It's going to be slow until OpaQue is satisfied with the core upgrade. And then he will turn on each available feature to bring the forum back to our "usual" state. In the mean time, we probably won't see any excessive plug-ins because it will draw additional server resources.You can install a trial version for 30 days from Invision Power. If you do require additional time to evaluate or develop your modules, contact them for additional assistance. They are very good at extending to help you out.PS, notice the inline PM feature... no need to load or launch separate PM window--it's all in one screen.

Here is the ticket number:DJR-527118: Problems

Yes, usually when forum goes through an upgrade, the makers of the forum script change how HTML codes is handled. Go to your profile page and see if you can remove the HTML code and simply enter a blank line.I have started a topic in the Announcement page for further information on reporting and information.Please continue your discussion there regarding errors and features.Use this thread to discuss about the theme and likes/dislikes of the forum skin.

Dear forum members, Not to steal thunder from OpaQue, but we have a new version of the forum. This version 3 has many features members were asking about: rep points or boost points system. Each and every post will have + or - promote feature. Just look for it at the lower right corner of each post. https://invisionpower.com/features/apps Many new features that we thought it would be relevant have now been included with this version--better PM system, better tracking and reporting features. Moderators would be glad to know that our centralized reporting function is back and standard with the forum version 3. Check out the inline moderation for moderators. Very nice and makes your moderation job simple and easy--no more hopping around for multiple tasks. Be sure to check out many new emotion icons Members will enjoy the new personal conversion--directly to only the member in conversation making it better than the previous PM system. As always with forum upgrades, we will face many odds and ends with kinks and errors. Please direct all your finds here in this thread so that we can have better idea where it needs to be fixed, perhaps in priority. Any questions please direct them to moderators or admins. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience during our upgrades. To Do, and features turned on fix HIDE code fixed to act like spoiler bbcode fix myCENT alignment fixed and still deciding on how to align insignia change forum logo limit "location" and "interest" text box to 250 characters Reputation System Configured - 5 Points allowed per day Forum is slow until completion of upgrade Activate board advertising Change message notification color from green to red (if OpaQue willing) Reputation UP FaceBook Connect - Online Google Chatback may become official forum bbcode (see my sig below) Note the Fast Reply is open for the topic as default, and also note the auto merge when you add reply followed by your post--no more double post warning!

It's not just a new theme--it's a new version of the forum.Database has to be off line for the entire upgrade. We don't want to lose any posted articles to be lost or disconnected during upgrade. So we simply take the database off line and then make sure it's running fully, and then turn it back on.This is one of the default themes for the IPB version 3.Please expect the usual kinks and errors here and there. As always, please report all errors to moderators. They will then forward to admins for better usage.Check out what's new with IPB version 3 and especially your PM features. https://invisionpower.com/features/apps For moderators, you'll be happy to know that the report center is back. And judging by my post, my HIDE code is no longer working...again!

I share the same feeling of getting sick of South Park. But I have to say that this episode was quite funny. I hate using facebook but my sister and my friends are using them to contact me. So to stay in touch with them I too become "sucked" into facebook. I'm watching for some beam to zap me.Using Tron to make fun of how facebook takes over your life was very innovative! I have to give them some high credit for doing so. I'm sure they were itching to do something with Tron ha ha ha!

The next version of Internet Explorer adds bunch of new features that you'll enjoy if you love Microsoft's programs ( ) Internet Explorer's next version, version 9, will add HTML5 support which features new markups such as <audio> <video> <nav> <footer> Other than new markups, there are advanced options such as advanced DOM and other API related scripts. And because the new browser will take audio and video into consideration, the hardware acceleration and support are the first to be utilized as a browser. This means better 2D and 3D support, more complicated video and graphics support from a browser. The age of growing 3D screen on the market, it's natural that the browser will be one of the instruments to render all that technology can equip. And as always, JavaScript will be revamped to suit this new browser to give more responsive development of sites. However, Microsoft announced that Windows XP will not support this new browser leaving all XPs no higher than Internet Explorer 8...

myCENT is backend script that gets updated by the running of scripts at given time. This "time" is set by OpaQue as every 1 hour, 4, 8, 12 etc as the server load's number.If your myCENT has not been updated for over 12-24 hours, please submit a support ticket using Xisto - Support.com/billing.Maybe OpaQue turned it off while he was maintaining the forum server. I will update here if I find the answer or the answer is made available to me.

The song just isn't the same when you read the lyrics ha ha ha. You'll have to know the song and sing it otherwise either is either, and not either :angel:

And if you cannot write you own script to delete folder/file that you do not have the Owner privilege (because what truefusion mentioned) please contact the support and submit a ticket to delete them for you.Another way to quickly resolve this issue is to install a fresh one from your cPanel. They are outdated version, I know. Then upload updates and install them. In the past, installing another from cPanel resolved the issue of running the WordPress and upgrading with newer files have solve the issue you described.Let us know how it goes.

While it's bit hard to setup this little program, I like to use XSPF web music player. http://musicplayer.sourceforge.net/ It loads your songs using xml play list, which with little bit of coding you can automatically generate this xml play list. I made a code and use it as an example if you want to use this player. The idea is to read all mp3 in a directory and write them in xml format. // set this to a creator name$creator = "AUTHOR";// search for mp3 files. set this to '.flv' or '.jpg' for the other scripts$filter = ".mp3";// path to the directory you want to scan// "./" = current directory$directory = "./";// URL to files$url = "http://www mp3 location";// read through the directory and filter files to an array@$d = dir($directory);if ($d){ while($entry = $d->read()) { $ps = strpos(strtolower($entry), $filter); if (!($ps === false)) { $items[$entry]['mtime'] = filemtime($entry); } } $d->close(); arsort($items);}// the playlist is built in an xspf format// first, we'll add an xml header and the opening tags...header("content-type:text/xml;charset=utf-8");echo "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>\n";echo "<playlist version='1' xmlns='http://xspf.org/ns/0/'>\n";echo " <title>PLAYER TITLE</title>\n";echo " <info>" . $url . "</info>\n";echo " <trackList>\n";// ...then we loop through the array...foreach($items as $key => $value){ $title = substr($key, 0, strlen($key) - 4); $when = date("n/j", filemtime($key)); echo " <track>\n"; echo " <creator>" . $creator . "</creator>\n"; echo " <title>" . $when ." ". $title . "</title>\n"; echo " <location>" . $url . '/' . $key . "</location>\n"; echo " <image>http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ location</image>\n"; echo " <info>SAMPLE INFO GOES HERE</info>\n"; echo " </track>\n";}// ...and last we add the closing tagsecho " </trackList>\n";echo "</playlist>\n"; And name this file as, i.e., playlist.php. Use XSPF to point the playlist to this file. And you are done. The playlist will regenerate for each visitor, therefore your update will be shown to the next successful visitor after your upload. No need to take the player off line.

We discussed this before in other threads.PHP is popular because the language markup resembles popular C and C++. PHP is also free and thus many web companies offer PHP as, sometimes, their main supporting programming language.The benefit of ASP and PHP is that they are both server side script. You control the functionality of your page programming and not client side dependent programming like JAVA script (which can be turned off). It is expressed as controlling the scene when server side script is running. Not to mention the dynamic page system you can develop with server side.

The better suggestion would be for those who do not want to collect Kontera's ad money, those who cannot earn enough to collect and goes to waste, or those who would want to donate/contribute to Xisto forum can use Xisto's Kontera's account number in their Kontera account box.This way, when they post every little bit of it goes towards Xisto. And when enough people collect and contribute Xisto can benefit/profit from trickling collection.For those who would like to take advantage of this new suggestion, simply contact OpaQue directly and request for his account number. Unless this is also against TOS of Kontera OpaQue would like the idea. I don't think it's against their TOS because when a member does not have Kontera it defaults to Xisto's account--unless this too was changed recently.

anwiii,It wasn't the question of patience or not saying anything to raise the voice. Perhaps you misunderstood while your emotion was high.When you accuse adminS and moderators of not caring about the forum you are making a big accusation and boarder line slander. When even THIS admin had no idea what's going on it is not nice to be included in the whole "blame" ring. And obviously moderators would have even lesser information because a tech or an admin did not inform them--although it does not mean that they wait for the admin(s) to inform, they can certainly PM OR email OpaQue directly. He has never been shy about sharing his personal email or general email address with anyone. If PM system is broken, use the support ticket. If support ticket is not being answered use email. When all three fails perhaps you should give a benefit of doubt that something might be going on that delays a reasonable reply. It does not give an opportunity to be labeled as uncaring lackluster service provider.You talk of supporting the forum, helping the new members and giving Xisto the respect it deserves. You certainly can do that without expressing in terms you have used. Going down the tube, not as smooth as previous years and criticizing key members of the forum are not exactly what new members need to read, I think you'll agree.There are ways to voice your opinions without lashing the back hand of rage and irritant. I do not ask of you the way I ask our moderators. And you certainly are not required to be in terms with my role in Xisto forum. I have been and always will be without the luxury of expressing my own views because my words are reflections of this forum.Whatever the personal differences you have expressed both on or off the forum thread, what I enforce is your tone in the forum. You can submit any opinion as you'd like but I expect more from veteran members such as yourself. And thus I express even stronger opinion when you follow suit with members who are just experiencing Xisto forum. When moderators and admins are not here, the long and trusted members of Xisto are just as important as when moderators are present. Therefore, when a long member joins in the bandwagon rather than calming, taming a potentially start of irreconcilable topic I would like to see veteran members saying things like, hey have you tried this if not I will try and let you all know; I have submitted the ticket and wait until what they have to say; has anyone tried to contact so and so; although PM is not working I see that Xisto has (social network page) maybe I can get their attention this way...If this is too much to ask of any veteran members, it is given as though what I hope members realize that there are many ways to get a hold of Xisto - Support. It is by no means that you HAVE to do it this way. You will know which moderators have even faster reply. They will find out even in greater detail about the situation (while before, during or after) than myself. And they will make it available as soon as it becomes known to them.So please, do not accuse any one of us being uncaring. We do what we can under the conditions and information that are provided to us.

If you are suggesting some mods/admin are out of line you can PM the other admin for motion to submit a complaint. If PM system is down (in this case) use the email or support system. We are all subject to OpaQue's final decision and he will act accordingly as he sees it fit. And this is the first opportunity I had to acknowledge the PM issue as I returned to Trap first time from my 3 weeks away. Thank you for the welcome back message. If you feel so strongly about getting the answer to your question, you can contact OpaQue directly since neither he or techs posted any server issue updates. The only latest message on the board is to join in Facebook for Xisto networks. Perhaps you can reach him faster in that manner since he is neglecting this forum. If I had the answer to your statement, would I spend this time to answer a question with another question? Did you prefer to have an announcement that forum is experiencing module issues and Gamma server is disabled and set to read only mode? And preferably signed by Xisto Tech or from OpaQue? The no excuse portion was regarding that I am also in the dark as I am also the client. I do not have the answer to what is going on with the server(s) and what remedies are being performed at this moment. Why didn't we notify the rest of members of what's going on? The answer is simple--who knows. I am in the same boat as my sites are also experiencing glitches here and there. We've all experienced forum anomalies when forum went through several upgrades. And there are major upgrades coming and more to come. We don't know what's going on with the forum and why it is acting the way it is. No word from OpaQue and nothing on the announcement board. But we've endured similar issues in the past. So what changed for this time? No one acknowledged it on the forum? It was a bad timing. I was away and OpaQue was not on top of things. He should have made a post saying you'll experience some bugs as he was doing something, or hosting accounts were doing something. Patience is when you give patience to the intolerable situation to the breaking point, and then giving some more. Supporting the forum is checking in every day to see what you can contribute to the forum, or spending extra minutes to the forum after 15 hour day because you are responsible to the commitment. Commitment not only to the people who are depended on your presence, but commitment to yourself. And we would do this without prejudice. The forum is misbehaving. And it's inconveniencing everyone. Moderators cannot check the spam reports and they are manually searching each post to see what was reported. Members are not able to suggest vital helpful information because the PM system is down. But we can pull through this mess. It will soon pass and the forum will work like it was. It's uncomfortable being in the dark. Until OpaQue can shed some light to the situation we can only guess. But, what we can do is not panic and not pass any short conclusion.

Finally! Some common sense performed on endless spammers using RU domain names. I have banned over 8000 commentators coming from either RU area or using RU email addresses. I think the registrars should hold domain registers accountable for misuse and abuse.

For those who think admins don't care, especially anwiii, for the record I was traveling for the past 3 weeks or so. I was not able to be active in duty when it comes to hosting supports because I no longer control hosting servers. Let's get that straight.And whatever the server is doing or not doing, all questions should be posted here, submitted as support ticket or read the news/knowledge base in Xisto - Support.Admin, at least for me, couldn't reply not because I didn't care but because I didn't have internet access except while I was waiting at the airport. Even then I only had few minutes here and there to catchup with my work. So you will forgive me when I say, "I didn't know" right?Furthermore, I don't have hostings with certain servers such as Gamma that flags me to know what's wrong and what's going on. All my hosting accounts are with Theta and Epsilon. Perhaps I should get a hosting with Gamma just to make sure hostings are in working order.Listen, I know you might think this as an excuse or something that I am not taking a responsive approach but I am speaking from the client side as well. It's frustrating but constant complaining does not help the situation. And all of us, except for OpaQue, are volunteers--no extra payment of myCENT for being mods or admins. Some of us are here daily every hours of the day, and some of us are here infrequently. We all try to do our best and while we are logged in. The forum is tied to your myCENT that pays for your hosting account(s). And if the forum does not function where myCENT is not earned you might have a problem paying for hosting account. What does not pay for is the regular maintenance of servers themselves, techs who were hired to perform duties and other unexpected fees that might incur. And there are times myCENT hosting accounts are the last to be worked on or last to be upgraded. Although techs might be slow to act on, don't accuse them of not caring because your support ticket is not answered in 3 minutes, 3 hours or 3 days. I don't know the reason behind the delay but there's better way to know the situation other than "they don't care about us or the forum!" Not very nice thing to accuse of us, them.Why isn't OpaQue on top of these things? Only OpaQue can answer that.

Is there a particular reason why you have to show local file with your webpage? Is this for a development purpose? Besides the obvious security issue, there are many reasons why web browser cannot display local file without some extra programs installed. The easiest way to include local file to your website is run a webserver (xampp, wamp, apache, IIS) on your local machine and then include as LOCALHOST/folder/file.ext Because, the inclusion of local file on the internet is useless in the way that the file name, location must be the same throughout every visitor. Otherwise, the inclusion is just for your sake. And that means, it's easier to run a private webserver at the end and then use the inclusion.

If your account is not VPS or Dedicated server plans your ticket is not answered immediately. Please give some time before submitting your support ticket again.

Other than illegal way? No.

Your clicking noise is coming most likely from the arm actuator. It's like a record player where the needle actuator is trying to land on the track to get the sound, but the actuator is not landing correctly or not going to the starting position. This is a common occurrence to a faulty hard drive--whether it was caused by external force or internal defectiveness. Take a look at this site which has recording of clicking noises of various hard drives. And next time, it's best to list your hardware specification, such as hard drive manufacturer, serial number, model number etc at the beginning of your post :angel: http://www.datacent.com/hard_drive_sounds.php

Usually, clicking of a hard drive indicates damaged actuator arm that reads the hard drive surface. A hard drive usually does not get damaged only because you didn't safely removed an attached hardware. Perhaps your hard drive was on it's way out. There could have been some fore warnings. Like massive corrupted files or slow data retrieve compare to the first time you used etc.I've tried to salvage a clicking hard drive but nothing was successful (even the freezing hard drive method). I finally had the nerve to take the hard drive apart and perform an emergency transplant. I purchased an identical hard drive, took both apart, carefully placed working actuator arm to the broken one, reassemble and ran the hard drive for one last time, just enough to get my data out.Some say, just replacing the PC board of the hard drive actually fix the issue. So search on the web for the hard drive model and see if damaged PCB is the issue. In that case you're in luck--very easy to replace and you could have even longer working hard drive.

I think you should find out the pattern in the sequence. Does "efg" appear every second "_"? Does "efg" appear in 3, where other groups are 2 or less, i.e. aa_bb_efg_h or aaaa_b_efg_h? Does "efg" appear as 3rd, whatever the string legth be, i.e. aa_bb_efg_hh_ii_jj or aaa_bbb_efg_hhh_iii_jjj_kkk? You can even go before the string is formed, i.e. if "efg" is part of input from multiple places, isolate when "efg" is entered and assign a different variable For example, aa_bb_$replace_h And do str_replace ( '_$replace_' , '-$replace-' , 'ab_cd_$replace_h')

I can't believe I was just about to order one from newegg!!! Oh man I'm so glad Xisto members are on top of these kinds of scams! I have an idea where the "swap" might have happened--at the shipping yards. While containers are waiting to be check for shipping procedures, possibly counterfeits were swapped out without anyone's knowing. Or, perhaps the delivery truck driver made a quick cash by turning away while counterfeits were placed instead of the original ones. Good post and I'm glad I check it out before making my next purchase.
