  1. I'm starting to wonder if maybe it's going slower due to caching or something. I've seen a lot of claims that it's done daily or very close to that, but my last update was 4 days after my last post, . Not complaining, as I'm not in a rush, just wondering if maybe this is why we often see that it takes longer.
  2. There's a few problems here. I'll go based on the CSS classes:txt-bx should have "top: 55px"The input box should have "top: -59px"For your 'label for="signup-user-name"' area, delete the "top:" altogether to make it sit rightAfter these three things are done it looks perfect.
  3. I think both of those would fit, but then you run into an issue of what type of image OpaQue wants to portray. Sometimes I think he's trying to convey that this is just a community, and sometimes I think he wants it to be viewed more as a rewards platform. Having a clear understanding as to what he's trying to market the site as would help with determining what a good name for it would be.
  4. I just want to clarify something for other readers that may misinterpret this. "Swap memory" in the HDD is extremely slow (as it's reading from a HDD and that's almost always a bottleneck). If you're using a lot of swap, you will want to upgrade RAM for the speed benefits. If you're not, then the swap is really irrelevant anyways.
  5. Welcome back! Regarding the reading through your old posts, I've found that sometimes you'll find a very different person!
  6. Alright, to do this, you will want to forward the message to a specific email address. This email will then be what notifies your phone that you got a message. This site (http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/email-to-sms/) has a lot of different ones on it, where you put your email in the format number@service.com, and it will send the SMS to you.This should help get you started!
  7. lol, and on top of that they get sued for absolutely everything. "I was in a burning car and the EMT pulled me from the car right before it exploded, but my hand got cut on the glass as he pulled me out. I'm suing for pain and suffering now!"
  8. Signing up is the easy part, it's getting affiliates that's tough. Especially with more savvy people as they prefer the well-known sites like GoDaddy and such.
  9. Does the forum look the same now as it did when you saw the links? When I am logged out or on the "light" version of the site I see the linked keywords in posts.
  10. A couple of those are a "do as I say, not as I do thing." Kind of like how people will attempt stunts on their motorcycle, knowing they could be injured and/or die from it. They know the effects and are willing to take the risks associated.
  11. Yeah, this has been a big problem for me. There's only so much a small group of people can come up with content-wise. The lack of population makes it harder to find things to respond to, and greatly limits the responses to threads you create. I think that ends up pushing people away (seeing a forum of mostly old stuff) which just makes the situation worse.
  12. Based on this, and being that it's a computer you never know for a fact what the problem is (as parts can also go "bad" over time, more or less becoming weaker), I think you're right about it being your HDD. Adding more space should help with some problems, but defragmenting should also benefit you greatly. I'm not sure what good defragmenters are cheap (I've always been against the built-in ones because they go ridiculously slow and still aren't as efficient), so someone else might have good information on that part. I personally use Diskeeper, but I think that may be a bit overkill since you don't appear to be a hardcore developer. I'd actually go for the defragging first and see if that solves your issues. Also, if you have old unused programs and such you don't use, clearing them off will help with space.
  13. I'm lost as to how you guys are getting caught up in this. Are you signing up to programs that say, for example, "$1 for a 30 day X" or something? Usually those will have small print that explains you're being signed up to 3rd party programs as well, and also lists their monthly costs.In the majority of cases these problems are just due to people saying "I ACCEPT!" without even reading what they're accepting.
  14. I get where you're coming from here, but at the end of the day we're all human. Sometimes I think being able to forget bad/wrong things we've done would be more destructive than remembering, as we'd be more likely to do those same wrong things over and over rather than learn from them. The things that bother us the most are the things we learn the most from.
  15. Really, this can go either way. Any of these items can be the cause of a bottleneck: Video card (onboard or separate) HDD CPU RAM Your HDD might be an issue in that there's probably a lot of "fragmentation" on the system (which means files are split up all over the HDD... think of it like having a deck of cards spread all over the floor of your house. It'd take you a lot longer to pick them up like that than if they were in a single stack already. The PC has the same issue). RAM speeds up systems if you're already using a lot of it (which is caused by the number and hunger-level of the programs you run at once). For video stuttering, I would actually relate it more to video memory (or lack thereof, in which it would use the CPU/RAM if I remember right). Have you had problems in the past with this stuff, or are they new problems?
  16. Yes, that one is awesome too. For some reason a lot of doctors try to relate everything to smoking. I was actually told that one of my issues I went to the hospital for was due to smoking, even though I've never smoked in my life. I do agree that smoking is bad, but the ridiculous attempt to relate absolutely everything to it just gets annoying.
  17. In case anyone reads this later, with the EFC a lower number is better (it represents "estimated financial contribution" or something, not sure the exact term). Generally speaking, 000000 will mean that you will get the maximum allowed (between federal max or school's max, depending) financial aid. Supposedly this isn't always the case, but in every situation I've seen it has been.
  18. I know what you mean! Doctors usually take the "the easiest solution is probably the right one" method when dealing with problems. "Your head fell off? Take this ibuprofen and see if you feel better. In two weeks return if your situation hasn't gotten better!"
  19. I wasn't putting down your method. I haven't really looked into how to embed videos. I was just bringing that stuff up because when I try loading those pages you linked in your posts, all the videos play flawlessly. No stuttering, no errors or anything.
  20. I'm glad you're able to find help with your problems! Sleep apnea is something I think I'd have problems coping with. I know of others that have it and also have the oxygen tank with mask, but I roll around so often while I sleep I'd be afraid to choke myself with it, tear it, etc.
  21. I run into this so often online, and it always makes me second guess what's going on. Kind of like in games, I've had people send me private messages that seem like spam, and then I realize the person just isn't able to convey their idea/question properly. That's a big problem with the world of spam we deal with every day, and it's especially problematic on things like forums and blog comments. I've probably mis-flagged a few people in the past thinking they were spamming when they weren't. Things that catch my eye the easiest are way off-topic statements. Like having a forum area about dogs and someone commenting with "how 2 fix my ps2" or linking to a site for some type of software. Generally these things I'll flag.
  22. In my recent classes overheads were no longer used, however there is a "newer" system out that consists of a touch-screen (with pen for writing) and a projector (or 2-3 depending) to display the contents on the wall. Most of the classes also had a type of camera attached so you could slide things under it and show them on the walls as well (for writing, demonstrations, etc.). So overheads aren't "gone," per se, but they have evolved!
  23. Got ya! Wouldn't just backing up the entire database manually (via phpmyadmin) work fine for avoiding that limitation? Then you can keep the entire backup in one file and not have to worry so much (for the database). The files could just be copied as well, or use cPanel to do an entire site backup. Not sure what you meant by files not being visible in the data directory anymore but I'd think a full site backup would cover anything and everything.
  24. I have the feeling this problem is related to the browser you're using or your specific codecs. Have you tried multiple browsers to see how they react? I came to this conclusion based on how "basic" the code is. It's leading me to believe that your PC is the one choosing how to handle the video.
  25. This makes sense. Another PC I have had a bad RAM stick and the PC would run fine, as long as it didn't use more than X RAM (ex. it had 2GB so if it stayed below about 1.3G it was fine, any over that and it'd BSOD or just restart). In my current one it won't even try to start, post or anything.
