You might want to give YaBB SE a try, too. It's YaBB re-written in PHP. http://www.yabbse.org/ I remember I tried both of them and I liked SE better. Can't remember why, though. Perhaps because it's written in PHP.

I don't think the shared servers have Java so I believe you'll need a dedicated server for that. But wait for an official answer from one of the TCH staff. Perhaps you can work something out with them. They do know all about customer satisfaction and reliability!

Your average Joe is only able to "afford" products for Windows because of the amount of piracy in the Windows world, Mitch... It's not really a matter of price. Mac stuff is indeed a bit expensive but so is the Windows stuff. I think it's all a matter of personal choice or technical reason (like needing to use some piece of hardware that only works on Mac/Windows). Just like the old war about "which one is better, Windows or Linux?" - It's not a matter of which one is the best. It's a matter of which one fits your needs and taste!

I just want to add that the "www" folder is just a shortcut to "public_html", so you can upload your files to any of them

Actually, even CSS masters recommend you use <h1> tags, Jim Among other things, it allows your webpage to be correctly displayed even on browsers that have different stylesheets set up to override the ones you specify on your webpage. Or even browsers that don't make use of stylesheets at all but know how to interpret XHTML tags. Or vocal-browsers, for blind people. Or... OK, you get the point As for your question, boxturt, you can prevent the line break after the <h1> tag if you use CSS to set it's display style to inline. Something like this should do the trick: ><h1 style="display: inline;" >Inside H1</h1>Outside H1 The "Outside H1" text should appear right next to the "Inside H1" text. If you take out the "style=....." stuff, leaving only ><h1>Inside H1</h1>Outside H1 you will indeed have a line break. That's because the H1 element is a block level element instead of an inline element, which means that it has an implicit line break right after it. If it was an inline element, it would not have a line break after it, like the <a href=.....> tags. So what you do is use CSS to make it an inline element, effectively turning off the line break

What problems exactly did you have with Mozilla?

Beautifull gesture, Bill. Makes every one of us be proud to be part of this family

Well, I do see Linux as a better alternative to Windows but I wasn't talking about operating systems, I was talking about browsers. What I meant is that those extra 5 Mb of RAM that Mozilla ocupies when compared to Myie are the price you have to pay if you want a better browser.

It's a matter of choice. If you prefer to walk the easiest road....

It's still IE... the wolf under sheep's clothing... Which means all the bad things are still there. The outsite (the shell) is all pretty and full-featured but the inside (the HTML rendering engine) is still the same crappy DLL...

Maybe you should take a look at my very old friend OverLib http://www.bosrup.com/web/overlib/

I guess I could build one or two old computers if I'd gather everything I have laying around... I don't keep a lot of stuff, now. I used to do that but since my house is not that big, I started selling the computer parts I knew I didn't need. Which, for a computer geek, can be a very hard decision to make

I hope you don't be offended but you're not a true geek, man... not if you don't like to fiddle around with your OS! Seriously, now. Judging by your words, I'm willing to bet you don't (really) play with linux for at least a year or two. What I mean is that everything you said used to be true but not anymore. Linux is still slower than Windows when it comes to adopting new hardware stuff, yes. But that's because hardware manufacturers are stupid and don't make drivers for it. But that goes for your Solaris box at work, too Even so, they're starting to realise that there *are* actually people who use Linux as a Desktop OS and new hardware is starting to come out with drivers for Linux alongside with the Windows ones. Take a look at NVidia, for example. They started providing Linux drivers for their graphics chips at least three years ago (I think they did it even earlier but I'm not sure). Another thing that leads me to say you're not a geek are your words about browsers and the web. I've been using Mozilla as my standard browser for more than two years and I can use my right hand fingers to count the number of times I had to switch to another browser to see a website - and I'm a ferocious web surfer! If your problem is about playing movies, get mozplugger and there you go, everything you need to watch movies in your browser! And no, this is not a "legacy hack", it's simply a plugin that makes use of other software which is capable of playing movies, to show them on your browser window. Small pieces of specialized software being used together to accomplish a greater goal. The *nix way. But I bet you already knew that, as a "certified *nixer"... Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to bash you or anything, I'm just showing my point of view with a twist of humour and I'm quite certain that most Linux users on this board will agree with me. Is there a lot more software for Windows than for Linux? Unfortunately, if you work in the CAD/CAM area, forget Linux. For the rest... well, have you seen Disney's latest movie, Sinbad? If you say there aren't many applications for Linux, I say you probably haven't searched enough. Is it still harder to administer, configure and use than Windows? Yes. Is it *much* harder? No. And it gets easier with every new release! But in the end, it all comes down to personal preferences. There are people who just don't have the patience it takes to learn the ins and outs of their system, to know the little details of the OS... I guess that's the price to pay for using an operating system that is stable, Free (Free Software) and allows you to learn a great deal about computers

LOL Really good one! :angry:

The about:config "trick" only works in Mozilla if you install the plugin for it... isn't it? Or is it now part of the newest versions? Also, the smooth scrolling is only available from 1.4 up... or is it 1.3?... OK, I better shut up about this one

Nice, another "about: " trick! There's a very useful one if you use Firebird, which is about:config - it allows you to change everything in the bird's configuration, even stuff that is not visible on the options dialog

Mozilla keeps it's cache in one single directory per user (I don't remember how it works under single user systems like Windows9x/Me). Basically, Mozilla creates a cache folder in a subdirectory of your home directory. In Windows, it will create something like this: c:\Documents and Settings\borfast\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\fg4wivcr.slt\Cache And in Linux, it will put it here: /home/borfast/.mozilla/borfast/pe9o6m44.slt/Cache No hidden stuff And here's the thing that most people don't realize: since Mozilla is Open Source, everyone has access to it's source code, so there's now way it will keep hidden things from the user, because if it did, someone would see the code that hides the files or whatever and... well, I think you get the picture Long live Open Source!

Thanks Andy, I'm reading those threads now Oh, and don't worry too much about this, it's really not a problem at all. I just posted it here because I thought perhaps someone knew an easy way to fix it. Let the Cpanel folks fix it and when TCH updates CPanel, I'll handle it

Nice idea, digirunt Here's another thought: how about the winner is the one who makes the funiest story here on the forums, using smileys? I know, there's not many smileys to chose from but they can be installed and if needed, I have a bunch of them.

Hi everyone. I'm having a little problem with a client's MySQL database. I have a database named 'bestalm_test' which I want to delete and so I went into CPanel's MySQL manager and press the "Delete" link next to it's name but then I get the following error: I think the problem is that CPanel created the database with a prefix other than the 'best-alm' username - it created a database named 'bestalm_test' instead of 'best-alm_test' - and when trying to delete the database, it is putting the username before the suffix, so it's a bit of a mess... Has anyone seen this before? Is there a simple way to fix it? Thanks in advance

Thanks idallen.

Well, glad it works. I thought it wouldn't work because I read someone saying on the other thread that it didn't work for them but on the other hand, when I read that thread, I recall trying that and it fixed the problem, so I was a little confused As to the 'why' part, I can't tell you for sure, since I know almost nothing about PERL but I'd guess that the PERL interpreter doesn't output the HTTP MIME type by default and Apache doesn't put it in either, so in order for the script to work correctly, the MIME type has to be output. Anyway, good scripting

Someone else had this problem too: http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/i...ic=3036&hl=perl Basically, add the following code after the #!/usr/bin/perl line: print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; It should work, now EDIT: Ignore this for a while, I thought this was the solution for the problem but it doesn't seem to be - I just read the rest of the thread I linked to. I'll update this when I have some more info.
