as it is, it's already good. then you winked at me, and it became very good! if you're still gonna modify it some more, maybe experiment on applying multi-colors on your wings... just to add to the details. but then again, as i said, it works well as it is.

it's a rand function in word used to create dummy/sample text in a document. here's the explanation from microsoft knowledge base:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/212251

some think of it as a "virus", especially to those unfamiliar with word. others label it as an easter egg.

you can start with "real life" people you know with creative inclinations and with sufficient gray matter to participate in your forums. it's really hard to reach anonymous people inviting them to join, short of spamming, but with a core group like friends and acquaintances, you can expand on your forum's content and conversations. you can just keep your fingers crossed that others who drop by your site will entice them to register and stay.you can brainstorm with others too on what extra special your forums can offer. and when your visitors chance upon it, hopefully it will appeal to their creative id. i am not creatively charged right now, but i know you and others can think of something, anything. work on your forum theme too. any reason why it looks gloomy and foreboding? something psychological, but it may help if a more lively visual environment is there instead. "artists" your prospective members may be, who are more brooding and moody in nature, it is much more enticing to provide a change of scenery when they are in your forums -- in contrast to a real life environment which they may be experiencing. just a suggestion though. :PPS: add your forum URL in your Xisto signature. there are lots of "creative" people here, it can help drive traffic and prospective members to your site.

did you really mean to make it as if she has some skin disease or something? i like the scar on her cheek, though. a touch of imperfection works good on a beautiful model.you may want to work on the lighting though, as the foreground image of the model is a stark contrast to the background. work on the interplay of shadows for both foreground and background, so it would mesh together as one, and not appear as an amateurish cut & paste work. :)work on the texture too for a richer experience. :Pi suggest you add a title next time for your image, so it can give us an idea on the concept you want to achieve. by and large, with some enhancements, this will make a good wallpaper for anybody's desktop.

you mean your own template design for mambo? you may want to check the tutorial linked in this post:
http://forums.xisto.com/topic/26600-mambo-templates-best-templete-sites-how-to-make-own/

when you get to create your own template based on your design, you can add and remove items according to how you envision your mambo-powered site to look like, including the removal of the mambo banner on the bottom of the page (i imagine the default mambo theme has this).

check the requirements against your own setup. see what you may be missing. some basic product requirements as listed on creative.com:

* Genuine IntelŽ PentiumŽ III 1 GHz, AMDŽ 1 GHz processor or faster * Intel, AMD or 100% compatible motherboard chipset
* MicrosoftŽ WindowsŽ XP Service Pack 2 (SP2)
* 256MB RAM
* 600MB of free hard disk space
* Available PCI 2.1 slot for the audio card
* CD-ROM/CD-RW or CD/DVD-ROM required for software installation
* Graphics card with DirectXŽ 9 and OpenGLŽ compliant 3D graphics accelerator

also, it may just be loosely connected to your PCI slot.

but then again, i figure this won't affect your system from booting up, if ever. most often, it would simply just be unrecognized and not be identified properly in your device manager.

if your computer will not work with the new card installed, yet will resume functioning properly when it is removed again, then it could likely be a hardware conflict of sorts.

Is it true that you can have as many mysql databases on this site?

how many do you need? since you are already hosted with Xisto, check your cpanel for the number of mysql databases allowed for your account. it it says "unlimited", then that basically answers your question.

none of that sort, irmlm. no referral links to boost up your credits here. it will solely be your post contributions which will help you earn hosting credits here.

well, you can pick what you want from the 50 or so channels from this hypothetical provider, can't you? this leaves you the option to watch whatever you want, from the available choices. if you limit yourself on the channels you can have access to, it defeats the purpose of having the bundled channels for your widest leisurely pleasure, doesn't it? on a given day, your mood might strike you to watch animal planet instead, leaving national geographic for a while. at least, with both of them readily accesible, you can switch channels to whatever your mood dictates. furthermore, you can always set your remote to remember your favorites -- something akin to having your main channel/s for quick point-and-click access! :Por am i getting your point wrong for the idea you posted?

thankfully, this doesn't seem to be affecting us in metro manila, here in the philippines. metro manila is geographically north of our archipelago, and although we are part of southeast asia, the source of the forest fires in indonesia is too far for us to experience it. and maybe the winds are helping too, since it may be forcing any of the smog created by the fires out of our way.often times, these situations as forest fires can be prevented. news reports say the fires could have been accidentally set about by plantation/agricultural companies or farmers who are clearing lands, most likely commercial purposes. meaning, it's all economics -- be it high-profit margin for the companies, or small-profit margin for small farmers. we can't help much if small farmers do it, since slash-and-burning to clear out land for cultivation could be their only means of livelihood. however, it's no excuse not to be careful about such method, since as what happened, the fire got out of hand. for big-time profiteers, well they should be ready to compensate all those affected by such actions. it will hurt their pockets the most, and hopefully they will stop it altogether, if not driving them to total bankruptcy. in short, they should stop doing it the EASY way (big or small timers), since a minor human error could spark a raging fire which cannot be controlled without much difficulty and has a wide ranging effect in the region. and the government of indonesia should assist the small farmers who practice the slash-and-burn method, by giving them alternative sources of livelihood so they will not return to this practice anymore.hey, darran, hopefully the haze will soon start to dissipate and eventually disappear in your part of the region. and hope indonesia would get to control and extinguish the forest fire, without waiting for the monsoon rains to lick it. it's not only the people of the region which gets affected, but their very own people most especially who get the greater part of the health risks, affecting even overall tourism which drives the economy of much of our region. not to mention, trees help our planet survive. let's keep our fingers crossed that this ends soon.

my vote goes to samma.

i like the level of detail that is apparent in both foreground and background. not too smoothened out or blurred. plus, there is an economic use of space in his creation, for both image and text. not too tight, and not too loose.

Since the presentation, Spiegelmock has backpedalled on the zero-day claims. In a note posted to the Mozilla Web site on Monday, he says that he was never able to exploit the supposed vulnerability to hijack computers.

clearly, it was a "hoax" from the start. here's an official statement from spiegelmock from the mozilla developer center.

halloween is fast approaching... and with it, halloween costumes in parties, etc. do you go out dressed in costume on halloween? wanna share your past experiences with halloween costumes here? and your plans of costume to wear this coming halloween?

 

(note: this thread will only be about costumes, so DO NOT try to inject any religious discussion in here, as religion is not the topic.)

Pacelman and Cellvader. "new games?," you may ask... but not really!

 

these are simply variants to the classic games PACMAN and SPACE INVADER, and you read it right -- IN EXCEL! also known by other names, such as ExcelPacman, and ExcelInvader. reportedly, these will work on excel 97 and excel 2000 only, so if you want to try the games which can be freely downloaded, make sure you have at least the versions of excel as mentioned above.

 

i'm pretty sure you'd be interested to find out how it was even possible to recreate these classic games in excel, so i'd leave you to download them so you can try it for yourself.

(i could have easily linked the files for download directly, but i won't HOTLINK them [so don't do it yourselves in succeeding posts ]. just visit the pages instead, as the author intended it to be. just look for the word Download on the page if you get lost. )

 

note: tested to work on my end with excel 2000, with macro enabled.

a noteworthy addition to the xisto network. :)this i've been meaning to ask, admins BH & Opaque: does the embedded imagefilez upload form above utilize java? it is just that i noticed it for days already (since the imagefilez form was introduced to Xisto forums) that java gets loaded in my system whenever i login here. i'm using firefox btw, and i see the java icon loaded in my notification area/system tray in my daily visits on Xisto.

i have no first-hand experience with drupal, so i can't say for certain. ask me about joomla instead (i'm currently using this for one of my sites).

nevertheless, here are some tips:
1. for the AOL user you said which cant receive his registration email, AOL may just be filtering it as spam. have you any other registrants with other email providers, like yahoo, msn, gmail for example? if it works for one, it should work for all.
2. don't forget to properly configure your user registration, as you require.
3. try to register a test account yourself, using an email address you own, so you can verify if registration works or not.
4. if in your own test account you registered yourself, you find you do not receive the registration email, then this might help: E-Mail from Drupal is bouncing or not being sent
5. if SMTP configuration via your php.ini does not work, try this: Configuring Drupal to successfully relay SMTP mail to an external mail server using smtp.class

so far that's the research i have done for you. hope it helps. there maybe differences with how the linked suggestions above would work depending on your drupal version, so you may want to add that next time in here as well, so we can figure out a version-specific solution for you, if we can.
