I think I hate you for letting me know about this... I have better things to do with my time, you know... Thanks for the link

Dennis, I use Evolution and Thunderbird (since you're talking about Windows only, scratch Evolution from the list, it's Unix only). I like thunderbird a lot. What exactly are you looking for in an IMAP client that any of those don't have to offer?

Arvind, I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do. Tell me if this is it: People are viewing a website (any website) and they go to their bookmarks menu and select the entry for your MT/WP tabs. You want that the MT/WP tabs appear in a new frame on the left of the browser and you want the page they were viewing to stay on the right frame. Did I get it right?

Well, since some ISPs here in Portugal impose some traffic limits, I guess it would interest me if TCH could place my account in a server located in Portugal. For instance, my previous ISP (Netcabo, the biggest in portugal) only allows their clients 20 gigs of national traffic and 1 gig of international traffic - of course I could use more but I had to pay the excess. This would be interesting for resellers, at least here in Portugal, since having the servers located here would translate into national traffic for their clients.

I tried changing the post before you read it but I was too slow Well, I investigated a bit about this subject and it appears that this is only possible with IE. At least, every script I found was made for IE and I didn't find anything that would even mention other browsers.

Looks like I was a bit slow editing my previous post Read the second "Edit"

Thomas, if a page can be bookmarked by simply clicking on a link, then it means the bookmark can be created automatically without any user intervention. Why? Simple: the only way you can make a link as you described is by means of a JavaScript function that gets called when the link is clicked. But any JavaScript function can be called at any time, without any user intervention. By the way, the "Press CTRL+D to bookmark us" doesn't need a script. It's the commonly used key combination to bookmark a web site in a web browser, so if you're wasting your time/space/bandwidth with a script for that, get rid of it Edit: I really have to slow down a bit when reading the forums... Thomas, after a second reading of your post above, I think I didn't get the picture of what you want the first time. You want a link that opens up the favorites/bookmarks if people click it? But that already exists, it's the CTRL+D thingy you mentioned... But you already said that's not what you want... You know, I don't think I got it this time either... Edit #2: Just to make it clear: I know the CTRL+D is not a link but it's the only "standard" shortcut I know of to open the bookmarks dialog... Which makes me think: I got it this time: what you want is a link that, when clicked, does exactly what CTRL+D does, right? Did I get it right this time? Do I get the bicycle? Man, I need to sleep...

I couldn't agree more, Jim!

Panayiotis, I have had some issues with character encoding in the past myself but I never figured out what was wrong. The server is sending you the page contents encoded in ISO-8859-1, that's how it is configured, unless a script changes the default encoding. If your browser understands that encoding, you should be fine. And when you post a message, you're sending information to the server so your browser will need to tell the server which character encoding it is using, so the server knows how to handle the characters. You seem to have everything set up just fine, so I'm not sure what this could be. Perhaps the forum software is not able to use character sets other than ISO-8859-1? Or maybe the server is the one that can't handle those? This is the part I never figured out when I had a similar problem. I'm sorry I can't help you more but I have moved your post to a more appropriate forum, so more people with the knowledge will look at it and perhaps someone will know the answer.

Glad you got it working

I don't think that is possible, Thomas. The possibility for someone to force you to bookmark their website without your confirmation can be considered a violation of privacy so Mozilla/Netscape/Firefox/Opera/Safari/<insert any other decent browsers here> always ask the user first if they really want to bookmark that page. But you never know what's floating around Hotscripts.com

I agree with Bruce (although I do think an integrated pop-up blocker is better than a stand-alone program but yeah, they're lagging behind everyone else on that matter). If they are really serious about updating IE, then they should update IE's standards support, especially regarding CSS and correct the nasty bugs it has (regarding CSS rendering, I mean).

Well, if you're absolutely sure that you uploaded the script to the correct path... err... ... Have you checked to see if the script filename begins with an uppercase character? Like Calcium39.pl? I can't thinkof anything else...

OH, by the way, here's the link to the page about why not to use IE Jim mentioned. Any user who accesses my site using IE will be redirected to that page. You may also want to visit this other page I found out today: BrowseHappy.com

But IE is also outdated. Just look at the bunch of features that have become standard in the two other major browsers (Opera and Mozilla/Firefox) which IE still lacks: integrated popup blocking (I wouldn't even call it a pop-up blocker, it just works the way you want it to instead of working the way spammers want to but that's a more technical matter), tabbed browsing, support for more W3 standards, no stupid vulnerabilities... Seriously, I think IE is really outdated mostly because of its lack of support for some CSS stuff. I can understand that they couldn't get it all done in time for launching IE6 with WinXP but there's no excuse for not updating IE with improved support for standards. Even worse is that MS doesn't seem to want to update IE until the release of its next version, which will only be available with the next version of Windows - meaning that if you want to use the next version of IE (not that I see any reason for that but there are strange folks in this world j/k ), you'll have to upgrade Windows too, which I'm sure will also mean upgrading your computer... I also heard that due to the massive migration away from IE of lately, MS has been thinking about releasing IE7 before the next version of Windows but the guys from Redmond haven't decided yet (at least not that I know of - I've been away for a few days). So IMHO, the big problem is not just the fact that IE's latest version is outdated. The big problem is what Microsof is planning for their browser.

Hi. You can use phpMyAdmin to make a backup copy of the database, create a new one (with a different name, as you said) and load the backup into the new one. In phpMyAdmin, click the database name and select the "export" tab on the top. Then select all the tables you want to backup (all of them, if you want an exact copy) and export them to a file. Then create the new database, go to the SQL tab and upload the backup file. At the end, you should have a perfect copy of the original database.

Hi Mav. Sorry but I don't think there's such an option for that, unless you want to change the code yourself. And there's a reason to it: if people signed up and started receiving unsolicited e-mails, they could acuse you of spamming them, which wouldn't be good. So if you do make the necessary changes to make it work the way you want, you should warn people about it on the terms and conditions of use they have to agree to when they sign up. Oh, by the way, I'm moving this to a more appropriate forum.

Hi. The server is capable of running multiple scripts at once. As for the server load, a script that takes 1 second to execute is not much by itself, unless your game will be played by a lot (hundreds or thousands) of visitors. I'd say to give it a try and carefully monitor the server load while your game gets more players. This is not the best option, though, since a shared server (Assuming you're on a shared server) is used by more people and the loads could get higher if someone else is also using resource intensive web applications. If possible, implement a maximum number of players (perhaps based on what you see from the server loads while people are playing).

You have two ways to do that: 1 - Install the other oprating systems you want. For that, I'd suggest using a virtual machine like VMWare - it allows you to install multiple operating systems on top of your existing one. It's great, I use it all the time when I need to develop Flash animations, because Flash is a Windows/Mac product and I use Linux as my working OS. 2 - Go to browsercam. I have never used this personally but I think it's your best shot if for some reason you can't install the other operating systems in your computer.

Just for the record, ImageMagik's binaries should be inside "/usr/local/bin". Since Typo3 says it treid that path, I'm assuming something is wrong with ImageMagik.

Andy, ImageMagik should be working without any problems. Submit a help desk ticket so the techs take a look at the problem.

Moving to a more appropriate forum for organization.

Thanks, Bruce. That's what I thought. But perhaps that reporter meant "a Portuguese newspapaer", since it's an international news. Well, who cares. I just want to buy a donkey, anyway

You'd need shell access to do that and since shared accounts on TCH have no shell access, you won't be able to do that directly. However, you can submit a help desk ticket (link at the top of the forums pages) and ask that the tech staff creates the link for you.

LOL I'm convinced, I'm getting a donkey Strange I didn't hear about that, though. It was here in Portugal. By the way, when someone says "local newspaper", do they mean local as in "a newspaper from that small town" or do they mean local as in "a newspaper from the country we're talking about"? I always thought it means "from that small town" but "Jornal de Notícias" is one of the most important (and biggest) newspapers in Portugal...
