Yep, I knew this had been brought up before -> http://www.mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=6038 In that thread, they talk about the IDN vulnerability, as well as the solution mentioned in the page I linked to above. But now I wonder, why is this being brought up again if it had already been solved?... :|

reddwine, they're two different things, as Dick noticed. One thing is your photo, which is visible on your profile only. The other is your avatar, which is your "logo", your icon on the forums. It can be any image that you want to use to represent your identity and is visible on ever one of your posts.

Go here for instructions and downloads. PS - When I went to the page and read the instructions, they seemed familiar. I went to the about:config page and the option they mention is already set to false... wasn't this the solution for a previous problem, also related to IDN?

Well, Brasillian Portuguese is very very different from European Portuguese but I don't think it's a reason for people to be offended. I wouldn't/don't consider them the same language but not because I want to irritate Brasillian guys or don't like them (like many people do) or something like that. It's just that there are so many (big) differences that I don't think it makes sense saying it's just one language. They don't even sound the same. Brasillian Portuguese has evolved from European Portuguese into a language of its own, mostly due to the influence of the many different cultures of people from all over the world who live there (at least that's what I think ).

I bet Google has something related to cell phones in the works and this is one of their ways to get a lot of cell phone numbers as potential users for the upcoming service/product By the way, Paul, you said you speak Portuguese; are you from Portugal or did you learn to speak Portuguese?

From Slashdot:

Cool, another Easter Egg in MS Products Although I always find these things fun, I can't stop wondering what else they can hide in their programs without their users knowing... :|

It was relevant to the thread? How?

Andy, I'm really sorry to hear this.

Sorry to hear about your illness, Liz Hope you get well soon!

LOL :) I just love that smiley!!!

Let's see, I think I'm a dumb user, I have a small (very small, actually, when compared to TCH ) webhosting business, which I run using a TCH reseller account and thus, cPanel/WHM. I don't have many clients but I can tell you for sure that I would not be able to do everything I need to do if it wasn't for cPanel and other software to aid me with the client billing. Also, my personal website, also hosted with TCH, runs on Drupal, which uses MySQL at its heart. It does use a caching system (though I can't remember if I have it active or not, I admit) but then again, it's a well designed system. If your system is supposed to handle big loads but does not use caching and becomes slow due to lots of database accesses, then your system is badly designed and/or badly programmed. As others have said, perhaps all the good reviews (and note that, just like Bill said, there ARE some negative reviews) you saw are there because TCH has earned that position. TCH has an excelent support team, highly skilled tech staff and Bill Kish runs this business in a way that should be an example for many people on this planet. This thread alone should tell you something... you made some negative comments about TCH; if they were true, they would have been accepted but since they're not, TCH's customers themselves are posting here to correct you. And if you give yourself to the trouble of looking through the reviews, you'll see that this is what usually happens when someone complains without reason. Oh, and if you think that managing nearly 200 servers is a task any "regular user" can do just because the servers have cPanel installed, then by all means, do it yourself and start your own web business! You'll be rich in no time! From your comments, I can see you're no more than a "regular user", so you should be able to do it without a problem... Good luck in finding a new webhost.

For that price, I think it's unbeatable I've known Nvu since it started being developed and I think it's pretty good as a middle-level WYSIWYG HTML editor, with certain features that you don't get on other similar programs. It doesn't have the advanced capabilities offered by Dreamweaver, of course (hende the middle-level rating) but it's pretty decent for most websites, I think.

Hi Kingram. I don't use WP in a long time, so I may be wrong but I think the only way you have to prevent that is to change the plugin's output code directly, so that it will produce compliant XHTML code. What was the solution you found?

Try templatemonster.com, it's not free and your site will look like hundreds of others that use the same templates but it's cheap (I think... I must confess I never compared the prices for this kind of product) and many of the templates are pretty good.

I agree with Jim.

Glad you got it working!

Congratulations!

Are you sure that doesn't work with IE? Have you tried using that technique on a clean HTML file, defining only a <div> and the CSS to center it? I'm asking because I use that technique everytime I need to center something and it works fine with IE... :\ As for IE 7, here's what Paul Thurrott has to say about IE 7 (among many other things): Simple enough to me

One of the things that Drupal has which is a great idea is that there's only one table for the content (nodes). How do you store different types of contents, then? Well, I can't say for sure, because I haven't investigated that deep yet but as far as I can tell, the "node" table (where every content is stored) has a "body" column, which is filled with a serialized object - pure genious, IMO! That way you can create any kinds of content (an object derived from the 'node' object provided by Drupal) and not worry about DB tables to store it, because Drupal already has them in place! By the way, Jack, the other day when I came back online, you were gone. I think I took more than 15 minutes to get to work, sorry :\

I don't know, is it? If you're the one having the problem, why are you asking us? Sorry, couldn't resist it Try making a CSS style where you set #menu { margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; } You may have to add width, there to make it work. PS - Great job with the menu!

evhwanabe, try using this query: $result = @mysql_query("SELECT * FROM phpbb_mycalendar,phpbb_topics WHERE phpbb_mycalendar.topic_id=phpbb_topics.topic_id AND phpbb_mycalendar.date>='".time()."' ORDER BY cal_date LIMIT 10");

Well, if you look at it from a general point of view, then yes, most crackers (not hackers ) fall into that category. But I wouldn't call most of them crackers in the usual sense of the word. When we talk about computer crackers, we (or I, at least) usually think of someone with vast knowledge about computer security and computer systems. As Marie B. said, most of those guys are just "script kiddies" who know nothing more than to look for pre-made exploit scripts that give them access to websites, which they promptly deface, leaving messages that proclaim their "l33t sk1llz"... elite skills that they really don't have, because they have absolutely no idea of what happened when they cracked into the website, they only know how to execute that script and mess up the website. If someone asked them what was going on in the background, what exactly that script was doing and if they could recreate what the script does, using other tools, etc... they wouldn't even have a clue about how to make up an excuse for not knowing anything about that. For their lack of knowledge and misuse/abuse of tools created by others (exploit scripts are usually created by security experts for the purpose of testing their systems for vulnerabilities and they usually share those tools with the community) for a maliciouse purpose, I don't grant them the title of crackers. They're not even hackers, because not only they don't know anything about computer security, they didn't even modify/hack anything to make it work in a way they wanted - they simply used tools created by someone else. Hence the term "script kiddies" In the end, yes, there are also those who do know their share of computer security and still use it for stupid/malicious purposes. But I wouldn't say those are the majority. I think the majority are those script kiddies mentioned above. PS - it's good to have some time to come to the forums again, now that college exams are over!

Hi Jack! As you probably remember (we talked about this several times) I totally agreed with you in respect to Drupal. However, my opinion has radically changed in the last few days. I'm using Drupal at work and I'm completely astonished with it. Perhaps I never had this opinion because I never quite gave myself to the trouble of *really* reading the docs and *really* trying to do something... or perhaps I tried some older versions previous to 4.6.x which were not as good as the current ones. But either way, I must say that Drupal is very powerfull, VERY well architectured and not so difficult to use as it seems at first. And it also has a lot of modules that will help you do just about anything you need. For instance, my boss wanted exactly what you described: a user that could edit content but not post it. I was frying my brain, trying to figure out a way of doing that, I was even thinking and experimenting with modifying Drupal's own code until I went to #drupal-support on irc.freenode.org and asked around. This guy NateSac pointed me to the node privacy byrole module, which allowed me to do exactly what I wanted and much more. This happened to me in a bunch of other similar situations: I had a specific goal which I didn't know how to achieve. I searched Google and Drupal's site and bang, there it was, a solution as simple as downloading a module, changing a little setting... I don't know about that permissions-not-working problem you mentioned, I never experienced it and I also know that Drupal is not perfect but IMHO, it's probably the overall best CMS out there, right now. It's not very easy to pick up at first but it has very good documentation (give it another look, Jack. They've revamped the whole handbooks section of the site) and you "just" need to spend some time reading it. I also found it much easier to learn new stuff about Drupal by having some real goals, instead of just installing it on my local machine and trying to figure out how it works. By having specific goals to achieve, I could focus on learning how to do that instead of losing myself in a bunch of modules and documentation that used to deviate me from my path. Chat me some time on ICQ and we can talk more about it
