Spectre

If you can show me this '5000 visitor a day' site of yours, and some valid statistics taken from a reliable source, then I will acknowledge you as being right and withdraw my previous statement.And I don't remember saying that either Dreamweaver or FrontPage were intended for professional site development, although I never said they weren't.

'Free' as in 'legal and free', or 'free' as in 'illegaly ripped books and free'?

This is a pointless thread, with no real meaning or value.*Closed.

No, cookies are not the best way to go. Sessions are most definately better than cookies, assuming nothing needs to be 'remembered' outside of the current session. Some browsers don't allow cookies, and some people turn them off (due to security threats etc), so if your site uses cookies, not all users will be able to view it - or some may even choose to leave based on this reason alone. On the other hand, sessions always work. And the user can't disable sessions (unless they close their browser window). And as for your code: <?php[/br]if(isset($_POST['nickname'])[br] setcookie('nickname', htmlentities($_POST['nickname']), 999999);[/br]?> Shouldn't it be: <?php[/br]if(isset($_POST['nickname']) {[br] setcookie('nickname', htmlentities($_POST['nickname']), 999999);[/br]}// edit: IF statements need to be enclosed in { }.[br][/br]?> (edit: I read it wrong the first time)

One-thousand Australia dollars would be worth what, two American dollars and a nickel?I don't think an AU$1000 computer will be able to run Doom III without a lot of paging.

But <- snipped -> multiple times doesn't help at all. They are all tracked, and if you click them more than once in 24 hours, it is only counted as one click. If you click them over and over again, it is likely that Xisto will be penalized rather than rewarded. So just click them once, and only if you want to }

What...?The idea of this forum is that you posts your reviews. Please keep it relavent (and understandable).

Last time I checked, we were not the rights holders to the Unreal engine.Do not ask such questions here; we do not any more about it than you do.

He isn't. He is just doing his job, and he usually does it well.I would suggest you don't critisize any of the other moderators here. It isn't easy crawling through every single post to look for unwanted content.

I'm not a Slackware fan. But that's just my opinion.Linux isn't suitable for the average home computer user, anyway. For one, most of todays leading software and games are created for Windows; and many personal computers are used solely for gaming.And for two, it comes with features that most people have no use for. If you are a 'power-user' and enjoy having control over your operating system, and are willing to put the hours in, then Linux is probobly for you. But for those that just like to sit down and play a game from time to time or do office-type work, Windows is probobly the better option.

Windows XP wasn't released until late 2001. How could you have been using it all your life?

psp-playstation, I would suggest that you don't whine about the services you are receiving for free. Xisto provides these services to you as they are; if you don't like them, then you don't have to use them. I'm sure the admin would prefer to grant hosting to someone that appreciates it over someone who doesn't.Hosts such as Web1000 are completely useless. They offer hardly any of the features that Xisto does, and they pile limitations upon each account. If you want to stay with them, then feel free to do so.Xisto is among one of the best free hosts there is. It is even better than a lot of the paid hosts that exist. You are given cPanel with each account, which makes it incredibly easy to control your web site, yet gives you all the power over your account that you could need.

As I've said before, Invision Power Board v1.3 is distributed as free sofware. Version 2.x costs money.If you are willing to donate the money required to purchase the newer version, then I'm sure the admin would have no objection to upgrading.It costs $69.95 for a one-year license, or $199 for a lifetime license.

Ah, I see. My apologies, I didn't fully read your post.

Read the Services page.

You cannot realisticly manage a large site with a text editor, regardless of whether or not it includes syntax-highlighting. NEdit or vi might be fine if you're only interested in having a couple of pages for a hobby site, but trying to create professional-grade sites that look good with a simple text editor is just a waste of time.

You are the only other person I have come accross that uses Opera. Rock on.

As pr3dr49 said, there are distributions of Linux that are very easy to use, especially if you use X. Take Mandrake, for example - anyone who can move a mouse can use it.

If you're going to use Google, then you should use the Google searchbar at the top of the forum. It's exactly the same as searching Google from their homepage, but it supports Xisto.

*Thread moved.

The bandwidth allocated to Xisto is limited, so they can't provide something they don't have (ie. unlimited bandwidth) without 'overselling'. Which is pretty much what this thread is all about, so I don't know why you're even asking.

You should check the rules at each forum before trying to post a link there. Most of those sites have since deleted or edited your posts due to SPAM. And one of them required the visitor to login before viewing the thread, which is just annoying.

Mind showing us some of your stuff, Roley? Do you have a portfolio of anything you've done?

Don't let templest see that question; he might have to skin you alive. Search Google (use the search bar at the top of this page - it supports Xisto) for PHP tutorials, or try visiting the official PHP site and looking up the documentation or function list. I learnt it just by fiddling and examining other scripts, but it took a lot longer than it should have.

The phpBB group's website would probobly be a good place to start looking for skins and other add-ons/mods. As for creating a moderator group, look in the Admin Panel under 'Group Admin'. Firstly, create a new group under 'Management' and call it whatever you like - 'Moderators', for example. Then under 'Permissions', select the group you just created, and set which forums/categories you want that group to moderate.
