  1. Someone used HIDE code that parsed in the shoutbox early this morning.HIDE code was updated so that it will not parse in the shoutbox, personal portal page and PM message.Thank you for finding this bug. Topic resolved.
  2. Please provide the full email header information. This will determine if the email is a legitimate email sent by Xisto server or a fake one.The reason it is assumed as a fake email is that your forum name is never associated (unless you set it so) with your hosting account: you should know that your Xisto cPanel name was not used right? Server administrative only sees your cPanel and domain information--they never associate with the forum information when sending an important notice like that. If the username used matches with your Xisto cPanel account name, you should make your post at Xisto; not in Xisto.If this turns out to be a fake email notice, someone is trying to phish your account information by following the link provided, perhaps.
  3. Please specify "domain name."If you changed to a top level domain (not a sub domain) you should know that you have to wait about 24-72 hours before your domain name can be propagated. Which means, your-domain.com/cpanel will not work until your-domain becomes propagated (properly resolved). In the mean time you can access your cPanel by using IP-address/cpanel or gamma{dot}xisto{dot}com/cPanel
  4. First, let's understand the difference between Private IP (intranet) and Public IP (internet). Private IP may change all the time and to whatever you want. Public IP is the set range IP address for your university. These will never change. It's like a mailing address--the physical address (this is internet) will not change but you can have different apartment numbers (this is intranet). When I asked for the actual IP address, I mean the public internet IP address. So no need for requesting hundreds, thousands of IP addresses to be unban--if this is the case. For example, accordinging to our records (besides using other ISP) you've only used three unique IP addresses from your university (netrange *.*.16.0 - *.*.31.255)If in fact your IP or IP range have been banned, it's probably at the Xisto - Web Hosting's end or your school's firewall end. So let's walk though few different scenarios: You could have multiple failed login attempts. There were attempt to run a script that might have deemed as "abuse." A script uploaded caused server to lag. Anything out of the ordinary that can be seen as critical to hosting server.You left your FTP connection open for a long time (upload/download/idle). This connection sends requests back and forth from your computer (university) to Xisto - Web Hosting server. Although Xisto - Web Hosting understand it as FTP connection, your school's firewall might misunderstand it as "massive ping attack" or something rather, that can cause "refuse/block connection" from and to Xisto - Web Hosting's IP. This is what I explained as internal firewall problem.Lastly, ISP backend issue (not related to your university or Xisto - Web Hosting). This is rare but unusually common these days. When you connect to a domain, you are almost never connected directly. You are connected to, sometimes referred to as, cache server. This cache server holds 'cache' of other pages/infos so that it speeds up the request time. Sometimes these cache servers would be resetted or dumped and it will require some time to resynchronize before you can "visit" again. Your friend who does not have any firewall, he is connection from off campus or within the university's internet connection? If he's in within the campus, no matter what he has installed in his compuer he is still behind the firewall of your university.One other solution that has not be mentioned is editing HOSTS file. This is basically a blind connection without the proper resolve--so to speak. I wrote a little instruction about it. You can find it by searching for HOSTS from Xisto Readme list.See what could be the common action taken from your end when your problem started to happen. And perhaps the actual answer might come up instead of these speculations
  5. I'm thinking I have already addressed this issue... but then again, I could be referring to somewhere else.Anyway, this error is abnormal but will not hinder any function except for few minor font size. OpaQue is aware of this but cannot get to it as of yet. All subscription will function as usual and OpaQue will get to this as soon as he can.Thank you.
  6. When a computer on a network cannot even ping a site, it's normally due to ISP's cache node resolve or due to internal firewall. Although you are convinced of this may not be the issue, using school's network which you do not have full administrative privilege can't say it isn't either.A university's ISP clears cache node to keep internet traffics free from old information. This is a some what standard practice these days--my university has a set protocol which updates and reconnects to ISP and other cache nodes every x amount of days.Besides this intranet speculation, the next likely problem could be that your IP has been listed under Xisto - Web Hosting's IP ban list. Xisto - Web Hosting has its own firewall where multiple "failed" attempts from a particular IP address flags ban script. This is to prevent your account and Xisto - Web Hosting's server from any malicious acts. To see if this is your case, please email your actual IP address to support{at}Xisto - Web Hosting{dot}com and request your IP to be released from the ban list.
  7. Thanks, serverph! Looks like you addressed and covered all basis. I too was able to visit your forum and made two shouts as "guest." If you recently changed your nameserver to Xisto - Web Hosting, it takes 24-72 hours before it is propagated. I think that was your issue. Next time could you explain all your situation, like the date of your nameserver change? Thank you. I'll leave this topic open little bit longer.
  8. Please start the momentum by posting them either under: Life Talk or Life Talk > Real Life Experiences plus, gardening book introduction should be posted under Books section and cooking school experience should go under School and Career or Real Life Experiences for now. Once we see the participation, we will create a new sub-forum. Thank you.
  9. There are other forums which supports hijackthis log files. Xisto does not provide this support. Please visit http://www.theeldergeek.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=13415 and follow their instruction on how to request for hijackthis log support. In our forum, you MUST place proper bbcodes for all copied entries, such as QUOTE. This topic is closed.
  10. Bit too late but never early enough for the next one coming up :PI hope you had a blast especially with your vacation and all...
  11. IP.Board (aka IPB) v2.2 and above includes AJAX reply scripts and attachment features. It is not any mod that was included with the board.Xisto has upgraded to the lates version of IP.Board and please refer to the latest version in Alerts and Notices.Thank you.
  12. How about making a diagnal traveling "shining" effect, just like a light passing over a gold bar? Ya know what I mean like a bling-bling??Or, you can mimic a slot machine spinning wheels and coming to a stop to " T17 GFX Crew "Or, lol, you can have fading in and out, like a bad TV reception, and then coming into a focus.
  13. INCLUDE, unlike REQUIRE, will continue whether the file being included is correct or not. It will try to digest and if it encounters error, INCLUDE will keep on going to the next set of commands/lines etc.Because of this voracious appetite of parsing, all functions and classes segregated from the main PHP files are usually named filename.inc.php.If you want to include functions that returns some value, you should have the including file as filename.inc.php.
  14. We have dedicated DEBATES forum. Please know our forum layout. I find that most Philosophical topics fall under Debates category. If you believe it is not a debatable topic, we have Theory or General Talk to classify all others. RPG is located under our Games forum. In this case, you must have full translation from one to another. When the server admin reviews your page regularly, he or she should see the exact translation from other languages to English. This is the only way to prevent your hosting account from suspension. Yes, most of us know of this already
  15. Forbid the thought! Each credits earned equals 1 day of free web hosting. So if you are going away for 30 days, you should at least have 30 hosting credits. When your hosting credit reaches ZERO your hosting will be suspended and your account automatically terminated with it reaches -30. Yes. Majority of your pages must be in English. If you want to provide your language of choice, at least leave a rough translation so that the server admins can understand your website. You may design a website with translation to exact, if that's what you are asking.
  16. This template is not the final choice since the expand/collapse menu is starting to bug some members. I do enjoy the darker theme but perhaps not this dark. Keep those suggestions coming. I'm sure we'll find something suitable someday. Or, someone can create customized skin using similar theme to this one *caugh* CrazyrobHey, I am testing out this new skin with Firefox and man it's loading really fast with DSL connection. Can anyone else confirm the loading speed using FF? Opera is opening this forum with new skin faster than Internet Explorer.Oh rats! We may have another incompatibility to deal with...
  17. Try this code (available through News Integration Wizard) <?PHP$number=1;include("/your_home_directory/cutenews_directory/show_news.php");?>The $number=1 means to show ONE entry per page. If you set it to 5, FIVE entries per page. This will automatically show pagination at the bottom of the entry. By default, the latest will show first unless you add $reverse=TRUE; News Integration Wizard should guide you through how you want to present your page. HINT: you can modify your template under NEWS PAGINATION to allow your desired phrase to navigate back and forth. <p align="center">[prev-link]<< Previous[/prev-link] {pages} [next-link]Next >>[/next-link]</p>Change << Previous and Next >> to however you want to phrase them.
  18. I thought the modified one from side by side comparison by TF's post You guys are picky.The new "testing and still deciding" insignia has been applied. Did I do this correctly this time? :PIf you want to use animated .gif please go right ahead. I'll just change the SPAM PATROL insignia to .gif Again, be sure to keep the file size small!!! So that it loads fast.
  19. Oh I think we're giving away OpaQue's secret here ;)Basically, your forum account and your hosting account managed under gamma WHM are related. No one can create an accont without admin of this forum adjusting a member's account. And the status of a hosting account depends on the status of a forum account (such as hosting credits, member's group).So one cannot exist without the other (loosely said).Admins do not create shell account for any member. Knowing that, you can create an account that is completely different from the information provided with the request application. And this is okay--if an account contains duplicate name from of another, you have the freedom to change it on the spot.
  20. Honestly, I had to look at what you guys were talking about... I didn't notice the slight difference between them Gees you guys are good!I have changed the insignia for now until GFX Crew decides to change later. You can always request that.PS I also forgot how I had your insignias stored: they are in .png format and stored in ANNEX. So I guess animation is possible after all So something to consider, if this opens up your option. Sorry that I couldn't remember how everything was set.
  21. Files cannot be restored if you use FTP.If files were deleted using cPanel, you can always restore them by going to the recycle bin (unless you performed empty of your recycle bin).When you "mess" with default file settings for your hosting account, admins cannot undo it for you. The only way is to terminate and request for another one.
  22. What you mean by "ordered" as in it's not aligned with each other at all? This cannot be possible using just CSS or anything else because the character width of each letters, i.e. A, O, V, W, I, M and P. The simplest way to resolve the alignment issue is to create LETTERS in graphics with all of them having the same width and height. The method you should try is to align "Beginning with" and let LETTERS drift offBeginning with ABeginning with OBeginning with VBeginning with WBeginning with IBeginning with MBeginning with PAnd these would be enclosed within a DIV or TABLE and centered to a page...The complicated way is to use CSS to set LETTERS as the same width with same space apart. But you may end up with 26 different cases to align them all in a line, not to mention they may not look all the same (some wider than others).
  23. Although this has been covered and it's off topic your answer AlternativeNick is yes.If you want all domains to use the same index page, use the Park-domain feature. If you want each domain name to have its own index page, use Add-On domain feature.
  24. I'd like to ask before I cast my vote: are you referring to football as in soccer (for United States folks) or football as in NFL (National Football League) where a sport in style of rugby with protective gears?It's just that this forum is open to all nations and I can anticipate some confusion to the word "football" with certain nationalities.
  25. Hey, I made the current one! lol. As I said, I wanted to place something default so that you guys know what I'm trying to do. And you guys can figure out which to replace with the one that I made from Brilliant Buttons site.There's no restriction to the size. I matched the one for admin/mod badge (80x15). You can decide to make it bigger but remember to keep it small in file size so that it loads fast. The only thing it cannot be at this time is animated insignia. I'm going to upload the image to the forum server (via forum gallery) so it will always come up.
