I have found a very simple php code to rotate the logos, like the one used by webmasters to rotate the ads on the top of the pages. It has a 'ad.txt' and a php code, the ads are coded with <a href> in the AD.TXT and then the php code randomly picks one of them and displays them for the time selected. It's also seo friendly and won't give the Google Spider/Crawler Bots any headaches Here is the code for the ad.txt - <a href="Xisto.com/forums/images/logo1.png" target="_top" > <img src="Xisto.com/forums/images/logo1.png" width="468" height="60" alt="null" border="0"></a>~<a href="Xisto.com/forums/images/logo1.png" target="_top" ><img src="Xisto.com/forums/images/logo1.png" width="468" height="60" alt="Xisto Logo" border="0"></a>~<a href="Xisto.com/forums/images/logo1.png" target="_top" ><img src="Xisto.com/forums/images/logo1.png" width="468" height="60" alt="null" border="0"></a>~<a href="Xisto.com/forums/images/logo1.png" target="_top" ><img src="Xisto.com/forums/images/logo1.png" width="468" height="60" alt="Xisto Logo"></a> and the PHP code for rotating code - <center><?php$fcontents = join ('', file ('ads.txt'));$s_con = split("~",$fcontents);$banner_no = rand(0,(count($s_con)-1));echo $s_con[$banner_no];?></center>and where in the file where the logo is grabbed, put this instead include 'ad_rotator.php';. It's as simple as that! Almost all browsers support PHP, so if it is in PHP then everyone can view the banners. Contrariwise, if we use flash to make the banner, some browsers don't support it, or it isn't installed or it has been turned off in the settings and flash can also crash your browser and PHP is more lightweight than flash, flash also takes more memory. There are many more reasons... i'm just too lazy to point them out

Hmmm... I haven't seen anything like that before... and how are you exactly going to have it say new posts? Through a IPB API or something? IF you can do that, it will the greatest thing EVER! And maybe you can include myCENT updates and post updates... so it says 'Deadmad7 has posted in the Topic [i][url="http://forums.xisto.com/topic/72205-official-Xisto-irc-resolved-a-whole-new-way-to-get-help-and-chat/ Xisto Irc[/url][/i] or 'Deadmad7 has earned 0.43 myCENTS in the last 5 hours.' Something like that would be really great -- something the forum doesn't have yet.. it already has a SHOUTROOM, sounds when posting, and you can look in the forum for new posts. So, if you could include things like that.. you can become UNIQUE and people would rather use the IRC and they have reason to use it. For now, you're doing a great job I just hope you can start the trivia soon enough! You don't even have to have Pidgin for IRC, just open up OPERA then go into a irc link and it has a built-in awesome IRC client! It's better than most IRC clients I have seen and it really works and it doesn't even slow down your browsing. ^^^Wd, you said it better than anyone can!!

Sure they'll blend... they are all blue and so the forum. And I think a banner rotator will be splendid idea!

Well, isn't that a bit obvious here? Xisto is a tech forum and its filled with only techies, while Xisto has know-it-alls! Hmmm... seems like its time to start a Xisto account!

So true, people everywhere always stereotype... like if your african american they think you are good at playing basketball, if you are a muslim that you have terrorist connections somewhere or if your american they think you stuff your face with burgers and hotdogs 24/7 at McDonalds... oh wait.. the last is true LOL

I agree with rpg... its not like you have to read them or anything... if you don't want them do what Simpleton said and - them away. It's actually a kind of good thing to have... if you post in your twitter about your updates you don't have to update again in Xisto.

Hmmm... you have a house in Russia? I thought your house burned down somewhere in the US. And i don't think there are that much thieves there... they just go to where the copper is first YOU don't need computers in your car but I would really like one, especially to drive for me when i'm tried and not letting me drive when i'm drunk! EDIT: ok... just realized that there is a warsaw in indiana... LOL

DUDE! Your family is LOADED! You must be really, really rich... and seems like everybody in your family has a luxury car.. and who drives the Mercedes? I rarely see one of these here... most luxury cars are from Ferrari and Porsche. You seem to know a awful lot about cars, are you a engineer or something? or just a car enthusiast? But I have noticed that hybrid cars are usually small and most are stylish but they all look the same. It's great what they do but I don't want one.. they are too much of a pain to be driving with.

If you were breaking the rules -- your would have got a warning already but its good because they reappeared -- that means that a moderator had to approve them to show up. The myCENTS have been gone for months now, if you want hosting sooner then that you can add funds through your PayPal account. They should start working any week now... Have fun waiting

Sorry to enter this topic late, but here is what i do. I just go to Run and then Msconfig. Click on the Startup tab and disable all startups. Download CCleaner (from using google) and install it. Open it up and clean up all your registry functions and the browser cache and history (it has settings for all of them). Next go to startup tab in Ccleaner and enable the things that you want and don't enable the rest. Restart your pc and it should work good now... contrariwise you can disable the startups one by one to find out which one is slowing your pc and keep the rest.

Yes... that IS why we kill cows, pigs , fish, chicken and all the other animals we eat... to simply eat them, they don't have to taste good really. It is a mode of survival, we eat other animals to simply continue our existence, it's a part of the primitive brain. Humans WILL do ANYTHING if they have to survive in extreme conditions... your mind might not but your body will move on its on.

Hey! Your back Nice signature and great effects. I don't know why you are all unhappy with the results, it looks terrific! Though, you could always make improve to your work. But it seems like you could clear up something things like the render is not blending with the bright background because it is a dark render and the line thing that comes from the middle to the right... what the heck is that? Otherwise you could have made more of those and placed them! Love the numbers though! Great work!

Wow.. If you have pieces of paper scattered all over the place, why would someone like you have/want a todo list? I know my brother, he has 3 year papers all over the bed, table and some on the floor. And never writes a schedule, just keeps it in his memory... and he doesn't want to spend $.99 for a iPhone App .

Ok... Now I realized that I had to improve on these otherwise I might get spammed on LOL I just felt like a idiot after posting these DUMB standards. Here is how you really should do it. Maximum number of images users in this group can add to their signature - 3 Maximum dimensions of images users in this group can use in their signature - Max Width (px): x Max Height (px): - 400 x 400 / COMMON SENSE Maximum number of urls users in this group can add to their signature - 5 (no advertisements though and unlimited ks links if possible ) Maximum number of lines users in this group can use in their signature -]12 LOL, why are you so rude all of a sudden? Did you mom win over the router? Anyways, he just trying to kind by offering to suggest which signature limits you would like... you should be grateful he is asking you atleast and think positive, he might use the limits you give, or mine Okay... I agree that is a bit awkward but while they have gotten 'GURU' we have gotten (we = members) 'Contributors' added to our title. But I wish it could be edited to just Contributors or Knowledge Contributors (is that too long? maybe Kontributors? get it ? knowledge + contributors = kontributors ) I don't know about you but I have got ALL my support tickets answered within a one or two days at max. And it goes into pending so i can keep it open or close it if I want. If you have something put it into 'HIGH' or 'CRITICAL' because those get answered quickly. I think so too OpaQue, I think you should REDUCE the power of Buffalohelp a bit and add little more privileges to MODERATORS who actually LOGIN more. And also create something called 'Super Moderator' which is basically a ADMIN but with a little bit less privileges (and maybe demote BH to super mod and make SM a super mod too). And I don't really see 'most' people suspended here, in the half-year I have been here, this is the first instance I have ever since a person stopped from posting. I think you are just exaggerating alittle.. sure, they could have been more but remember 6 months is a long time. Okay... YOU have to chill down a bit here dude, OpaQue is cool as can be here... you are getting mad not OpaQue. You should just calm down and argue it out. But I do think what you are saying/doing (which is talking it out peacefully) is GREAT and I really want the truth too. OpaQue. I think what Sky is saying is really TRUE, you might not admit it but this forum is going... down and we are the only thing keeping it alive us the members or 'loyal members' like the new trend is calling it. Sky, NOBODY is saying GOODBYE here, CALM DOWN. Nobody has ever got banned here and nobody is banning anybody.. and ANWII didn't get BANNED... he just can't post for awhile. If you get banned, then talk sh*t about the forum all you want.. because then you have right. Also, Stop being p*ssed off! its not like if you say 'bullsh*t' people are going to LISTEN to you more.

I'm sorry you had to come back now, in the heat of things.. You could have been lucky if you came back a few more days later, when I HOPE it will finally get over... which it probably it won't because Anwiii is making a 'webpage' or more a 'hatepage' about Buffalohelp. He sure does seem pissed off about the warnings and everything. And why should they BE AFRAID to state their opinions? It's literally freedom of speech and each one of them 'think' that they have the better side/that they are right. I believe that that both of them are right/wrong and both have them have made mistakes but im sure they won't admit it yet... not until everything blows up, then they will understand.

Wow... you really are going hardcore with this anwiii. Well, its your choice if you want something like that. The least you can do is make at least a few interesting points there And what are the 'rank high in google' tips for? Because I have a few here if anyone wants them

Wait.. does that mean the Firefox is older than Netscape and that Netscape was branched off of firefox? I thought Netscape was one of the oldest browsers after Mosaic. I've the same problem now, except that I click 'POST' and it redirects it to the page and my post is lost. Then, I go back and post it again but it doesn't let me post. I tried opening up the thread in Opera and Chrome and posted it but it is the same... the only way it works again is clearing my COOKIES (using the link in the footer of the forum) and logging in again. With my knowledge, I think something is haywire in the forum cache system.

I don't know about the other member's decision but I feel that they should be a medium amount of things in the signature... NOT to much and NOT to little. We should decide this upon as a FORUM COMMUNITY and NOT have anymore fights and battles. Here is my suggestion: Maximum number of images users in this group can add to their signature - 2 Maximum dimensions of images users in this group can use in their signature - Max Width (px): x Max Height (px): - 300 x 300 Maximum number of urls users in this group can add to their signature - 3 Maximum number of lines users in this group can use in their signature - 6 This might not be a BIG improvement to the standards that are already there but I feel that this is MORE than enough for putting a signature, your site name, computer specs. ,etc. and it could solve everyone's problem

Woohoo! Thanks for taking my suggestion! Haha... I feel proud

Wow... Thats really harsh don't you think Buffalohelp? I think Anwiii said is totally right. I agree 100% with Anwiii. You shouldn't make people scared of you by banning and giving them warnings and stuff. I think your are just abusing the admin power now... and that's not right. Anwiii didn't say anything that bad, he was saying that you should give my permissions to the users and that loyal users should have more power in the forum. A spammer rarely comes into a forum, and what if the spammer puts links in the signature? Then what are Moderators and Admins for? They can ban and give warnings for THE SPAMMERS not the LOYAL MEMBERS who question YOU. Now, you made everyone scared to post in this thread because you may give them a warning for standing up to a admin. If you want give me a warning too and give one for all the other members who stand up, then you can ban everyone and become happy.
