  1. The major part of finance comes from Xisto - Web Hosting. Advertisements on Xisto and other sites bring in just enough to cover other small fees, such as over usage of bandwidth, license fees and some support but not enough to fund the entire free hosting services. The key is having lots of paid hosting services. Many members have gone from Xisto free web hosting to paid Xisto - Web Hosting service. In a way, Xisto was a just a stopping place to get a little taste of what Xisto - Web Hosting can provide. Second would be having other reliable service other than web hosting. Xysis is the advertising media service for all Xisto Corporation. This is very similar to Adsense but it's OpaQue's own company. Driving sales and advertisement within Xisto Corp is better than giving Adsense the entire business. But, it doesn't hurt to profit from using Adsense So think of another medium where you can offer to your customers and still profit from it. That would be your second source of income.
  2. You can simply go to the Process page and activate your hosting account. https://support.xisto.com/ Follow the online instruction and you will be all set.
  3. UPDATE I am sorry for all previous HIDE tag users. I will be making corrections as much as I can for those who have been using HIDE=option tag. The new HIDE tag will not require for you to enter the option field. Simple use HIDE text here /HIDE. [hide]Hidden text here[/hide]Sample below Hidden Hidden text here FAQ Q: After editing my post which contained HIDE, my hidden message does not show. A: The new HIDE code requires random number to be generated when a page is refreshed. Simply refresh your page after editing and you will see your hidden quote.
  4. If you have your trustworthy photo enhancing, retouching software you probably do not need to visit ths site. http://www.vicman.net/ But those who wished to have some of the abilities of Adobe Photoshop but never had the nerve to pay $$$ for it VicMan is offering some of the finest photo enhancing programs for free. It may be in limited time so go get yours today. This offer may not last long for their new business focus does not necessarily guarantee the company's stability in the future. I would use Red eye remover and Jpeg enhancer over Photoshop for quick task of retouching.
  5. Kaspersky Lab, joined with AOL, is providing free 100% licensed anti-virus program for you to use. https://discover.aol.com/security Some people prefer Symantec over others and some prefer Kaspersky. I am one of Symantec users. I have been and probably will be for the rest of my life. However, I would be remiss if I did not test this program as a computer owner. Symantec has been the choice of anti-virus for my work place. And naturally I rely on what I see at work--defending my computers throughout the worse cases of threats in the past. But the corporate version I have always has been resource hungry. And with the latest 10.1.5 it seems like my home computers cannot give more unless I upgrade RAM to even higher MB. So before I install Active Virus Shield I took a notice of my page file usage and processing numbers: PF Usage: 429MB Processes: 50 Symantec program: 90.2MB After Kaspersky: PF Usage: 302MB Processes: 47 Kaspersky program: 11.43MB The installation was something of an oddity. Perhaps it's because I have never used anything else but Symantec. Before the installation of Kaspersky, first I had to uninstall Symantec (as the popup guide directed). After the initial installation the complete current virus definition update required computer restart. Of course this followed by complete scan of my computer. I also noticed that my computer boot time is the same, noticed a Active Virus Shield logo on my Windows Login screen at the upper right corner but the loading of AVS itself was lot quicker than Symantec. All that is left is to see how reliable this version of Kaspersky engine from protecting my home computer. I only installed to one of my machines just to be on the safer side. This free license expires in 364 days from the installation. An activation code will be emailed to you instantly to the email address you provide prior to the download.

  8. This topic's update is available here: http://forums.xisto.com/topic/44151-saddam-hussein-is-executed-quick-fresh/ Please continue the discussion there.
  9. Internal PCI card was used as a demonstration on my last reply. If you prefer you can go with the external USB TV tuner device. USB TV tuner has some advantages compare to internal PCI card--it is easier to install, it is swapable among other computers and it is just as effective as the internal tuner card. The only disadvantage at this time is the price. The USB TV tuner, on an average, runs higher than the PCI card.But then again, what's few extra bills when you can use it for both desktop and laptop? The difference may not be much. USB TV tuner does not require for you to open your CPU or anything that you're not ready to do at this time. So go with the USB TV tuner. It will be installed in a snap.
  10. Which forum script are you referring to?I see one for phpbb and smf. See if your forum is pointing to the right database, i.e. dagger_php1 or dagger_smf1. Because database and user "dagger" does not exist. Maybe it was renamed?
  11. Good luck with your new server. You can visit our forum at anytime. Your hosting account can be deactivated by YOU via the Process page. Otherwise your account will be deleted once your hosting credit reaches -30. Keep in touch!
  12. If you are seriously concerned with illegal copies of bulletin boards, you can report the domain(s) to the appropriate copyright owners.IPB used to offer online illegal copy report...and consequently I think you can send an email to vBulletin as well. They can, then, check with their database to see if a particular forum is valid or not.
  13. How about posting the full article or link to it? A snip from an article does not provide with a full information to conclude.However, by the content, they are tallying the total bandwidth *within* Taiwan's own backbone--intranet. Where the international traffic--visiting internet sites--total shows 97GB/s.But unless seeing the full article, this is only a part of a conclusion.
  14. There are many free file storage services out there and some of them are actually good, even for free ones. Some of you might remember the XDrive service launched by Apple in the mid 90's. It was designed initially to beat out and form a more "exclusive" community among Apple owners. File sharing, back in those days, were still a new idea and not many PC owners knew what to do with them. But the almighty Apple owners quickly developed the idea of community common files anything ranging from Mac OS updates/hacks to picture and movie sharing. Well, it's back! http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ ,now fully funded and backed by AOL, is providing free 5GB to anyone who signs up. You can either create a new AOL-AIM account or use your currently existing AIM account. The interface is either a simple HTML browser to upload/download files or JAVA console to make your experience more pleasant. But it is still "exclusive" to those only own AIM/AOL account. This means files can only shared by those who are invited via email. The recipient does not necessary has to have an AOL email address. The idea is not new but the name XDrive carries much deserved respect when it comes to good storage for all your file types. However, it is still many months before they can make it running smoothly. For the past 4 hours I have tried to upload few files, I faced numerous errors and was asked to refresh the page (Ctrl-R) to view all items in my xdrive. And the interface (in HTML form) must be refreshed when I move from one folder to another--very redundant. It's is the first thing XDrive team must re-develop if they want this service to make it into a main stream online file storage competition. For AOL email account users, all your email attachments can be automatically uploaded to your xdrive. This is very cool! So many people who do not want to delete attachments or attachments saved in the local drive can have the option of storing attachments off site. And the Xdrive offers another option--using Xdrive as a virtual drive. An optional desktop solution can have your Xdrive exist like a physical drive in My Computer and can be used to synchronize/backup selected files automatically or as a drag and drop storage solution.
  15. Try this for CSS tag #body { margin: 0 auto; width: 800px; padding: 0 0; background-color: rgb(14,180,51); text-align: left;} And if you are going to use CSS, try using CSS for all your styles, i.e. for your Table as well. Sample code: body,td,th { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; background-color: #000000; color: #FFFFFF;}
  16. Yes, Search The Forum! We have dedicated forum section just for this topic http://forums.xisto.com/topic/234-google-adsense-adwords/ Closed.
  17. Just to cover all basis, what were the versions of SMF and Drupal you were running? SMF error message is something I ran across before and it's either database was actually down, or your SMF was compromised--something happened in the past due to security fault with older SMF version.As far as Drupal goes, was it injunction with SMF or running separately?
  18. I recall all my error pages were going to your default site...remember those days? In fact, all Xisto 404 errors were sent to your site.Good luck to you in everything that you do. I think you'll find Xisto - Web Hosting to be even better than Xisto with extra services they provide.Keep in touch and don't be a stranger. And we'll keep the lights on for you.Best wishes,BH.
  19. HA! I was confused for a bit but I'm assuming this isn't CF but one of CF associate(s)?The error simply means that the database set for your board is no longer in existance--either deleted or changed to different name.If you have the access to your cPanel please see if the database is existing and modify it accordingly.Just in case, if you were running SMF which board version was it? SMF version before 1.1 were attacked by hackers before and can cause those database errors. If this is for phpBB see if you can find the possible answer in phpBB's forum--this is if your database still exists.
  20. Good solutions so far... I have another theory.. and don't flame me for this one.If you installed cracked software/program to be interfaced with Windows SP1 or SP2 products, Control C is disabled sometimes. This is either to prevent Windows from being compromised (a built-in feature) or the crack program somehow damaged Windows natural capability--keyboard short-cut to copy to the clip board.I'm not accusing anything...just placing MY previous experiences I cracked CS once and experienced the same thing.If you can type any word starts with the letter C, just the letter C (like you have, I assume) or any word that contains the letter C, I can safely say that your keyboard isn't the issue.
  21. The simplest way of achieving this technique is onMouse over function. http://www.computerhope.com/onmouse.htm You must have two images: one transparent and default on loading, and another one to achieve desired effect when mouse is placed on top. The page I gave as a reference is very easy to understand and customize. Hope that helps. Additional information: you can speed up the transition by preloading images on body load. This script and tutorial is found under Tutorial section. If you want to achieve this as CSS, it's just modifying a and a.hover and setting background-image: url(image); for both before and after. Hover is when the mouse is over any <a href="..." link. This can be used just for CLASS system where only activated when <a href="..." class="rollover"> where class rollover is set to show a different picture/text format. PS. much better with topic title this time.
  22. I thank you for validating my assumption. So where is the script code to be examined, like I asked?
  23. Java script should be installed between <HEAD> and </HEAD>. Try that first since Safari is very picky with the order of HTML coding. Also check your Safari's security level and see if your Java code is tripping any security level you set--or even safely executing under Safari's security level. Lastly, do you really need all those commands for just opening a form? Unless I misread your coding a simple window.open will do the same effect without using the Java script. And you can have <a href="java script:;" onClick="window.open(options)"> and you can open any file.php or file.html as part of options. And never, ever bump your own topic again. If you want your topic to be noticed your topic title should be named better next time (note how I changed it), instead of 'help, don't know what's wrong...'[sic]. These are the forum rules. EDIT: looks like this board is protecting by placing SPACE between the word java and script. is one word without a blank space.
  24. quatrux.net and dqzone.net are showing without any problem at the time of this post. However, quatrux.uni.cc is at 404 error. quatrux.uni.cc shows correct whois fields except for ns3. If you added ns3 please removed that information. Only use ns1 and ns2. Another thing is that uni.cc is not your typical top level domain (TLD) and thus it cannot be trusted with performance at 100% of the times. So here is what I would suggest to provide "a proof." Try searching for site monitoring script (free ones of course) and install it on every page. This will keep a written record of when each page/or your entire site was or was not available for viewing. Because as far as I can tell, your sites are working at the time of this post and I cannot test your site every hour of the day. I'm not sure if this is the service I used in the past but try something like this https://www.siteuptime.com/index.php
  25. Not only the structure of your webpage is important but mainly the content and the relative key words search performed by the search engine.Here is an example. Let's say I have a website that promotes Holiday vacation packages. When you search the keywords "holiday" and "vacation", due to other sites being so much popular than mine, my site will not appear any higher than others who paid or existed for many years.So one of the tactics is to use relative keywords many times through my page. And use the correct META tags, site map, etc. Do not leave any broken links. There was another trick I learned about having too many HREF links in your site...but I forget. Also something about the ratio of inbound URL (within your site) vs. outbout (leaving/linking to other site) ratio...hopefully someone else can help with this subject.But appearing higher on the search engine by you does not mean that it will appear on others. I once searched my website few dozen times and the next day my site showed as #1, beating all 500 previous entries. So I was curious to see if my cache had anything to do with it. Sure enough it did. I cleared my cache and waited 2 days to do another search and it went back down to #700 :PI just hope that Google doesn't have my IP in their cache so that no matter what I do, my IP somehow shows what I've been searching in higher rank than others. That would mean that the search engine is nothing more than a target marketing tool that Google turned into. You know what I mean?I still think META tags makes some difference, although I have read many articles that said not. And trying to mislead search engines with faulty META keywords will land your site at the bottom of the trash. Meaning, I could flood my website with the same META tags as, i.e., Amazon.com but if my content does not match my meta tags, the search engine will place my website as "fake" and will not be liked by web crawlers.
