I'm not sure I understood the problem. You have two layers, with an SWF in each of them but you don't want them both to show, is that it? I can't tell what the problem could be without looking at the code but my first advice would be to drop the "DHTML" stuff, since it usually makes use of non-standard CSS. But then again, I can only be sure about what I'm saying if I take a look at the code.

Check my post on this thread in order to change the way error messages are displayed. As for the full path to where your files reside, it's something like /home/<yourusername>/ If you want to make sure (or if it's not the one I pointed and you want to find out what it is) make use of this PHP script: ><?php echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; ?> Hope this helps

Be carefull when changing the quotes from ' to " - a variable inside double quotes will be translated to it's value but a variable inside single quotes will not, thus if you have $var = "test"; echo '$var'; // this will output $var echo "$var"; // this will output test Further info about the error(s) PHP returned would be useful. In the meanwhile, try changing your copy() command into this: copy($fileupload, $archivedir."/".$filename);

I just had enough with IE and it's stupid CSS support. I started working with CSS on Mozilla and when I tried making my CSS-enabled webpages to work on IE, I almost went nuts! SO I just gave up. My new website (on the works on my computer) will work on standards compliant browsers. Anything other than that won't be guaranteed to work. And I know that IE users will have a rough time on my website but I'm not going to waste my time and energy fixing my website for a browser whose creators didn't spend time and energy on to make it work with my website... I know this will make me lose visitors but it will also open up the minds of a few people. If I can get 1 person out of 10 to drop IE, even if I lose the other 9 visitors, I'll consider it a victory. OK, enough ranting, on to the question. I think you should analyze the percentage of visitors who use older browsers and then see if it's worth the time and energy of fixing your site to work with those browsers. Of course it also depends on how many visitors you want to keep. If every single visitor is vital to your website, then you obviously need to make your site work on every browser. But if your audience is composed mainly by computer literate fellows, perhaps it's not such a problem if you won't go any further back than IE5.5, Opera 6 and Gecko 1 (NS6/7, Mozilla).

Actually, I found it to have a few problems, as it doesn't correctly submit the website to every search engine available as an option. Most of the results come up as error codes from the search engines' website. Perhaps it's time CPanel.com to take a look at this. So, as Mitch and Jim already said, it's better to submit your sites by hand

So your ISP is blocking traffic that doesn't pass through their proxy servers... I hate when they do that Mad!!! Anyway, perhaps you haven't configured your mail client properly. Usually, a POP3 proxy server is not the same than the HTTP proxy server. Are you sure this isn't the case with your ISP? Call your ISP and ask them how to configure your mail client to use their POP3 proxy server. I'm sure they'll help you out.

Welcome Rob. With you and your arsenal on the team, we can now use more...errr... convincing arguments when something bad happens! Oh, wait... Nothing bad happens around here. I guess you'll only have to mod the forums, then Welcome to the team

My first suggestion would be to drop FrontPage. The HTML it produces is very non-compliant with the W3C standards and it's usually a big mess. In your case, it even produced HTML that Mozilla doesn't understand at all!! For instance, I don't think there's any "picture" tag defined in HTML or XHTML. It must be a IE-only tag, which means no browsers other than IE will see the pictures. It also uses the long ago deprecated "layer" tag, which was used mostly (exclusively?) by Netscape Navigator, if I'm not mistaken... which is odd... MS using NS tags? Take a look at this: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%....0+Transitional Anyway, I'd suggest you'd use one of the many photo-gallery scripts that exist on the web, like Gallery or Coppermine. First of all, you get an administration backend to upload your photos, update them, delete, comment, uncommet, etc. Their code is also much more standards compliant than Frontpage's. And if you go with Gallery or Coppermine, you even have installation instructions right here on the TCH Help Pages: Coppermine: http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/help/id163.htm Gallery: http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/help/id168.htm Of course you also have these foruns to ask for help. Actually, if you search for it, there's already some posts about using Gallery here at TCH. So... if I still didn't convince you on dropping Frontpage to build your photo gallery, drop me a line and I'll try to work out the code with you.

TCH !

Hi Peter. I tried the website with my dad's dial-up and it seems quite OK to me, so my first advice is that you shouldn't really worry about it, since the menu graphics aren't really big in size. If you really want to do what you mentioned, here's a little old trick that might do what you want: http://javascript.about.com/library/weekly...y/aa072301a.htm It's not exactly what you want but I don't think you'll have any trouble adapting it to your needs. If you need help, just drop me a line

You don't need to stream WMA files. You can simply upload the files to your webspace and provide a link to them. People will still be able to open them directly with Windows Media Player (without the benefits of a streaming connection, of course) or download them to their hard drives, if they want to.

Thanks guys! I'm glad to be part of the team And no, you will not have to switch to Linux. Well, at least not until I fulfill my plans of world domination, that is

If for some reason you want to use another filename for the image, you can edit the template file for the overall header of the webboard. The file should be in <forum>/templates/<templatename>/overall_header.tpl So if you're using the default subSilver template, the file should be in <forum>/templates/subSilver/overall_header.tpl In that file, search for this bit of code ><img src="templates/subSilver/images/logo_phpBB.gif" and simply change the "logo_phpBB.gif" to whatever filename you want to use. Then upload the file you want to <forum>/templates/subSilver/images/ , just like Mike said. Voilá, new logo on your webboard

I believe you need to be able to use the GRANT MySQL command for this but we don't have access to it for security reasons, so I don't think you can do that

I remember having that problem a very long time ago, when I still used IE. I never managed to figure out what was going on. Hope it works for you guys who still use IE. If it doesn't, try Mozilla or Mozilla Firebird

Mozilla and Mozilla Firebird are not going to be developed together. The idea from the Mozilla project guys is to replace the current Mozilla browser with Mozilla Firebird and the Mozilla mail component with Mozilla Thunderbird. Yes, Firebird is still a bit buggy but I use it as my default browser and I rarely have problems with it. My suggestion is to use Mozilla Firebird and Mozilla for those situations when Firebird misbehaves. If there's something about Firebird functionality that you don't like, chances are that someone else didn't like it too and wrote a plugin to change it. You only have to go to http://texturizer.net/firebird/ and get it EDIT: I just noticed this news item from texturizer's firebird page: Good news for Linux users who don't like to compile their own programs!

I didn't like any of the *Nukes because their default templates are ugly. OK, I'm just kidding but they are indeed really ugly I agree that they are easy to use but I didn't like them from a technical point of view. They're probably the oldest CMS's around and so they're very mature and have lots of followers (= support), plugins and templates but their insides are just too ugly for my likings. If you're not a programmer, there's no point in explaining why I don't like them. Even if I wanted to explain, I can't remember most of the stuff I didn't like, anyway... But if you want my advice, I think you should try them all. Make a list of things you think you'll do regullarly or find important to have in your website. Then try them all in each of the CMS's and decide which one is best for you. Be advised that this is a tedious task. I've done it myself and by the end of the first one, you'll just want to get it done without any more hassle and you'll want to just pick the one that looks best. At least that's what happened to me.

Replied. Sorry for the delay, my cats thought it would be nice to open the cupboard door and play hide-and-seek using the cupboard as a place to hide.... Luckily they didn't break anything I just love animals...

First of all, stay away from PHP-Nuke and Post-Nuke. They'll suck your brain out. I really dislike them. I haven't tried eZPublish enough to say whether it's good or not but from what I've seen, it seems a bit messy. Mambo is pretty cool but lacks some functionalities. I tried it when version 4 came out, I think and it was really great. Perhaps now there are more plugins available to fill the gaps. I found Xoops pretty cool as well but there was something there I didn't like... I still don't know what, since I didn't play enough time with it to form an opinion. Chadf, what makes you say Xoops is better? Maybe you can spare me the time of installing them both to compare them

Thanks, Bill Reading and replying now...

Bill, could you please take a look at the PM I sent you? Just answer a simple "yes" or "no", I know you're a busy man Thanks

Should Invision do anything to fix it? I mean, is there something to fix? Have they told you that it is indeed a problem with IPB and they won't fix it or have you posted something on their forums and haven't got an answer yet? Note that these are two completely different things. If it's a bug, I'm sure Invision Power Services will correct it and post a patch. If it's not a bug but something you're doing wrong, you should post some more details about what you did and hope that someone will know what you're doing wrong. And note that Invision Power Services has discontinued their free support to IPB users: http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?...=ST&f=1&t=82460 Now if you want IPB support from Invision Power Services you have to pay, so it's not strange if you don't have an official response from them.
