my site to the forum automatically since that is all the site is. I should have just placed the Forum in the main directory, but it's too late now and I have no wish to redo it. So how do I redirect my site using htaccess from / to /forum/ (my site is at http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/), I'm trying this script right now: Redirect /index.php http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ but it only redirects the index.php specifically to the forum/index.php, I need a full directory redirect script, so / will go to /forum/

Okay, I just set up my Simple Machine's Forum at http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ (soon to be http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/). I was wondering where I could get a mod that would allow me to put a random space for any HTML content so I could put advertisements on the site. Also, I've looked around on the SMF Mod site for a Shout box and found a couple which is good. However, there is no clarification of which one is the best. What shout box would you guys recommend I use?

Well, I haven't tried Xisto yet, but since I hear it is very similar to the hosting found at Trap 17 (both provided by Xisto), I would guess it is the best out of the list. I used to have a Xisto account and the combination of the features and no ad made it my favorite free host. I've tried FreeWebs and Geocities before and they weren't to good of hosts, however, I loved 50webs. The only reason I no longer use 50webs is because of the lack of support it provides for PHP and MySQL since I am trying to create a Forum. I don't think I've ever tried Atspace or Hostlix, or even heard of either.

Alright, the computer I'm on now runs well, however, the laptop, which I received from my Grandpa is a bit slow, in fact, it is very, very slow. I'm pretty sure at some point, though, it was a bit faster. Could anyone recommend me a program that could boost the speed by optimizing the computer, or by deleting some clutter, or repairing the registry. I remember I've tried before with some optimization programs on this computer, but since I used free programs (I don't want to pay for a program for the slow Laptop, either) I could only use half of the optimization tools in the program, and the rest you could only use if you purchased, like a Try and Buy Scheme. So does anyone know a 100% free program that could possibly boost this old Laptops Performance?

What free forum is it easiest to create custom skins for. In the past I used PHBB and successfully created one skin, but it was a very harsh thing to do and took a long time, I had to edit many files. I am thinking about using Simple Machine Forums (SMF) as my next forum platform (I'm only interested in free forum platforms at the moment though I have heard great stories of v Bulletin). Is it difficult to create skins, or layouts for this Forum Platform? If any one has any experience please share, I would love to learn a little about what I may need to know soon since I will probably have to create my own custom layout. Also, if anyone knows, what kind of mods can you get for SMF thus fas, I have heard it is pretty new, so I;m not expecting much, but does it at least have a shout box, and also, how do you incorporate ads in the forum. Sorry for asking so many questions, I just want to get into putting together this site as quick as I can.

Alright, I've been looking into Free Forum Platforms, people have recommended Simple Machine Forum to me as the best free forum. However, in the opinion of your own, what do you guys think is the safest (least exploitable) Forum type. In the past I have used PHBB but my site didn't have near enough traffic to become a Target (to get hacked into), but assuming my next site actually will get some traffic what would be the safest option?

Okay, I have decided I will open a "Legal High" site since there aren't too many out there, and I feel I need to seize this opportunity. What kind of affiliate program would you guys recommend I use for this kind of site. I was thinking maybe something like an Ebay affiliate that would display links to the Legal Products on Ebay. However I have no idea what kind of Affiliate Program would provide this to me. Any help?

This is way off topic from hosting and web design and such, but it is something new I have learned about and for that reason I will share it. decently I have come to learn that the plant Salvia Divinorum could cause psychedelic effects if smoked. At first I thought that was very weird since I remember in the past while working with my Uncle I had panted a flower called Salvia (working in the landscaping field). However, I researched a little about the plant, and it is a seperate flower. However, the psychedelic effects still drove me into interest with this plant. I looked all over the internet conjuring enough information from enough sources to tell me it does in fact provide these effects. While looking up this plant I found many other "Legal Highs" as this Salvia Divinorum is still legal in most parts of the United States. I came upon information of all kinds saying even the most common household items and cooking material (nutmeg, a spice) could cause a euphoria if ingested. Since there were only a handful of sites providing this information I had stumbled upon a new idea for a website, Legal Highs. And that is what has brought me to this site, Xisto.com, the second time I have come here (My old site failed because I forgot to post, and it was constantly suspended). And that is all the information I have recently learned, I will make the site out of a SMF (Simple Machine Forum) Forum (unless you guys could recommend me a better free forum platform) so that other users can share experiences with "Legal Highs." I myself, don't experiment with Legal Highs too much, but since theres an opportunity for a unique site I will pursue. Also, by the way, does Trap 17 support SMF (I hope so)?
