I can understand why people would pay $5/month for using google. Let's face it $5 is almost a neglibile fee for the >2GB space provided with GMail and the picture quality provided with Google Earth. However, many competitors would jump at this opportunity to release a product (almost) as good as Google's products so there wouldn't be much point in paying in the first place. Besides, google would never do that as they'd lose the one thing which makes them so valued and popular around the web world, they're free. So my answer is NO. I wouldn't pay as it wouldn't be long before Yahoo! Earth is released and Yahoo! Mail increase their storage size to 2 gigs.

It could be done but not with text but with images. Firstly you'd need to create 2 images, one which is your normal link text and one the link rollover text: <= Normal <= Rollover And add the following code into your webpage, altering the URIs respectively: <input type="image" name="submit" value="Alternative Text" src="set_normal.png" onMouseOver="this.src='set_normal_rollover.png';" onMouseOut="this.src='set_normal.png';" onClick="this.form.submit()"> [hr=shade].[/hr] In fact come to think about it, you may even just be able to use plain text links: <a href="this.form.submit()" name="submit"> Set </a> But I'm not sure. The former method should work but I haven't tested it yet. Both methods use javascript so you would need to provide a <noscript> alternative using the standard submit button.

So you want to display the files/folders in a directory alphabetically? The code is as follows: <?$path = "";$files_gathered = array();$dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open $path");echo "Directory Listing of $path<br/>"; while($file = readdir($dir_handle)) { if(is_dir($file)) { continue; } else if($file != '.' && $file != '..') { $files_gathered[] = $file; }}//closing the directoryclosedir($dir_handle);// begin sorting and displaying the files $files_gathered = sort ($files_gathered); $count = count ($files_gathered); for ($loop_start = 0; isset($files_gathered[$loop_start]); $loopstart++) { echo "<a href='" . $path . $files_gathered[$loop_start] . "' title="' . $files_gathered[$loop_start] . "'> " . $files_gathered[$loop_start] . " </a> <br />"; } ?> I haven't tested it yet but it should still work

We are not asking that you give us your street address, just your country. If you don't feel comfortable about disclosing your exact age, name or whatever then don't. You could, for example, just say that your name was Matt rather than Matthew William Smith and you age was ~15 in lieu of 17. We only do that so that, methinks, we get an idea of who uses the free web hosting service offered by Xisto.

What Is BMI (Body Mass Index?) Body Mass Index or BMI for short is the measure of how much someone weighs in proportion to their height. The formula for working out somebody's BMI is as follows: Alternatively, you can download a spreadsheet which will do the calculations for you: >> Open Office Calc Format (.ods) (8KB) >> Microsoft Excel 97/2000/XP Format (.xls) (7KB) Using the BMI calculation above you can work out how obese you are: Less than 18 (<18) Underweight Between 18 and 25 (18 - 25) Ideal Weight Between 25 and 30 (25 - 30) Overweight Over 30 (>30) Obese (Endangering Health) [hr=shade]However, there is one problem with utilising such a scale. It isn't scientific but pseudo-scientific. It has been used by medical professionals but was ne'er a product of of medical research. Much has been discovered about the human body since 200 years when the first chart was produced.[/hr] It is now known that human muscle contributes to the mass of the body more than fat does. Moreover, long distance athletes would be classified underweight using such a chart despite that they are regarded as the correct composite for their profession.

It is a very well designed site and neatly organised. Considering, you've used flash the pages load quickly. Some improvements though: If you want to be indexed on google and other search engines, you should have some text on the page like "Clan site for the 131st Rifle Brigade" as search engines can't read flash. When people are trying to search for you site amidst the tabs/windows they have open, it would be easier if they have something to go by. At the moment, you just have "Untitled Document". Changing the <title> text will also help search engines index your site. Your overall rating: 9/10 - Really well designed and designed in such a way that all browsers can open it. However not very search engine friendly. You should provide an on/off switch for the music. edit: I've just realised that the music I've been hearing is coming from your site! However when I went to turn it off so it wouldn't distract what I was listening to already, there wasn't an off/mute switch. You should provide one.

You have a very well designed site which in my opinion is the most important part as your visitors' first impressions on your site will be on its design. It loads smoothly in under 10s. One comment though is that I think it's unneccessary for people to have to click twice to open the forum page. Perhaps you could open the forums up in a new page when they click on the forums button on the navigation menu. I would also recommend, if you're not planning to do so already, that you download or make a skin for phpBB matching the colour scheme on your homepage and for any other mods (ie chat, guestbook) you may install for your site. You may also consider making the entire banner at the top of the page direct the visitor to the homepage rather than just the link. [hr=shade] Using Mozilla Firefox through a 56k internet connection on a 1024x768 screen resolution, your site looks okay and runs smoothly. Therefore I rate it: ? 9/10 [/hr]

Thank you WindAndWater

Say I have a variable such as $nav_item and it had to contents Home. IE: $nav_item = 'Home'; How would I make so that $nav_item was an array and had the following contents? $nav_item = array ('h', 'o', 'm', 'e'); With the case changing (ie H would become h and U would become u) EDIT: Okay found out that I could change the case with array_change_key_case ($nav_item, CASE_LOWER);

Well, they're not that fantastic but here's mine anyway:

Well here it is, my first sig in about 6 months or so. Comments, constructive criticism and compliments welcome.

EDIT: FTP works fine from this end. I get an Unable To Setup Secure Anonymous FTP Error but that's just because I don't have the password. Have you checked firewalls and stuff? Usually they wouldn't give 404 errors but you never know....

IE6 uses both the alt and title attributes for tooltips. If the alt attribute is present however, IE will take preference to it and use it as a tooltip but if it isn't, it will use the title attribute. Ie: [hr=shade] <a href="/" title="Aunty Mauvais"> <img src="Image2.gif" alt="Johnny"></a> [/hr] Will show Johnny as the tooltip <a href="/" title="Aunty Mauvais"> <img src="Image2.gif"></a> Will show Aunty Mauvais as the tooltip <a href="/" title="Aunty Mauvais"> <img src="Image2.gif" alt=""></a> Will show no the tooltip [hr=shade][/hr]

APRIL FOOL Haha Hope I fooled someone!

Because it's incorrect. I did delete a message recently. Could it be then when someone deletes a message, the new message counter decreases?

Just noticed this when I logged on this morning: Are there others with this problem or is it just a bug which effected me only. Does anyone know how to get rid of it?

I agree with that. Maybe the government should set-up "smoking booths" similar to those of the public telephone points. Send police into pubs and other public places where people will be highly inclined to smoke and then collect lots of revenue. Being a non-smoker and not having the intention to smoke, I'm in full favour of the ban. It'll take the awful smell out of places where many people have smoked and it'll be a strong deterrent for those who start. Moving to Regional Affairs > UK

I think it's because some of the cookies are set to expire at the end of the session. I've managed to overcome that by utilising the Add 'N' Edit Cookies extension for firefox. When you install it, all you need to do is edit the expiration date of the cookies set to some time in 2007.

C'est la vie! And until people hate football it was always be that way. On the other hand though, they are the best and I think you're vent ignores their talent. Not everyone can be the best in the country and it's that way with all jobs. The best get the best.It would be hard to split the money equally. Arsenal aren't going to let Barclays sponsor them if all the sponsorship money goes to the RSPCA and the RSPB.

Ideas The content is good but your design and placement of objects on your website needs working on. Firstly, I'd place the header of all your webpages at the top, especially the one on the homepage. You have to scroll down to see that one. Secondly, you should get rid of some of the marquees especially when they're not necessary (whereby I mean when the text would fit on without them). You could replace some or all of them with scrollbars by using the following html code: <div style="height: XXXpx; overflow: scroll"> <!-- Text previously marqueed --> </div> Thirdly, you could move the links in the "Useful links for you to use" section to the navigation section at the top of the page. Then you could align the main table in the centre and it'd help it look better. As for traffic, you need to get your site noticed. The design tweaks mentioned above won't draw in traffic but it may keep it. Set-up an affiliates section on your site and affiliate with high-traffic websites. Not only will it draw in traffic but also increase your page-rank. Register to popular forums and sell your website*. It may get you banned, but it could help draw in invaluable visitors. After that, be patient and the rest will sort itself out. *edit: Thought of a better idea. Ask people to review your site instead. Then you get traffic AND ideas on how to better it.

Okay, well today I've started learning C++ and after about 30 minutes I've managed to compile my first program All it does is prompt you to type a number in between 1 and 10. If it's not in that range, it adds/subtracts until it is. The best part is you get to see it add/subtract the numbers up one-by-one! Code: #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { // Define variables int anumber; cout<<"Please enter a number between 1 and 10"; cin>> anumber; cin.ignore(); if (anumber > 10) { cout<<"\nNumber above 10!\n\n"; } else if (anumber < 1) { cout<<"\nNumber below 1!\n\n"; } else { cout<<"\nYou entered "<< anumber <<" which is between 1 and 10\n\n"; } if (anumber > 10) { cout<<"Decreasing number entered to 10....\n\n"; for (int a = anumber; a > 10; a--) { cout<< a <<"\n"; } cout<<"10\n\n"; } else if (anumber < 1) { cout<<"Increasing number entered to 1....\n\n"; for (int b = anumber; b < 1; b++) { cout<< b <<"\n"; } cout<<"1\n\n"; } cin.get(); } Download (454kb): http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ PS: Learning C++ seems so far so much easier if you know php
