My computer seems to be working fine. I've installed a firewall so that blocks basically aboiut every application from accessing the internet that I don't want. My computer hasn't actually changed at all. If it wasn't for AVG, I woudln't have known.

Last night, I downloaded an AVI video file and I've always had trouble playing AVI so I searched the internet for a free AVI player. I found one but somehow, when I ran the program, nothing happened. I (very stupidly) couldn't be bothered to uninstall it. I opened VLC media player and it worked fine.This morning, however, I turn my computer and get a warning from AVG Anti Virus that the AVI player I installed was a Trojan Horse. I moved it to the Virus Vault and wiped the files. I then went into the Program Files folder and deleted the Avi Player folder. I also did what Wikipedia saaid and deleted my temporary internet files.Anyway, if anybody can explain what a Trojan Horse is and if I have took the right methods to get rid of it, I would be grateful.

It's working now! =] Yay

I'm having trouble logging into Xisto. When I login with the top bar, it sends me to the login page, and when I login page, it sends me to http://forums.xisto.com/index.php?httums/forums.html And I'm still not logged in. I've tried on FF and IE. I'm at school and it's the only place where it will actually log me into Trap. I've got a feeling this will damage my credits.

I came across a website with a PSP file extenstion the other day, so I was curious and began to Google it. (I do a LOT of Google-ing ) It didn't come up with many responses so I gave up. That was just a brief explanation but it helped so thanks.

Php Random Titles Learn to create neat-o random titles
MiniK replied to KansukeKojima's topic in General Discussion
This is how I would do it: <?php$title[1] = "This will be more fun that that time - never mind...";$title[2] = "Another random title... neat eh?";$title[3] = "I've got wood... in my fire place...";$title[4] = "More ranom titles? Cool!";$random_select = rand(1, 4);$randomtitle = $title[$random_select];print("<html><head><title>");print($randomtitle);print("</title></head><body>content</body></html>");?> Broken down: $title[1] = "This will be more fun that that time - never mind...";$title[2] = "Another random title... neat eh?";$title[3] = "I've got wood... in my fire place...";$title[4] = "More ranom titles? Cool!"; The variables. In this case, the random titles. $random_select = rand(1, 4);$randomtitle = $title[$random_select]; The random_select gets the random title. The randomtitle also generates the random title but is simplified to use with one variable. print("<html><head><title>");print($randomtitle);print("</title></head><body>content</body></html>"); I chose to use the print function but I guess echo would work. The rest is pretty self-explanatory. -
This is my opinion: hackers wouldn't do these things if flaws weren't blatantly screamed across the internet. Google should resolve these issues and nothing should be said. If someone searched Google for: "google toolbar flaws", it comes up with a whole list of websites that tell you about the flaw, what hackers could do etc. If a hacker just Googled "google toolbar flaws", they can instantly come up with a whole list of ways to hack into Google Toolbar.

Email Address Protection From Spam Bots
MiniK replied to delivi's topic in Websites and Web Designing
To be honest, I don't mind spam. I don't get many emails so any email makes me happy. xP -
You don't have to worry about installing it. There's been 8 release candidates...if there's any bugs left to find, I'd be surprised.

I used to use some website builder called BlueVoda(I think). Since then(a couple of years ago), I have learned to code in HTML, PHP and MySQL. I have to admit that PHP is my favourite Server-Side language ever invented. xD
-
If you have the time to go on the website and post the relevant information, surely you have thoroughly read the features list. ::PSo, in the end, there wasn't any false advertising.

I have to admit that SMF is pretty cool but, to be honest, I'm not that keen on Tiny Portal. SMF by itself is enough for me. Especially since they've got SSI.php. It's the best forum-website integration system I've come across.

To be honest, I prefer the phpBB3 admin panel to phpBB2's..

Sorry, I'm rubbish at Flash. Anyway, I've recently discovered LightWindow. It's VERY similar to LightBox but it allows LOADS more stuff. Like forms, flash, pictures, external files, websites etc. clicky

It sounds cool. I'll take a look.

Hey. I'm making an unofficial RP for a book series I enjoy reading. It's a long story really, but the official RP was a Proboards forum and I don't particularly like PB. Recently, the admin purchased a new domain and is hosting it as a phpBB3 board. I got rather annoyed because I have a domain that would suit the RP better but I don't use it, and I would have been happy to give it to them for free. (I also would like to point out that most of the staff on there are staff on the official forum I don't particularly like the admin ) Anyway, I'm going to launch an unofficial RP to try and prove to everybody that normal members can run a successful RP but I'm having trouble selecting the right forum software. So I'll make a list of the 4 that appeal to me the most: SMF - I've been using SMF for as long as I can remember and I've thought that it has a user-friendly and staff-friendly interface and a VERY clean admin panel. It has nice and friendly index.php?action= URLs. The SMF website has a nice theme and mod database. It has the SSI.php file which helps extremely to integrate your board into an already-existing website and has easy user management. HOWEVER, I've tried creating a simple mod for the software and it was just extremely complicated. They don't give much help when it comes to creating mods or themes. If you want to find out about how to create mods, you have to speak to somebody who knows how to create mods or trialanderror it until the mod works. Same for themes. I dunno whether it's just me as a crap coder or what... Moving swiftly on... phpBB(3) - phpBB3 has an EXCELLENT design. I've fallen in love with all phpBB3 themes. They just look so professional. Also, I've never tried but I reckon it is quite easy to create mods as they are seperate files instead of all stuffed into the index file. Considering that it's been out for a while, there aren't many phpBB3 mods out there..It's the complete opposite for themes. It's in the RC8 stage now and there's loads of themes out there. In a nutshell, phpBB3 is good design&function-wise but sometimes the installer fails and you end up reinstalling all of it. (Don't be put off, it happened once and it hasn't happened since) vBulletin - Most professional and top-class websites use vBulletin but I don't know why people choose it over many others. I suppose I only put VB on the list because I'm influenced by other sites using it. I've had a look at the demo and it doesn't look /that/ good. I suppose I won't be using that for many reasons, especially cost-wise. IPB - Ah, I've left the best 'til last - I suppose. I've always wanted to own an IPB because they look so cool. I mean, I know it sounds weird but it just sounds like a grown up thing to own one. I think IPB might suit the board best but I dunno. I'm not an expert. If anybody has any experience with the forum softwares above, I would be appreciated if you could help. Thanks

Yeah they do. It works perfectly.

Installing Theme On Smf Forum Need help doing it
MiniK replied to AlphaOfDoom's topic in Web Hosting Support
Here's how ta do it. Go to your Admin panel, and under "Configuration", click "Themes and Layout". At the bottom, it says "Install a New Theme". In the "From a file:" box, find the ZIP file, and press "Install". You should get a confirmation message, and then be taken back to the "Themes and Layout" page. Now, in the "Themes and Layout Settings" section, set "Overall forum default:" to your new theme and "Reset everyone to:" Forum Default. It should now be installed. I've installed PLENTY of themes on SMF. -
After 5 hours of standing in the freezing cold, we eventually got in. I got my sticka. We waited downstairs for an hour or so, we were called upstairs section by section. We were told what was happening - also that we weren't permitted to take ANY pictures or videos inside the theatre. After an hour or so of waiting, Dan and Abbie went in. They then came to get us. Started to speak to an impressionist and a female comedian. The woman took my picture. I was eventually asked to come into the audition room and stand on the grey "X". He asked me a few questions, and then to start my routine. I started but after the first joke, my mind went blank. After a few seconds, I apologised and carried on. He asked me some more questions and then it was over. I'm definately out now..

I'm making a website that will contain jokes and hopefully maintain a successful community. I thought of the name "The Comedy Club" but I am having trouble on which font to choose for the logo. In order there is: [ank]* Laffayette Comic Pro tintin Cheri Badaboom BB Kill Switch Mom`s Typewriter If you can please vote for your favourite(s), it would be greatly appreciated. I will be changing the colour scheme to match the finished website but I chose red as it is simple and easy to see. Cheers, Ryan

Cheers, Liam. They only gave me 8 days notice for the auditions and I've only 4 days left until I face the producer. :-/
