  1. Please, only one discussion per topic. This prevents from hijacking a particular thread and focus on one solid discussion at a time. And if you took the time to search the forum, you would have found all your three discussion materials have been started way before. Search the forum please! The web browser topics IE, Mozilla, Netscape or Opera? Netscape better than IE and Firefox? IE vs. Mozilla Firefox Console topic Which console do you like better? Xbox 360 vx. Playstation 3 Image editing topic Picture editing Which is the best graphics program? etc, etc... Topic closed.
  2. When the copyright owner's site no longer provides free download, then we should not discuss the ways of getting it from another sources or even mentioning them. If it was still free today, I would imagine that Invision creator probably made it possible to download it. But since it was taken down from Invision site AND our current Xisto cPanel no longer offers the free installation, it's sufficient to say it is no longer free from license agreement and copyrights. In any case, contact webmaster of Invision and request further information. If it's still free I'm sure they would be the best source to get the files.
  3. Also check your file directory when requesting to open fopen(./changes/archive.file) you may need to adjust to the right directory path.
  4. MS Paint does some stupid conversion when saving as GIF. Good try however. If you need the original one I'll uploaded for you. That was my attempt (a fast one) to replace the default INVISION logo. This was my original intent but the background did not fit the default skin. And since we are looking for a new logo for Xisto and Xisto in general, I decided to leave it as is. Once you have the new one posted, I'll upload it to http://forums.xisto.com/topic/125-user-contributions/ Thank you.

    Ping Stuff

    Refrain from making redundant topic or post. What's the difference between this and http://forums.xisto.com/topic/31456-pinging-servers-checking-the-webhosts-speed/ tutorial? And where is tutorial content to this post? Please direct all your ping related post to above link. Please make one topic for one subject. Unless the command PING changes, it is suffice to say one topic regarding this command is enough for our forum. Moving to Software.
  6. inyourarms,If you mean to have a domain name associated with Xisto hosting, go to the Process page and use the change of domain name service (15 credits). Change to yourDomain.com or whatever and it will be associated with your hosting. Don't forget to update nameserver under your domain name controlOR, you can use addon domain command under cpanel.
  7. I am eager to see your posts and active participations to this forum. I know you'll be one of excellent members we currently have! Looking forward to you hosting with Xisto, and thanks for showing us your humble attitude and grace

  9. Try contacting the manufacture of the software. How about their website regards to resetting the password?
  10. In search of dynamically changing quote, saying or all other types of text on an image I came across a code that I have modified to fit my initial usage. This procedure requires two files and short knowledge of PHP. If you are familiar with Xisto's sig rotation code you will understand this procedure very fast. Code 1: dynamic_sig.php (you can rename this to index.php and you'll see at the end why) Code 2: a simple text file named anything (I will call it name.txt) Code 1 <?php header("Content-type: image/png"); $image = imagecreatefrompng("../images/sotw_background.png");//imagecolorallocate($image, R, G, B) in HEX values$font_black = imagecolorallocate($image, 2, 1, 8);$font_blue = imagecolorallocate($image, 25, 0, 255);$List = "name.txt";$string = trim(file_get_contents($List));;//($image, fontsize, rightindent, downindent, data, txtcolour)imagestring($image, 3, 12, 3, "T17", $font_blue);imagestring($image, 1, 86, 6, "SOTW", $font_black);imagestring($image, 1, 110, 6, $string, $font_black); imagepng($image); imagedestroy($image); ?> Code 2 WINNER - USERNAMEFor a working demo please refer to #23, #24 and #25 here http://forums.xisto.com/topic/27020-sig-of-the-week-winners-past-winners-of-trap17com-sotw/ Let's break it down. As you can see in Code 1 header("Content-type: image/png");that HEADER calls for PNG as image type. This is crucial since only PNG images can handle dynamically applied text. $image = imagecreatefrompng("../images/sotw_background.png");states the location of the background image you are going to use. It looks like this http://forums.xisto.com/topic/125-user-contributions/ //imagecolorallocate($image, R, G, B) in HEX values$font_black = imagecolorallocate($image, 2, 1, 8);$font_blue = imagecolorallocate($image, 25, 0, 255);as the remark that I made, the value of color in HEX will determine the text color you choose. I made two to make it as a comparison. $List = "name.txt";$string = trim(file_get_contents($List));;This assigns a SINGLE line characters from file named name.txt. And then assigns to variable name STRING from the opened text file. If you don't want to use external file, you can simply set $string = "your text 1";$string = "your text 2";etc. You can even do a random text where $select = rand(1,7);if($select==1)$string = "text 1";if($select==2)$string = "text 2";if($select==3)$string = "text 3";if($select==4)$string = "text 4";if($select==5)$string = "text 5";if($select==6)$string = "text 6";if($select==7)$string = "text 7"; //($image, fontsize, rightindent, downindent, data, txtcolour)imagestring($image, 3, 12, 3, "T17", $font_blue);imagestring($image, 1, 86, 6, "SOTW", $font_black);imagestring($image, 1, 110, 6, $string, $font_black);This is where the magic happens. As you can see the position of the text is determined by second two numbers. The first number determines the font size. Instead of preset characters, i.e. T17 and SOTW, you can have $string1, $string2 etc. The rest is needed to close up the PNG image and safely project reconstructed new image onto the browser. About the sig rotator reference: By renaming dynamic_sig.php to index.php and placing it under a directory called filename.png (yes directory with extension), you can use your newly created dynamic image in the forum [img]http://source_site/filename.png[/img]This will display the dynamic image as though it's been there all along. One key note is that text is only written within the boundary of an image. So if you are looking for larger image simply make your picture larger in dimension. You can have multiple rows and variable font sizes.
  11. My approach to your solution was to find something that you don't have to spend too much time researching. I knew a listservice back when it was free but no longer now. So I found this service http://www.bravenet.com/webtools/elist/index.php a free service which it will do all the things you're looking for--however you must re-register email address. Another free mailing list service is Yahoo Group. But the draw back is that a member has to have Yahoo email account and must manually register each email. Anyways, instead of having your own script I thought it would be wiser to have external free service that will not jeopardize your hosting privilege with Xisto (Xisto site admin received many spam activities and yours might be considered as one).
  12. Please visit The Help Desk and fill out a support ticket to Xisto - Web Hosting. Thank you.
  13. I began my AIDS awareness march at the age of 15 after accidently attending Washing D.C. AIDS quilt exhibition. I can't count the times I've donated, volunteered and protested for AIDS research and funds to educate the people of United States to come to understand what is AIDS and its tremendous grip on the society. That began 17 years ago and we are still marching for awareness and protest against AIDS in the United States. Even when self-proclaimed well educated--viewed from other worlds as the great opportunity country--cannot even begin to understand the simplest way to prevent the transmit of STD, I don't know what other countries that are not as affluent as the United States have any chance...? The future of mankind looks bleak.
  14. I believe up to version 1.3 was free. After that you have to purchase a license for your domain or hosting name. You can still download 1.3 version (search the web). As far as installing it on Xisto hosting contact OpaQue. If it was alright I think that it should have been available with Fantastico. But since it's not, you're better to double check with OpaQue.
  15. Holy molly, that is some awesome sig and a tutorial! I think we have another contender that will give run for GFX Crews position! Would you like to enter for our SOTW that's currently running? #25 is the serious one and #26 is the sort of break in between. Go to our SOTW (Signature Of The Week link) forum section and check it out! Simply an awesome job!
  16. Oh my head wasn't screwed in right...I completely forgot that SOTW #25 was also running. Should we postpone SOTW #26 to 1st week of March? There's no problem of doing it that way.
  17. I'm just glad that MaineFishing45 got here AFTER our forum upgrade otherwise it would not have been pretty.Welcome to Xisto. In my signature you'll notice Xisto Readme. If you already have not please take your time to review key elements. And since you're hosted (and I approved your application ) you know how awesome this free hosting service really is.Spread the word and stay active!

Choose any link above to continue your discussion. Moderators leave these links as is do not quote for it will lose URL capability. Members, you have the same responsibility to report redundant topics that you see. At the end of the topic discussion you will notice Similar Topics where it shows all related past topics. That is one of the reasons why this forum asks each of you to name your title specificially and related to your post.
  19. Search the web and you'll find http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Server admin has been notified and will get back to you with an answer. The reason server admin was involved is to determine the safety of hosting service. Please sit tight until you get a confirmation. Thank you.
  20. Search the forum before posting a topic. I have requested this to you kindly yet you still ignore to follow our forum rules. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ http://forums.xisto.com/topic/29703-free-be-domain-names-for-a-year/ http://forums.xisto.com/topic/33479-httpezyrewardscom-free-domain/ Searched with keywords "free domain" 1and1.com is offering .info domain free for 1 year with valid credit card as proof positive. This is not to humilate you but to guide you so that you can withstand our forum and its services. Warning issued.
  21. I am glad to hear that Xisto appeals to michaelper22 because Xisto is striving to be the best professional free hosting service. This is not to downplay Xisto. But Xisto was initially designed to attract gamers and game oriented forum. It would be wise to have one forum that's dedicated to straight technical aspects and one dedicated to general aspects of the computer and computer related discussions. For that Xisto has accomplished what it set out to be. You are allowed to have one account in Trap and one account in Xisto. However, hosting credits are non-transferable.
  22. Try http://whois.domaintools.com/ And select the Domain Explorer tab. You can then have all options such as left anchor or right anchor (meaning it starts with or ends with). Set the domain length to 4 and you'll be all set. Since this is a free service without registering, you are limited to certain number of queries per day.
  23. I so agree, Cool Freaker. Some restrictions are nice to have for some kind of guidance. Render packages are very nice however it does cap on exploring creativities.Noted and will pass on.
  24. Double Entries!Size: 350x20Brushes: AnyText: Xisto Forum User (or Xisto Member, Xisto Hosted, etc, etc)Colors: AnyRender: AnySize: 350x20Brushes: AnyText: Blank (I'm going to see if people would want to customize by adapting dynamic quotes)Colors: AnyRender: AnyThe Userbar is gaining popularity though out the internet community. I would like to see what you can do with such limited dimension for a signature You are to submit two entries. One is with your rendition of text words (however you choose as long as Xisto related) and one without text (I'd like to see if others would like to use the background with text chosen by a member and placed dynamically, which I have the script for).Entry deadline: Feb 25th. Voting starts the following Monday.Good luck!
  25. This closing was recently brought to me attention. Please enter your sigs for voting of SOTW #25. When there are entries the voting will begin next week. And please keep render packets small or divided for those who may not have the luxury of having a broadband speed. Thank you. *** Avalon, I downloaded the render package and it's all Naruto related renders. They are big, however, so if you'd like I can make them in thumbnail sizes and you can pick the one you want to download? I'll get the thumbnail http://forums.xisto.com/topic/125-user-contributions/ and you let me know via PM which one you want to download. Most of them have alpha channel that my thumbnail creator couldn't understand. But the originals are in clean and free from alpha channel.
