  1. Notifications count works for me (i.e. it resets properly) and when the fast reply loses focus the text does not disappear on me. Not really sure what is it that is going on on your end, but i'll do a bit of testing to try and figure it out. I haven't tried updating the status, let alone posting any status, but i'll try to test that too. Changing status from index page confirmed as not working.
  2. For me twitter is overrated, but how does one force another to follow you or others? And why was it so significant that the twitter administrators had to reset everyone's followers? I'm not sure what the Turkish "cracker" did, but if the administrators were the ones that did the reseting, then i can't say that twitter was hacked.
  3. I wouldn't call this a bug; it seems built in. Clicking on the number on the drop-down takes you to the notifications manager, therefore implying that it is built in. I'm not really sure why there are two different "notifications," but the second one (the one on the drop-down) requires personal interaction and management.
  4. Python is supported on the free hosting accounts, so it should also be supported for the paid hosting. And if it is anything like the free hosting accounts, then Python would be ran as CGI. If it were done through mod_python, then i would have tried using Python on my account. Some Python CMSs should work either way, so there may not be much of a problem if not done through mod_python. I don't have paid hosting, so i don't know how Python is executed on it.
  5. Ever since Facebook had applications (and probably before that; i don't keep much track with facebook like just about every known company seems to be), they were self-contradicting concerning privacy. Anything new now that contradicts the concept of privacy is only to be expected. But people will keep on using Facebook and whatever social media they please, though their friends are mostly just a picture with text next to it.
  6. The drop down works for me. Do they still not work for you? If not, try disabling the new toolbar on your end. The toolbar comes from wibiya.com.
  7. Loads about the same for me, only the new toolbar itself is what takes a while to finish loading. But i had to disable it, as it was preventing me from using my keyboard in Opera.
  8. What browser(s) are you noticing this in? I know that DIV elements aren't as strict with boundaries as tables are, and content without spaces will break out of the element's boundary if it is long enough (though images are another story), but the solutions i've mentioned have always worked for me (where supported), so i find it a bit odd that they didn't for you (though i find it more odd that the screenshot you show shows that there is spaces between the text). But i should have mentioned that the CSS property overflow tends to require that the element it is applied to has to have predefined dimensions set to it: a width and or height is to be defined.
  9. You can do so by visiting the Today's active content page (this link can be found in the forum's index page at the bottom above the forum statistics). On that page, near the bottom right, you'll find a drop down list that allows you to adjust the length of time. If you are, however, only looking for the latest content since your last session, then you'll have to click the link that says "View New Content" that is near the upper right part of every page to the right of "kknowledgeSutra Guidelines" and to the left of the RSS feed icon.
  10. For browsers that support word wrap, you can try the following CSS on the parent container: word-wrap: break-word; For those that don't (i.e. Internet Explorer), you can try the following on the child containers: overflow: auto; The former should work without adding an "ugly" scroll bar.
  11. I have modified it to fit the maximum dimensions. If i knew the name of the fonts used in the original Xisto logo, i would design another one with the proper fonts.
  12. I'll post the modified version when ready. (I may edit this post when it is ready.) My design contains two different fonts. I'll admit the second font doesn't do a good job with its "T" in "sutra" (as it tries to connect the letters); but concerning things being harder to read, i do believe a bigger font is always easier to read than incredibly small fonts. Concerning the dots, that may be reduced do to the resizing i have to do, which is about 200 pixels less in width, but i think your complaint deals mostly with the dots that seem to be more independent.
  13. Please take the time to read through this topic, it mentions about myCENTs not updating. Concerning performance, perhaps it is the browser you are using. I'm using Opera and the majority of the forum seems to be working faster than it did with the previous version. Some pages may take a bit longer to load, but now visiting the pages that took me a while to load, they are now loading at decent speeds, so you may want to check them out again. Overall, i like this version better than the previous one as it contains more features, though i do find the posts requiring slightly more effort to follow visually.
  14. I may have missed this, but next to the (intentionally misspelled) words "kknowledgeSutra Guidelines," there is a link called "View New Content." It works similar to today's active content but is located on every page and near the top right.
  15. A little FYI concerning unapproved topics: The today's active content section now informs (shows) us about unapproved topics, so you can expect for your topics to be approved a whole lot quicker, assuming they are worthy of approval.
  16. I would like to make a suggestion: If possible, please move or duplicate the link "Today's active content" currently located in the index page all the way at the bottom, above the forum statistics, to the top, main menu for quicker and easier access. The W3C recommends to have it like this; in other words, the forum design is more inclined to following standards. The reasoning for this is something along the lines of: the designer (developer) should not impose an action that is not implied, and therefore not willingly accepted by the user, upon the user. In other words, "if i want it to open in a new tab or window, i will have it do so [via the right-click menu]." There is no browser feature to counter opening pages in the same page where target="_blank", so simply having it load in the same page by default is more practical.
  17. Here is my entry: I do not know of the fonts used in the actual Xisto logo, so i picked whatever looked good. You can see it in context here.
  18. Windows 7 will run well insofar as you don't bog it down with a lot of programs. I know of a certain laptop that has Windows 7 on it and has similar or better specifications than the one you mention here, but it got bogged down by many programs. I restarted it once and waited for it to load. After about maybe 5 minutes i concluded that it had finished loading (as nothing else appeared to be waiting to appear), until i tried to open up a browser and realized it was taking forever and another icon in the system tray popped up. I'm not exactly sure when your friend bought their laptop or how new it is, but give it time and soon that extra hour will only be wasted on the programs installed on the machine. It seems that it is inevitable for a Windows system to get bogged down by start-up programs.
  19. Depends; if you upgraded from XP, then you would have to reinstall and configure everything. It is also quite possible that the server you were using does not support Windows 7 yet. What server did you install?
  20. I would recommend downloading HijackThis and disabling anything that looks suspicious. Since it happens in both Firefox and Internet Explorer, it seems like you have some kind of protocol sniffer. I haven't had this happen to me, so i can't offer any definite solutions.
  21. It is possible, but it is not something that is suitable for JavaScript. What you desire runs along the same concept of the design pattern known as Model-View-Controller. In this case, the model would be the stats information of each player; the view is what renders the data into something viewable, that is, HTML; the controller is what keeps track of the model and view. The view has to be designed with the model in mind; if the model holds a tree-like structure, the view has to be able to work with tree structures. I think a tree model would fit your needs fine. As new data is added to the model, the view will dynamically adjust and display the data the way it is designed to. Hence you would not need to worry about any extra data added to the model, since the model would be designed to store data in one way, which the view was made to iterate through. JavaScript is a client-side scripting language, therefore the only place fitting for it is the view; it cannot touch on the model, nor can it be part of the controller. Therefore you will need know a server-side scripting language, one that is supported by your web host. Given the site you provide, it seems PHP would be that language. I have no idea of how many others are working with you on the same project, but you'll have to come up with a way for everything to work together. If you're the only one working on this, then though you say you lack programming skill, it would seem that you at least know some PHP. In either case, i would suggest making use of PHP's object oriented programming for this job.
  22. Just mentioning "localhost" implies that you already have a known server set up on your system, probably Apache. Unless you have a firewall blocking access to your server, then your server is already available to the internet through your IP address. Most home ("residential") connections are not suitable for hosting a website and some ISPs may cancel your service for attempting to host your own website (on a residential line). The only reason i can think of for "localhost" not working is either do to your server not running or being misconfigured.If you are looking to migrate what you have on your system over to a web host, you'll have to know how to use a FTP client and know how to back-up and restore a MySQL database.
  23. If you think you are the only one who hates the "noobtubes," then you must have not visited the official MW2 forums. "Noobtubes" do not bother me much, that is, until someone with OMA pro and Danger Close on comes in, or until a "noobtube"-only clan comes in. When they have Danger Close, the blast shield is rendered useless. And when they don't have Danger Close, direct impacts or "noobtube" clans render the blast shield useless. If the blast shield wasn't so underpowered, people would consider it more often, and we would expect to see a decrease in the number of "noobtubers." Personally, i wish the blast shield was about as strong as the Juggernauts ability to withstand explosions. "Noobtube" popularity would certainly decrease; however, so would semtex and frag grenades, et cetera. But that can be done away with by having the blast shield stay the same for everything except "noobtubes."
  24. So i have just finished signing on and noticed the new upgrade. Concerning performance, i have not yet experienced any slow down in forum performance. Concerning any differences of the new upgrade, it seems the "From" information i have no longer stretches out my profile and the profile page looks really nice, and i see staff members now have a report center. It is a bit different then the one we've used in the past, but it is not hard to get used to. I just wish that the active reports warning was more emphasized (what font size is that, 8px, maybe 7px?). And while the theme is really nice, i find the posts slightly harder to follow, in that it requires you to pay slightly bit more attention to detail. Viewing the Topic Summary as i am writing this i find it much easier to follow (though the one who wrote the post is not entirely emphasized). I suppose aside from the little box on the index page ("Recently Added Topics"), we will be using the new portal to keep track of new posts, at least until some modifications are added. When the system comes back on, it should start where it last left off and recalculate and supply the deserved amount. It is the beginning of the month, so i am guessing invoices won't necessarily be a problem.
  25. If you are planning on making a living from this some day, then i would say go with Java. If you are just planning on sticking to personal projects, then i would suggest Python. Personally, i would always pick Python over Java, but you can't always have it your way out in the world.
