  1. If I'm not mistaken, Thunderbird should have done that automatically for you. But if it didn't (which must be the case, otherwise you wouldn't be asking this ), try the link Rob suggested, it explains you how to do it By the way, the reason I recommended Thunderbird is because you'll no longer be vulnerable to all those hundreds of Outlook / Outlook Express viruses If you use Internet Explorer and would like to try a different browser experience (faster, no pop-ups, no pop-up blockers necessary, no viruses getting into your computer, etc) try Mozilla Firefox
  2. Kasey, 0.9.3 is the latest version, so you're up to date, now. As for the link, the problem was that I had a ':' in the end. It's fixed, now
  3. From http://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/press-li...ust/000010.html If you use any of these products, be sure to go to http://www.mozilla.org/ and download the updated versions. PS - Madman, this time I was faster than you!
  4. I agree with Rob. An IMAP connection allows you to change things directly on your mail account, while using an interface of your choice (in your case, Outlook - and I'll take this chance to recommend you switch to Mozilla Thunderbird or some other mail client other than Outlook). That way you can do what you described using Outlook but you'll be affecting the mail folders directly in the server instead of the mail messages you have already downloaded into Outlook
  5. LOL I didn't see that part, yet I have only read the first chapter but found it quite interesting. I'll be reading the rest of the chapters when I have the time. I know a friend who has (I think) Triumph of the Nerds. Guess I'll have to request his couch for three hours, since my DVD player is (still ) region-locked.
  6. Here's an interesting article about MS. It's a rant about Microsoft but an interesting one that provides quite some background about the everybody's favorite company of all times. Go to http://www.euronet.nl/users/frankvw/index.html And on the right, there's a "Rants" column. Click the "Microsoft link.
  7. Great Thumbs Up Let us know how it goes
  8. Make sure that it has Fedora Core 2. It wouldn't be nice to spend money on it only to find out it's not up to date.
  9. Kasey, I'm not into Windows networking stuff anymore. Well, not as much as I used to, anyway I don't think there's much of a difference besides being two different names - if Windows accepts the '$' as a valid character for the share name, that is. Anyway, I'm moving this to a more appropriate forum, so you have more probability of someone finding this post and answering it.
  10. Looks good, Kasey Thumbs Up Carol, I think I heard about that other method but I never tried it. I'll take a look at it. Thanks for the link
  11. Thanks for taking care of it, Rick
  12. Frylock, the PHP manual says that function requires both the GD library and the FreeType library. I know TCH servers have the GD library installed and working with PHP but I'm not sure about the Freetype library. I'll check that for you and post here again when I know the answer.
  13. Well, Flash is kind of tricky to insert into a web page and still have it validate. But it's not impossible I've done it myself on every site I made that uses Flash. Basically, you simply drop the <embed> tag and use only the <object> tag. Then you create a loader flash movie and use it to load the "real" flash movie but still have the hability to stream the file. I'm making it much more confusing than it is, right? Here's the link to the "A List Apart" article where I learned how to do it: http://alistapart.com/articles/flashsatay/
  14. Kasey, is the "embed" tag a valid XHTML tag? I can't find it anywhere as a valid XHTML tag, not even in W3's official XHTML 1.0 Transitional DTD. Perhaps you should look at the <object> tag as a possibility?
  15. Thanks for the confirmation, James
  16. Mike, I forgot to warn you about something important: unfortunately Mambo is huge resource hog and because of that it has been banned from TCH I remember seing WebGUI some time ago but there was something about it that I didn't like. Can't remember what, though. Typo3 is very very powerfull. Probably the most powerfull and customizable CMS I've seen but it's very, very complex and, in my humble opinion, it still has to grow a lot in some aspects. For instance, when I tried it, the instalation tool (adding to the fact that it's overly complicated) wouldn't let me use a password containing non-alphanumeric characters...

    Arvind, don't worry, setting it to update itself every hour shouldn't be a problem at all - unless, of course, you're gathering news feeds from a few thousand websites...
  18. LOL There are some neat acronyms, like GNU, which means "GNU is Not Unix" That's called a recursive acronym. Also, I've seen some dictionaries define "recursive" as "see: recursive" Just kidding That's a definition used by some people when they're trying to explain what recursion is
  19. From your description, I'd say you need to create a custom script for what you want. I'd suggest Hotscripts.com under the "Database tools" category but what you want is such a specific thing, that I don't think you'll find anything there. You basically want a script that fetches information from that flat-file database and outputs it in an HTML table. I don't know which database file format you're using but here's an example script in PHP using a MySQL database: ><?php $db = mysql_connect("localhost", "dbusername", "dbpassword") or die ("Unable to connect to database."); mysql_select_db("dbname, $db) or die ("Unable to select database: ".mysql_error()); $query = "SELECT * FROM table_name"; $result = mysql_query($query, $db) or die("Error while querying the database: " . mysql_error()); $count = mysql_num_rows($result); echo "<table>"; for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) { echo "<tr>"; $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); // $row is now an array containing the following fields: { link1 , fruit, apple, green } echo "<td> </td>"; echo "<td>$row[1]</td>; // $row[1] corresponds to "fruit" echo "</tr>"; } echo "</table>"; ?> Edit: I just thought of something: is your flat-file database exactly the way you described it? I mean, is it a simple text file with one row of information per line? Like so: link1,fruit,apple,green link2,vegetable,carrot,orange link3,fruit,banana,yellow Or are you using a flat-file database engine, like SQLite?
  20. Thomas, FQDN means Fully Qualified Domain Name
  21. Ali, I don't know if this works, it's just a thought that you can try if you want to but I don't guarantee it. AWStats stores the stats files under "/tmp/awstats". You can try to copy those files to the new site, into a directory with the same name. But since the filenames include the domain name, you'll probably have to rename them to include the new domain. Afterwards, just cross your fingers and wait untill the next update...
  22. I know this has to do with DNS. You need to change some records about your domain but I'm not sure how you can do that but I'll move this post to a more appropriate forum so there's more chance someone sees it and answers. Edit: I just thought that you may probably use .htaccess to control what you want but I'm not sure how you'd do it, since htaccess is not my area.
  23. Kevin, then they need to rethink their way of building software The fact of IE providing various languages i s not a valid reason for them to have to provide a patch for each available language. Localization of a software program is a separate thing from it's coding. If MS doesn't know how to do that, they can hire me and I'll teach them The various versions (IE4 throurgh 6.1) can be a reason for a bit of a slowdown but, IMHO, not as much as MS usually takes. As for freeware having no responsability, first we need to clear something up: freeware (Wikipedia definition)is not Free software. It is true that most Free software applications' patches are not backported to previous versions but that's not their goal, either. MS needs to support the products they say they support. The Mozilla Foundation, for example, never said it would support Mozilla versions prior to the current stable version. If you want to keep up to date, you need to use the stable version. It's a bit "selfish" but it's the only way it works. Besides, if you need "official" support from the Mozilla Foundation, you can purchase it, just like you purchase technical support from Microsoft when you buy one of their products or when you extend the initial 90 days of support that come with their products. And like the Mozilla Foundation, there are other companies who provide support for Free software products. No, it's not like Microsoft, which is a business and has to keep running, and no, they don't have all the quality assurance technicians and schemes and rules and blah, blah, blah that Microsoft has. Still, think about where they were when they started, look at where they are now and compare the final results of both Microsoft's and the Mozilla Foundation's products. What I mean with all this is that I don't think having someone saying "we assure you this will work and we assure you we'll patch the security holes in all the previous versions of this software, blah, blah, blah" is going to make me want to use it. I prefer to see with my own eyes what they are capable of and honestly, even with all their talk, support, assurance of this and that, I simply don't trust Microsoft anymore. But I trust the Mozilla Foundation, although they never promissed me anything, never asked for my money in exchange for their products, don't have a quality assurance section, don't release patches for previous versions of their software, etc...
  24. Hi Mike Well, personally, I just hate both PHP-Nuke and Post-Nuke. The cPanel versions are usually outdated but there's not much TCH can do about it, since the cPanel folks are the ones who can upgrade it. I don't know any of the other CMS's you mentioned, except for Mambo, which is probably the best one I've seen so far. Still, none do what I want them to do, so I just decided to create my own CMS and use it for my work. But here's a few sites that you may find usefull: http://www.cmsreview.com http://www.opensourcecms.com http://www.cmsreview.com Good luck with your hunt for a good CMS
  25. Jay, as Rick said, the PHP configuration can't be changed for an individual account. But you shouldn't need register_globals to be ON for the $_SESSION variable to work, because it's a "super global", as they call it in the manual, meaning it's always accessible from anywhere in your script. Besides, register_globals is already turned on on TCH's servers
