Yes, as Fury told its the router's problem, it is blocking the IP address and shows 403 error. As told check the IP on proxy website or check from external source (other PC). And to check if ports are forwarded use this website. To solve the problem of dynamic IP get no-ip subdomain and install their software to update the latest IP to the sub domain. By the way I would like to ask a question. My router administration control panel doesn't allow to specify port forward on individual ports, there is only DMZ host, which opens all the ports. And I am too the in same problem, the router blocks the IP, so I have to use proxy website to check the website online. I have specified my internal static IP for the DMZ host. Since all ports are open, there is lot of risk of attacks. I am using good firewall. So are the firewalls enough or are there any other loop holes which DMZ leaves open?

Hey there, thats a great idea, I never thought about it. Using email clients. Also you gave a hint on using other services, like yahoo or msn, I will check them if they can whitelist. Thanks.

Clicking the "X" button does remove it from the spam folder, but only for that email address. But the contact form has new visitors, with new email addresses each time. Anyway it only takes a second to click it. Also to solve the problem of these mails mixing with spam, I use search in spam box. The form has a common subject like "Email from ", so when I search for it I get all mails sent by the form, then I just select all and move to inbox.To solve it permanently, I was thinking if I can buy a separate IP address for the website. I think it would solve the problem. But, I have no idea how this thing works. Is it possible?

Yes, you are right, Awstats gives exaggerating stats. So much of difference, that at first I doubted on analytics if its doing its job or not. As for the code, I am now using a simple PHP include to put the analytics code on all pages of the website.

Creating text images? Do you want to create text images for banners and layout buttons etc? I think thats a bad idea. Because, it needs lot of PHP processing to create the images every time the page loads. If the the layout is same, then it may be actually easier to edit the images in inkscape and change the text in the editor. Do you meant creating those images only one time and use those images on web page? Even then you won't get the quality you would get manually creating it. Anyway, you can create images in PHP using PHP GD Library. I havent tried it much yet, I am still learning. You can check out this link. It basically explains the basics of creating graphs, you can learn from it to create whatever you want.

The links turn bright blue after moving to other pages. That needs some work as its too harsh on eyes. Errors? Since the website's been up for many years, I don't think there are any errors. And if you still think there are some, then you may consider hiring a proof reader.

Hello, I have a contact form which sends form data using php "mail" function. The problem is that the mails sent through the gamma.xisto.com always end up in spam folder. I tried to filter messages, but I can't, because the "senders email" is set as the email which the user enters. I want to keep this way only. Here is the email headers which I am using: $headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" .'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();@mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers); As I told, I want to keep the "From" email the one which user enters. My question is, how do I whitelist gamma.xisto.com.This appears as "mailed by" as seen in the screenshot: There is no option to in the filter settings to filter by "mailed-by" value. I haven't explored much into gmail's features. So if there is a way to white list that and send to inbox, please let me know. Thanks

I did quit gaming. I used to play WOW for 2-3 hours a day. But I don't play that anymore. My interest has shifted from playing games to other things. A person can become addicted to something, only when there are no other things, which is more interesting than the thing he is addicted to. I have been a gamer and not game developer. So it was easier for me to quit. Even though I do play some when I get time, but only casually, not like a hardcore gamer.

Firefox on Chrome OS? I don't know. But it may happen. By the way, we may also see Internet explorer on chrome! Also Microsoft has told about Gazelle. Its own OS in this genre. Unlike Chrome which runs each tab as separate process, gazelle will run each element on the page as separate process. Microsoft says that, this will increase security and reliability. But, wait this is all new genre of apps coming out. I would also like to see Opera OS, Firefox OS soon

Thanks yordan, akashi, Quatrux. I thought there may be one or two such utilities, but those were so many. I tried each one of them. And I would like to give a sort of review as akashi told. Also I would later tell the one I chose for my purpose. Yes yordan, its better to edit/annotate the screenshot too before saving the image. That is better idea. I never knew Irfanview too had built-in screenshot feature. Very handy, but lacks the features of annotating. But its perfect for what it is, a viewer. By the way, Quatrux, your idea is great, just copy pasting and using the monster Gimp to edit to our hearts content. But its just too much for something as simple as annotating and cropping. Ok, so here are the three utilities which I think are the best: 1) JetScreenshot: (The quickest way, Free); The quickest and most efficient way to take and edit screenshots. Moreover its free. You can literally take a screenie, crop it, add some text, upload and get the link in 10 seconds or more. It has the minimum required drawing tools to edit the screenshot and get the job done. It allows you to annotate even before taking screenshot. The software has built-in ftp upload feature, and their server even hosts the images for free. All these great features take a small watermark on the end product. It seems there is no way to remove the watermark, as they don't have a paid version. I would use this one to help my buddies in troubleshooting sessions. Download Page 2) FastStone Capture 5.3: (Feature rich, Free for personal use); akashi you were using a full fledged screenshot utility as a viewer. It has nice drop shadow effects for the pencil, boxes, circles drawn. Opacity can be adjusted for the elements drawn. It also has polygonal lasso tool to custom cut out the screenshot. It doesn't put any watermarks on the final image. So if you want more professional screenie this program is the best. Note, that I am mentioning the version 5.3 (free for personal use), the newer version comes as trial. Download Page 3) Gadwin PrintScreen Pro: (Full fledged screenshot editor, Paid); This is the ultimate tool out there. It has extra features like airbrush, different types call outs, many image effects. This one costs, there is also a free version. I am not sure if that too offers all these features. If anybody is interested they can check the official website. Download Page I am now using faststone capture for making my tutorial snaps. Its feature rich and its free. Hope this review helps people who visit this page in search of a screnshot utility.

I need to take some screenshots for making some tutorials. Currently I have to manually take screenshot and save it to jpg (using a utility to do that), and then I am opening it on GIMP, cropping it, adding text. I need to speed up this process.Do you know of any utility which after pressing a shortcut key, puts a selection tool on the screen, and when I drag a selection, it immediately saves that selection to jpg and opens a editor with text tools and then save it finally? I need such a utility even if its a paid one. Any one have come across such a program?Thanks

Command line, you confused me yordan. I suppose you are talking about accessing/editing file through command line? I have no idea using this on server, in fact I am searching for some articles on shell access to set up my chat bot on server. turbopowerdmaxsteel, you wouldn't need shell access if its just file uploads and downloads. Anyway Xisto gives you shell access. And yes, when you are sure that you have reliable good speed internet access both at home and office, then it would be much more easier to share files this way. There are many PHP scripts (I think you are going the linux way as you told) which have can do things you mentioned. Most of them are paid scripts, you can have a look at the features to see if this is what you wanted: If paying is not an option, then you can go for free scripts, but they wouldn't offer all the features the paid ones have. At least I don't know of any such available for free. My suggestion is if you can manage the old files into folders systematically, kind of like CVS then you can use the free ones with basic functionality. Do let me know what you have in mind. I would be glad to help you.

Yes, it really annoys when we get to see spam again and again. I vote for the second option. Even though it would add a little burden to go through the posts and approve/delete, but I suppose its better than leaving the forum open and keeping an eye on each of the posts manually.IPB has a "Forum Subscription" Option, it would be nice to have "Forum Ignore" option to, where we as members can only view certain forums and disable the rest. Since this a very large forum, having this type of feature would help us to see only interestng things here, which we would love to read and post to.

No, you would never need personalized training to learn web development,designing. In fact almost all of the web developers are self taught. Also, you would gain more knowledge and experience if you learn on your own. In training centers they only teach you the basics, which you can easily learn on your own and then leave you there. Web development is not a hard core language, there are many ways to get a job done. Its the creativity applied with knowledge which will help you, like blogging which you are doing now. You can start from here: http://www.w3schools.com/ As you learn the basics you will uncover many other useful websites on the web. And if you need any help or get stuck somewhere, you can always fall back on trap. There are many helpful members here who would gladly help you out.

Apart from these things there are are some other things which would make gmail as the best service.You can for instance use gmail + gears to use it like an email client. There are three modes, 1) One is the online mode as we usually access, 2) The second one is offline mode, which downloads everything (+attachments), so even if you plug out the internet connection you can still browse the mails, 3) The third one is Flanky mode, where you always browse in offline mode and the gmails periodically syncs online whenever the connection is available.

That was simple, thanks. I was thinking, I would need to create a separate dedicated partition for that like ubuntu. I have been to that dialog box many times but never cared about the pagefile. So, before the whole page file was on C drive with around 2-4 GB. Now I have disabled that on C drive and set a system managed size in another drive. It seems fine isn't it? I have 2 GB ram, so 2.5 times is 5 GB. Should I set it to 5 GB or leave it to system managed size?

I agree with fermin. Even though I am not worried about spyware or malware as there is adequate protection in my system, but I am more reluctant to use my mobile number or may be even the friends number for sending messages. Usually people send messages to his/her own mobile to test if it works or not. And since the services are free, people try sending to different numbers to see if it works. This way these service providers collect huge number of mobile numbers, which can be misused for spamming.And yes, our own mobile service providers website are a bit safer, but usually not many of the mobile operators provide free sms service on internet. So who get the chance are lucky.

I didn't get that. Are you talking about the pagefile which usually resides in operating system drive? If so how can we move that to another drive? If it really helps prevent the degradation of hardrive, then I will do it too. i only know of swap in ubuntu where we need to specify the size of swap during installation.

Well same thing here, but as far as I know it was there in previous system. Now, it seems they have removed that. So it no longer holds any value by being denoted as hosted or not hosted.

Yes the layout of the billing page appears to be disfigured. May be there is some work going on behind it. Lets wait, hopefully it would be rectified soon and you can then get hosting.

Yes its not a free. "Tor Button" plugin for firefox can be used to keep anonymity. By default it uses privoxy network for proxying. But one thing is that, while using TOR, we are accessing net through somebody else's PC and the same happens, ie somebody may use our PC's for doing illegal activity which would mean that our PC will be under scanner.

Yes, but those two were the main reason I switched my mailing account to gmail. Yes, there are tons of other features, especially the labs where we can tweak the gmail interface a lot. And then they keep on adding even more features every now and then. And above all, I can easily access other google products with my gmail account.

Although I have not been much of a fan of Michael Jackson, but I liked his moves especially the moonwalk which he performed so well. Its heartening to hear that he left at such a young age. He was only 50. May the soul rest in peace.I guess the only other forum where you could have posted is ünder "Life Talk". Adding a Latest News forum would be a nice idea.

Ad free, free IMAP, was the reason I switched to gmail. Previously I had only one email which I used both for IM and mailing. And for IM, yahoo and msn are the best. Later I created more email accounts used for specific purposes. And hence, now I us gmail for mailing and yahoo for Instant Messaging with friends.

Try making your site interactive, rewarding members for their contributions. It doesnt necessarily need to be monetary. I have seen your forum and there are quite a good number of interesting discussions. You can conduct contests, which members can participate. Try to keep them relevant to the forums. Rather than just making one way tutorials, make them engaging. At the end of the articles, put some open minded questions about the topics so that members have something to say about the topic.At the end I would like to say that, its easy to become Jack of all trades, but takes a lot of effort to become master of one.
