  1. I know little about actionscript and not knowing what's really going on from my understanding, try this trick to make sure your link opens appropriately.In your HEAD portion, insert <base target="_parent"> to ensure it opens at the current browser window. The values are the same as_blank_parent_self_topframenameBe sure to use the full URL for href
  2. I'm afraid you are caught in the middle of some ugly domain name war.The way it is going, and you do not take drastic action, you will lose that domain. Perhaps you will lose that domain to someone who is really interested in or the domain registrar will hold it for ransom by asking you to pay for big money to get it back.I am unsure if UK follow these rules but here in the united states there are steps to be taken by registrars when a situation like this happens--someone else owns the domain name and you would like it to make it yours.Contact the domain registrar. They will offer you two options--send a domain register change request to the first party and wait for the respond, or request back order/bid for the domain. A domain registrar has no idea what is really going on and to remove from any legal action (by transferring domain name from one person to another), they require written authorization from the first party to transfer to the second party. This means, if the first party does not respond you are out of luck. No matter what you do you will not get that domain to be your domain. Basically you have no control over your domain and thus you will end up losing that domain.The second is to place domain back order or bid for the domain. This process is very tricky and risky because you have to wait for your domain in question to be expired and pass the domain renewal/redemption period (usually 30 days). Before the domain expires, you create a user login account with the same registrar. And then you place back order of the same domain name. When the renewal/redemption period is over you will then own the domain name. But here is the risky part. If someone else place the back order like you, then the domain registrar will go ahead with domain auction--all parties who placed that domain as back order will now have the chance to own the domain name by bidding. The highest, of course, bidder will win the domain name.Contact the current domain registrar and explain your situation. Be professional. You're not the only one and you'll not be the last one who has this issue. Be courteous. And listen carefully to their solution. And be patient. Let them offer you suggestions and think about it.
  3. The answer is Yes. As long as you have enough Xisto Dollars you can purchase anything.I have 5 domains and 5 separate hosting plans using Xisto - Support.com/billingRemember that myCENT is just as the real money you would pay for all paid hosting/domain services.
  4. Ideally, you want to have plugin like this one http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ This plugin can select a post from your post(s) and display it. You can make it static by creating a new category and let it "reload" just from that category, hence making it static. But since your target area is at the top of the post, i.e. header, you may need to add your own script. Remember to edit your template and not your root Wordpress files. Under Themes > theme_folder > header file would be sufficient enough.
  5. PayPal has been really fussy about how they should "keep up with the current market." I wonder if this sudden change (probably restore back to normal) is dues to heavy burden in US economy status. Possibly unrelated but just recently, my business account started to charge maintenance fees which I have never seen in over 5 years. And these weren't small fees--for certain business checking accounts, a fee can be as high as $150 (which was mine).Sure, they agree to reverse the charges (over 6 months) but in the mean time they have $900 of my money they need to refund. The reason I am saying this is because with that $900 of "my money" they can earn some interest by holding it for few days (in electronic banking, holding money by mass amounts equals high percentage--that's why when you deposit sometimes it takes over a week to clear).Well, by blocking personal transfers PayPal can save "fees" or rather they can charge some "fees" by forcing accidental added on fees. Although fees will be refunded, the mass amounts collected by mass accounts could equal to some revenue.In the world of troubled economy I wonder PayPal has figured out how to stay a float by doing some money managements... I wonder...
  6. Since the year 2000 machines and on, your operating system's key is in a sticker form and is attached to your machine. Any machine that does not have MS license key sticker is not legitimately installed OS.Many people have tried to look for it in registry for stored license key. But the best way I found is to run a program that can find the exact license key. There are many out there and some are even free via trial version. But that's all you need.I have known in the past that my real license key did not work with all XP Pro legitimate Windows XP Pro installation disk. I would imagine that keys were generated with some logic calculation and is only compatible with SP2 or SP3 etc. Which means, if your license key was used pre SP2, it may not work with installation disk that has SP2 or higher. I believe this is because of WGA--Windows Genuine Advantage which was released around SP2. Therefore, a license key will not be compatible with WGA approved licenses. I hope that makes some sense.Anyway, besides how it should work first make sure you have this sticker that features Windows license key. If not, contact your manufacture immediately.
  7. Complete Open source called HipHop transforms PHP codes to run like a compiled C++ executable. Called the source code transformer, HipHop keeps the best aspects of PHP while taking advantage of the performance of C++ by optimizing and compiled using g++. And who would come up with this new runtime method? Facebook, of course! Using HipHop, the Facebook web server CPU usage has been decreased by about 50% percent. This means less time upgrading in hardware, expensive servers and overheads like Google and Yahoo who have thousands of servers to run their operation. If one server can handle as two because of HipHop, it's just amazing to know how much they can cut down in maintenance and energy consumption. And that's all good for us because it helps us by conserving and reusing. More read on how HipHop works, check this article Can we get it on our hosting, OpaQue?
  8. The cost of ink cartridges these days are just too much for poor economy. And even when you can pay for $15-$20 per cartridge you still wonder is it really that efficient? Introducing Prepeat, a greener printer for today's troubled climates This printer's special thermal head can render images (text, graphics) on a specialized plastic paper that requires no ink or toner cartridges. The reason for specialized plastic paper is because this printer can reuse the same paper 1000 times writing and rewriting (erase and then print). The ultimate green, environmentally friendly solution for today! But it will be heavy on your wallet for now. The printer is estimated to be around $5500 USD with plastic papers as much as $4 dollars a sheet. Like all new technology the price, hopefully, will come down. But if there's not enough demand for it who knows.
  9. I have checked your site just now and it looks like WordPress is up and running normally.Topic will be closed in few days if the topic starter does not add to this thread.
  10. "From" can always be masked to be anything these days. What you should to is see the full header information and see if it's really from Yahoo with the valid authentication key. In fact, your email should show whether it's from genuine Yahoo account or not. Once you determined it is from Yahoo, you should "hover" on any of attached links in the body of the message. On your status bar, that's at the bottom of your browser, it will show the target URL. 99.99% of the times it looks like the real Yahoo but at the end it would be like "us.ymail.taketo.me/... ... ..." So don't be fooled. Yahoo or any other email providers will NEVER ask your password using external email form. Yahoo will not ask you to verify account already in existence. If they want to shutdown your account they just do--they don't hesitate . If the account shutdown is legitimate account, they will ask you to call a number or send them an email so that they can sort it out. And I can't find it how but I read it on their TOS that they will never ask you for your information until you actually sign-in. So keeping these in mind, your email received is fake and not originated from Yahoo. You could have search the internet and found hundreds of topics like this one, including from Yahoo Answers at I received this email is from yahoo?Account verification but, making a topic in our forum may help others.

  12. Bluetooth uses the same 2.4Ghz as wireless devices that uses 2.4Ghz. So even you change the channels of your wireless [router] it has the probability that a bluetooth's cycle can knock it out.You'll have to try various combination:1) change your wireless router to G only. B is inferior 2.4Ghz signal and it does not have transmission scheme as 802.11a (which operates in 5Ghz). This may help to differentiate bluetooth signals and Wi-Fi signals.2) upgrade to N or A. Although A operates in 5Ghz, it has short range and does not do well with walls. N is better choice but you may have to upgrade all your Wi-Fi devices and receivers to N (pretty expensive)3) limit your usages of bluetooth devices. 6 devices, I'm guessing keyboard, mouse, headphone, ..?? and what? That's a lot. 4) try changing Wi-Fi channel from 6 (default) to 4 or 11. That usually helps a lot of people who are facing with conflicts.
  13. Racial discrimination and other race related violence have been popping up everywhere. To ask is it correct to beat or kill guests in Australia would be a poor choice in words. Obviously it's incorrect to beat or kill ANYONE!Why have many Indian students been beaten in Australia lately? Have they done something to invoke this highly charged emotions of Australians? Or, do Australians care less about outsiders because of their own particular reason(s)?Is it similar to how Americans view Mexicans (or any other race) because of the fear of Mexicans may take all the jobs away from Americans? Or, is it similar how Jews were isolated and targeted by Hitler and his followers?Hatred and race purity always sparked these kinds of violence. And the misconception fuels frustration that explodes in crime against another race. I fear that the world will never unite as one. Because we will always try to be unique and self serving for our own vanity. And the notion that somehow "I" is better than "YOU" will never keep "US" together. And there's not 1 country/race that escapes this--someone will always promote superiority over other's inferiority.
  14. Very good work, Tramposch. Nicely done! Thank you for your hard work.
  15. What good is being genius when the other aspects of life is average?For example, a person can really excel in the game of chess, but he/she cannot tie the shoes or relate to other people in normal manner, what good is being excelled in chess only?If genius is defined by extreme excellence in one aspect, I would call that a handicap. And if genius can be trained, i.e. the example of training the mind with playing chess, isn't that only training the analytical aspect of the brain? Which then leaves the other brain functions in the dark, like creative and artistic side.Computation only should not define what is genius. Genius also defines establishment and workmanship manufactured or created by a genius or by genius design (either by random or purpose).I once defined genius as the profound ability to express unique ideas with unique words. And the expression is not only with mere words but it can be works of art or compositions of things. And I further extend the idea that to recognize and appreciate the works of genius is also part of being genius. After all, what good is producing genius when no one can appreciate its ingeniousness?

  18. Dell's prototype of new tablet called Mini 5 surfaced internet. Just no more than few inches bigger than iPhone or iPod Touch, Mini 5 tablet runs on Android. Mini 5 tablet's specs are: 5 inch touch screen 1GHz Snapdragon processor 5 megapixel camera with dual LED flash and a front facing camera Wi-Fi 3G Bluetooth There's no price point yet. And there's no further information on the release date either. However, iPad isn't the hottest thing on the net anymore. I hope that Dell can price these way lower than iPad (which I felt way ridiculous from $499 to $699) For a basic price for iPad: 16GB - $499 (WiFi), $629 (WiFi + 3G) 32GB - $599 (WiFi), $729 (WiFi + 3G) 64GB - $699 (WiFi), $829 (WiFi + 3G) So, to have 3G built-in it cost $130 extra. Dell, you have to choose; to be evil and sell it at a high price point or to be good and make it $200 price range.
  19. A new iTune app for iPhone or iPod Touch has turning your device as a wireless touch mouse for your computer. It's one of those "why didn't they think of that, it's so natural!" But it has taken this long since the launching of Apple's most successful devices, iPhone and iPod Touch, to be used as something so fundamental and clever as touch mouse if it wasn't for Logitech. Not only this app can use your favorite iPhone or iPod Touch as wireless touch mouse, it can utilize iPhone or iPod Touch's keyboard as wireless keyboard as well. Wow, I know! Now, why would you need wireless keyboard? Well some of users, I'm sure, can think of few things instantly! I myself will use this new app's wireless keyboard to control my HTPC (Home Theatre PC) instead of my wireless keyboard and mouse combo. Not only the size of iPod Touch (mine) is smaller and easier I can have that with me better than a keyboard in my pocket The application can do basically the same things as your regular mouse: point, scroll, click, and of course type. It is reported that it also works over 3G as well as Wi-Fi. The application also displays the text you find it on iPhone or iPod Touch on the remote screen, like your HTPC or your regular computer. It is cross platform--both Mac and PC compatible.
  20. Oh man! It looks awesome!Too bad "text shadow" is incompatible with IE. Darn IE!!!I see that Latest Sig is over flowing. Since the size of sigs are never the same, could we feature it like a banner and give it the lower part of orange GFXTrap.com title banner? Like an ad banner except it's for latest sig?I know the template was worked hard. So instead of changing the current template how about another version?Looking at it, just have 3 column style. Keep the Latest News on the left column. Do add to the right column, Show off your work, request, find tutorial (maybe in smaller size but in one group), followed by Latest Show-offs, Other Stuff. This will free the center column of showing more contents.By the way, great job on the design! I am so so proud of you all!

  22. I will admin, I still love Windows XP (any version). It's been working stable for me and it's nice to find administrative stuff. Windows Vista and Windows 7 are all based on similar core technology, but somehow Windows XP still makes it easier to do things.Either that, I've dealt with Windows XP so much I am embedded with how it operates.
  23. I may be busy but not too busy not to at least listen to a request.Whenever you are ready, please PM with your desired new forum name. I will be happy to change it for you.And I will try to be more active so that members' requests are answer in timely manner.Thank you.
  24. I think you are trying to have the cake and eat it too...You say you're getting "pleasure from time to time" and isn't this using her, just like she's using you? She may be one of those people who "needs" a boyfriend or someone in her life--doesn't matter what the other person is as long as she gains something she craves. But to say about your respect and dignity, is the same way she is using you to fill her void. You are filling your inability to let her go and so you're wiling to take the safe approach--stay with her but there's no danger of being dumped again. She can't hurt you twice, in a way.Let me start by saying, you'll find your love again. This could be with the same person you fell in love or another person that will fulfill you the way you never imagined (speaking from a personal journey ).Identify what really broke you two apart in the first place. Was it that you were not compatible? Was it that she needed something more than what you can give? Was it that both of you grew apart? A serious look back and see what really went wrong is the key to finding your respect an dignity.Secondly, is she the one who will be your partner forever? Have you or the two of you thought about dedicating to each other 'till death do us apart? If not, I don't think you should reconsider becoming involved with her--again, my point is that you two are using each other to get over the hurt. She is with you until she finds the next guy and you are at least with her as friends with benefit. You are not letting yourself to be with another person who could be the "one."The question of should you take her back... I think there's nothing wrong with giving another person a second chance. God knows I've been given so many chances that I know I don't deserve. She might hurt you again. And she might not return like this time. But if you truly loved her you will give another shot at making it this time. And part of truly loving her is sometimes accepting the risky side of love--being hurt again and again.If you place being with her for the pleasure of the flesh you are bound to be hurt again. I say, take this second chance to really find each other. Find about her and why you adore her so much. Take this second chance to really discover her and see if you and her are truly meant to be. You will never get a chance like this again.Should you find there's nothing more to go on, give her the dignity that you two much deserve and call it the end. There's nothing more disrespectful and obscene in dragging a dead-end relationship just because two people cannot move on.
  25. Be sure to use the same email used in registering with Xisto on Xisto. You can earn myCENT from both to one account, whether you need it or not.Xisto is geared towards general topics, games, and all around entertainment topics. But that is not to say we don't have technical topics. Some of our topics discussed and ideas presented in our forum can kick some other technical forums big behind right out of the internet :)We have many coders, programmers, graphics gurus to shame some of forums out there. Let Xisto show you what we can do!
