Actually, Aequitas, I don't even think you can use forms in this situation. Well, it might be possible, though it'd be way too complicated. Perhaps you meant tables? Anyway, what you're trying to accomplish here is commonly called a layout scheme, i.e. you're tackling the presentation of your Web-page. Lately, the recommended action is to use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) whenever you're dealing with the presentation of your Website. It's almost standardized, straight-forward, and actually easier all-around. Using frames has long been frowned upon, since it causes too many problems, both with visibility and Search Engine indexing. And using tables is complicated and its rendering may very well vary on different browsers. Your safest bid is to use CSS and the <div> tag. If you hadn't heard of this method before, there's no need to worry. It doesn't take a lot to learn, and once you understand it, you'll find that it makes things so much easier. Here's a good introduction that would explain it all, step-by-step: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Give this short tutorial a shot. And if, after reading it, you still have questions, feel welcome to post again. This simple method has been a life-saver for me for so long, and I'd love for others to benefit from it . Cheers.

Just A Digital Drawing I Recently Made... : )
iGuest replied to leafbunk's topic in Graphics, Design & Animation
Pretty cool drawing. Maybe they should go over to the Xisto where all the good Graphics people are??? ( tee hee hee ) -
That date cannot be certain but hopefully that will be the latest the gameplay is like a game called runescape (http://www.runescape.com/) and graphics is like a game called Guildwars (https://www.guildwars.com/en/) but graphics are also simmilar to a game called Wolfenstien Enemy Territory hopefully this game will be a great hit as i have worked very hard on it i currently have over 1000 people wanting to play for it i am looking for more coders so if you are experianced in coding look at my other topic, the site is http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ (not all links are working but most are)

I am mainly looking for someone who has experiance in Php, Html & Mysql but if you are experianced in C++ & javascript that would be a great help:i am currently working on a game called Medi-Evil Quest this is a 3d morpg and hopefully will become a mmorpg but to do so i will need more than just 4 coders i beileve i would only need another 6 coders tops so if you are experianced in coding and want to get involved in this project either email me on Nuzv355g@aol.com or add me on msn at jarvis_3@hotmail.com, note i am only 15 but i have alot of experiance and i allready have the site up for the game it is currently http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ (only being hosted on that is not the real domain)

or www folder (which is simply an alias of the public_html).If it was uploaded to the account root folder, it will, not be accessible from the web. You should be able to move it between folders from your cpanel, too.

The gaps in the index for this table are not critical to anything. The Index does not need to be continuous at all, what-so-ever. As mentioned by m^e, you could create more grief by messing with this than it is worth to have nice, neat indexes. Let the MySql worry about that.

Yes, bakr. Currently, only an administrator can change the Display Name and/or Username of members, and that goes for all the members (well, obviously other than the admins themselves.. lol). This is what the senior administrator, Microscopic^Earthling, told me once in response to the same question . It depends. If you're asking about the sub-domain of your hosting account, e.g. ****.astahost.com, then that can be easily changed on the https://support.xisto.com/ page. It costs 15 credits, though. But if you're asking about the username of your hosting package, then no. The only way to change your hosting username is to totally re-set your hosting account, i.e. delete it and re-create it. At least, that's what I understood after several PMs with senior members and moderators. Cheers.
-
Currently, the only way to change your Display Name is to PM one of the admins and request the change. Notice that only Admins can fulfill your request; moderators can't. Cheers.

Yes, pyost, that's what I understood from your first post. And the modification I mentioned above fixes this. I saved the page in question and the style sheet file to my hard disk, changed the <link href="..."> attribute accordingly, modified the style sheet file, and opened the page. The box now covers all the page content within its dimensions. Are you sure you modified the style sheet file properly? Perhaps you could try copying and pasting the following code directly into the style sheet after clearing it and see how it goes... it's your original CSS with the modification: html { height: 100%;}body { background: #ffffff url(images/bg.png) repeat-x top left; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, "sans serif"; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;}a { text-decoration: none; color: #2780f9;}a:hover { color: #000000;}td { font-size: 12px;}#wrapper { margin: 30px auto 0px auto; background-color: #ffffff; width: 788px; border: 1px solid #ffffff; text-align: left;}#header { width: 100%; background: #8d9299 url(images/logo.jpg) no-repeat top left; height: 100px;}#ocene a { text-decoration: none; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px; color: #0000ff; font-weight: bold; position: relative;}#ocene a:hover { border: none;}#ocene a span { display: none;}#ocene a.imp { color: #ff0000; z-index: 1;}#ocene a:hover span { display: block; background-color: #e5e5e5; border: 1px solid #000000; width: 300px; position: absolute; top: 30px; left: 15px; padding: 2px; font-weight: normal; color: #000000; z-index: 2;}#ocene td { line-height: 20px; text-align: center; padding: 2px; width: 125px;}#ocene #top1 { border-right: 1px solid #dedede; border-bottom: 1px solid #dedede;}#ocene #top2 { border-top: 1px solid #dedede; border-right: 1px solid #dedede; border-bottom: 1px solid #dedede; background-color: #f0f0f0; height: 30px; line-height: 30px;}#ocene #top3 { border-top: 1px solid #dedede; border-right: 1px solid #dedede; border-bottom: 1px solid #dedede; background-color: #f0f0f0; height: 30px; line-height: 30px; }#ocene .subject { border-right: 1px solid #dedede; border-left: 1px solid #dedede; border-bottom: 1px solid #dedede; background-color: #f0f0f0;}#ocene .empty { border-right: 1px solid #dedede; border-bottom: 1px solid #dedede;}#ocene .avg { border-bottom: 1px solid #dedede; border-right: 1px solid #dedede;}#ocene .avgempty { border-bottom: 1px solid #dedede;}#ocene .main { border-right: 1px solid #dedede; border-bottom: 1px solid #dedede;}#ocene .allavg { border-right: 1px solid #dedede; border-left: 1px solid #dedede; border-bottom: 1px solid #dedede; width: 400px;}input { background-color: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #000000; padding: 1px;}#sidebar { width: 200px;}.module { width: 200px; background: #ffffff url(images/module.png) repeat-x top left; margin-bottom: 20px; font-size: 12px;}.module h3 { height: 40px; line-height: 40px; padding: 0 10px 0 10px; margin: 0; font-size: 20px; text-transform: lowercase; font-weight: normal; border-bottom: 1px solid #ffffff;}.module a { display: block; width: 180px !important; width: 200px; margin: 0 auto 0 auto; padding: 0 10px 0 10px; line-height: 22px; text-decoration: none; color: #000000; border-bottom: 1px solid #ffffff;}.module a:hover { color: #ffffff; background-color: #8d9299;}#active { color: #ffffff; background-color: #8d9299;}#footer { height: 30px; text-align: center; line-height: 30px; background-color: #8d9299; color: #46494d;}#footer a { color: #46494d;}#footer a:hover { color: #ffffff;} And I know it might be too obvious, but I forget to do it all the time... did you refresh the page after you modified the style sheet?
-
Right. Well, the problem here is not related to the position but rather to the z-index. All you have to do is make the following modifications to the Cascading Style Sheet file: #ocene a.imp { color: #ff0000; z-index: 1; } #ocene a:hover span { display: block; background-color: #e5e5e5; border: 1px solid #000000; width: 300px; position: absolute; top: 30px; left: 15px; padding: 2px; font-weight: normal; color: #000000; z-index: 2; } This will set the span container higher than its OWN container on the stack order. And the nice thing here is that it won't affect any other aspect of the document, since the z-index only works on elements that have been positioned, e.g. the <a> block. I hope that's what you were asking for, pyost. If not, please let us know so that we could continue working on it ------- EDIT: ------- I'm sorry, TavoxPeru. I wrote my post while you were writing yours and didn't notice it Cheers.

iGuest replied to CaptainRon's topic in General Discussion
... Well, honestly CaptainRon, this fine lady here is an absolute knock-out. I suppose you brought that conversation upon yourself.. lol. As for babes hitting technical forums, I haven't met all that many, either. But I do know one fiiiine Russian girl (who happens to be an absolute hottie, by the way ) on another technical forum. They're a rare breed, yes, but they DO exist, bless their souls ! Cheers, and looking forward for the next "hitting-on-ya" conversation -
Well, even though I don't believe changing colors depending on the severity of errors would make a big difference for Microsoft or its product users, there might be some valid reasons behind it... 1) It could help the visually-impaired to a certain extent. I mean, aside from Total color Blindness (a.k.a. Visual Agnosia), there are two types of color blindness: Red-Green and Blue-Yellow. So people with either of these two types can differentiate between a *red* and a *blue* screen. 2) I haven't tested Vista yet so this might be totally wrong, but perhaps the BSoD is now reserved for serious warnings rather than mild errors. Or maybe the RSoD only appears when the Operating System is faced with something really detrimental that won't be solved by merely restarting the PC. Unfortunately, I don't have the time at the moment to check the validity of this assumption, but perhaps those of you who know more about Vista can shed some light on this? It'd be great 3) Perhaps, for some reason, Microsoft customers' feedback asked for this feature. I think it's rather unrealistic to assume that big enough a number of customers asked for such a feature/change to grant its actual implementation, but who knows! 4) Its another one of Microsoft utterly out-of-the-blue, useless changes that keep showing up every now and then. It could be just a publicity stunt of sorts. It could be a feeble attempt to promote Vista as having yet another new feature. Microsoft is well-known for its being a marketing company more than for anything else. All in all, although I don't think this is something that will have actual impact on the user experience itself, I don't see a real problem with having it. After all, it *supposedly* won't come up unless a PC is really screwed. And since I very rarely encountered a BSoD using XP, I'll give Microsoft the benefit of doubt and assume that a RSoD is going to appear even more rarely in Vista Cheers.

Even though the situation is basically resolved now, which is great for you , I'd just like to mention its most probable cause so that you don't have to wonder if it happens again... Occasionally, a thread which a moderator or an administrator deems as SPAM will get deleted, along with all the posts in it, of course. When that happens, the credits of each of those posts will be taken back from its respective member, resulting in a seemingly unjustified credit decrease. That's why it's advisable that, whenever you see a thread that you believe is SPAM, you don't post in it, even if you're merely warning the thread starter, since this will lead to a temporary (i.e. deceptive) increase in your credit count until the thread is deleted. What you can do is to notify the responsible moderator through the REPORT button. It'd be a great help, anyway . Cheers.

Hi.Another aspect of the color change will be its health issued. Many people have issues with certain colors on computers, mainly being red. And as BitShift said, changing the color doesnt really fix anything. An error is an error in my book. Another problem with the BSOD & RSOD is that many times they're not displayed long enough to assess the situation. I believe microsoft could come up with a more appealing user freiendly and more helpfule critical error system. Personally i believe Windows Vista will be Microsoft's downfall. Microsoft needs to focus on producing a stable, multi-industry functional operating system even if this means a long, unwanted development period.

Since this thread seems to tackle many different issues, I'll try to express my opinion as briefly as I can, and hope that I nonetheless convey my thoughts correctly and thoroughly. I'm an agnostic, and I thus don't believe that it's possible for us to know for sure whether there's actually a god or not. But after studying a good number of current major religions, I came to the conclusion that none of those religions can be a revelation by the Supreme Being that created this universe, if that being does exist. But that's my own conviction. Yes, I believe it's built on very sound grounds, but I suppose that's how everyone feels about their belief/logic/religion/etc. So the following thoughts will assume that no religion is a Godly one, i.e. revealed by a God. First of all, it seems that a lot of religious people believe that, without religion, people will turn immoral and unethical, and basically become thieves and murderers. I tend to wholeheartedly disagree. Religion don't have a monopoly on ethics and morals, as any objective observer would most likely conclude. Just compare Europe (as an example of a continent with a predominantly non-religious population) to North America (as an example of a continent with a predominantly religious population, statistics-wise). I admit that most religions do promote ethics and morals. The problem is that those morals are static. They don't change with time; they can't. For example, in ancient Egypt, it was a rather common practice for a man to marry his sister. It was even a royal custom. It wasn't "immoral" back then. But religion came and made it so. And now, incestuous relations are a spreading phenomenon. I'm not advocating either situation here; I'm merely trying to show that religious morals have to always remain the same, even if time proves that they aren't practical or reasonable. Naturally, there are those morals that are universally acceptable, such as honesty, good manners, etc. But then again, religion doesn't have a monopoly on those, either. Most philosophers, thinkers, even politicians promote the same thing. Conclusion #1: One can't say that religion is the only way to be "good." (I won't delve into a critical discussion of goodness now, don't worry ) ----- Now back to the original idea of this thread, which was "Religion Isn't That Bad..." Honestly, I largely agree! You see, just as religion doesn't have a monopoly on morals, it doesn't have a monopoly on ignorance, cruelty, or self-indulgence, either. Those are human traits; it's up to US to choose which traits we adopt. Religions doesn't make us "good," but it doesn't make us "bad," either. BUT... Most religions provide a "Control Mechanism" for their clergies. Be it Christianity, Islam, Judaism, or any other religion, their "Holy Books" contain words. Words are interpretable by people. And for most religious folk, they accept the interpretation of the Clergy as true. So it becomes up to the clergy to decide what those "holy" texts say... THEY get to deem *this* good and *that* bad. So if the clergy is corrupted, the religious followers are consequentially corrupted. If the clergy declares a Holy War is in order, then it's time for a blood bath, because hey, God wills it, right? Conclusion #2: Religion isn't good or bad in and of itself... it only has the potential to be either this or that. Or even both, as an aspect of it can be good while another is bad. ----- And, to conclude this long (and, I know, rather boring ) post, I'll say this... If a certain religion can be attributed to the Creator, and the Creator tells us (through the texts of that religion) to either follow it or go to Hell (quite literally), then I believe this religion should be followed, no questions asked! But, even then, we have to come up with a way to limit the infinite power the clergy has. And by "we," I mean believers AND non-believers. Because this is a matter that affects all of us, as human beings who share the same space, time, and dimension. Finally, I apologize for my faulty use of English grammar. I tried my best to make this post as comprehensible as possible, and I'm sorry if it wasn't quite so. All the best

Necessary? It depends, really. I mean, Web Science would be probably be something like Economics or Social Sciences. Many people think these are helpful sciences, ones that can help define AND refine our present and future. But they certainly aren't necessary in the conventional sense. After all, going back in time, there was no such thing as Economics or Social Sciences, and yet the sun kept shining . So I believe the question is not whether Web Science is necessary or not. It's more about how useful it can be. And, if we keep on comparing it to current sciences, I believe it'll prove to be one of the most useful sciences yet. You see, the Internet has changed basically every aspect of our civilization. The change hasn't been restricted to information exchange and collaboration, or even to financial and business matters. It has affected our psyches and thinking methodologies to a degree no one would've imagined even 5 years. Take a quick look at the exponential spread of blogs to get a glimpse of what I'm talking about. Go to Internet-Business forums and watch kids under the age of 15 discussing ways to build money-making Websites, and coming up with new techniques to use Google AdSense and PayPal. Seriously, the Internet changed everything! I'm not familiar (yet) with the inner aspect of what Web Science is going to be like, but I imagine it to be the forming of rather complex relationships between our current sciences (such as psychology, social sciences, IT, economics, law, etc.) and a new paradigm of thinking that hasn't been named yet. There's a rather entertaining, yet accurate, description of this paradigm in a book called Cyberia by Douglas Rushkoff. You guys should read it; it's a true eye-opener in many ways. I think "patterns" is a word that shouldn't be lightly used in this context. So far, the Internet has proved to be more like a "fractal," where patterns are but a building block for other, much more complex structures. The word "pattern" implies predictability. And while Web Science is, naturally, about understanding the Web and its implications, expecting "patterns" at this point would be, I believe, too much to ask. Perhaps it'd be best if we simply look forward to "temporary trends" . Phew... Sorry for being such a big mouth. It's just that there are certain subjects which I find too good to miss . I'll leave now before I get drawn back in. Have a great day/night, everyone.

iGuest replied to cryptonx's topic in Introductions
Welcome back, cryptonx Even though I'm not one of the people you used to know (I'm rather new), I find your writing style very friendly. Plus, I'm from Egypt too, so it's become a national duty for me to welcome you . Opaque is still around, of course, given the fact that he IS the owner of this forum and its siblings. He might be juuust a tad busier than you remember him now, with the Xisto Network steadily growing. He still makes an appearance every once in a while, though. Hope to see more of you around from now on. Have a great time . -
You mentioned the method to remove a file using http://php.net/unlink , have you looked at that? Why the file is locked, could be a number of reasons, you're not the owner or a super user who can remove that file, it's in use so locked for that reason and possibly a number of other reasons. PHP Shell is just the same as using PHP on the web, it's just ran in a command line way, so it's not different than doing it through a page. How are you trying to remove the file, via FTP? If that's not working and you can't upload a file, or edit it etc, then you might have to ask your host for support to find out why this is happening, they could be doing some server updates/changes and have locked it for these reasons so you don't corrupt anything on your server while these changes are happening. Cheers, MC
