What Country Do You Want To Visit The Most?
Dragonfly replied to shigajet's topic in General Discussion
I have been to the east side of the world so I would be interested to visit places like South Africa, Negeria, and part of United States specially those of central states which is not like east or the west coast that is fully developed and some easter european countries. It would be nice to be in New Zealand too. And I wonder why no one is interested going to India, the new raising economy and possible new world leader with China. its just a very happening place on the earth at the moment. -
Whenever I need to use I use Filezilla, simple, fast, convenient, powerful and above all at free of cost. Just type Filezilla and ask Google, you will be able to get it. Why should one spend even for ftp software. My friend has got cuteFTP and has offered me for free, but I'm satisfied with Filezilla.

Photoshop Battle Rejected Vs. Kremit
Dragonfly replied to Kremit's topic in Graphics, Design & Animation
The verdict of this photoshop battle between krem.. and rejected cannot be pronounced simply because color usage(like how many colors must be used), render, etc are not specified properly. Both are excellent on their own and class apart. If judges and critiques only see the color, definitely krem's has more color but art work doesn't count only on putting much colors either. I would vote later. lol -
Newest Sig this time no anti-alia
Dragonfly replied to Saint_Michael's topic in Graphics, Design & Animation
This sig is very unusual and is not that common. Many sig makers try to make the sig look smooth, but Michael has chosen it to appear somewhat rougher than the usual sigs. This is not bad because it makes the sig stand out above the rest and styling -brushing of the background color is excellent too. My question is, have you made sig gift(s) for Dragonfly? lol.. Its good to see sig mater on the roll and action! Keep posting SM. -
7 days a week. I always stopped by Trap Seventeen to check where my credit stands. And I should say atleast one hour a day. As you know though I may stay for that much period posting on Xisto forums isn't easy. Since everyone well disciplined and post only useful stuffs if one has nothing to say about that particuar topic or thread there's no point replying to those. I'm very happy with Xisto as it is very stable and site up time is extremely good. I feel like I'm hosted on paid server, so I don't mind coming to the site forum and spend much time, its like I am earning to pay for my paid host.. hehe.

Firstly we need to get the point raised here by <b>Guevara</b>, accordingly we may interprete and start talking about the topic called hatred towards others or just having a feeling of hatred towards bad people or institutions or whatever. Hating others or things or institutions can be all different. For example some people just hate their boss in their office simply because the boss is not allowing them to take rest unnecessarily, or teacher is strict to school children for their future. These kind of hate has no meaning. Its simply useless hatred towards others and shouldn't be encouraged.There are certain people who just hate others because they are of different races, colors, religions, etc, these kinds of people are just bad. It has no meaning as well, for in front of God everyone is the same (according to my religion, at least).But we must hate bad institution, leaders, government, etc. We must get rid of those. Hating them, however doesn't mean that we have to attack them and injure them, there is always a way to get rid of those situations and circumstances.Man by nature (or used DEFAULT - the computer language) has negative traits in him that judge him to do good or evil, you know there are certain people who know that by doing a thing others will get hurt still enjoy doing the same. This is just bad and I* don't approve. lol

What Desktop Resolution Do You Run On?
Dragonfly replied to Guevara's topic in Science and Technology
My Screen resolution is 1024x780pixels; I can't imagine visiting sites less than 1024x780. My screen is TFT 14.1" as a notebook the screen is clear and comfortable with eyes. If I sit in front of Desktop monitors without LCD screens or flat screen my eyes get hurt easily. But so far I do not have problem with my screen. Besides many sites are now designed to look good in 1024x780 and they make it look somehow visible in 800x600 because many users are still using this. Specially for designers and programmers I think Screen resolution of more than 1024x780 will be really comfortable. Guevera is using 17" monitor but is using only 800x600 screen resolution, this must be really huge. In fact, for 17" Screen size 1024x780 pixels is even quite comfortable with eyes and big enough to see everything. -
Iraq is a tricky stuff to discuss, agreement and disagreement will raise forever. However I wanted to put few words of thought here, giving out my own opinion. We cannot keep saying and shouting about Americans shouldn't have come to Iraq, they'd come and the question is, is it ripe for Americans to leave Iraq or not! Once they have liberated (in many ways whatver US interest might be, Saddam was a cruel dictator), Iraq should be given enough time to set up her own forces who can defend her country from militants and extremists who will never be able to run the country better than the present American controlled or supported goverment (call it whichever way you want). Many lives have been lost and if Americans just leave the country suddenly, those militants will surely make the country another Afghanistan (Taliban-ruled Afghanistan). Therefore, America should stay in Iraq till infrastructures as well as defence forces are set up properly. America (US) is also responsible for putting together the infrastructure of Iraq, they should leave right now. Once they leave the country, war will break and other countries who are willing to help the re-building of Iraq cannot also do the same.

Migrating A Site to a different server
Dragonfly replied to dodgerblue's topic in Web Hosting Support
This is a good way. I've tried and it worked well. But you must know that when you unzip or extract the zipped (tar) file back to your new server the file you wanted will be much inside, it will be in public_html folder which itself is much inside the root folder, just follow and get it. As for database, you will be able to see it as you follow the root folder, you need to copy the database and run the query at phpMyAdmin administration. In order to do this, first you must create database using MySQL database and also username and password. And assign the user 'all the privileges' so that you can connect it to the database from your site. Now, after running the query (which means you have to paste the whole database into the empty query form and click GO at phpMyAdmin, afterwards you must go to your site configuration and change the path, database username and password and save the configuration, it will definitely work. I hope you can manage it. All the best! -
Forum Users Age What is the average Forum Users age?
Dragonfly replied to ckuehner's topic in General Discussion
I'm moving on 26 plus and its great to be here. When it comes to web age doesn't seem to matter much. In fact, what counts really is skill and talent. But I find difficult to digest 10 years younger than me is beating me in many spheres.. hehe.. However, old is gold too. All those who are in their teens will not remain there, each year they are adding up one year to their ages and will come to our age too after some years. If they learn more this time they will become a more expert elders later on. Cheers! -
How Google Web Accelerator Works google web accelerator
Dragonfly replied to k2wl's topic in Search Engines
Since it is desinged for Broadband users if your internet connection is not a broadband connection it will not work at first. Secondly, you must meet the system requirement listed by Google web accelerator as follows: It means you must also meet their terms and conditions. I think Firefox is fast enough for any kind of browsing. Though Google has a clear privacy policy if you bother much about your privacy too much google stuffs on your browser toolbar may not be recommended as well. For those who meet the requirements may experience the net effects in turn. -
The Best Banner Program what is the best program
Dragonfly replied to s_shan55's topic in Online Advertising
I agree with him, Photoshop is the best program to make banner. You can make your own at your own taste. Banner makers are there but it may not come in the way you would have liked it to be. Besides, even though it may not be very professional, own made is always best because you can claim it as your own. Otherwise, if you don't have photoshop, I suggest you search using keywords like 'free banner', 'free banner maker", 'free website banner', 'free website banner maker', etc. Don't forget to put the word 'free' in front otherwise you will land in paid services since paid services sometimes pay to Google for their site to be listed on top those free services will not be on top thus making difficult to get your desired results. All the best! -
A very good effort on your part CAIN, but I disagree with the design concept, if the button is this big 88x31 I think it could be make more clear. I mean the text should be more visible. Clarity will count a lot, visitors aren't interested in seeing what is not very visible and appealing to their eyes. Meaning display will be there but no visitors to the link we provide. I suppose the text should be bigger and visible. And the best way to make it generally appear good is to use transparent background. If transparent background is used it could well match with all kinds of backgrounds since websites these days are really colorful and white background becomes lesser and lesser each day.

Though Mozilla firefox rakes up and continues to draw many users around the world, its just about 50 million people that are using mozilla firefox whereas the rest are probably using Internet Explorer for some reason or the other. I heard that other browsers like Opera and others have some problems unlike Internet Explorer which is made to work well with Windows Operating systems. Since more people are using Windows Operating systems I think one has to keep internet explorer as well. If I'm not a webmaster and doesn't have to bother about my sites at all I should have used Mozilla firefox but since I care about my sites and its look when visitors are seeing from all types of browsers I can't help but has to keep internet explorer as well, this way I can see how it appears in all kinds of browsers. Therefore, I mainly use internet explorer to checking my sites. So, I won't replace Internet Explorer with Firefox but will keep both together! In fact, some sites are not displaying at all in firefox and many components/plugins needed to be installed separately for firefox which makes me mad at a time.

Both are nice and looking professional in touch but invite few critiques in appearance. The first one the text - animated text doesn't look good it could be changed to something else bigger and easily readable. The second is really impressive to me. The blend of the color and also the small stripes that makes the pattern of the background is simply fantastic. Post more of your sigs when quantity is much in numbers, more quality sigs will also make their way. Some people makes few sigs and started calling their friends to rate them, how about making many and allow them to choose one from many? Good work. Keep it up. Post more...!

I have made 120$ US in the past and am still earning about 2 bucks in half a month or so. I think its worth putting adsense across rich contents, thus while you are still sleeping Google adsense makes money for you. Its priceless way of earning money with no investment. At the end of the day you are happy that you make something out of your website. Right now I'm using google adsense for both search adsense and advertisement adsense. Search adsense comes with the adsense account itself. I'm happy with google adsense, I suggest you get one. All the best!

I have experienced using microsoft frontpage, macromedia dreamweaver and namo editor. In fact, namo editor is even better than frontpage. Frontpage is where everyone usually begins after knowing a thing about html code and structure. Since frontpage is available with microsoft office its there automatically so it may be easier for anyone to just pick up and learn from it. However, you will end up with more problems as your need increases and demands intensified. Table handling is also definitely a problem. Its not exactly What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) thingy for frontpage.The advantage with Dreamweaver is that you can actually code any programs there. Including php, asp, ect. It has got many more functions and tables handling are so comfortable that you feel like playing more and more. So, even though it costs your purse, at the end of the day its much more worth investing tool than the frontpage with dissatisfied results which is openly seen by dissatisfied site visitors too. So, Dreamweaver will definitely win. For newbies their level may prompt them to praise frontpage which is quite understandable.

Happy Pills I taught myself how to make gel pills
Dragonfly replied to clagnol's topic in Graphics, Design & Animation
It lives upto its nick name 'Happy Pills'. I like this red thingy. It looks cute and bold. The lettering could be a little more clear, right now its a bit blur as you yourself have admitted. And of course like others have said, the background could be transparent as well so that you can place anywhere without appearing differently with the background of its surrounding.The shiny part looks professional. Why don't ou post some good tutorial on this kind of effect? ^^ -
Goiing Away This Week, Then Another 3 Weeks... man this is bad...
Dragonfly replied to psychiccyberfreak's topic in The Vent
Sounds like "In case my credits are out of stock, please do not cancel my account, I'll be back very soon - in another four week time." In the month of May, I was out of station for exactly 34 days, that was more than four weeks, but then once in a week I made sure that I go online even from internet cafes in and around the place where I was staying at that time. That saved me. I continue to maintain 25 something credits and it didn't bother me a little bit. It was good. The best way is to maintain a very high credits while you can be still active. Anyways, I wish you good luck during your stay there. Come back after getting trained in C++. All the best! -
9 Ways To Promote You Site Tutorial
Dragonfly replied to alexia's topic in Websites and Web Designing
You have made a very good tutorial for listing a site in the search enginges at free cost. There may not be much (nothing) left behind to promote one's site at free of cost. However, since you have included a 'web ring', I doubt if this is useful at all. I heard that many hosts, specially free hosting sites usually don't like a web-ring thing. Is this true? Besides, I heard that web-ring isn't promoting a site, is this true as well? I heard that robots can know a web-ring and they just don't like it. I'm just curious to know more about on web-ring. Thanks. -
Livejournal Or Myspace? Livejournal or Myspace?
Dragonfly replied to fillrbnny's topic in Websites and Web Designing
I also don't like both the sites. Both have become a place where fake people are sneeking around just to cheat others. Especially Myspace dot com, many useless people are around, its hard to know who is true and who is fake. Besides blogs and journals have become a place where people just pour out anything and I think many people don't bother reading such stuffs.I would remain myself and may be I would release some books sometime later, not end up in blogs and journals. hehe! -
Should Adhearus Be Sued? The site is no more, wheres my money?
Dragonfly replied to Dragonfly's topic in Business Forum
Why on earth they came to the business of doing things in the level of google adsense! If they think they can outsmart others they must stay competitive till the end. Otherwise they must compensate the lost of revenues of ad publishers. I don't think they can do well in their business if they do like this, hurting many people. I was using Adhearus for almost a year and many times one cannot access the site... sorry, pity rather!
