Sotw #42 Voting Voting thread
Albus Dumbledore replied to Kubi's topic in Graphics, Design & Animation
itsmyard: the text up top is a little hard to read, i think it would have been better if you tried a little bit of brushes for the background, it looks like you just used the blending options, but also, for me, the text along the sholder is a little hard to read truefusion: i like the border, i like the soccer logo, i like the way that you used the brush colors that match the render, over all a verry good job! aminzzlink: the bottom tex tis extremley blury, the back render looks verry distorted and blury, just not verry atractive IMO Avalon: nice brushing, nice text effect, it all matches good, i like the fact you added a waving aussie flag *i think thats what it is..* anyways, good job as usual! tom: the colors match, the brushing is good, i think that it is a well done and worked on sig. saint_michael: im supprised you did this while you keep saying you are such a failure..when your not, because you do good work anyways, i like the fact that the bruushing is different colors like that, i like the text effect *drop shadow i think* you seem to favor the brightness behind the render huh? kylelnsn: i like the text colors >_< now if only there were some black in the sig...then i think it would match good..but right now i dont think it does, i would say that you use a few to many renders, i think that maybe you should have just stuck with the soccer player, and the trophe, but the other two are a bit out of the ordinary for me.... overall these are my results: Saint michaels just flows well in my mind, the colors, the brightness, and the render good job everyone! -
Script Error With Domain Name Changing
Albus Dumbledore replied to Albus Dumbledore's topic in Web Hosting Support
well, ive pretty much fixed that now...i am deciding to open up my website again (lol) and so i am signed up on another site like Xisto, and my domain is currently on my Xisto accoount, so i just wanted to change my Xisto account to somthing else so i can register it with the other host, but instead i went out and bought an actual domain instead of the free .be domain...now i am just waiting for the webamster of the site that will be put onto my Xisto account to come on...again...anyways, if the script is not working by the time that he comes online, can i have him PM you asking you to terminate his hosting account, and then i can pm you asking you to change my domain..?? blast this is getting confusing even for me! -
1) Well, it depends on my situation, when i am sitting straight up and down in a chair, you know the propper etticute (hoeever you spell it) i am told i can type up to 150 WPM (words per minute), but if i am like i am at my computer (im laying on my side typing) lol then i dont know how fast i can type, im sure its around 70 MPM or somthing like that...2) school.. most definatly school, i remember my first two weeks of class my teacher hooked the projector up to my computer blind folded me and had me type what he was saying...strange person he was...lol3) i taught myself... the schools programs in second grade did nothing but pressure the students to get an A in computer class...lol so i jsut taught myself at home on my own time...and here i am today

please use the search engine, i believe there is allready a topic around here about Firefox VS IE, i am going to look for it then post it if there is.... but my vote would go to firefox, its more secure and allot easier to navigate:D and the link for the other one would be http://forums.xisto.com/topic/21229-which-web-browser-is-better-which-web-browser-is-better/= and this one is asking which one you use...which is basicly asking you which one is better because obviously you use the better one http://forums.xisto.com/topic/13730-what-internet-browser-do-you-use/=

What Are The Best Image Hosts Out There ?
Albus Dumbledore replied to ikenalleenik's topic in Software
the only image host that i will ever use will be Photobucket...ive been using photobucket since i was first starting my website career...The things i like about photobucket is that you can login and seperate your images, you can make different folders, and seperate them like that, it has a tool to re-size the images, and unlike Imageshack.us, when you go to look at the image,it DOES NOT give you a pop-up advertisement... you can also upload up to 19 images at a time, it also allows you to upload videos now that they have upgraded, so it is a pretty awsome service, and all for free! -
Script Error With Domain Name Changing
Albus Dumbledore replied to Albus Dumbledore's topic in Web Hosting Support
yeah same here NDPA, hopefuly nothing gets damaged baldy... but maybe while they are trying to work this error out they can put the old section up so people can continue with their site..lol just a suggestion though -
internet access on a plane, lol thats kool...and pretty much allready possible...just hook your computer up to your cellphone when the pilot says you can turn on electronic devices...and it may be a little slow, but its still internet.... but i think it would be better if they put t1 into wireless access for people on the plane

Yes, most of my tutorials are noobish...but i dont care lmai Animated Dashed Border Do this first!!!1) Open a new image that is 8x8 pixels 2) Use the pencil tool (Right Click on the brush tool and selet Pencil". 3) Now, draw a patern like this: 4) Go to Edit -> Define Patern, and just click OK Now do this 1) Create a new image, or open an existing image you wish to put the border on. 2) Hit "Ctrl+Shift+N" to create a new layer or Layer -> New -> Layer.... 3) With the new layer selected hit "Ctrl+A" or go to Select -> All. 4) Now, go to Edit -> Stroke, and apply the following settings, But pick a color of your choice.. 5) Right click on the new layer and select Blending Options 6) Now tick the box, Patern Overlay and apply the following settings with the 8x8 image you selected. Now for the second part.. Do this first!!! 1) Open a new image that is 8x8 pixels 2) Use the pencil tool (Right Click on the brush tool and selet Pencil". 3) Now, draw a patern like this: 4) Go to Edit -> Define Patern, and just click OK Next Part 1) Create a new layer by going to Layer-->New-->Layer or hitting (Ctrl+Shift+N) 2) With the new layer highlighted, go to Select-->All or just hit (Ctrl+A) 4) Now go to Edit-->Stroke and apply the following settings 5) Right click on the newest layer and go to blending options 6) tick the box, Patern Overlay and apply the following settings with the 8x8 image you created in the beginning of the second part. Now to go to ImageReady you can either go to File-->Edit In ImageReady or hit (Ctrl+Shift+M) 1) Make sure the animation window is up if it isn't go to Window-->Animation 2) In the animation window, Duplicate the one frame that is there.. 3) On frame number one, go to the layer window and on one of the layers, make it invisible (you do this by clicking on the eye so the eye is no longer there) 4) Now click on the second frame in the animation window 5) go back to the layer window, and make it to where the the OPPOSITE layer is invisible (opposite meaning the layer that is invisible in frame 1) 6) You are done!! now all you need to do is save it, and you dont just click Save as you need to go to File-->Save Optimized As then you are done Here is the sig that i created using this animated dashed border! oh yes! A) You will not! be able to see the dashed borders in Image Ready, but they are there, B)You will not be able to see the animation if you look at it while its saved on your computer, but you will see it once you upload it somewhere (its weird) another thing, if you are not happy with the speed of the border: 1) in the animation window where it says 0 sec clcik there and it gives you a list of multiple speeds, just keep changing them, saving the image, and uploading it to see if you like the new speed. this is my final product
-
Ok abviously, the first step is to open an existing document, or use the sig that you made... second step) Create a new Layer (CTRL+Shift+N) or go to Layer-->New-->Layer third step) make the foreground black, and the background white (or just hit D) fourth step) go to Select-->All or just hit Ctrl+A so the entire image is seleted fith step) go to Edit-->Stroke and apply these settings: Width: 3px Color: Black Location: Inside Mode: Normal Opacity: 100% sixth step) once again go to Edit-->Stroke and apply these settings: Width: 2px Color: White Location: Inside Mode: Normal Opacity: 100% seventh step) once again go to Edit-->Stroke and apply these settings: Width: 1px Color: Black Location: Inside Mode: Normal Opacity: 100% eighth step) change the blending mode from normal, to Overlay ninth step) you're done! and although this is a bad sig....lol i used the border on this and even though you can barley see it (atleast i cant) here was my final result

How To Lock A Folder And Keep It Private title explains it
Albus Dumbledore replied to kylelnsn's topic in Software
also, just another suggestion, before trying this on any major files that may be on you computer, you should make a file and name it anything and put a bunch of blank documents or somthing in there, and THEN try this process of locking the folders on that foler befoe you try it on an important file because lord knows there is no way of reteiving the lost password if it doesn't work as well as you want it...that is another thing to keep in mind, you cannot retreive the password if you ever loose it -
do you have cpanel? if so does it have somthing calledd fantastico?? if so you should be able to look under that under Discussion Boards and then PHPBB2 is listed there phpBB2 if you do not have cpanel or fantastico, if you would like someone that can install it for you, you can go to http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and post in the installation section, and someone can help you install it, or install it for you!

i know a dashed border is not all that fancy of a border to put on there, but for people like me it is the only border you can sucessfully put on the sig to make it look like a good sig...because i tried some advanced borders and they didn't work out with me so i just stuck with plain, dashed, and a 3px border...(i might post a tutorial for that later)

Hosting Credits System Bug Attention admins please
Albus Dumbledore replied to XIII's topic in General Discussion
yeah, maybe there is...most of the rest of the xisto sites are running an IPB Version of 2.1.6 (the latest version even though a .8 is coming out soon) and the last time they upgraded Xisto, OpaQue had to completley re-write the credit system, so maybe he hasn't gotten around to changing this one and or it is just a bug in Xisto's credit system, or maybe it hasn't been descovered at Xisto although i doubt it is there because my friends account is at a negative as well and it is not up... -
Lucid Dreaming is basicly where while you are dreaming, you somehow realize that what you are doing is just a dream and the waking mind (the part of the brain you use when you are awake) gains controll of the dream, i think making it what you want it to be... if you ever want to know the definition of somthing, you can always go to https://www.google.de/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=7AkjVIatDsKH8QfNkoC4DQ&gws_rd=ssl and type in define:word in this case it would be define:lucid dreams, or define:lucid dreaming. but yes, i think that dreams do have a meaning. i beieve that dreams are the inner desiers of your heart... i have had multiple nights where i would go to bed thinking man i really want more memory and a new video card, for my computer so i can play games on it...like world of warcraft, and i would dream that i got them and im sitting there playing... or somthing along the lines of that... then theres days where i say to myself i want jessica to go out with me... and then in a week or so ill have a dream that jessica is going out with me... then there are the dreams that tell my future ill dream my dad is calling me and asking me to mow the lawn.... i wake up and start doing the dishes and 10 minutes later i get a call from my dad asking me to mow the lawns... its creepy >_<

Bird Flu, Aka H5n1, Is Anyne Worried About It?
Albus Dumbledore posted a topic in General Discussion
Well, in the past few years we have descovered that around the world very few cases of somthing called The Bird Flu, scientificly known as H5N1, i was watching a show a few minutes ago and they said that the second highest way that the world will suffer a mass extinction was by the bird flu, and mainly because there is no cure for it yet, but there is one in the making since it is verry similar to the 1950's Mexican Flu...my basic question is : Is anyone worried about this?i mean, this flu right now is concidered one of the worse virisues in the world because there is no cure...and although it is possible to live past it... it is not likely....old peoples immune systems are weak. most vonurable to die first.young people's immune systems are still weak because they are in the making...mid peoples immune system isgood but not good enough, so basicly we need a cure for itare you worried? lol -
Ok, well recently i attempted to try and do this offer that godaddy.ocom and buy.com had, and it was: If you buy somthing from buy.com, when you proceed to checkout you can redeme a coupon that will get you a domain at godaddy.com...this was posted on a forum somewhere here on Xisto.. I went and bought a song last night, thinking i would get the coupon code to enter on godaddy.com to get the free domain, nope i didn't.... its been a day now and i still dont have it..... and the offer is going to be up on the 15th (tomorrow)...i was afraid that if i did not get the promotional code before tomorrow that i wouldn't be able to get the basicly free domain...so i decided to contact go daddy.com and ask them if i would still be able to use it... they said no, i asked why not...lol and why they couldn't extend it a few extra days, and they said they just couldn't and that they were sorry i was so slow on getting in on the offer but it would just bbe too late.... then i asked them if i could just give them my reciept number or my order number, and get the promotional code that way, and they said no... so im sitting here all steamed up and pissed off and ready to punch a hole in the wall...lol so i e-mail them back asnd ask to speak to a manager, and maybe i can get a faster answer to them... i also pointed out that i have e-mailed three different time and gotten no luck from them... they e-mailed me back with a no....but you can e-mail us your information and your question and we will try to help you the best we can... now im really steamed...it seems the only answer i am going to get from them is NO so if i dont get the promotional code from buy.com, i am going to call up godaddy.com and ask to speak toa manager and give him my disatisfaction...also drop them an e-mail with my disatisfaction and in the end to tell them to shove it and i will be sure to refer NOONE there and refer them somewhere else....becaus eobviously they are not interested in the community, but are more interested in making money....expecially if the only answer i will get from them is NO
