Not that I know of. It is purely your responsibility to back up your site once in a while. Since we are all volunteers at this forum, we will not do that for you. You are correct. I have no clue when the MySQL server will be fixed. All I know that this problem has not persisted on for more than 1 day, so it should be back later today or early tomorrow. What I recommend is to backup your MySQL database periodically so that your content won't be lost in the future. Again, sorry for all the inconvenience.

I don't like the border. Looks odd. I also don't like the background because it's way too complicated, and it takes your eye off the render. There's also a huge blank space to the left of the render...

Guys. Relax. MySQL is down for all users hosted on Xisto. You did not do anything wrong. Usually this happens because a member was playing around with a poorly coded script, so the server admin had to take down MySQL. It should be back up shortly so please be patient. Also, do not delete your MySQL database because it's not your fault.

Here's mine:

Link to Sig of the Week #7: http://forums.xisto.com/topic/27549-sig-of-the-week-7-the-hardest-challange-yet/ Here, you can talk about the entries for Sig of the Week #7. Keep it clean, please.

Haha, my computer came with an Internet Explorer with the Google Toolbar installed, so whenever I want to see a page's pagerank, I just copy the address from Firefox to Internet Explorer, and I get the PageRank right away. The firefox extension is good, too because it's supported by Google.

He was the rights to do that. This is the Request Sig forum, so he (or any other member) can ask one of us to make a sig. It's not a gift sig though.

Don't get nervous, don't stutter, and be yourself. If you noticed, I reversed the way that you act around her because the three qualities that you mentioned (especially the first two) is not appealing and attractive to girls. You have to be confident. Treat her as one of your guy friends. Play with her. Tease her. Make fun of her. Sounds crazy, but it shows that you have the confident to make fun of her and point out her bad qualities.

42 is the answer to life, the universe, and everything. Every nerd knows that number. Don't forget your towel.

It would have been so much cooler if it were 666 and 42. Oh well. Still pretty cool though.

AHH! The dating forum is possessed! Maybe that's why I'm "the only one" on.

The background is monochromatic, and the text doesn't match the rest of the sig. The opposite thing that you mention does not work quite as well here. Maybe it will if the background were mainly black...Anyway, lose the inner bevel or inned shadow on the text, make it red, and it should look a little better. Try not making the background monochromatic, and you should be fine.

No, Michael. Lozbo is right. I've had this trouble when coding templates. If you use a really long word, then I suggest just using the wordwrap function in PHP to break it down. Like Lozbo said, if you're typing normally, then your word should wrap, and you will be fine. Long words are what usually break layout anyway, and there is really no way to fix this (I may be wrong, so you CSS gurus correct me if I am).

I don't think he's asking about domain names, but you can change your domain name if you want. Just make a request for it in the domain name change forum. You can change your content any time you want, but they still have to abide by the Terms of Service. That means no porn or warez. That's it.

If it weren't for the text, your entire sig would look bare. It looks good in that the background color matches the render color. The only bad thing is that you can see the render too well. Try making it larger or something. Also, his right arm looks like it's glowing.The only thing I'd change is to make the render more prominent and the text more readable.

Yeah, I got that. I switched from my 300 Mhz Pentium I processor to a 2.5 Ghz Intel Celeron. At first, the change was ridiculous. Everything was so fast, so naturally, I loaded a whole bunch of games and useless stuff on it. Then, like a Celeron, it slowed down really bad until I had to restart my computer once in a while like you, so I reformatted it, and now it's fast again.

Here's one: http://www.hackingwithphp.com/22/0/0 It's called Practical PHP Programming. I have not read any of the chapters yet, but from what I see, it could be good. Check it out.

Thanks. I love the sig's color, too. Never rener with a magic wand. You will not be able to get a close enough cut. Instead, zoom into the border at 1600%, select the Polygonal Lasso tool, and start cutting. If your background is a single color, then you can try to use the magic wand to cut, but if your background is really complicated, cutting with the wand will hurt you. You can also try checking out a cutting tutorial here (made by Phyre). Thank you. You're welcome.

The only reason why I'm posting this is so that you guys can critique the little fireball thing that I made. Right now, it looks a bit like a glowing magnifying glass on his palms. What do you think?

Since I can't host this at imageshack, I had to go to mediaupload.net to upload it. This one is a little big (1.09 MB), so you feel free to shrink it down if you want. I realize that it's a little bit sloppy near the fingers, but, holistically, it looks good. I also made a spiderman sig for the occasion as well. C&C on both are welcomed. Tell me if the render doesn't work for you, and I'll give you the alternative URL.

Interesting thread. I can see that this will be a 10+ pager.I got my username because it combines my first and last name, some words that describe me, and the year that I was born.

Haha. The website that I got this particular one from...I cannot share because it wouldn't be appropriate for Xisto, but if you want to find potential renders, go to gamewallpapers.com or gamewallpapers.ru as Frozen said in some thread. Just find the ones that you think you can cut well, save them, cut them, and post them. That's it.

Dang! Very good. I think your style is tech, so you should make more tech sigs. I love it. The only thing I'd change is the shadow of the render in the gap. Just take that out, and you'll be fine, but it looks awesome right now.

First of all,this is Spectre we're talking about. He used to be an admin and a moderator, but got "kicked" off because he was not active. I don't even have to google this, and I know that he typed this. Please don't make accusations like this again without researching first. Second, this is an awesome tutorial. It will be very helpful for beginners learning PHP, and while they're here, they can apply for an account and try it out. Thanks for posting it. Another site that I found is: http://www.hackingwithphp.com/22/0/0 (Practical PHP Programming)

O.o No. You can still have parked domains if you have a top-level domain. Just buy one, go into your cpanel, and park it. Don't use the automated script. Since your question has been answered, I'm closing this thread.
