  1. I didn't see this thread even though it was posted along time ago. This is really strange. And I feel scared even to stare at. The kitten looks horrible. Rather than looking like an abnormal kitten it looks more like some Alien species. This may be one of the rare of the rarest kitten seen so far.
  2. Hi Find3r!Welcome to Xisto community and forums. Here is my advice on making quality posts. Since this forum has so many posts which can be answered by newcomers you have a good chance of making many posts within few days. But just to make many posts and to increase your post don't try to make many posts. Make sure that your posts are quality in nature, effective and constructive for other users. And do not posts which contains few characters. That will be considered spam and you won't get credits rather your credits may be reduced or taken out. To make quality post which fetch many credits is not to make a very long post also, it will be rather a constructive one. And usually a constructive posts are long enough to get good amount of credits. I hope you enjoy your stay by following the tos. !!
  3. I have not noticed Google adsense paying me for 1000CPM. I have noticed that if your CPM is high rate per click goes up. Cost per click depends on two. One is click-through, whether the clicker* go to see more pages after <- snipped -> If he does it is a good sign, the ad in place is working otherwise it could be a fraud click also. Click through will pump in atleast 10cents to 2dollars. Otherwise, it could be just 1 cent. Google search bar, you don't earn anything unless people search using it and when they do they will land in search result page where ads are displayed. If those ads are clicked or visited then you earn. Usually this earning is good since people will anyway clickthrough because they are usually genuine people who search something. You are not able to control the ads displayed there. Usually 4 to 5 ads are displayed in search result. According to Google adsense TOS you are not supposed to place ads in About us, contact us, and other personal information, this could include personal gallery. But I have seen many people placing ads in personal gallery. You'd better not take risk in displaying ads there. Because galleries are not keyword rich pages and ads may not be displayed most of the time except default Public Service Ads. I hope this helps. }}
  4. All of them are good. But I have recommendation to make depending on your requirements. If you want to add some games into your forums Simple machine forums and Invision Power Board will come first before others. But the problem with IPB is that the latest version is not always free whereas SMF is free. But if you want just for the sake of forum I think phpBB is the best, it's free and easy to set up and modify around. But these days most of these forums can be integrated into content management sites which is even better, why not go for them and have more features in it?
  5. Let me tell you my experience. If you are running on Microsoft Windows XP professioanal or Home operating system why not use the Firewall that comes with this windows itself. It is quite good. Sometimes ago, I was using firewall by Alexa but they themselves seem to collect some information from my system. So, I stopped using them.
  6. When it comes to laptop as we all know even general intel processors don't do very well and for this purpose intel has come up with centrino processors which take care of the heat emitting lesser heat than what normal processors do. I think because of this Centrino powered laptops are favorites everywhere and they perform very well and there are price difference too. This is the case with AMD as well. So, I think Intel scores much above AMD in laptops.
  7. That's alot friend. But I wonder do you really want your valuable file to be on file hoster like putfile and others. They are visible and they can actually take your file. For image file hosting I use imageshack.us which I'm quite satisfied with. They are one of the best image free hosting I've ever seen.
  8. Firstly, you must tell us which cms. Because I usually download cms for using online. I have never used any cms for intranet or offline purpose. And I also want to ask you which cms you are talking about. Because there are many cms today. CMS simply is an abbreviation of Content Management System. There is hardly any cms I have not tried using online from php-nuke, post-nuke, dragonfly-cms, phpWebsite, to Xoops, mambo, joomla, drupal, etomite, e107 and others. To respond to your answer, I usually download cms to get the latest version because what we get in Fantastico in webhosting Cpanel are not always the latest and if we just install we need to upgrade again. Because of that I usually download. If you want to know how to install on the web of any particular cms, you can read REAM ME files and INSTALLATION guide that comes along with those cms. I hope this helps.
  9. Hi Opaque,I've read TOS in the beginning, mentioning about placing the banner on top if we want our account to be up, I mean the hosting to be up and running in case of our inability to make posts. So, it becomes abit like Xisto.net. And we can pull down the banners when we are ready to accumulate credits.Is this still valid or this clause is no more? For me, I am very satisfied with Xisto.com hosting. Even my sub-domain at Xisto.com is ranked 3 in the google ranking. Last time I went for one month vacation, but my credit was around 40 so it didn't effect anything. It was good. But I was ready to place the banners also in case my vacation extends. But to tell you the truth even in one month vacation will anyone of us not access to the internet? Because during that time whenever I checked my email I just make one post here also, that way my credit was maintained in a good position. I think everyone can do that. I can't think of living without internet for more than one month.
  10. Let me also just give my thought on this so that you may be more impressed to use the software everyone is talking about. I also use Wordpress for my own journal and blog. It is simple and very easy to use. Try the latest version of Wordpress. otherwise, if you want to go hassle free sans hosting worry - Blogspot.com - Google blog is the best... put adsense and start making money even...
  11. Nice color combinations. It looks cute. Four ways or things to further improve the appearance is :Firstly, you could put padding in the table where your content is, so that the texts don't touch the edge or border. Secondly, like most members say cut the left protruding portion of the banner on top to give a symmetrical look to the site and banner. Thirdly, increase your google adsense size to 120x240 or 120x600. You still have enough space!Fourth and last but not the least, look for the forum template to match the site theme. That's my take.. Thanks!
  12. A car moving in water? Why not have a good car and a good boat or ship? Of course it is always good to have one which can do play many roles for us. But i think it will be too much to ask from a car to perform well as a ship or boat as well.
  13. This post is very informative. I never hardly thinks about the consequence of drinking milk. I actually thought milk to be just good enough to help us with many ingredients which we need. Like most of you said it is not neccessarily a need for one to drink milk after grown up. But milk is definitely healthy if we choose the right one. Really? Now it makes me think deeply what factors apart from milk might have contributed to hairs? Asians in the east and far east are less hairy compare to Asians in the South.. and South Asians are those who drinks milk alot. Just another proof to your observation...
  14. That's not a bad idea. I want to see any particular market become more competitive which is good for end users like us. If more players come they will be more inventive and innovative in their approach so as to beat their opponents in the market. Apple with such a good name in computers and ipods, should they come to mobile phone will definitely do well like others.Some members have said that companies are greedy.... Every companies like to see their business expand like most of us will like our pay to be hiked, so on and so forth.. afterall who doesn't want to get more!
  15. I have changed my mobile recently. Now I have Samsung foldable mobile phone. Since it is small I like it. It doesn't have camera phone in it. Most with camera come with a huge size and its a burden to carry camera wherever one goes. And mobile cameras are never as clear as what a good quality camera can take pictures. So, I just go for simple phone and separate quality camera.There is a simple reason to like Samsung. If you drop Nokia and other phones in water, they will stopped working, in most of the cases. And you need to give it for servicing. In Samsung, even if you drop the mobile phone inside water if you shake off the water and dried you can use normally...
  16. I always recommend people to use mambo content management system or joomla content management system, preferrably the lastest version. So does, the components. I think you should upgrade your Simpleboard forum to mamboboard which will be more stable and more powerful as well, though no much different are there right now. The layout is not bad but the horizontal scroll puts me off... I'm visiting from Firefox browser with 1024x768pixels monitors and I am getting the horizontal scroll bar. I hope you can make the width of the site variable or otherwise fix at below 800x600pixels. Many net users are still using those resolutions.The footer template copyright looks like this site is owned by Tim-online, who is known for his the phpBB component contribution for mambo and joomla powered sites. Why is his email, fax number ana address are all listed in your site, just to let people know that the template creator of your site is all about.. I think link to his site http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ is enough or you could put only http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ where he is the admin again. And you could disable CB (community builder) workflow module in the right. It looks weird for site visitors to see that portion. That's my take. Thanks for the credits.
  17. Dark blue is the color of my choice in Jeans pant. But I wear all kinds of color these days. Because dark blue sometimes don't match very well with all types of T-shirts.And ligh blue-almost greyish color has lately attracted me too. Jeans is very comfortable to wear unless for formal gathering and occassions.
  18. Wow nice picture Mayank.... Belated Happy Holi, its a two-day event in many places. .... I think in some places the way they celebrate Holi is more intense and this we often notice. In North India this festival is bigger and people like to play even several days before the real Holi Festival begins.What I like about Holi is people just play with colors for fun. This way friends and foes alike come together and make peace with one another. What I don't like about Holi is people playing even before the festival begins and some ignorant kids and even mature guys throw water to people who are coming near their house or street and alleys. When you are going somewhere for something important if you are wet it can be very much embarrassing....
  19. I am not a big fan of internet explorer but in the mean time I don't see any reason for me to hate this browser. Long before firefox browser came out properly I had been using and it was of great help. In fact, more than 70% of internet users are still using the IE and one has to take care how these people are viewing my sites. So, I can't dumb this internet explorer at least for now. Of course, if one likes firefox doesn't mean they they have to hate other browsers. :(What I hate on Firefox browser is that if I leave the window (browser) open with some sites and I come back to use it will give error, this problem happens all the time whereas IE windows can be used. And thereafter it will ask me to send report. Unless I restart my system the firefox won't work... this I hope will be improved soon.
  20. Wow, that's a very good news, something open source lovers must cheer about. As I said in other threads as well, I don't want to see Microsoft only dominating these office tools as well. It is a very welcome move for Google to have come up with this idea. I hope they will succeed as well. They are the company which can take on Microsoft. So there are many reasons to go for Google. A very good news.
  21. I think most of the major domain registration sites are accepting paypal. Ipowerweb as suggested by some member is a good one. But I would recommend you to go for https://de.godaddy.com/ for cheap domain registration. They are a big company with good support and good reputation. Remember Godaddy girl! Just check out their website for more details. It was quite cheap when I last visited their website.
  22. Very useful tips on making websites load faster. The problem is images. If I want to make it looks good it should retain the maximum colors which give clarity to the images but just for the sake of loading faster if I reduce the picture quality clarity is being sacrificed. I'm still thinking if there is another way to implement this. Because my site needs many images in the homepage itself. And for CSS, what rvalkass said is very useful. Putting all the CSS in one file. I used to have different css for different pages. Nice tip.
  23. Your site is nice, simple in layout and is easy to navigate. The only problem I see is the spelling of the URL. Symple instead of simple. I can see that you have put lots of hard-work on your site. It contains many items. One item or menu if you include in the site which will serve customers greatly is FORUM or discussion board where customers can say something even before they actually buy the products. This is good for confidence building measures between your customers and your company. That's all my take.
  24. For a willing mind nothing is too hard. I think this sums up well what you are curious about. The simplest way to understand C and C++ is that it is a bit more advance than HTML coding. If you have understood HTML, you would probably know it needs abit of extra attention. And the same goes with all sort of programming languages. Learn slowly, and practice alot. This will help you greatly.
  25. Yes, there are certain people who have benefitted books like that and might have make a good amount of money. But such path involves risks. What if you buy the book in $100 and never be able to apply it in reality? Chance is that you may just spend a hundred dollar for nothing. The safest way to earn money without having to spend a single penny is to put google adsense in your website. When visitors visit your pages and see advertisements related to your site content they may want to visit those links and in turn give you money. You don't have to pay anything for google adsense. But when your earning amounts to $100 or more in a month you will get payment in the next month. This is the safest way. In another words, google adsense is also affiliate programme. Also in the adsense advertisements they will put 'advertise in this site' link if visitors click there and advertise in your website click-through rate will be higher. I hope this helps.
