reason for limiting number of "sponsored" posts is to improve post quality even more. community is great, and that, but posts that deserve credits should be really awesome. Also limiting credit sponsored posts would maybe force users to write couple of longer posts a month, that have some greater value, like tutorials and stuff, which would then score some good credits for them

How about that Xisto limits maximum number of posts that you can get credits for in one day? My suggestion would be limiting posts that count for credits at 3 a day .I really don't know how to explain this idea, it's just something that came to my mind..What do you guys think?

Here's my 2 cents.. Circle is geometry construct, like dot, line triangle, and square, cube, sphere. When you look at geometry (Euclid 3D space) first you start with dot. Dot is definition of 1 dimension. Then you add, 2 dimensional space by adding plane. Plane is defined by one dot and 1 line that doesn't lie on that dot. Imagine it like paper without thickness. If you have dot on 1 place, and line on another, and that dot and line have no crossings or don't lie on each other, when you put that paper so that line lies on the paper and that paper touches dot, you got 2d plane. Circle is 2 dimensional geometry construct, and can be drawn on that plane we got from line and a dot. It's defined by center and radius. if you define center as one dot and radius like one line of defined lenght eg 3cm, and you put one end of the line on dot, and rotate the other end of the line for 360°, trail which that end leaves is called a circle. Most interesting number which you get from a circle is called Pi. (link) Pi is used to calculate circles area. Maybe you are confused with circles, beacouse you don't understand that number, and for further reading on mathematics, i would suggest you that you read about it, so that you don't start with some "crazy" inventions of your own As for the 3d space, maybe later...

Maybe you can try Albman Designs (or similar to Studios, Media or whatever)

@KuBi Lol, where did you find that site. It's so funny @samarsurf: website is really a wide concept, so give some more details..

Thanks mermaid :)I'm just thinking on buying IPB and since this is the only IPB i'm registered to, i needed to test UTF-8 characters in topic titles, and stuff like that.Don't worry about spam, couse this is Test forum, which is pruned regulary.Thanks for the tip

I'll sure use this tutorials when i start doing gfx. Really nice. I know that u gfx freaks use lot's of layers and stuff, i just didn't imagine that it's this -- well -- hard.I mean, do you see the sig at the end before u start making it, or do you just play with layers, and then what u get u get. At first i always thought that you just play around with layers, and then just BAM u got your self a sig, but now seeing this tut's i kinda think that you see the result before u start creating the sig! Awesome. How long did it take to learn all this tricks?

file extension, and path is given with this variable $filename = './postit.html'; ./ means to look in the current directory, and filename's extension is .html. You can change extension to any one you like just my renaming the file that PHP looks for . This script doesn't create file if it doesn't egzist, it just writes to egzisting file, so make sure to create file you will be writing to before running script. Yes, it's short, but i posted it mostly for that preg_replace thing, although i admit it needs some more work, so that it writes nicer code than it does now. And soon i'll create a bit more powerfull, but again, simple, text editor (script that reads files, and allows you to edit them), but that needs a bit more work, and probably use of file_get_contents function. I'll look into it when i have more time EDIT: Thank you jlhaslip for changing the title, manipulator, sounds nice

I made a simple flat file text editor, that can show you probably how simple it is to use forms with php and write that data to file. This example has 2 files, submit.php, and postit.html. Submit.php is used to write title, and some text, and add html tags, and paragraph tags where new paragraphs are. Here's the file with comments. I think that HTML really doesn't need some more explaining. Title: <br /> <input type="text" name="title" size="53"> <br /> Text: <br /> <textarea name="text" rows="20" cols="40"></textarea><br /> <br /> <input type="submit" value="Save"> </form> <?php if (@$_POST['title']=="" || @$_POST['text']==""){ echo "Enter text to save!"; } else { //this is path to file $filename = './postit.html'; //i used $title to strip HTML/PHP tags < >, and added <h2> HTML tag to decorate title $title = "<h2>".strip_tags($_POST['title'])."</h2>\n"; //with this $_POST['text'] is stripped from html/php tags like title, but also preg_replace //is used to replace \n(every enter that u hit when writing tekst), //and instead of that added <p> tags which decorate your new paragraph $tekstmanage = preg_replace('/\n/','</p><p>', strip_tags($_POST['text'])); //i should probably write a whole preg_replace function instead, which i will probably later, //but this $tekst variable is used to add finishing and closing tags //to our tekst manage. you can see how preg_replace adds first closing than starting tags //and with this we just simply add starting before closing and closing after starting tags :confused:;) $tekst = "<p>".$tekstmanage."</p>\n"; //after our variables are defined, we combine them in unique variable which we'll write to file $content = $title.$tekst; //This below is basic write to file function that i found on php.net, and rearanged //i'll just explain it briefly // //this checks weather our filename is writeable (on unix systems like here on Xisto) //you need to change permissions to the file that allows writing to world 646 if (is_writeable($filename)){ //if file cant be opened to add -> 'a' <- in the fopen construct //just echo sorry if(!$handle= fopen($filename,'a')){ echo "Sorry, you can't write to file1"; } //if file cant be written to, same if (fwrite($handle, $content) === FALSE){ echo "Sorry, you can't write to file2"; exit; } //if both of those terms are fine just echo the confirmation text echo "You wrote to file ".$filename."<br />"; echo "<a href=\"postit.html\">View</a>"; } //if file isn't writeable else { echo "Sorry, you can't write to file3"; } } ?> Well, there it is, hope u have fun with it. Also this needs a bit more work to be done with it, so i won't post dl link. If you have any questions about the script, you know what to do EDIT: Note to moderators, sorry this is not a real text EDITOR (it only writes), so can u please edit the title, to suit the script better.. Thanks

Just a char-test čć?đ?

hey! i really like this one. reminds me of Fallout 2, and advanced power armor! Hope i'll get time to create and practice some gfx's of me own, so maybe soon i post a few sigs here myself.. nice job! EDIT:i just saw another this one too! Really good job! Although it seems a bit to "heavy" for it's size, but i guess that's not a problem, when it somes to just showoff..Nice work

Thanks guys for the positive reactions. Well i mentioned that GFX was made/found by my friend so i kinda couldn't influence that couse i didn't get .psd but .jpg files.Also this is pretty much basic template, and for the next one i'm gonna do something more unique, and i hope to make gfx's on me own, for that.I'm not that good in GFX, but it's obvious that i need to learn that if i want to be web designer

My new design is my personal homepage. It's in my native language, but i guess when you just look at the design it's like reviewing "Lorem ipsum dorem" pages. Feel free to comment or suggest. New desing: Here's da new design link Old Design: Well this is my first template design. I need to mention that i wasn't 100% free in designing this starcraft template couse most of the gfx were made/found by a friend of mine whom i'm designing this website for. Old design: Here's da Link!

Well ordinary google didn't change, but i also noticed the change on google suggest labs project Here's da link and i kinda don't like it.

Umm, i think you are wrong. And it is usual to let people know when you are about to tell a spoiler so that they can either turn around and walk away without knowing it, or stay and listen to it.

Even that i don't obey this i completely agree with it. Alcohol is really a great problem for young people. It messes you up totally, and can drive you in BAD directions you don't want to go in life. Also it lowers your intelligence, and couses serious concentration problems. you may drink, but be sure that your gonna face the consequences. Learn to have fun, and to be fun without alcohol, and show others that it is possible. Alcohol only makes you an illusion that you feel good, while at the same time your body weakens, your mind is clouded with bad judgment, and you sure can get into trouble much easier than you think.

well mixture of limestone and clay is needed to produce cement. it is really sad that i don't know the ratio, which i really should now by heart since it's my JOB. wow. hmm.. I'm sure gonna pop a question to my professor about this mixture. maybe they are already researching compression and tension stress values on these materials. dunno

well sometimes only knowing that you can do something really spoiles the game. that's why i didn't read it, and i don't know it now. but i think author of the topic should've mentioned it's spoiler at first place

Well not all pyramids are created using a mixture of limestone, clay, lime, and water. Only the outer part's which confused scientists for years how could they be so massive and than again so precise. Also what is interesting is the fact that this new mixture is not same mixture as we use for concrete now. I looked at it, and find it strange, so i kept reading article until the end. It looks like that this mixture they were using is much better than concrete in terms of production. Looks like old Egyptians thought us something new: Hey, i might try this mixture when building me own house

Glad i voted couse now result is 7:6 to PES. I just can't belive someone votes for Fifa. That's a lammers game. PES, well i really liked Winning eleven better, is really much harder, and shows football in better perspective than Fifa. It was awesome playing it, and scoring goals, passing, and the whole game play is much much more realistic in PES. Aside GFX which really doesn't matter for the joy of great gaming PES is way much better than Fifa.

Awesome Tsunami! Very inspiring love story. At least now i know that there are girls out there that understand music, and will do some crazy stuff just couse of it. I really need to find that song.

Great job Kubi! Finaly a great link to post to newbies in shoutbox trying to build their website.But no matter how simple you go, they always come back with * some questions.:)Respect for writing this tutorial!

I don't believe in whole that "best" friend stuff. You can have friends of course, but i don't think that there are people that wouldn't turn your back if you give them something that they can't resist in return. I'm not talking about money, or sex. Everyone can find themselves in place where they need to choose between self and someone else. Rarely those persons whom you can call best friends choose you instead of them. Personally i don't like people who sacrifice them selves for others. They are just lame, couse they feel everyone is going to think they are better person if they always help.No i don't have Best Friend. And not at all best friend's. I mean how can there be best Friend's? What are they Best with then?Your family is your best friend and it always should be. OK, there are exceptions, i know that, but in most cases brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers should be your best friends.

I'm not reading this! You should alert people that this is spoiler. Now and then i like to play minesweeper, and thank god i didn't read this couse it would kill the game for me. Warning peeps - it's a spoiler
