Punk, metal, jazz and rap for drugs? Yummy! :Pwtf they think we're going to listen to then? Pop? I just hope someone made a nice, looooong DoS attack on that site! Anyway, jazz is the true pothead drug. They smoke that in jazzclubs, I hear. Ecstasy for Disco/Trance/whatever club music and heroin for the rest LSD for people that only listen to the music in their own heads :angel:I think these people writing this stuff should consider that because the artists of these genres mostly use a particular drug, it doesn't mean that their listeners will. It's not like I smoke pot and sniff heroin off my hi-hat when I listen to Jazz, you know...

Alright, so I've yet again done something to it. According to your recommendations, of course. Haha This is in "xcf-mode", currently, because I want to design first, then code it down. But I'll make the effect CSS3 "text-shadow: 0px 1px 0px #fff;" when I do my infamous xcf -> WordPress theme- trick :angel: I got rid of the line, but I still need something to divide the about page from the categories? (I've decided to make Freebies a category, btw). Added those 3 things. So, I'm a bit curious about adding a word to it. I was considering "Easy tutorials for web designers" or something? As for the right side, it's going to contain a RSS icon. I'm guessing it feels off because the logo has a white glow behind it. Well, the RSS icon is going to be somewhat like the navbar (graphically). Alrighty then, so here it is: I revolutionized the content area a bit as well as lightened up the header more. So, what do you think? Thanks to everyone for replying! EDIT: I changed the font of the header, because someone told me comic sans is horrible...

Use ftp and see if that works, if it doesn't, contact Xisto - Support by submitting a new ticket at Xisto - Support.com/billing (log in first).

Delete the file and write a new one, see if that works.

I've never been to a hockey game, but I follow the winter olympics this year (mostly hockey). And I have a bad feeling about the Finland-USA match tonight... :DI'm cheering for Finland.@Jenni123: Yay Finland won something, at last :angel: The girls are tougher I guess, since Finland lost to Sweden in men's series.And I suck at hockey myself

You're what I would call a "shifter" :angel:And I'm sorry, but you have lost all your chances. Personally, if I were that girl, I would stop talking to you. She is hurt, and reacting this way, and you're not helping the situation by any means. Us guys sometimes take it "too" seriously when a girl says she cares for us. And stop being so selfish, from what I see in your post, you are requiring more attention than she can give. If you want so much attention, this isn't going to work out.This is of course my opinion...

Why use javascript when you can use div:hover { opacity:.50;filter: alpha(opacity=50); } JavaScript is pointless if the job can be done using CSS. + CSS requires less code. So I see no point using javascript. However, if you have to for some odd reason, use javascript, you can go ahead and use elem.style.opacity(), no need to clarify with CSS and JavaScript.

Alright. I merged the navigations together (just for you, anwiii :angel:). The sidebar is yet to contain anything, but this is what I've come up with: What do you think? I know the test post box' bottom gray bar is a little out of place, but what do you think of it otherwise?

So let's say hypothetically, you can do streaming and it won't go against the TOS? I thought xisto didn't let people stream or have chat-rooms and host a download archive?

So, is this going to be an add-on domain? If yes, then a new folder will be created in your public_html folder and your new add-on domain will be redirected to that. Take a back-up of everything. Redirect your visitors to a page where you inform them about maintenance. Go to your forums' settings in your forum software's admin cpanel and change your forum index path(if it says "enter url only if you want blah blah blah..." post back here with the message). Then move all the files and folders to that /forums- folder without affecting the folder structure. Try if it works, if it doesn't work, go to phpmyadmin and search through configurations' table(in the forum's database) for the index path and replace those urls with the current url. Report back to us. I have written tutorials on the subject. Although I don't think the last 2 of your mouseover effects can be done with CSS alone. http://tutoriary.com/ http://tutoriary.com/ The second link is about making the background image shift with one image only. This will decrease http requests and speeds up your site a little bit. The 3rd mouseover effect might be possible with this code: a:active {color:#0000FF;} /* selected link */I haven't tried this out. Tho this selected link will stay selected unless the user clicks on somewhere else on the page. Your 3rd demand is also weird if you're not going to use ajax or javascript interactivity. Usually when someone clicks the link/buttons, he/she gets redirected to a page and the bg images return to default. Good luck.

Hi again, everyone! So, I've been working on the template. Anwiii, thanks for the book graphic idea. I thought about it and made it part of my logo. I couldn't make a navigation out of it, because I didn't come up how to indicate html and css with images(?). Anyway, I make a book (took a long time too, with all the details, and then got shocked for half of them disappearing after scaling ). I have decided to keep the page and category navigations separate, mostly because I'm adding more pages (feedback page, copyrights page) and maybe more categories in the future! I have seen many sites keep pagenav on top, so I've put it up there too... I know, not very unique. @tf: But why everyone makes it seem so easy? Is everyone copying everyone and I'm missing something? Thanks for all the help. Anyway, I did the best (methinks) I can. @web_designer: umm? I'm using a custom theme here, I only have 1 description. I build my own themes on the templates I make. And that description was included in the image. But of course search engines won't index my keywords in there, so I'll add alt text and put the whole thing in a header tag. Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll improve that theme and share it as a freebie on my site later! @Zagu: I know it's simple. Improving it... Sooo, here's the template: I've yet to add stuff to the sidebar and make some custom buttons and other gfx, but this is a draft. Sorry it took me so long to reply... been lazy lately :angel: Thanks for replying everyone! Replies on the updated template are also appreciated. And don't forget to visit my site!

Humans make decisions based on their goal. Machines can be set to have goals. So could you point out (with some evidence and logic, preferably) some core differences between human making decisions and software making decisions. Because now it seems like you're saying that people make decisions randomly based on nothing.:angel:

Oops, I said "you need to take a lot of updates", What I meant was taking a lot back-ups... stupid me!Anyway, those security updates sometimes have something to do with the core scripts, and it's more difficult, I would say it's easier to mod your mods to work with the next version instead of modding the core and fix vulnerabilities? This is of course, if you haven't made modifications to the core...

Well, I advice you by first starting to download some of the freebie social network scripts from the web, read their documentation and try to mimick it.Now, get familiar with ajax and download the jQuery library (or use Google's one). Having all this done, make as many scripts as you can and experiment with ideas. Then make the final one based on all the freebie scripts you've studied.Sounds like a lot of work, but hey, you asked for it...AND WHY INTERNET WILL BE NO LONGER IN 10 YEARS?!?! :angel:

Many updates contain security updates as well. And seeing unique cms/forum code is easily noticeable even if you cover up the tracks (people will try hacking your site when the security treats in older s/w versions are publicly available), you would still need security updates even if you've modded the crap out of the software. And Jonny, as anwiii already mentioned, you need to take a LOT of updates. Especially with forums. Every 1-5 days.

You can edit index.php in the theme folder, and it won't revert back. Unless it's one of the originally packed themes with installation, then just duplicate and give it another namer so it won't revert back. You'll also have to study what has changed with what version before updating so you know how your mods will work afterwards.

Hi Josh, and welcome to the Xisto Forums. First, since I see you're interested in hosting services already, take a look at this topic's first post to get the idea of how the system works:http://forums.xisto.com/Free-Web-Hostdpost&p=428 Another thing you should check are the board rules. Usually they are pretty obvious on forums, but our forum has a few strict rules that you have to know, otherwise you might receive a warning from one of our mods, get your account suspended or even banned. So make sure to check the board rules to avoid this. Reply here if you have any question, I'm sure one of our members will answer your questions.

You weren't very clear about this, so I'm going to assume you want to add a small piece of javascript to every post on your blog. In case that was what you meant (this can be used for loading comments with ajax for example or some other interactive function).This depends on the theme you have. Try to find the php file(s) in your theme that load the posts(some themes have separate archive, single etc. files for loading). Now, what you do is you search for the loop that's used to get your posts. There should be php functions such as wp_posts(), x_storytitle(). Insert your javascript where you want it to be in a post and you can also modify the post content's displaying order a bit. This is for embedded javascript. A much easier way to do this is view source in browser and search for the IDs of post elements in the post, then apply external javascript to those by getElementbyId in the .js file(s).

Welcome. Seeing you are after hosting here, check this link to understand the system better. And make sure to read the board rules to avoid getting a warning or a suspension. We have a set of, hmm, unique rules here. They are there to prevent abuse of free hosting so make sure you check them out. Anyway, tell us a little more about yourself. And yes, 110mb sucks, they don't even give you MySQL or mail() without a cost even though they say they offer databases and php for free. And their TOS is ridiculous(really, you should read it, it's funny as hell). It's hard to take them seriously with a TOS like that.

Why? Why everyone is overselling these days? What is the point of this when you don't allow stuff like streaming, IRC and other bandwidth-raping features? This is pointless! Why not add-on domains and no shell access (although I've never used, but might be useful). This is useless. There truly is a catch, and this particular catch is incredibly stupid. I wouldn't say that, for example my earning ratio is $0.17/post and if raised to 20 cents a post I would have to post 500 posts a year to keep that plan up. I'm a little lazy on posting but if I had the motivation and time, it would be easily achievable.

Deadmad7. Nuclear Fusion power plants do exist, I think the last one stood for 13 seconds. And the internationally funded one they're building in France will be heated up by fission, not lasers.Anyway, "green" energy is a nice thought, really. The only problems it has to overcome are the laws of thermodynamics. LMAO I got you, bwahhahaa :)I have a little question for you nuclear fusion people: where are you going to dump all the waste? Dump helium to the atmosphere and bury the other crap? Hahaa got you again. And what are you going to do when water runs out? You know we'll be fighting over clean water resources in the future like we are fighting over oil now? You're going to screw up water resources...An ecosystem has a certain carrying capacity. Now, what we need, is a bigger planet. People who do not realize this are either stupid, ignorant or too positive and unrealistic. Most are the last one. Sorry for offending, but you gotta slap some reality into people's minds sometimes.

Well, instead of using front page, why didn't you code your template yourself? From what I see in your post, front page has been a pain in the *insert the correct word here*, so why not coding yourself? Makes it a lot easier to understand when you know the structure of the code yourself, can adjust things with pixel-accuracy and all you have to use is some logical-seeming rules in CSS and HTML. As for tips for the original poster, others have already said everything that needs to be said. I have only one thing to add: don't use WYSIWYG editors like dreamweaver etc.

You can select to add your xisto domain to the hosting package you're ordering. They ask for it in the next right after you've selected the hosting package. Assuming you have the right nameservers configured for the domain, you should be able to add that domain (choose to add an existing domain to hosting when asked) to the hosting package you're ordering.Why did you even order the domain before hosting? There's no point in doing that. You thought you could use the domain for something without a hosting package?

Well, I don't think many people lie here, so why do we need a trusted group? Idea wouldn't be that bad... But, people don't usually give off wrong information (then they wouldn't know about the subject) and there's no guarantee that people in this group would never give off misinformation. Sorry, but this smells more like you want to have a title for yourself and be above others. I know it's cool and all, because you now have 1000+ posts and a custom title isn't enough to express that. I know you better than you think... The idea is good tho, but this will just be another thing on mods' shoulders and I don't think they need that, we already have a small mod group here and spam is everywhere...

Maybe it's about that people get injured (brain damage) and then find spirituality or hope to help them relieve the trauma. Same works with near to dying-situations? So this is the problem with this study, they interviewed patients who had already found god or whatever spiritual "thing". Surveys are not a part of a scientific study when we're talking about biology, there are too many variables and the human mind has a nice feature attached to it, I call it lying.Besides, there are many people(I'd go as far as saying most) that are religious without any significant brain damage. Linking brain damage to religious and spiritual belief directly based on a survey is unscientific. Simple psychology and SURVEYS can be used to prove that people become more religious when they know they're in trouble. Using that fact, combining ST tests with surveys is meaningless. We don't know if spiritual belief causes ST or ST causes spiritual belief. This isn't a proof for anything. Sounds more like someone just had to make a study for the sake of it.The real difference I see between unbelievers and believers (generally speaking) is curiosity and questioning. I've noticed that many believers don't care if their belief matches up with anything and they don't seek for answers, they need something to believe in. And that need overrides the need for truth. I would in fact be as brave to speculate this need being an factor that has developed through biological evolution.
