  1. Thanks both for your input! I'll clarify some things... Correct. More exactly, it is based on the Stack Exchange platform, which is also the basis for Stack Overflow.We did, though, what customizations we thought were necessary. However, the platform is really good, so mainly we concentrate in getting it in the right direction - as our hardware topic is vastly different than the programming world. The pink invasion was an April 1st joke ... We had a message warning new users of it, you must have missed it. Now we are back to our normal colors - you can check the site again, I think you'll find them rather pleasant. Well, the questions with 0 answers do have that 0 in red - it should be more noticeable now, without the pink invasion. Also, there is an "Unanswered" tab, where you can see all the unanswered questions. First of all, the beauty of the system is that you don't have to log in or register to ask or answer questions, you can post them as simply as you'd post comments on a blog. Next, the button is deliberately far off in the corner. We'd want users first to get used with the system, see what kind of questions they can ask, and only then ask questions of their own. Of course, this is a subjective topic. You could argue both ways. We talked about it and decided it was better for the site to have the button in a bit more subtle position. And again, thanks a lot for the feedback. Although I seem to dismiss most of it, we gather different opinions and then we do changes on the site - things that make sense for most of the guys that give us feedback.
  2. Now really, nobody has any feedback on it?I'm really curious, if you like the format, if you think it's appropriate for a Q&A site on computer hardware.Also, suggestions for the design, or any suggestions at all, are highly welcomed.Thanks!
  3. Hey! You've probably seen a lot of discussion forums, some worse, some better. I invite to take a look at my website: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Although I can't find a better way to quickly describe it than a "hardware forum", it's actually much more that a forum. And you'll feel this right after you see it. It's a very user-friendly system, based on questions and answers. The best answers get voted by other users, so you'll surely find the best answers always on top, when you are curious about a question. And the system has many other interesting aspects. The underlying platform is a brand new one, developed two years ago, and already used on the biggest programming website. I'm actually quite curious what do you think about this type of system. Do you like it better than the omnipresent phpBB forums? Also, I'm curious if you like the design. I and my friends spent quite some time tweeking it.
  4. Ok, no offense intended, but it's petition. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/petition http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ http://www.dictionary.com/browse/petition
  5. I can't believe the answers here :DYou guys are too politically corect.No, you shouldn't wait. Make sex as much as you can. Sex is beautiful, fun and most of all pleasant.Anyone who says otherwise didn't do it with more than one person and his hand :DSincerely yours,The Devil
  6. Noup. That didn't work... Maybe it's something with blogs under creativeriots.com... Vielleicht... Anyway, thanks for the explanations with theme upgrading. I'll probably do it next week-end.
  7. No, most likely you won't have to pay for anything. Also, Google is not the only one doing street-views. There is a website http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ that has streetviews for major cities in Romania, and this company also does it for other central/eastern european countries ( Poland |Czech Republic |Slovakia |Austria |Russia). All for free, of course. It's only a matter of time until we'll be able to see street views from every major road in the world. And that's definetely a good thing. The 'against' reasons are kind of... (how sould I say this)... a bit dumb.
  8. No, I tried at least 20 times, with exactly the same password that works in CPanel and FileZilla. I even wrote it once in clear text and then pasted it and it didn't work. The problem is not with the password. Yes, absolutely unlikely, as FileZilla works I had already did the permission change to 777 for the wp_content dir. I even tried it now for the other folders related to Wordpress, still it didn't work. My best bet is there is something wrong with Wordpress, a small glitch that in connection with it being hosted here on trap makes it impossible to use the automatically install plugins (and upgrades). Has anybody here with a 2.7 Wordpress blog hosted on trap managed to use the automatic install? And yes, I already did this for a plugin. I just wish I could do it easier.And also I have a doubt with the upgrade to 2.7.1. If the automatic upgrade would work I would have no worry, but if I download the new files and replace the existing ones, I'm worried I might lose some of my WP settings, or my theme's settings (which are quite a lot).
  9. I installed Wordpress 2.7 on my site, hosted by Xisto, http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Everything went ok and smooth, I installed a theme, some plugin (manually), but I saw that I can also install plugins automatically (from the Wordpress administration panel). The problem I have when I try to do this is my Connection Information. I use the same credentials as I use with FileZilla to upload things to my website, but it doesn't seem to work. So, maybe somebody here on trap has already did this and can point me to what I do wrong. The Connection Settings I use: Hostname: riotingbits.creativeriots.com (I also tried with http and with no protocol) Username: riotingb (the same as the one I log on to CPanel) Password: ****** (the same as the one I log on to CPanel) Connection Type: FTP (also tried FTPS) I also attached a print-screen with the error. Any idea? Anyone?
  10. My vote went to Avast.I tried all the known freeware antiviruses (at least the free ones on this list) and Avast was simply the best.Better protection, better detection when I was de-virusing computers of friends of mine.And I really love that type of scanning you can do when it scans at boot time, so before Windows starts.Simple and good.
  11. Sorry, I had to remove the content here. Nevertheless, you can read it all here: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ PS: Somebody should modify the description for this .NET forum. Currently it's ".NET ( ASP.net VB.net )", but it should also have C#, as it became the primary language for .NET.
  12. It's kind of funny how the votes are still very tight, 60 to 61 in this moment.And no wonder there are already 30 pages with comments to this topic, after all, this is a per-se religious debate (you know, that kind of debate that never ends and no-one can convince others of anything, as the basis of the discussion - if the beligerents believe in God or not - is already set and cannot be changed).Now, to put my opinion so I can be hated, I voted for Yes, the world would be better without a religion.I'm not going to talk to much, because I know I'd be wasting my breath on people who already have strong opinions about their faith. I think mostly coward people, and people who are very conformist and afraid to question their ancestors' decisions get to be religious. And a world without religion would be better in the first place because you wouldn't have religious fanatism, like muslim fanatism, but also like groups who fight against abortion and science researches in the West.You can kill me now
  13. And I'm going to teach you how to multiply in binary.It's actually pretty simple, if you know how to do it normally (in decimal) :DSo, in decimal it would be, let's say 105 * 23:--105 *----23_____--315210_____2415If you are used to that, in binary it's the same idea:----1011 *------101_______----10111011_______1101111011 is 8 + 2 + 1 = 11 in decimal.101 is 4 + 1 = 5 in decimal.Now, if we multiply in decimal, 11 * 5 = 55, which is exactly our result in binary, 110111.(I used the "-" signs to align the numbers right, as spaces aren't rendered correctly)
  14. I tried to put all the anti-viruses I've seen used in the other 100+ pages topic.However, I see someone has voted for Other.So please, if I missed some anti-virus that you're actually using (and you are fond of it), do tell.I can add another option to the poll
  15. We already have a topic with more than 1000 replies debating the best anti-virus. Unfortunately, though, I think that tone of dicussions is pretty useless. I mean, no-one will go now over 100 pages of talking to see different opinions from different people and decide what anti-virus they should get. So I decided to create a poll. I've put here the most talked-about anti-viruses. People will see which are the most popular and appreciated choices. Of course, you're also free to discuss and argument your decision. VOTE OR DIE! Links to the choices: Avast AVG Avira BitDefender Kaspersky McAfee Nod32 Norton AntiVirus
