We had loads of discussion about that in our English classes this year. Our teacher had a method of testing how far you'd go. It was something like: [hr=shade]Pretend a random guy went up to in the street and he had a button in his hand and he said to you: "push this button and I'll give you ?1million but it will badly injure someone in Australia" [--bearing in mind I'm from Britain--] [/hr] And then she'd say, " but what if it were to badly injure someone in Europe, would you then push the button? " and then she'd keep confining the area so it would badly injure someone in the UK, your hometown, your school/workplace, your family and then you. [hr=shade]Very nice activity I'd only go as as far as the UK.[/hr]

25 quid an hour?! Maybe I should take a career in web design when I'm older. The design looks great. There's a missing image under all the text but I guess you know that. It's missing a background or something. Apart from that it looks fantastic.

If the time is exactly 2 months behind then why not fix it the cheap and easy way: open up the file and find the variable which contains the months and add "2" to it.I've checked as well, the server's time is correct. Are you sure it's not the script?

Your website looks good on a 1024x768 screen. My only comments would be that it looks as though you have not controllled the font on the navigation menu and because of this it wrecks the design of the nav menu in firefox. In IE: In Firefox: Actually upon further inspection it seems as though there is no set font for the entire site at all. I strongly recommend that you set a default font size, colour and face. I think that the login button would be better placed at the top of the page where people can see it more easily. Maybe it should be to the left of the google search box? Just a thought... I like the way the navigation menu moves to where you are on the page. It makes it more accessible. However, this means that you can't use the space down the left hand side of the page for anything else other than the menu. I also thought I'd point out (because no-one else probably will) that you misspelt contact on the navigation menu. Lastly, there are unnecessary left to right scrollbars which can sometimes serve as an annoyance. On the plus side, I like the general colour scheme and the curve behind the header banner at the top. Further I also like the way that the advertisement is down the right hand side and isn't in your face. Overall: 8/10

We start at 11:30 on the first Tuesday of September. It's the fifth day of the month this year I think so 16 days left Most schools in UK start about that time. But then we break up at the ~25th July - later than most. GSCE work for the first time when we get back Ugh

Welcome to Xisto Enjoy your stay and don't hesitate to ask if you have any queries.

Like all "cool" and "attractive" flash-built websites, the sample I looked at took a hellishly long time to load. Above that, you won't have a very good SEO (Search Engine Optimization) because search engine bots can't read text in flash just like they can't read text in images. The other thing annoying about designing in flash is that in order to make a small edit you have to open up your editor (which can take ages), make the change, export as swf and then upload it to the server again. I imagine it's also pretty hard to intergrate PHP into a flash based site but I may be wrong. Their claim that HTML designs are boring and unimpressive is wrong. Some of the best designs have been achieved through HTML and CSS.

CSS is great because it can be used to make your webpages load faster. This is achieved by: Using <DIV> tags (CSS and <DIV> tags come hand-in-hand really, although it's necessary to use them together) Using external CSS style-sheets I understand that they help aid page-load speed in the following ways: In order to load a table, the browser has to make two requests. One gets the structure of the table and the other gets the content. This doesn't happen with DIVs. If your entire layout is DIV based as opposed to table based then the page is going to load almost twice as quickly. If you use css, then you can set it up so that all your css is in an external file. You can call (correct term?) this file in your html. This external file can be cached. Therefore if it is called on another page, rather than loading it again, the browser just loads it from the cache (or the temporary internet files). Without this external css file the styling information for every page, which in a consistent layout is nearly always the same, is loaded unnecessarily over and over again wasting bandwidth and slowing page-load times. I hope you can understand my definitions and that they weren't too difficult to understand. Either way, I think you should use css and div based layouts wherever possible because it does increase page-load times. The answer to your second question is that it is not compulsory to use DIVs and css together, however most layouts do. It is possible to use tables and css together. And finally, "how nice is css design?", well just look at cssbeauty.com where some of the best css designs lay. Dial-up users will adore you if you switch

It is still running To add yourself, you choose which category you think your site would best fit in. Say for instance you have a site about Queen (a rock group), then you'd click General Category on the main page and then on that page, Music. Then at the top of that page, you'll find a Suggest Link button. It is there where you enter your details.

Hey Xisto now has a spoiler (they are called spoilers, right ). Better use would be something like this:

Here's my guess. I looked up some of the functions on php's manual. On most of them I found evidence that they might be linked to shell scripts and/or program execution: [hr=shade]SYSTEM():[/hr] // Outputs all the result of shellcommand "ls", and returns // the last output line into $last_line. Stores the return value // of the shell command in $retval. $last_line = system('ls', $retval); // Printing additional info echo ' </pre> <hr />Last line of the output _linenums:0'><?phpecho '<pre>';// <strong class='bbc'>Outputs all the result of shellcommand "ls"</strong>, and returns// the last output line into $last_line. Stores the return value// of the shell command in $retval.$last_line = system('ls', $retval);// Printing additional infoecho '</pre><hr />Last line of the output: ' . $last_line . '<hr />Return value: ' . $retval;?> Allows you to execute shell commands ESCAPESHELLCMD(): Self explanatory - shell in the function name [hr=shade]So that Xisto is not abused, the shell feature (SSH) has been disabled. These look to be all SSH functions so you cannot enable them...[/hr]

One of the main things I find myself using javascript for is its innerHTML function (or any other script which swaps the value of a tag on a webpage). Avoidable but undoubtedly useful. The following reasons are why javascript still haunts the net: Newbs who find themselves at bravenet are swarmed with this mass of unnecessary yet "great" javascripts. Surely anything which looks that compucated must be good. Old sites, which are often the popular ones used to have to do advanced things with javascript because there wasn't any other choice. There is little need to "upgrade" the site so that it uses server sided scripting as most browsers still support javascript People who use free hosting without server sided scripting Anyway, no server sided script could replace every javascript function because javascript runs at the client and the server sided scripts at the server so javascript will always be able to do stuff server sided scripts cannot. With regards to javascript vs css, although css can do rollovers (like javascript's onMouseOver), I don't see css having: onChange onMouseWheel etc.... That's all I can name off-hand but there must be more things it can't do and therefore many more arguements. The net is still a bit javascript dependant which is why most browsers still support it and it doesn't look at though it's going to be out of use for visual effects or anything else anytime soon because it still has its importance.

I'm sorry to hear that My thoughts and prayers are with you and your friends. I hope he makes a recovery

UK Airport Police Interrupt A Plan To Commit "Mass Murder On An Unimaginable Scale" There is utter chaos in airports accross Britain as UK police interrupt terrorist bombings which would have been "murder on an unimaginable scale". The murder would've been done by smuggling liquid chemical explosives onto six transatlantic flights travelling from the UK to the USA. The explosives would have been smuggled as hand luggage might have missed X-Ray scanning. As a result special security measures have been taken especially with regards to hand luggage and liquid items that may be found within them. Passengers are only allowed to take special items deemed to be neccessities with them and they must be carried in a specially provided clear plastic bag. More info... As well as that security levels in the UK have been raised to critical, the highest possible level and in the US they have been raised to orange. Many flights to and from the UK have been cancelled. Over 200 BA flights from Heathrow have been cancelled. Airlines from overseas like Lufthansa, Iberia, Olympic, KLM and Air France have all been known to cancel its flights to England. Passengers also undergo further extensive checking if they're travelling from the UK to the US. So far 21 people have been arrested - all of which are from the London, Birmingham and Thames Valley area and are young, British-born Asian men. [hr=shade]Well, I can't think of much to say but I do know that we can all be very lucky that the terrorists were caught. It has been described as a bigger plot than 9/11 and 7/7. We only have the tight security to thank for the catching the murderers. Thank you Britain...[/hr] Notice from jlhaslip: Edit topic title to shorten it

Awarding credits for this would cause members to write malicious code which would load a random page on Xisto.com every X seconds which would be very bandwidth intensive, causing Xisto's bandwidth bills to sore. I don't think that Xisto earns much (or any) money by simply displaying advertisements. Giving users credits for this would simply cause an overload of ad clicks. Advertising companies would get suspicious about fradulant clicks and cut forbid Xisto to use their service. Xisto then has lost one of its main sources of income. It is true that <- snipped -> does help which is why we only want you to click an ad when you're interested, and try not to click too much. [hr=shade]Thank you for your suggestions but they would simply be impractical and unbeneficial for Xisto to practise them. Quality posting is the best way forward for numerous reasons....[/hr]}}}

There was no glitch. When your account gets suspended your credits automatically go to -4 (NEGATIVE).

You can have a link to view the html/javascript OUTPUT of any webpage but not the php/asp code as that's executed at the server and so never makes it to the browser: <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function viewthatsource() { var page = document.viewsource.url.value; document.viewsource.button.value = 'Accessing Source....'; document.viewsource.button.value = 'Found Source'; document.location ='view-source:' + page; return false; } </script> </head> <body> <form name="viewsource" action="return viewthatsource();"> <input type="text" name="url" value="http://"> <input type="submit" name="button" value="View Source"> </form> </body></html> The code above should work but if it doesn't, don't hesitate to say so.

Your credits are adjusted accordingly every time you edit a post. Back in the early days of Xisto that never used to be so and people abused the edit button which lead to it being removed. Fortunately, now OpaQue's fixed this exploit, we can all edit our posts

You have some impressive artwork there lemonwonder. I wish I were as good as you. This particular piece of work was based partly on an online tutorial that can be found at http://datingonlinesites.petanimalforum.com/pan-Grafika_na_medal/profile.aspx?user_nanoo90%23/vortex/index.php

Are you sure that works properly? I've heard that you can do that somewhere before but it never seems to works. Although Windows Explorer seems to be fooled somewhat, other "intelligent" programs aren't so gullible: However Paint Shop 9, like Windows Explorer loads the disguised bitmap perfectly. Have you tried using The Gimp to create and save the icons? Although, I myself have never tried using it, other people have said that it's really good for a free graphics program. I am sure it can save .ico files and if it can't, IrfanView can.

Review: Frames - There is always an alternative to these in my opinion. Rather than using frames, try using this code instead: <!-- Navigation --> <div style="height: 800px; width: 500px; overflow: scroll"> <!-- Content --> </div> Search engines cannot read through frames so this is really bad SEO which will hinder the rate of your traffic increase. If you insist on using frames, consider having a good message for those browsers with no frame support which are largely search engine bots nowadays: <noframes> Visit mysite.com for games, photos and proxies </noframes> Colour Scheme - The text colour is too indifferent to the background colour and makes it hard to find and read. Although now I've spent time trying to locate the text, I can read it perfectly well, if I was in a rush I may've left. Speed - The next thing I noticed was how long the page took to load. According to FASTERFOX page load timer, it was close to 40s on 56KB/s modem. I'd consider lowering the sie of your images and read this web speed report: ????[/tab] >> http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Proxy - Finally, if there's one thing I'd remove if I were you, it's the proxy. Proxies are forbidden at Xisto.com: [tab] >> http://forums.xisto.com/topic/33391-questions-about-proxy-and-chat-hosting-with-Xisto/ However, on the whole the site looks very good There were only a few minor technicalities which needed addressing and they can all be sorted out in a short time.

Interesting - although our current water supply comes from muddy streams, rivers and slighly acidic rain. They are hardly the cleanest supplies when found unpurified at their source but with modern cleansing agents they can become fit to drink. How come that that cannot be possible and is so much more unhygenic when done with sewage water?

I agree. It also looks as though you've disallowed googlebot from accessing the individual forums. That's obviously bad for your rank on google as it has little or no relevant content to index.

It works for firefox as well. Oh well, guess you can't believe half of what you read on the internet. Maybe it had Microsoft origins or something. Thank you electron and truefusion....

Who'd of guess a note tag could be so controversial? Lol, I've had about 50 people ask me what that means Btw, you can remove it from your signature block. Anyhoo, it looks as though mysql is up again. CLOSING....
