They are having some problem with the servers. Its affecting alot of people it seems so dont worry your not the only one. I just hope it gets fixed soon.

Ok I got this problem where when ever I talk to someone my eyes cant stay focused on their eyes for long. Keeping eye contact for me is so hard, Eventually it will go over their features including face, body parts depending on who I am talking to. This is serious I know its rude to stare at people yet I still do it, I'm wondering how many of you do it out there.It seems I do this to everyone I talk to friends, family, strangers. I feel so bad after the conversation is over and hope I didnt offend them. I know no ones perfect in looks but somehow I just do it. I'm not perfect looking myself, far from it yet I do it to others. The one annoying thing I notice is always looking at peoples teeth. My teeth isnt 100% white, clean and pefect but I still examine others for a second when talking to them, and if its slightly dirty I feel myself going "eww". And if their breath stinks its even worse I'm sure my reaction shows some sign of disgust. I dont mean to judge them but somehow I seem to do this and at most times I cant seem to stop it. Like I said these are everyone, random people, my friends and family. what are your thoughts on this? please share.

Thanks for the heads up on javascript injeciton, I never knew you could do that. Its a good think Its only intent is to try and keep the applications from users to join clean and valid as possible from user input. The applications posted to join will need to be approved by an admin or leader later on so I think it should be ok. I'll reemmber not to rely on this method for real important information being outputed back to the broswer.

Ajax is just javascript so it should be supported by any users using javascript enabled on their broswers. As for the part about support for back buttons I'm not too sure what effects it has since I've never really thought about it or tried it out.

try this out http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/.


oh when i tried a search on your blog it says post method not allowed. I dunno why but if you can change it to get instead of post.

Yeah i used to play so much lol, Me and my mates at uni would smetimes skip class to go play this for hours. I think I played it for about 1.5 years. Its just one of those games where it usally only last 20-40 mins, Its a instant action type of game based around a mini RPG leveling system. being around kills give you expereince to level up getting kills give you gold to purchase special items that can be upgraded to a final weapon or item boosting your stats. You gotta use alot of team work as 2 vs 1 player is obvious who will win. I still think about having a few games now a days because its that much fun. What I am really waiting for though is SC2 to come out then I'm defintely getting back into RTS.

I think mac os x is built on free BSD correct me if i'm wrong but I remember reading about somthing along the lines. so if your a linux user you can use that as well. I'm not sure what the limitations are on that. As with the handling of viruses and spy ware I dont even know if macs have them lol because you do get updates but they are security updates and theres no info ever that your mac is scanning for a virus or running one its not obvious I guess mac os x handles all that for you in the background. As far as an OS Its very stable. loads programs very well, I've only got 512 mb ram and I run almost all my apps pretty well including PS CS3, although When I'm running alot of things all at once I know theres alot of disk > memory swapping because I've got so little ram. I can upgrade to 2gig on my modle and its much cheaper now so I will do it soon. I think thats one of only a few downside I have on my laptop.The laptop it self is built to a high standard compared to other laptops that look bulky and flimsy. Its very thin compared to others and has a very solid look and feel to it. I personally like the grey metelic look. I think the keyboard on it isnt very suited for games as when I was playing dota on it for a while I would spam r key for a spell and eventually i messed it up lol. Now it acts funny but I dont like typeing on there anyway. I use an external keyboard thats much more comfortable. I would encourage anyone to try out a mac if you havent used one before and not take someones word for it. maybe what they dont like you can live iwth or better like. I just dont want people to miss out on trying something different just because of bad word of mouth from some peoples experence. I mean I like my mac and I've always been a windows user before that so I'm not bais Its just my peference. I think apple are a cool company and their vision is great. They bring out alot of cool products iTv iPhone, iPod. THeir new desktop looks awsome its very flat very elagent.

I've only had my macbook pro for just under 2 years now I think. before that I've been using a regular PC with windows OS 95 to XP. I've got to say I like mac os x better then any windows so far. The only down side I have so far is certain programs wont run on mac, most annoying is alot of games wont run on mac so PC is still better for games.The user interface in mac is different from windows but once you get used to it you may or may not fall in love with it. I personally found it a change from many years of windows user interfaces. As for the difference in performace between mac os x and windows its debatable. But I personally think OS x runs more stable and better. I'll run my laptop 24/7 and it still feels like its just been booted up. I dont get as many errors as I do on windows again this may be due to many factors not really windows fault but who knows. I think required upkeep on a mac is far smaller then would be required on a windows. I havent had any major problems so far compared to windows where after an a year or so of installing and removing software something is wrong with it and the only quick fix is full reinstall of windows.I think the learning curve with any new OS is a few weeks or months. You cant just use it one time and expect to fully understand it so if you havent really tired using it you dont know what its about. I still havent tried windows vista, it looks great but I dont think my old comp would run it as well as xp so I doubt I would be able to try it out throughly untill i get an upgrade or new build. It all comes down to personal peference some people will bash an OS and not really know what its ment for. there are pros and cons to all of them. Linux is something I wish I had more time to play with. Try it out if you havent used an OS before you could be surprised at what you didnt know about it.

i need some bigger glasses

man this is what happens when you ignore the obvious

the query update looks ok to me. The only reasons it wont update is if there is no record to update, If there is error because of wrong field names etc the error should return.I would check and make sure $username is assigned when used in your query, and check your database it self. say if you want to update user 'bob' check if 'bob' exist in users and 'bob' is assigned properly to $username before doing query, maybe output it just to test on the screen. I cant think of any other reasons why it will not work if its not givng back any errors.Also try to remember to assign your variables before attempting to use it. It wont work if you try and use $username and you actually assign it futher down the code because it will be blank when you are calling it before.

what do you mean delete? I only see an update statement and a select statement for displaying. If you get empty fields maybe the mysql database table is empty.maybe try move the echo after the query is done

$username = $_SESSION["username"];$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$username'");$all = mysql_fetch_array($query);$email = $all['email'];$msn = $all['msn'];$info = $all['info'];echo "$email";echo "$msn";echo "$info";

try this

$username = $_SESSION["username"];if(isset($_POST['submit'])){	$email = $_POST['email'];	$msn = $_POST['msn'];	$info = $_POST['info'];		$updateemail = "UPDATE users SET email = '$email', msn = '$msn', info = '$info'	WHERE username = '$username'";		mysql_query($updateemail) or die("culd not edit your info");		echo "info updated";}// Display logout linkecho "<p><a href=\"member.php\">Click here to go back to info page!</a></p>";echo "$email";echo "$msn";echo "$info";

$username = $_SESSION["username"]; before the if statement

this just delete the whole row in my user name so all go blank

post your other code too

include "database.php";
include "edit.inc.php";

and also include your database table layout

try moving $username above before your update query like this

$username = $_SESSION["username"];$updateemail = "UPDATE users SET email = '$email', msn = '$msn', info = '$info'WHERE username = '$username'";

Yeah wear an all blacks shirt and go into an aussie pub see what happens . within a few mins some sheep jokes will probably start coming your way and if you happen to object to those comments your probably in for a few fights lol. Too bad we ddint win. I think we lacked a solid strategy against france, They played well against us and come off the better side that day. There was other things too that sucked like that forward pass by france not called and that resulted in a converted try, but thats the way it goes you gotta play the game and try and account for referees calls going against you eventually.

Thats a pretty good site man. Theres alot of content there I was distracted for abit lol. Did you build the site from scratch? Anyway keep up the good work I'm sure the site can only improve.

I jsut had a quick look, the content seems to be good there so thats always a good thing. Nothing worse then having a nice looking site but no content. I personally dont like those types of gradients for footers and for your navigation bar. I'm no designer but I think it can look abit better and probably make your site that bit more professional. The colors seem very good overall. I think whats left really is just gradual(cant spell i know) fine tuning, making changes here and there when you can untill your satisfied. Nothing major of course it looks pretty solid as it is.

You can test it out for yourself at http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

I've been working on this page locally and it seems to be working fine but when I upload it to my Xisto account the post variables dont get saved properly. Fill in some fields and submit it, the form will come up as a empty field yet when you resubmit it without any modifications and the data you entered in orginally will now magically appear, resubmit it again and it will be gone.

This is really annoying as I have no clue why it would be doing this when it seems to work fine locally.

After a V drink and having another go at it I find the solution. Instead of printing back out $_SESSION['var'] into the form fields value, I changed it to $_POST['var'] and it works. I guess I cant rely on the sessions vars being asigned properly even though it works on my localhost. Ah another PHP problem of my programming career out of the way.

Yeah this is something I'm sure most people will have to decide on when trying to and get skills experience under your belt. The one thing that is clear is you dont have enough time to be an expert in all fields so your going to have to pick either be good(ok) at all round IT stuff. or be very good in one area and ok in the others. Me personally I would rather be very good at one thing then ok in everything. I think being very good in one area would give you an advantage over others when going for jobs that require those skill sets. I think thats what your asking right? Depending on some companies they may only want to hire people just qualified enough for the job and not get some super geek to do some basic work. So its pretty much down to what company and what they are after.So if you have generic IT skills and arnt looking to specialize in one area then there should be no problem getting generic IT jobs. I dont intent to put down anyone doing these work, hell if your already in IT business and getting paid your set if you wish to learn more you can. I think you have to with the IT field. There always seem to be new technology coming up and if you dont keep up your skills arnt going to be good for very long unless you work in an area where nothing changes as much. I see alot of high paided IT roles on offfer but they are only looking for the best. This tells you one thing you must be very good so having just generic skills wont help as much IMO.I dont know about everyone else but I think if your able to be very good in one area you'll probably be good in others too because you've been working long enough to pick up knowledge here and there. I mean eventually you gotta pick things up that you didnt know just by working in the IT area anyway. But the idea of trying to learn everything and be good at everything is a very hard task IMO. How many expert graphics designers and expert web developers do you see out there? Those skills takes years to build and they are in almost two completely different areas.I dont really know what you mean by generic either. It can mean just basic skills of IT? networking, office software.... You gotta assume that if not already most people will know these things and it wouldnt be considered as valuable as many years ago. I dont know about you guys but I'm counting on the fact that I'll eventually be very good at something rather then ok at most things and that will count for something when I go for a job.

From my experience when people need time away from each other it usually means they need time to think, Do they really want to be with you? I know it sucks but they do deserve their space to think it through. Dont be suprised if they are seen with another person the fact is if they needed space away from you is they arnt 100% sure they want to be with you. They should just be up front and tell you that but maybe they just arnt sure. My previous gf who I was with for 2+ years just said the same thing "I need time away from us". I was ok with giving her space and things seem to carry on as usual but then a few months later I find out shes dating another guy and when I confronted her about it she just said things changed her feelings changed towards me. So I pretty much saw what she ment by needing time away. Needing time away to think if she really wanted to be with me. If i had known there was another guy in the picture I would of left her *bottom* long ago. I dont really like to waste time with people.I dont blame her for leaving me but I just hated the part where she wasnt up front about it. I mean needing time away I didnt know what that really ment. If she wasnt sure or didnt want to be with me she should have just told me. I'm afraid this might be the same thing in your case so be prepared for the worse.One of the first girls I dated back when I was young was a similar situation. we were together but it was only because I never had a gf before and going through puberty so yeah it was an exciting time. I found her attractive but the feeling wasnt there and all we did was make out. Eventually I got sick of it and I just told her straight up I dont want to be with her anymore. When you know you dont love someone you gotta tell them straight up not leave them hanging on its not right. That time I was young I didnt know what love was I guess I did the right thing and not let it go on. She probably hates my guts but probably glad I told her the truth.w/e happens you'll live man people break up all the time after realising thats not the person for them.

umm "Beep" the acid test just give them a link to some newbies site lol. Theres that dark colored one I saw around here I wont name

I dont know too much about pearl well little at all but the idea of being able to merge desktop and www applications is interesting. I personally think the bridge will be closer in the near future. I've seen new articals on this topic before. wouldnt it be great to be able to build applications for both desktop and www use instead of having to build two seperate applications?

sorry bud, I never read things properly so its the ugly white space you want to get rid of? I think its caused by the height attribute

height="115"

I think if you lower it it may get rid of the white space but I think this method may have another problem since different broswers will render it differently.yeah I jsut noticed under firefox you will see the white box but under safari it will show only the control bars.I guess a more proper way is to remove background off the <embed> tagyou can try

<embed style="background:none;"

oror

<embed style="background:none"

I'm not sure whats more correct with a ';' or without. hope that works for you.edit: dosent seem to work I'll keep trying this is a annoying little problem.

ok after hours of serching I find this

https://www.daniweb.com/programming/web-development/threads/91092/disable-lock-text-input-form-fields

I didnt even know 'readonly' attributes existed. Anyway It seems to work for me so far so if anyone else is looking for the same solution there you go.

readonly='readonly'

you definitely need a : in between style="display:none"make sure its like this

style="display:none"

if that still dont work try

style="display:none;"

The first seems to work for me on my local server. maybe its just my broswer rendering it incorrectly and allowing any errors to pass. I'll check again
