  1. Why not? It's a lot simpler than trying to get CGI to work, or thats how I've found it in the past. If you want help getting it to work then I and many others are willing to help. BuffaloHELP does explain it pretty well in that thread so have a look and see if it can help you. Also try the site of the creator of the script. I can't remember it at the moment so just have a look in cPanel.
  2. Wow, 4 gigapixels! I saw this a few months back on TV when they were developing it. Supposedly they had to keep the camera and subject quite still as it took a while to get the image. That zoom is amazing, but each image must take up a huge amount of hard drive space! I doubt people will be walking around with a camera with that power in their pocket for a long time, to get a decent number of photos you would need something like a 200GB memory card!!
  3. Woooo, this list could go on for ever! The things I personally hate are: The entrance pages. Whats the point? OK, I've come to your site only to be given a large button labelled Click To Enter. Never really understood the point. Annoying javascript. OK a clock may be useful, but a clock following your mouse made out of ASCII art?? Copying information. If you can't write your own stuff, don't have a website. You wouldn't walk up to a Picasso and say "I painted that", so don't do it to other peoples content. Automatically opening web pages. Their hit counter goes up, but they know that most of those hits are people forcibly having the page opened and then closing it 2 seconds later. Another commonly annoying use for javascript. Loads of animated GIFs. Even on broadband a whole page full of unhelpful and pointless animated GIFs can take a while to load, and its even more frustrating when the images didn't need to be animated anyway! Sorry I sound a bit angry, I am trying to finish my geography coursework for the end of next week!
  4. I'm not really a fan of the mac mini, it doesn't really have enough RAM, anyway...Why wouldn't your sound work? I've got to say it seems like a good idea, but I can't see a point for me at the moment. Nice idea though, let us know how it all turns out.
  5. Wow, that is weird! I tried making a logo that said 'Google' and it did it in a slightly different size, and the wrong colours, but hey, its fun! If you click the Yahoo Logo Maker link on the right they have a list of different logo styles you can make. Some of them are actually quite realistic... PM me with your current email address if you want an invite.
  6. I'll give my vote to snlildude87/Nguyen. Everything just seems to work together and it looks brilliant.
  7. If you simply want the results of the form to be emaild to you then I think it would be easier to use PHP. Use this code for the form: <form method="post" action="sendmail.php"> <P> Language: <input type="text" name="language" size="35"><br> Phrase: <input type="text" name="phrase" size="35"><br> Meaning: <input type="text" name="meaning" size="35"><br> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form> Then create a new file called sendmail.php and make sure it is in the same folder as the HTML form. Put this into the sendmail.php file using a text editor like notepad: <?php$language = $_POST['language'];$phrase = $_POST['phrase'];$meaning = $_POST['meaning'];$subject = "New Information";$address = "chromlea@gmail.com";$message = "Language: ";$message .= $language;$message .= " Phrase: ";$message .= $phrase;$message .= " Meaning: ";$message .= $meaning;mail($address, $subject, $message) or die("There was an error sending the email");?> Try that and see if it does what you want it to. If not, or there are any errors then feel free to ask for help
  8. Simply go here. Its the index of the forum. Click the words Free Web Hosting > just above where all the posts are.
  9. Make sure the log-in name is set to "admin@sader.trap17.com" and not just "admin". I made that mistake to begin with. If that fails then try replacing the @ with a +, that sometimes works.
  10. Britain has strawberries, and very cheap. I can get a large basket full of strawberries for ?1.50 (about $2.70). OK, you pick them yourself, but at least you know what you're getting, and its fun
  11. I've never really thought about the end of the World. Unfortunately I think the World could end in a few ways. Firstly due to a terrorist attack. With attacks becoming more frequent and devastating it seems inevitable that eventually someone will get hold of some missiles or tanks and start invading countries and get them under terrorist control, which will eventually spiral into more countries in their command until the entire planet is fighting against itself in a huge World War. It could end in the same way that the dinosaurs died out. Although no-one knows how they were all killed, there is nothing to say it will never happen again. There could also be a pandemic of a deadly disease or virus which we simply cannot cope with. Finally, there may be an alien invasion, although I hope their space exploration would be for the same reasons as ours, to further their knowledge and learn more about where they live.I also had a look at that link you gave, sonyguy. It does make for quite scary and shocking reading.
  12. I think you have to go into Add/Remove and click on Windows Options or something, and remove SP1 then go to Microsofts website and download it again. You can download SP1 without using Windows Update and I think it has a 'repair' option to fix a failed install, you could always try that.
  13. I had the same problem on an old PC, it kept coming up with the same error. I found just unplugging the drive, switching on then off and plugging it in again worked. Anyway, if someone has tried to steal sensitive information then that is a serious crime. Do you have CCTV or network activity records or something? Thats just worrying that someone would try to steal the information.
  14. I have a PHP gallery on my website (here). I wrote it my self using different bits of tutorials, PHP.net and other codes I'd written in the past. It works by having a separate folder for each category and you just navigate to the relavent folder for those images. For example, I have two galleries, one at /gallery/ which has fractals and one at /tg_gallery/ for Terragen. It could easily be adapted to get folder names for galleries and create an index of all the galleries. If you like the look of it I would be happy to give you the code and help you adapt it to your needs. You could also try a pre-made gallery such as Copper Mine (link). They always have mods and themes you can download and customise.
  15. First check that you have CHMOD 777 to the file and the folder it is in, which often requires moving it to a different folder of its own. There may also be a problem with the path /home/cmatcme/public_html/afolder/afile.txt As far as I am aware, if the PHP script is in /home/cmatcme/public_html/afolder/ then you would write the path as just afile.txtI think it works just like HTML paths. You never put the literal file path in HTML, so you don't in PHP. Try changing it and see if it helps. It doesn't matter that you don't understand the docs , you don't need to. You are using the function correctly as it is.
  16. Doesn't that seem a little unfair? Even if you do buy the cheapest model you should still expect it to arrive on time and the staff to be couteous. I'm sure theres also a law stating that any product has to last for one year or a reasonable expected time. 2 days doesn't seem reasonable.
  17. OK, I have Norton Firewall and Antivirus and all that and it seems to make very little difference to the speed (on 1.1MBPS). If you use Firefox that can make pages appear slowly. The Windows firewall can also cause the net to go incredibly slowly. I have found this speed test to be reliable and safe. Its free, just click the large green Start button and fill in the info (your connection speed and country).
  18. I've just installed it and I much prefer it to MSN Messenger, as it isn't full of ads and weird tabs linking to you buying smilies and other junk. Competition is a great thing, especially with free software, as companies can't just lower the price!
  19. OK, hope I'm doing this right: rvalkass 3 + 9 = 12 -> 1 + 2 = 3 -> 3 + 4 = 7 My Trapopoly number is: Lucky 7 Is that how you do it?
  20. Hi, welcome to the forums!I am sure you will have no trouble in getting your hosting and your site should be up in no time.If you have any problems designing and building your site there are loads of people here willing to help out, so don't be afraid to ask.

  21. Crazy Frog is a ringtone that is incredibly annoying that has now been released on CD and got into the charts for some strange reason...
  22. I agree with biscuitrat, often you can find lots of great free scripts just by searching randomly in Google. You can also find some good scripts at Planet Source Code. If you are new to making websites and all that then I would strongly suggest using a content management system (CMS). This basically builds the entire site for you so its ready to use. Most have a user login function, a download section and other stuff like that. To make life simple, there are some CMSs included with cPanel: 1. Go to http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ 2. Log in with your username and password. 3. Click on the 'Fantastico' link. 4. Click a name from under the 'Content Management' section to read more about it. 5. When you have one you like, click the 'New Installation' link and follow the instructions, and your site is done!
