As I'm sure you're aware, ASUS publish a list of which ASUS motherboards work with Linux. The P5Q series is not one of them. People have had lots of problems with it, but very little in the way of solutions. The only useful advice I could find was from the Ubuntu Wiki:

Frames are a big no-no. You can easily achieve what you want using CSS, and either some PHP or SSI. Getting rid of the frames will make the page more accessible to users, especially those with disabilities, and of course to the search engines. Looking at the navigation on the left hand side there are a few isses. First: the scroll bars. They serve no purpose (the vertical one is visible, but disabled) and they make navigation difficult; people shouldn't have to (and won't) scroll to see the main navigation for your site. The longer links are also getting cut off to make way for the vertical scroll bar. These issues can be solved by getting rid of the frames and using CSS instead to control your page layout. Lastly, the links are not separated enough. At a quick glance, it is difficult to tell where one link ends, and another begins. The background image for the whole site was not a good choice. It doesn't tile correctly (ie. the edges don't match up) so there are clear lines visible where the image gets repeated. It is also too distracting to be a good background image. Also: the background audio. Never start sound without the user's permission! To make this problem worse, the media player is "below the fold" (you have to scroll to see it). This will only lead to annoying the vast majority of visitors. By all means have the audio player on the site, but it should be up to the user to click Play, not to click Stop. Moving to the main part of the page, the first thing that hit me was that the forum doesn't line up with anything, and doesn't match the site design. As the forum is the main emphasis of your site, I would perhaps suggest doing what Xisto does. Lose the side navigation menu completely, and just use the forum. You can add those links into the forum template. That would also solve the issue with the background image, and generally give the site a more polished feel. Also, the forum being hosted on Free-Boards gives you very little control over it. You can easily set your own forum up on Xisto, allowing you to do exactly what you want to with it. Lastly - the main reason people aren't visiting your site: they can't find it. Using frames makes it very hard for search engines to crawl your site, work out what it does, what the legitimate content is, etc. Also, nowhere do you describe what your site actually does. Search engines use introductory paragraphs etc. to work out what your site provides to visitors, and at the moment you don't have that. I'm sorry to be so critical, but it's my honest opinion of your site, and where I think your problems with it lie.

Is it just me, or is all this way too complicated? On Linux, a simple CHMOD to 700 will do the trick Only you will have access to it, and no other user will even be able to see it. That won't work on Linux/Mac. Only Windows is foolish enough to trust the file extensions to determine a file type. Linux/Mac use the headers within the file to determine it's type. Hence the reason that you don't need file extensions on anything except Windows.

No, Internet access is not part of the phone bill - I just happen to have chosen the same ISP as the main national telecoms provider. BT used to have a complete monopoly, but it was opened up a few years ago to allow other telecoms providers and ISPs. The problem is that BT still owns all the telephone cabling, so line rental has to be paid to BT, whether you use them for calls/Internet or not. However, people like Sky and Virgin are now basically setting up their own networks, with much better cabling, more modern equipment, and no line rental to BT! Unforutnately, I live miles from the nearest town, so they won't extend their network out here unless I pay for it - many thousands of pounds!!! Good luck. I've had nothing but trouble switching ISPs in the past, so I hope that you have better luck over there!

Not only would people with JavaScript turned off see nothing, but these 'encryption' methods are futile at best. At worst, they make the load times of your pages skyrocket, and annoy users. All people need to do is view the source, and run the JavaScript locally, but this time output the result so that it can be read... Suddenly all your code appears.

Yes, but your posts were in long-dead threads that were made before I was a mod When I found the topics, it was fairly obvious.

Due to the way the web works, it's impossible to totally mask the code behind a site. The browser needs to be able to read the code behind the site so that it can actually display it. If the code was hidden then the browser wouldn't be able to use it to make the page. As for copyright - you can copyright the content of the pages (the text, images, sounds, videos, whatever) but not really the HTML code behind it.

I've got this wireless adapter in one of my (K)Ubuntu desktops: http://www.linksys.com/gb/ Worked perfectly out of the box. As for routers, both the Netgear DG834G and the BT Home Hub work fine.

You put the disc in the drive "upside-down" (i.e. with the label side facing down) and use LightScribe software to design your label. It then uses the drive's laser to burn that label on the surface of the CD. Slower is generally better, so I wouldn't necessarily leap at a 20x drive until I knew that it would work reliably and store my data for a long time.

Crossing the road when the green man shows is right simply because it is the safest option. It is not really right in a moral sense of right and wrong, but right because it saves your life. Not cheating in an exam is right mainly on a logical basis, but slightly morally too. The point of an exam is to assess an individual's abilities; if they copy or cheat then you're not assessing their abilities, but their ability to copy. Respecting everyone is a moral decision. Generally I respect everyone to start with, and people gradually gain or lose my respect depending on their actions. Most people do the same. Respect is simply our way of letting people know that we agree with their decision, their actions, their opinions, and hold them in high regard. Doing drugs is wrong because (here in the UK, at least) it's illegal. Generally, people tend to find anything that is illegal also wrong. We are taught this from a young age. However, there are notable exceptions (speeding, copying music, etc.) which people seem to ignore. Smoking is seen as wrong because, if you smoke around people, you are damaging their health for no reason at all. You wouldn't like it if I started pouring tar down your throat - you'd see that as wrong - and smoking is doing that to people. Malpractice and plagarism are wrong as they make the tasks/actions they are associated with pointless (such as plagarising a piece of work - your mark will be pointless) or dangerous (malpractice as a doctor...). Generally these things are decided by the law and your parents and teachers when you're young. As we get older we form some of our own ideas, but we often have the same principles that we were given all those years ago.

I certainly won't be uploading anything soon...

My Speedtest from all of 10 seconds ago: I think the UK is the worst developed nation for broadband speeds. They recently considered upgrading the entire country to fibre optics. The cost? £5.1 billion. It'll never happen, and in the meantime I'm paying £28 (US$50, AU$61) per month, plus £11.50 per month line rental for this connection... And that doesn't include phone calls. Or digital TV. Or any of the other stuff other countries seem to bundle together with their connections. C'est la vie. I also have a bundle of wiring resembling a plate of spaghetti that currently forms the internal PC network, and connects the phones up. It's in that state where it works, and no-one wants to touch it just in case it stops working The XBox, one desktop and one laptop are wireless now, and I'm sure their ethernet cables are in there somewhere...

A vintage car is one manufactured between the start of 1919, and the end of 1930.However, in America the dates are usually 1919 to 1925.

In the UK, sex education is given in schools from around the age of 10/11 (while you're in your last year of primary school) and regularly throughout secondary school until the age of 16. For the most part this was done by teaching staff, or occasionally an outside speaker from a family planning clinic or somewhere similar. However, at the age of 14 we were given sex education by students in the sixth form (aged around 16/17). You are right here. The students weren't really much older than those they were teaching, but it helps to relax the atmosphere and makes everyone more comfortable. When a teacher does it, everyone just starts giggling and no-one takes it seriously. It becomes embarrassing all round, even for the teacher! Having students only a few years older than you do it made more sense. People were less embarrassed, asked more questions, and the lessons generally were more useful. I agree. When it came to sex education, the students really respected the sixth form students more than the teachers. Why? Because they can relate to eachother more easily in a topic that is often awkward and difficult to discuss, especially among a group with your friends. The brief was something along the lines of "Keep it fun and relaxed, but get the point across" and it really worked. When teachers and parents do it, it seems forced and awkward for everyone concerned. When discussing it with people only a few years older than you, the students really seemed to get more involved, take it seriously, and generally respond to it better. It certainly taught the sixth form students a sense of responsibility, both towards their younger students and to society generally. We don't have "college credit" in the UK, but many students who took part in teaching the younger students mentioned it on their University applications or job applications and CVs. I agree entirely. Sex education makes a huge difference, and it also makes the topic somewhat easier to discuss. I know that for our first sex education session (at primary school) our parents were invited to discuss it with the staff, look at all the videos, worksheets, whatever we were using and just to generally be aware of what were being taught. That made the topic easier for parents to discuss with their kids, as they knew exactly what they had done that day, what they had seen, what they knew, etc. At secondary school this was never done, so parents didn't know if or when their kids were being given sex education. It's a difficult topic to bring up spontaneously, and without that headstart for the parents, many students found it much harder to discuss it with their parents as time went on. Again, agreed. Whether people follow the advice they have been given is another matter entirely, but I think we were taught pretty much everything you needed to know at school. This, unfortunately, I have to disagree with. In the UK we have a very comprehensive sex education policy, and it is taught from a very early age, and reinforced right up until school leaving age (and the legal age at which you can have sex). However, STIs are on the increase, and our rates of teenage and unwanted pregnancies are some of the highest in Europe, if not the world. I think many students see sex education as an invitation to start having sex, despite the fact that sex education is started at the age of 11, and the legal age of consent is 16. Coupled with increased alcohol consumption by youths, people are just ignoring common sense advice and getting themselves into all sorts of life-changing and disastrous problems.

The images files themselves are not accessible from the browser, which means that even if the folder has the correct permissions, the actual files within it do not.Open your FTP software or the cPanel file manager and go to ~/public_html/forums/style_images/ip.boardpr1220909160/Check what the permissions (CHMOD) are for each file. It seems like, at the moment, the files aren't even readable by anyone.

When I try to access any of the image files, I get the following error: Perhaps you have CHMOD'd the folder to 0777, but not the files inside it? Most FTP software has a box you have to tick to make the CHMOD cascade to all the files within the folder too.

Trap17 is generally against the whole idea of referral links, so it would be slightly hypocritical to have our own referral program :)As for the banner, there is nothing that says you have to put one on your site. However, if you do then you will send more people here and the hosting and community can only get better because of it.

Have you tried logging in to cPanel through this address: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Also, what did you originally have the domain as, and what subdomain did you change it to?

Some people think it's done on length, so add loads of blank lines to the end of their post, which we remove But so far I haven't seen anyone try using the same coloured font as the background. It would be fairly obvious though - a massive blank space in the middle of the post. As far as I know, yes. It doesn't matter whether you edited the post or not, the calculation is the same.

Douglas Adams' writing style isn't all that complicated, and the books are always a good laugh. I suggest taking a look at The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. There are five books in the series, so if you like the first one you've got plenty more to read He also wrote two surreal detective novels, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul, which I also recommend. I also agree with the suggestion to read Terry Pratchett's novels. Both Pratchett and Adams are British, so you get British English rather than American (just make sure you get a UK copy of the book). If you're ordering online, I suggest using Play.com. Just click the little Euro flag in the top right corner, and you'll get the prices in Euros, and free shipping to Norway. The books will also be the UK versions, so you can guarantee you'll get the British English version you need.

I haven't used Flash in a while, so I may be missing something obvious here, but can't you use a PNG file? PNG will support transparency, and should carry that over to being imported into Flash (unless Adobe haven't implemented it correctly).

As far as I am aware, the forum software (IPB) doesn't allow for that sort of conditioning. I don't think there is an option to say that people in a certain group require approval, while others don't (but I'm not sure - it's a while since I used IPB). Therefore it is a choice between approval for everyone, or allowing every post. A huge amount of spam reaches the Internet forum, and it therefore makes more sense to require moderator approval for all posts, otherwise legitimate posts would likely disappear under a pile of spam.I know it can get slightly annoying, but I certainly don't mind getting PMs asking me to look at a topic and approve it. If a moderator is online then that is usually the best option. Personally, I always look in the forums which require approval and approve legitimate posts whenever I can.

Not at all. Chrome uses KHTML/WebKit. As every good developer is already writing their sites so they work in Konqueror, Safari and other KHTML/WebKit browsers it shouldn't be a problem unless Google have badly implemented it.

Topic is resolved.Please PM any moderator to continue this discussion. Until then, this topic is closed.
