Yay, I fixed it!For some reason I decided to try going to Trap on my other computer and it worked. So then I looked at new software I had installed recently. It turns out that it was a setting on PeerGuardian that was blocking it. Now I'm kinda worried about spyware here, though.

Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy for me. Simpsons is a classic, Family Guy is always really random, and Futurama just fits together perfectly. Not many people realize how well the seemingly random plots fit together.SPOILARZZ MAYBE For example, in the first episode you can actually see Fry's shadow when he gets pushed into the cryogenic freezing tube. He had to go back in time and be his own father so he could save the world from the brains. There's also some other stuff but it's just amazing how they got such a complex overplot into the series.END SPOILARZZAnyway, back when I was younger was the golden age of Cartoon Network. They had shows like Dexter's Lab, Cow and Chicken, I am Weasel, Johnny Bravo...Damn you Cartoon Network! Why did you have to change!?

The thing about doing it in Javascript is that not everyone has Javascript enabled. If it's really important to make your pages dynamic, you should do it with something that people can't turn off.That, and it may not even be possible to do it with Javascript.

The reason HTML is easier is because it's not a real language. HTML is markup: that means it tells stuff what to look like. It's not considered a language because there are no variables or conditionals or stuff like that.

What I would do is to have a field in the table for the messages that says if it has been read or not (like a boolean field), and then when the user reads the message it would update the table and change it to read. Then you could have it count the number of messages that haven't been read that way.

I don't think that there's a premade function, but you can write one, it's not that hard considering there's a function that checks if something is alphanumeric.

function is_alphanum($str) {        if(ctype_alnum($str)) {                return true;        } else {                return false;        }}

Then you just do something like

if(is_alphanum($text)) {        echo "Alphanumeric";} else {        echo "Not alphanumeric";}

Or you could just skip the function step, but whatever.

 

I apologize if there's something wrong with this post, I have to connect to Trap non-graphically through my school because I can't load it on my home connection.

I still can't get in. I'm at home now and Trap isn't loading. I'm posting this through a gr4ph1xless connection to my school's UNIX server.

There are several flaws with IQ tests. One, as Notoroge, pointed out, is that they mostly test knowledge. Also, some people have been very successful, then gotten thier IQ tested and found that it wasn't that high. Another thing is that most internet tests inflate your score a lot. They do this so you'll want to buy their results and see how "smart" you are. Of the ones posted, I'd tend to trust the MENSA one most, but IQ is really pointless.

I'm in Northern Virginia, about 25-30 minutes from Washington D.C. My ISP is Cox.

What I do is create an array of characters that I allow (Letters, numbers, spaces and/or underscores). Then I replace all those with "", and if there's still stuff in the string (if($str != "")) then I kill the script and prompt for a new string.

What sxyloverboy said will highlight it black, but when you take the mouse off it will revert back to normal. I think the best way to do it would be to use Javascript, but I don't really know it that well.

I haven't been able to access these forums in the last week or so. I thought that Xisto was down, so I didn't pay much attention to it. I'm at school now, and I see that I have -6 hosting credits. Has anyone else not been able to access Xisto from certain places?

We have to do them at the end of each marking period. Basically you get a prompt and then you have to speak about it for a set amount of time. Then you get another prompt and have to write about it. It's supposed to be this really important thing, but the prompts are a little weird. I just though of this, because I found this in my friend's AIM profile:

You are going on a big vacation this weekend, so of course your German grandmother wants to know all about it.  Unfortunately, she is mute and deaf so she can't talk on the phone.  So you decide to leave a 1:30 message for her.  Make sure to tell where you are going, what chores you are going to do, who you are going with, what kind of clothes you are packing, places you want to see, what you plan to order on your snack bread, how you plan to be healthy, what physical activity you are going to do, what tv shows you are going to watch, and how you are going to injure yourself.

I thought it was funny because that's pretty much what the prompts are. Someone wants something. You can/can't do it. Tell them what you will do there/what you are doing instead. Be sure to include this thing that would never come up in a normal conversation.

They didn't change it on the Whitehouse page.

 

A Google Bomb works by having a lot of people link to a certain page with certain anchor text. Lots of people put links on their web sites to Bush's bio with the anchor text "failure." When Google's bot goes around and finds stuff, it sees that many people used "failure" as anchor text for Bush, so it assumes that most people, when searching for "failure," would want to get Bush as a result.

I like the gray one best. The contrast of grayscale/isolated colors is really cool.

A few things are not aligned, like some tables that are right next to eachother aren't the same widths. Still better than anything I could do when I was 12, though.

Initially my .htaccess file looked like this:

# -FrontPage-
IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
AuthName http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
AuthUserFile /home/beeseven/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile /home/beeseven/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp

Then I tried adding a few things, and I got an internal server error.

Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8Content-Language: en
ErrorDocument 403 /403.shtml
ErrorDocument 404 /404.shtml

Are we not allowed to change .htaccess or I am doing it wrong? Is there supposed to be an order to put stuff in?

If this was invented in 1998 then why haven't we heard about it?

If you don't want people on /freelancers and /leannpictures, why are there links to them...?

I think it's funny, but maybe it's because I've been on the internet so long and it's given me a really sick sense of humor.

I'm not a big fan of taking old names and spelling them differently. I'll stick with the classics.Claire or Emily would be good, but I think I'd prefer Emily.

Very sorry to double post, but I was fixing my code so I didn't see someone had posted.The w3c doesn't really like putting tables inside tables, and it works better in most browsers to use rowspan and colspan instead.

Here you go:

<table style="width: 99%;" border="5"> <tr>  <td rowspan="7" colspan="2" style="width: 66%;">text</td>  <td style="width: 33%;">text</td> </tr> <tr>  <td style="width: 33%;">text</td> </tr> <tr>  <td style="width: 33%;">text</td> </tr> <tr>  <td style="width: 33%;">text</td> </tr> <tr>  <td style="width: 33%;">text</td> </tr> <tr>  <td style="width: 33%;">text</td> </tr> <tr>  <td style="width: 33%;">text</td> </tr></table>

When I was making my forums at first, I had a similar problem. If it uses sessions (I'm not very familiar with phpBB), check the logout file, and see if you can find "session_write_close();" If it's there, change it to "session_destroy();"

public_html or www. They're the same thing. It won't read correctly unless it's in one of those.
