You are on "closed resort" and you didn't invite us? How rude! :)Have a good time. See you when you get back. Rest up for the all of us.

Email can be fooled to "look alike" it was sent from the source claimed to be by manipulating mail headers. In PHP this is achieved simply by:

 

<?php
$to      = 'nobody@example.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" .
   'Reply-To: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" .
   'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

 

What it cannot fool is the "Received" portion of the full header. In Yahoo and Gmail you can see the full header by click on "show full header" or "show original," respectively.

 

In the full header contains many information but it cannot disguise the originated IP address (in bold) such as:

Even when originated IP can be fooled (next paragraph can explain) the SPF cannot be faked (another bold from quote above). This is another reason people register proper SPF so that their emails are not marked as spam. This is another method many popular email servers will base how to filter spam from legitimate email. When you see "this email is not from where it claims" (at least in Gmail) this is how they identify spam emails.

 

A script can be originated from the hosting of Xisto by creating a free account under Xisto server(s) and send a quick mail script. This is why spamming accounts are quickly suspended form any of our free web hosting accounts. Since the email can be sent from the same server IP as "Xisto" it can pass for the correct IP address of Xisto mail.

 

In any case, see the full header information and if you can forward the copy to OpaQue. He can investigate further and put a stop to spammer's phishing attempt(s).

This is either performed through cpanel or domain control itself.2) Configure your google apps by verifying domain ownership.Any additional questions you can post them here.

It doesn't sound like the faulty NIC because he said it works fine if the laptop is connected to the cable modem directly.Either your router's port is faulty or you could be using cross-over cable.Try connecting your laptop using a network cable to different port in your router. If you have been using connection #1, try connection #2 or 4. Try connecting your laptop to a different router, such as your friends or at school.If any of those above works fine, you may be looking at a faulty router.Check to see if the network cable you have been using is not cross-over cable. Look at the cable ends side by side, and count the colors in the same sequence. If they are out of order you are using cross-over cable.The proper cable color usually found in 568B:(W stands for "white")1-w.orange, 2-orange, 3-w.green, 4-blue, 5-w.blue, 6-green, 7-w.brown, 8-brownWhen you are looking at the terminated end, the plastic tab is facing down. You count the pins from left to right numbering 1 to 8. Let us know how it goes.

It's far better than what I can do. I think I will give you 9 out of 10 on this one.

OpaQue, stop stalling and get back to work *whip crack* :)Sorry OpaQue. All the support for ya! We're anxiously waiting for some normalcy around here

No.But you can achieve that by using PHP code and INCLUDE command.PHP INCLUDE is a very nice function. You can include the same static HTML code to any page by simply,

include ('file_name.ext');

But you must use .php extension to the page being included, for example, home.php, reviews.php, etc.You can use .html or .htm and still use this PHP INCLUDE command. You will need to modify htaccess in that directory.

RemoveHandler .html .htmAddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html  

Make this your .htaccess file and in your regular .html or .htm file insert the code

<?php include('nav_menu.php'); ?>

Your regular .html or .htm file can now parse PHP commands.There is another method to include within regular HTML file. That is to use OBJECT to include another .html or .htm file. But I believe this make your webpage load slower.You can also use iframe to include another page but it may not be good for certain SEO.

In case you didn't already noticed, the forum was acting stranger while OpaQue was upgrading the forum to the next version. This is the price you pay for purchasing a working script that is complete new to both--the IPBoard company and OpaQue.And with this upgrade, OpaQue notified me that myCENT will be delayed. It's an unforeseen delay that we have to ask you all to wait a little longer before your myCENT is updated.If you have received an invoice please submit a ticket to Xisto - Support so that OpaQue can buy you time. Please be aware that your hosting is inconvenienced AND OpaQue is working day and night trying to resolve this. This means he is not being compensated because he is "paying" your invoices with his own funds. I just wanted you to see the both sides. Oh, by the way, I have not seen this month's invoice for my hosting accounts. I'm assuming OpaQue went ahead and took care of those. I am also assuming he did the same for you(hopefully ).I have not being around past two weeks or so. That's true. My friend's son went through his 35th spinal fusion surgery and I drove his family to Cleveland Clinic. That's about 5 hours from where I live and I did not pack everything with me when I left. And with every surgery like this it comes with great risk and there were moments we thought we lost him. And when I returned I had to host my future in-laws while they were visiting. If you are married you know how that can be. It's nice to be back on the normal routine. Keep me informed with your forum kinks and let's iron them together.

Topic is resolved.Please PM any moderator to continue this discussion. Until then, this topic is closed.

web_designer, are you opening a new window when you click into the chat room? Meaning, do you open multiple windows--one for the forum and one for the chat?

You can burn an ISO image to a disk (unpack) and then make your altercations. Once you have made your modification you can then recreate another ISO image.As far as I know, it's hard to modify few files within ISO because of checksum.

I used to love using MS Outlook. But they bring more trouble than its convenience.If you have the ability, uninstall MS Outlook. Use and check your email using the web browser for now. By uninstalling Outlook you can eliminate the possibility that your Outlook is sending unauthorized email (worm). Remove or change all SMTP/POP password with your ISP (if you have one).And monitor your email activity for about 1 week or so. Oh, this also means change your Yahoo or whatever your main email account's password(s). In the mean time, you can begin to remove suspected trojan or worm in your computer. Run antispyware and antivirus in SAFE mode as well. If you don't know how to enter in SAFE mode search the web for your computer. Usually hold down the F8 button when you start your computer and you'll see startup options.Finally, if you are still unsure about the complete removal go out and purchase antispyware or antivirus. They are about $30-$40 and it may be better than going through annual service or subscription.

I am closing this thread because OpaQue is rewriting the forum credit system script.Until further notice, this topic is closed.

Alerting how many members are chatting feature is currently disabled. You don't know the exact number of chatters until you enter the room.

Forum the script or Forum the intricate social weaving?If you understood 5 years after creating, what chance do I have of understanding it now? HA HA HA. You're too humble at times

On May 19th, OpaQue announced his plans for rewritting the myCENT code for the new forum. Unless he gets distracted with other things hopefully he should have a working script by the end of this month.He also announced that those who are having issues with your suspended hosting due to myCENT shortage, please email him directly so that he can do something about it.Log into your Billing page, submit a ticket with ATTENTION: OpaQue regarding myCENT and suspended account. Include in your support ticket that your account was suspended because myCENT was not updating.Or, use the direct email "support (AT) Xisto - Web Hosting {dot} com"

Dear Xisto members,We are very and truly sorry for this inconvenience. It's been over a week, over 10 days and now we're all into 3 weeks since our forum upgrade and myCENT is not being updated for your active roles in this forum. For that, I would like to apologize on behalf of Xisto.com.I will try to get the exact date (not estimated or projected) when myCENT will be turning back on and give you an immediate update.Please stand by little bit longer and hang onto your patience little bit while. With much appreciation,Buffalo

Yes, OpaQue is probably inserting few new codes so that the forum's HTML cannot accidentally execute codes because the forum parsed quotes.When you use bbcodes with " in it, for example, size="3" or color="black" etc. you'll see your bbcode cracking in the forum. Please remove these quotes and your bbcode should resume normally.

The forum assigns default avatar when you register. This is the way IP.Board was written. Avatar can be changed but when you delete (and you designate no other avatar) it will go back to being a default avatar.

The toolbar, it seems, was one of the causes of javascripts not running fully for the forum v3.We have disabled the toolbar for now until OpaQue can get his credit script to be synchronized for your myCENT.Please be advised. He expects to be done in few days.

I think the user toolbar has disabled HIDE, SPOILER and pulldown menu of your profile. I read about the pulldown menu next to your picture at the top. I didn't pay attention (because we're still upgrading) until I went to click HIDE and SPOILER code. It's not working on my end. I'm using FF. Anyone else notice this?

Oooo these are some good designs!!! Any more? Anyone else?

kira423,You'll need to work on a new bbcode tag to get your google chat badge to work. Because the default security for IPB3 is to disable any HTML codes in your sig. By creating a new bbcode you can bypass that security. However, I am still working on the google chat badge in case any injection can occur. Remember, by creating this bbcode it opens up for hackers to inject malicious codes.

The best way to start your company, separating your money from the company's money (sole purpose of federal and state taxation) is start with D.B.A. (doing business as).It allows you to create a separate entity apart for you and removed any personal liability from getting sued or etc aside from having your company name, paid to your company name, write checks in your company's name etc.DBA is cheap to create and it is the most commonly created business entity. As low as $35 you can simply go to your town or city hall and register your business name (as long as it's not taken). Simply bring a proof of ID, proper tax ID or EIN and the correct form of payment (my city hall only accepts cash).EIN (employee identification number) is free from IRS. You can tie your personal social security number to your DBA but some people are not comfortable with writing and showing their social security number to some public officials. So you can create EIN using your social security number. EIN will be issued to you and only IRS knows the tie between two numbers. Submit your EIN when registering DBA can be reassuring your social security number does not fall into the wrong hands. EIN takes few hours/days to create (registering with IRS on line and possibly waiting to hear back from them, although I seem to remember getting mine almost immediately). So get your EIN before registering DBA.Once you've created your DBA, bring the certified DBA paper(s) to your preferred bank and create a bank account for your company. Voila, congratulations you have now created a company that can accept payments in your company's name.

UPDATELooks like the forum ads are back. That means it's time for OpaQue to write that special code allowing registered members to not to see forum advertisements. This also means our forum will go through another pause, slowness of the forum load/function. Please be advised and thank you for your patience.
