Now i'm a dedicated Xisto member of some 2? years.My rant is thus:Your forums are WAY WAY too complicated, you spend half hour trying to find where to post only to get there & find out you are not authorised to post anyway.You have people by the bollocks, they have to post & it seems you make it as hard as possible for them to do so.In the world of free hosting Xisto are lacking well behind, you might say 'who cares, its free' but everyone knows decent free hosting leads to paid hosting.I came on here earlier determined to get paid hosting, I had a simple question to ask then my credit card details would have been yours. Could I ask it anywhere? No. Everywhere I went I wasn't authorised, & yes I was logged in. I've never been banned, warned, anything here, so why?Tell me i'm wrong but isnt this forum's sole purpose to get people to upgrade? Why then make it such a *BLEEP*ing miserable place to visit?To finish this, ive got paid hosting where my temporary site is, ?2 a month, unlimited bandwidth, sql databases, email addies etc, you guys need to brush up on your customer service technique, seriously.

Surely this rant should be aimed at the people who you sent your laptop to be repaired with rather than the manufacturers of it? HP/Compaq are actually a very good make, I diagnose & repair laptops on a daily basis & seldom see them in for repair.

I am curious to see what you guys have come up with using free hosting, so...What is the biggest/most popular website hosted by Xisto?To be more specific I want to know what is the biggest in terms of page impressions/members/sheer physical size.Impress me!

Rubbish rubbish rubbish! Do you seriously think that if mobile phones posed a significant health risk they would be on sale? In the current health & safety climate we live in if there was the slightest chance they were dangerous they would all be buried 5 miles underground in reinforced concrete.People argue that if you talk on a mobile for a while it gets hot - don't these cretins realise that residual body heat will warm up anything if you hold it close to you long enough?Anyone old enough to remember the introduction of tv/video remote controls will remember the same thing happening, & again when microwave ovens were introduced. Who worries about them now? Admittedly radio waves & the body do interact, but not in a harmful way. Try this out: If you have a car with remote central locking if you place the remote to your head the click it will double the range it will unlock your car. Don't ask me how it works, but it does, & it won't kill you...

EM Radiation is a myth, if mobile phones were harmful then so would wifi signals be & the majority of people nowadays either have wireless internet at home or use wifi-hotspots.

I've had an iphone for some time now & have never really been totally happy with it. The camera is average at best & having no video shooting capability is so 1990's. Saying that, the user interface is very good.A friend bought a HTC Touch Diamond which i've had a good play around with & it beats the iphone hands down on every level. I've had HTC's before & they have always been good (if you ignore the buggy Windows Mobile 5 they used to come with). New HTC's all have Windows Mobile 6 which is a vast improvement - its like going from Windows 98 to XP.I don't think i'll be getting a Touch Diamond though, i'm going to save up a bit longer & get the Touch pro - identical to the Diamond but with a full slide-out keyboard. Expensive, yes. Nearly ?500 on ebay at the moment, but by a million miles the best mobile/pda you can buy.

The only sure way not to get pregnant is not to have sex, no contraceptive will give you a 100% guarantee that you won't get up the duff.As for the withdrawal method - thats a joke and a myth. Using that as a contraceptive is frankly stupid.

Excellent thread One extension in particular that I miss is webmail compose, which when you click an email link on a webpage it opens your gmail account, not your default email client. This is/was an excellent extension, & I hope someone gets around to upgrading it to Firefox 2 soon. *Edit* I have just found what could quite possibly be the best Firefox extension ever. Basically it tricks Firefox into thinking all the extensions you have installed are compatible. All my 1.5 extensions now work with 2. Happy doesnt come close... Get it here

You say that, but out of the twenty or so extensions I have installed on 1.5 the only two that are compatible with 2.0 are Stumble & Adblock Plus. Its annoying as not only am I missing out on nearly all of them but every time I start up Firefox now it insists on checking for updates. I don't really want to turn the auto check off just in case updates are available at some point, so I guess I am stuck with it...

Its as good as what everyone expected, but I am going to have to stick to 1.5 for the time being as I dont want to lose all my extensions. Only a handful are compatible at the moment which is a pain. Plus I like the theme I have with 1.5 too.

Msn is the most convenient simply because everybody seems to have it. I have switched to aMsn now though as it doesn't use up as much of the processor when its running. Before I was struggling to run Photoshop, Firefox & Msn at the same time. There isnt really a great deal of difference between normal msn & amsn, apart from the smileys are a bit naff. So far it seems pretty good though.

Sorry for the multipost, but I have a quick question:Will installing it affect the terms of the IPB license at all?

Thanks, thats excellent

Does anyone know how to activate the moderator bbcode in the IPB admin cp, or is it something coded exclusively for Xisto?Any help appreciated.Thanks.

I reported that to Bufallo myself. It was quite probably the most distasteful thing I have read on here.
