He is no more... :-(

i have not been online that much and missed this piece of news. we feel your loss of a friend, opaque. let's just remember him for his life and the best of times he shared with his friends and family.

if you have any other questions with regards to hosting with Xisto, simply read the Xisto README provided (link in my sig below). or use the SEARCH function of the forums (most likely it has been asked before, and answered/discussed thoroughly). or if it's a new query with no apparent info from the readme and search results, just open up a new topic.

topic resolved. closed.

other members, please SUSPEND your comments on this topic until the issue has been sorted out by the admins. you have all been jumping to all sorts of conclusions and ranting about Xisto admins as if they have no consideration whatsoever for a member's hosting account and as if they go on a spree suspending accounts without any valid reason/s.wappy, please wait for an admin to take notice of this thread of yours. don't fret too much, it is already reported for admin attention. and it will be properly addressed by admins in the loop.closed in the meantime, until an admin responds and re-opens it for further discussion.

if i "found" it, it would mean somebody has "lost" it. perhaps i will first attempt to find out the person who has lost the million, then return it. of course, i'd be very careful to evaluate the identity of the claimant, if he or she really is the one who lost it. i will not be saying the exact amount, for one. i'll leave it to the claimant to say it so i can establish the fact. a million is a lot to lose, and i think it is not ethical to claim it as "finder's keepers" just because i found it, without even trying to know who owns it in the first place. it may be for some thing like medical expenses for which the million will be used by the owner, and i simply would want it returned.if after some time, the owner does not show up, or i have doubts as to the claimant, i may put it in a bank for safekeeping until the proper owner is established. after a year, perhaps, that's when i'd even begin thinking of spending it for my own if all attempts at returning it fail. first on my list would be a franchise for a business... i'd like the money to earn for itself. then from it, i can set aside the million thenafter (from profits) to donate to charity. i'd still have the business, and the millions gets turned over for other worthy causes.

when you get cornered about your previous statement on who you are going out with, by your "crush" or anybody else, you can always brush it off as a joke. this will almost always ease the apparent tension, for you and the one asking you. and in case it was your crush who decides to confront you on this, this will give you an opportunity to build a relationship: simply add that it may be a joke then, but counter-ask if it would be a bad thing for him if it were true? you can go on from there, basing on his reaction. he may opt to be just a friend for now, but who knows in the future, right?

What's wrong with coming back? This is a community in which I used to be a very active member, so I got to know people. But then I became very busy with other work and didn't have time to post, so when I finally found the time, I came back to contribute a little to the community again. I don't see anything weird about that...

 

it is always a good thing to have "old" members come back to Xisto and be part of the community again. there are others who get hosted elsewhere, or moved to paid hosting, but still they come back here time and again for the camaraderie. and to anndi, you will always be welcome here hosted or not. drop by anytime you have the free time, and be part of our discussions.

how does the installation of the teamspeak work? is it installed as a service (like an executable which runs off the server). or is it simply a php script which you can install on your own?if its the first one (as a service), i don't suppose Xisto would allow that since it would mean tinkering with the server with administration privileges. this would only do for dedicated servers which you can administer on your own, and where you are free to install executables on it as much as you want.if it is just a php script, then simply upload it to your hosting space at Xisto, then install according to their instructions. as for bandwidth, teamspeak usage will count towards your monthly bandwidth allotment.

please check again after some time. this apparent "database deletion" as reported by cpanel is mostly experienced when the mysql goes down. however, the database is not exactly deleted... only that cpanel reports that there are zero (0) databases present. when the mysql goes back up after mysql problem is resolved, then it will again show in the cpanel.i am not aware of the mysql going down for member sites since i just got back online again after a brief absence in Xisto, so if it is in case actually deleted on your end, please report your problem to administrator BuffaloHELP to verify it thoroughly. i am hoping it is just a case of mysql going down for a little while, and that it still exists now that mysql is obviously up (just checked my cpanel and my sites using mysql and it works).

problem resolved. closed as per thread starter's request.

interesting, BH! mentally bookmarked for online purposes in case i may need it when a suitable image editor is not available within reach (like when i'm away from my OWN pc or when i need to suggest it to a friend needing it). (although for this forum's purposes, this may not be needed any more in the future once the new BBCODE under development for image resizing is in place. right BH? )

good heavens! what would you do with a family of toads when they start to breed and propagate? hope there is a market for toads so you can be profitable in the future at least! hehehe? kidding aside however, saving that toad from being prematurely swallowed into the food chain is commendable. keeping them as pets will be good also, and i hope others will share your enthusiasm in keeping pets of whatever kind of animal -- even a toad. a pet is a pet no matter what kind it is, and as long as it is properly taken cared of by the owner, then its good. as for names, how about TREVOR for the male one (yeah, from harry potter -- neville longbottom's pet )? and PEACH for the female one (princess toadstool of super mario, anyone? )!

it can be done as what D.BOY wants it. i've done it several times successfully.

 

first thing to do is make your image available online. upload it somewhere, like http://www.imageshack.us/ for example. if you uploaded it in imageshack, get the direct link of the image and paste it on your browser.

 

here is a sample image i uploaded so you can test it yourself in the next steps: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/404.png

 

once its loaded in your browser, drag your mouse across the image so the whole image gets selected or highlighted (it would turn dark to indicate that it is successfully highlighted/selected). don't miss that part.

 

then while it is selected/highlighted, right-click your mouse over it, then from the menu which appears, choose COPY.

 

go to your GMAIL account, then COMPOSE MAIL. use RICH FORMATTING instead of PLAIN TEXT. then press CTRL-V to paste the copied image in your message body. the image will then show and appear embedded. fill out the recipients of your email, then send away!

 

of course, your recipients should be online to be able to view the image (in GMAIL, they should choose to DISPLAY IMAGES BELOW when they receive your email with embedded image).

 

if you doubt it, test it first. if you cant replicate what i've done PM me with your GMAIL address, and i'll send you an embedded image as proof myself

 

post your results below. btw, it will not appear as an attachment as it will directly access the online image from where you uploaded it when recipient views your email with embedded image.

plenoptic's advice is what you should follow, shadowx. dont even risk posting your referral link (even in the non-credits forums) since it will simply be removed, and you get warned as a result.also, since you're a hosted member already, you can simply make a page for that in your site, and post your referral link there in case visitors who pass by your site would be interested. but here in the forums, it would be frowned at. we would not want to allow it since then the forums would be overrun by people who would come here and post the same kind of links as yours (SPAM in short).

be strong, opaque. and to derek's family as well. i fervently hope and pray he can get pass through all this and have a normal and longer life ahead. we share your emotions, opaque, and we wish every ounce of hope is not lost on your friend, and that he may well recover still. keep the faith.

Unless I'm greatly mistaken, black holes have never been proven to exist - they are still just a theory. Perhaps that another theory, such as the concept of dark matter, would better explain what we had for decades considered to be the workings of black holes.

 

as we imagine black holes to be (trapping everything in it, including light), it is still mostly a theory. BUT, it is possible (at least again, in theory) to "recreate" black holes -- here on earth. it technically is an electronic black hole which can trap electrons in it forever (as opposed to gravity black holes). yet we can still be all safe in knowing that it will not swallow up our planet and all of us in it since other particles and light would still pass through it. or are we?

 

things you need for a home-made black hole: a Van de Graaf generator, a metallic sphere and a supply of electrons. wanna try?

 

tomorrow's headlines: "A Black Hole Swallowed My Planet!"... yet there will be no one left to read it since it would take an hour at best before earth is gone and replaced with a hole in space and time . heheheü freaky.

i would bet the ancient egyptians used papyrus!

 

seriously, here's a more extensive history of toilet paper and its use throughout the ages.

now, we'll have less to wonder about it.

merged three other treasuretrooper thread here.

for chatz' attention: your latest warning (now at 40%) was for this post here as given by moderator rejected:

http://forums.xisto.com/topic/39092-cheating-is-it-a-game-what-should-you-do-if-you-cheated-on/

 

when a Xisto staff put quotes in your posts due to plagiarized content, you will automatically receive credits deductions for the text placed in quotes. this is how the hosting credit system goes to recalculate your credits.

 

you should check the warning levels in your profile:

http://forums.xisto.com/user/26695-chatz/

 

only admins, mods, and you personally can see the warning levels. click on the warning level link [40% in your case] to see ALL previous related warnings.

 

just a friendly advice: reform your ways and stop from copying contents from other sites and sources then posting them in Xisto without proper quotes/acknowledgement. next time an admin or moderator catches your plagiarized posts, it may be the last time (along with your hosting).

hmmn... this thread gives admins and mods the idea WHO to monitor from hereon. kidding aside, that was a problem before when EDIT does not adjust the credits earned after every use. nowadays, it is safer to use the edit button without the system worrying about the actual credits earned with every post.other attempts to this effect have been tried by other members. they still continue to do so by posting COPIED CONTENT and spamming the forums. but they will only temporarily enjoy the credits they earned by cheating. several hosted members have been SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY because of repeated attempts to cheat the system by posting SPAM/PLAGIARIZED CONTENT. any other attempts of course will be meted with appropriate action. :)in short, cheating the hosting credits system simply "does not pay". and since the query has been answered, this will be closed. if thread starter, or any other member deem it to be opened for further discussion, please PM any mod to reopen it.

this thread is going nowhere but a bunch of copied content. closed.

let me be the first to welcome you at Xisto. check the Xisto README link in my sig below for further info about the forums (ie, rules & TOS) and the hosting details you may need when you get approved for hosting with us. :Pand hope to see you actively participating in our discussions as much as you can. your knowledge in the web skills you enumerated above can be useful for our members experiencing problems related to them. no pressure though! enjoy your stay with Xisto!

what is the exact error that you received? if you just clicked on your feeds link and try to view them via your browser, it would seem garbled or you'd otherwise simply be viewing the code. that is because you would still need the feed to be parsed properly so you can view it properly. thus you will find that a feed tool like the google reader would work okay since it is equipped to parse the feed correctly.

 

the feed link is not intended to be clicked for direct browser viewing anyway. if it works for your feed-tool, then you would need not worry much.

for the sake of others, this is Chat'z PLAGIARIZED CONTENT: here.

what do you guys think?

and chatz, if you are not happy with the rules, is it an excuse to VIOLATE it and CHEAT the HOSTING CREDITS SYSTEM here in Xisto by not properly quoting COPIED CONTENT?

and Xisto is as safe as the member's uploaded scripts are, and how secure a member keep his/her Xisto hosting account login details. i may be the OLDEST active member here aside from admin opaque (check my joining date) and it is not Xisto which is the problem which i see when a member gets hacked... it's how insecure their scripts are, and how careless they are with their login details.

and i'm HAPPY with the rules. you are not? try PAID hosting then.

ZUNE is not that quite unique. top link on google search for ZUNE is a brazilian jeans brand. hope microsoft did their research for the brand name first (oh, microsofters do use google? ), or perhaps they can buy it from the brazilian trademark owner for lots of cash (much cheaper than a lengthy court battle, methinks... if they really want to retaine ZUNE)
