  1. Both of them are excellent, thank you both for your help.I am going to use banners for a new site based around, yes, elevenmil. When I use yours I'll give credit where it is due :lol:Thanks again, I may have one more adjustment for your image T.F. but other than that its excellent...if I were to use it on my webpage I'd like to have a 'saying' on it...Excellent work from the both of you and thanks for your time spent on these images :P


  2. I've known of hybernation feature but rarely use it. Firstly I don't even shut off my computer. Secondly I hear hybernation hurts the computer, using hybernation over a long period of time shortens the lifespan of your computer.Then again my statement regarding not using hybernation to protect lifespan can be voided as I'm sure leaving computer on isn't too healthy either......or maybe I'm just stupid altogether.


  3. wild20,

    My site is run by "Joomla!" http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

    To add new templates, modules, and components, http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

    The default template will make your site look like a blog, but you don't even have to edit index and css files to reorder the content. You can reformat module positions simply by editing the modules themselves. There you can position where you want each selected module to go.

    If you need more specific help you can contact me PM or AIM (elevenmil). I've been using this program for almost a month now and I know just about everything you need to know to get things started.


  4. Take the advice from those who've posted above, but here is how I prepare for the slopes :huh:1. Take food and drink, put in a backpack.If you're low on cash, do this. Food and drinks are extremely expensive. I'm a skiier in PA, I go to Seven Springs. EVERYTHING you look at is overpriced.2. Overdress.It never hurts to wear more than what you need. If it's a warm day, which it's been frequent this winter in PA, don't overlook the fact that when it starts to get dark the winds will pick up and it will get cold.3. Goggles.Get ski goggles. Not only will they protect you from a blinding sun reflecting off of the snow, but it'll protect you from nature's elements and, if your resort has them, the snow makers.4. Practice on a local hill.If you have a small hill around your home, put on your ski's and give it a shot. You'll get the feel of things. Also try on your boots and walk around in them. Ski boots are weird and it makes you lean forward, you have to adjust. Walking up and down stairs as a newbie will lead to frustration ;).5. Start out slow on the hills.Go on some flat trails or bunny slopes. The ski resort should have a "training" area with a rope tow that you should practice on for a while. Then shoot down a mountain and see how you do, remember to use the plow method.6. DON'T BE AFRAIDThe most important thing to note is the fact that you can't be afraid on the hill. If you're going to fall, don't fight it, just fall! First of all, just falling will most likely prevent injury (if you fight it you may land awkwardly and injure yourself)Hope you have a good time on the slopes ;)


  5. Everyone goes through rejection, heck even you will, probably more than once, it's just the way things go.Tell her how you feel, but don't be ignorant. Basically I'd use the "I'm not looking for a relationship right now" excuse, and go on from there. I think she'll fall for that :huh:I'm sure since time has passed since the initial thread that you've already done some work on this situation, but you can still use this and other posts as "future reference" ;)


  6. Size: between 650 and 750 x150Theme: Up to authorRender: Up to author...Render Theme: games, soldier, whatever floats your boat...Color: blue, yellow, red, black, or green (NO SPECIFIC COLOR, YOU CAN CHOOSE ;), I would like an overall darker theme )Text: elevenmilOther effects: I'd like overall image to be darker, not a light image...Basically I've created a subdomain for my Xisto - Web Hosting site which will be the home of my personal site (I miss my old personal site :huh:). So I need a header image for the elevenmil that is me. There's no specifics here, so be creative if you want ;) I'll adjust layout colors in accordance to the theme of the image ;)Thanks ;)


  7. Nope, nope, I've yet to experience any downtimes in quite some time. Take BuffaloHELP's advice when you experience problems because what he says is right. Compared to a few months ago when mysql downtimes were frequent, Trap has rocked of late service wise. I present no complaints :rolleyes:


  8. I just tried out Opera after using IE for a long long time and I have to admit I'm not really impressed with Opera. It takes up enormous space while I run the program and it slows down other programs that are running at the same time. On the other hand, I haven't experienced the same problems when using IE, and in addition, having multiple IE browsers open at the same time while running additional programs. I haven't tried Firefox or Mozilla but will test them out soon since I just haven't found Opera to be so good :rolleyes: . Many say IE is lower tier to other browswers, but to date, I like it :)


  9. In addition to be hosted here at Xisto, I opened up an account with Xisto - Web Hosting and for the most part my new Joomla! powered website is up and running, all I need to do is fill up some content and readjust table colors and positions. But for now tell me what you think, the positives and negatives, what you like and what I can do to improve the look and feel of my site.Pay special attention to the image header, it was made by BuffaloHELP :rolleyes:


  10. Now I hope we're all aware here that SM will most likely not read these replies, but I guess it is nice to send him off with a farewell to one of the most active members here ever. Only the ones who have been here for a long time can truely realize his contributions and ability to keep the forum lively, although new members can acknowledge he was probably the first name you saw when you signed up.SM was a great contributor but like many times change and people move on. It's great to be a part of this community but we all know there's just a point in time where priorities take over and certain things aren't as important as they once were. Despite my desire to stay here for a long, long time, I have seen many active members fizzle away since I started here, and SM is just the latest of the many to leave, and his exit is considered a major one here at Xisto. If you are having troubles in life like SM, please, get some help. His emotions are quite disturbing and, for real, I do hope his life straightens out. We can all act so nice and pleasant in the forums, but you just never know who exactly you're talking to in real life.So now we move on, Xisto members, this forum has progressed so much since I came here, and despite his departure, I don't doubt new active members can replace what we'll miss from him.


  11. Wow buddy it looks great :) Very nice job. Of course you will get credit where credit is due :)

    Notice from jlhaslip:
    *edit* Ignore this request, elevenmil has it done already *edit*One more tiny little thingy...could you possibly stretch homepage header to 735x150? The forum image is great and only make changes if you want to :D
    Thanks Buffalo I'll make sure you are recognized.

  12. Size: 635x150 Theme: Poker RelatedRender: YesRender Theme: Anything Poker (Poker Chips, Cards, Tables)Color: Dark Blue/White/Gray/Black (Doesn't have to include all of these colors)Text: Yes. I would like two of the same images, one saying "Johnstown Poker" and the other "Johnstown Poker Forums"Other effects: Anything else if desired :)* Just to repeat, I would like two images, one that includes text "Johnstown Poker" and one that includes "Johnstown Poker Forums". One will be used in my mambo powerd homepage and the other for my forum.Thank you!


  13. elevinmil, did you even read any of the posts before yours? I mentioned in the post right above yours what the benefits would be - millions of dollars saved in fuel required to lift off, heat shielding would no longer be an issue, and those two things are the main (if not only, thus far) causes of failed manned space missions.

     

    And in order to fix a stopped lift, all one would have to do would be send up another lift after it, have some "spacewalkers" repair the lift, and then you're good to go again. Of course, that's assuming a lift would break down, which, considering how much service the lift would have, wouldn't be a problem, since it would be constantly being upgraded, repaired, etc. before being used.

    I don't believe in benefits from this, and like I said before all of this is fairy tale gibberish.

     

    How can we possibly "save" millions of dollars? Firstly, the cost of this thing would be horrendous, and I don't believe it's free to travel up however-many-miles it takes to get to space. The whole project in itself is unsafe and would be undesireable by a majority. In addition imagine the elements this object would go through. Obviously we are aware that as we climb the elements change (weather, wind, and up 30 miles God-knows-what...) The stress just from nature's elements would be of significance.

     

    I'm all against the stupid space studies we do anymore. Why in the heck are we sending some spacecraft to roam around Pluto??? Why not use that money to stregthen our economy? Why not halt the project and buy each American a couple loaves of bread instead? NASA is unbelievable...I wish I could blow off hundreds of millions of dollars just because I was curious about something...

     

    Why don't we examine our own planet before venturing off onto others? I think Earth has a level of importance incomparable to anything else other than our sun...


  14. I love IPB's but I would never pay for one. I don't use FTP for anything and I'll admit, I've never used it. I can't find IPB in Fantastico, has it been taken out of our add-on selection?...I am so familiar with IPB that I don't want to have to start learning the in's and out's of another forum software nor learn the usage of FTP :(.Is it possible to make my life as a webmaster here easier? :(


  15. Ah, good 'ol April Fools Day, a day where pranks are plentiful and the people immature :(. Back in my grade school days I frequently traded pranks with people, especially my family. :( One day I came home, sat my parents down, and told them I had gotten a girl pregnant! And they believed it! Another time I had dyed my hair a disgusting purple and showed it to my dad before work, telling him this was going to be my new look. Knowing that he absolutely would hate me for doing it, I did it :( (only it was a wash away dye that would go away just by showering :D ). Interesting story you gave us. I was never actually sure how April Fool's Day came about, but I'm sure I've heard the story, probably a long time ago though.This will be an interesting thread, maybe we'll get a variety of pranks I can possibly use this upcoming April :(
