    Gmail Drive

    I created a new gmail account and signed up for gmailhost.com do you how long I'll need wait for it to start functioning?
  2. click on the Green "+" on the left side of any of my posts (Xisto Reputation: ). Thanks
  3. $50 is overpaid for setting up a forum, if you want change ur password i'll setup your forum for you. for free of course .
  4. 5GB of bandwidth is alot for an average sized forum.
  5. Dreamweaver is good, but dont like its interface, its very hard to find the tool I want, also the loading speed is another minus. Other than that, Dreamweaver is a really good editor.
  6. Here I'll give u a quick start. PART A - Setup Databse 1. When you get your account, login to your cPanel. 2. Click on "MySQL Databases" 3. Create a new MySQL database. 4. On the same page create a new MySQL User. 5. After creating a user and database, on the same page give your new user the "ALL" Privileges to your newly created database. 6. Remember your database name and your username and password. PART B - Install phpBB 1. Download phpBB from https://www.phpbb.com/downloads/ 2. Upload this file you downloaded to the /public_html/ folder by using File Manager in cPanel. 3. Now you should see ie. /public_html/phpBB.zip in File Manager. 4. Click on the file then click on i think Extract Content (On the top right corner) 5. Now you should have /public_html/phpBB/ you can always rename this folder to something different. 6. Then go to http://forums.xisto.com (this should be the folder u named)/install/install.php 7. Then just follow the install procedures carefully. PART C - MISC. CHMOD - This is the access privileges, phpBB might ask you to change the CHMOD of certain files or folder, you can do this by using File Manager or an FTP Program (I suggest FlashFXP, 30 full trial) Use your forum as the main page - you'll have to extract all the files in /public_html/phpBB/ into /public_html/. Or you can create a index.html to redirect.
  7. Awsome, I cant wait to see your final production.
  8. I doubt that China will ever initiate any kind of conflicts, I saying this looking at their course of histories.
  9. Any hosting plan here at Xisto will be more than enough for your forum. If you dont host at Xisto, 1 MySQL is the minimal requirement, 20MB space if more than enough for the forum itself.
  10. Yea if you want to use windows servers, you'll need to learn ASP. Its more convenient to use ASP in Windows enviroment because you dont really need to setup all the PHP, Apache servers etc... to test. But now days alot of good scripts are written in php like wordpress, forums etc...
  11. I use Photoshop, because its powerful, its popular I have no problem finding tutorials.
  12. CSI (Las Vegas, Miami and New York)Hustle (some uk tv show I found on bt, its really good)The ApprenticeThe O.C.SmallvilleSimple LifeThe Daily Show with John Stuard Pimp My RideThe Office
  13. Great tips, I never realized how important this is, espicially the first 100 words tip.
  14. Haha, I heard about this from the Daily Show by John Stuart. Funny sutff
  15. The text book is also another reason, but China itself have done similar stuff, like covering invasion of Vietnam in Chiense textbooks. Here is the source to the oil issue: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
  16. I dont think that is the main cause of the outrage. The reason is Japan approved the oil drilling rights for two companies to drill for oil in China Sea WITHOUT China's approval! From my point of view, this is called invasion.
  17. I was about to get a PS2 next month along with this game, I dont know if its worth buying at this time, since Sony and Microsoft are both coming out with their next generation gaming system soon.
  18. Damn that suck! This means there wont be any Playboy photo shots anytime soon, or maybe there never will be!
  19. Normally you just upload the file into a folder created in /public_html, then you'll need to setup a new MySQL datebase and give full permission for the database to a MySQL user. Then you usually just run a install.php file located somewhere in your forum folder.I'm not too familiar with YaBB, since it uses Perl, I dont know what other procedures you need to do before running.If you dont mind, use phpBB instead, its free and you can put Google Ads in the forum. Also I have more experience with this forum than YaBB, therefore I give you better technical support.
  20. Another vote GIMP, its free and should work nicely with older computers.
  21. Before I had the same problem with PDF files, usually when I'm loading large PDF files. I think the problem is caused by Firefox attempting to download the whole file first before showing it. Ever since I have installing Adobe reader 7, its been more responsive when opening large PDF files.Also there are differences when loading in different broswers. When loading the same PDF file in IE, I acutally see the progress of the file in the status bar, in Firefox it shows nothing, so feels like it froze.
  22. I dont think it is a good idea to remove IE, since Windows itself relies on IE. Also I doubt that IE is interfering with your Firefox plug-ins.
  23. I remember a shortcut key to capture image in wmp, even with hardware image overlay on, I think it was CTRL+I but I doesnt work any more with wmp10
  24. I finally got my adsense approved by google, I like how I can customize the ads, hope it works well. Also I heard Adblock extension can block google adsense? that sucks if its true
