Lets just say there are a few places you need to check a few times in a row to "shake" something loose.

Thanks Alan, the "primary" email is out of town for a week and they forgot to email it to me, I migh tsend in a ticket if I get enough time that I might acually work on it

I use a removable hard drive and Ghost using the "clone" option. This creates a bootable full hard drive for ya. I have had some problems will the Cdilla key stuff, but just delete the Cdilla folder and renter your codes. Hard drives are so cheap these days you can buy 2 and probably save money on cd's in the long run. I also burn my "my Docs" to CD's every week or so. If you have a "crash" just change your bios load settings to point to the removable hard drive, reboot and you are up and running. Load the latest My Docs and off to the races.

Ya what he said! Makes it real easy to thumbnail a ton of images, one set up you can really just point and shoot for antire CD of images

LOL Ask a lot of questions, I even changed my user name at a support site after a while because I asked so many. (got bashfull) I buy a good "for dummies book" to get started. I have Javascript, HTML, Perl etc for dummies. Then I get a good Bible, Que or Peachpit (or insert another) for the hard core stuff.

Just so you know it is a javascript called "6 buttons" that can be a nuisance and was targeted by virsus scanners long after 1st Page was released. Just let your virus scanner remove it while installing. I have used 1st Page for years and have yet to find any software I would replace it with. http://www.spywareinfo.com/articles/av/six...s_from_hell.php for more info on Six buttons

HC to the rescue! Thanks for cleaning up my code, have never acually used it to select it from a list. I learned something new

bite (had to)

Welcome LISA to the TCH family Rock Sign I am yet a newborn myself, but will let you know that you wont be sorry, best move I have ever made. I can spend the time I used to take calling my old host with problems to welcoming new users of TCH!

I have signed up my third (and almost last I hope as I am running out of life time) domain with TCH. I was listed as the alternate contact for email. Is there a way to get the welcome email sent to the alternate email on the sign up form? THe "owner" of the site is out of town for a week as is his wife. I wanted to try to get started this weekend on it. BTW domain is riderschoiceusedbikewarehouse.com and I am the @hotmail address listed as the secondary contact email (yes yes I tried to talk then into a shorter name, but no luck)

Well it looks like we finally are rid of my old host. Now you must know how I am sure of this, it is funny: We have now recieved a credit email from the billing end of the compnay. I was told that the support end sent out 2 (yes two) emails today regarding our cancelation, BUT they are still having so many problems with thier own email that we have not received either emails (been almost 8 hours). Time for a beer! Rock Sign

What kind of member managment? I noticed you have a link to member information. I have 2 questions: 1) How do you want to control this: Automated sign up via web? They send you the $$ and you add them? 2) what do you want to use this for? For forum use? For password protected use? Guest Book? Email list? Or non-web related info? If you can provide a little more information on what the use would be I might be able to help point you in the right direction.

I have no idea why I thought this would be any different, but I CANT EVEN GET MY OLD HOST to cancel my account. You would think they would be ready to get me off their backs, but I guess not. For the second time in two days I have been told that: Day1 From a random CSR: "CSR-Thisperson1 has the request in front of them and is processing it now" Day2 From a different CSR: "CSR-Thisperson1 has the request in front of them and is processing it now" Now I lag sometimes, but is CSR-Thisperson1 breathing? I mean he has had the same request in front of him for TWO DAYS! Rock Sign blue domino does not Rock Sign I will edit post when my account is finally closed! I think next time I will just call the VP at coffee cup, he runs Blue Domino, I imagine he has all the time in the world to talk to 1 customer that is trying to quit!!

LMAO good timing hu? Rock Sign

Those would be the two ways that I know of. For the javascript something close to: ><script> Function DoThis() {yourformname.Auto_Name[optionname].select();} </script> <body onload(DoThis)> You woule have to "name" everthing for Javascript to find this i.e. <form action="" name="yourformname""....>, <option value="Acura"> Acura </option>, etc. If you wanted to have the form select an option depending on other input from another page, you could make the form page PHP. Pass a variable to the form page, then have php write that portion of the form.

If any phpers want to take a minute and try to poke some holes in my php script for mailing form submissions. This script works BTW. I am trying to ensure the script is secure as possible by taking out any unwanted @'s that a spammer may try to send to my mail sending script. I have not used any pre maid scripts as we send email to various emails depending on form submissions and this script is used with some other php classes to update a .htaccess style user list. Well here it is, let me know if you can find any holes!! ><?php // set up our variables $redirect = "thanks.html"; //thank URL $subject = "Website Information Request"; //Subject for email $maildate = date("D F dS, Y"); //Lets add a date $headers = ""; //Clear variable $mailingto = ""; //Clear variable $message = ""; //Clear variable $SecureEmail = $_POST["email"]; //ensure we are getting form data not sent thru URL $SecureSalesrep = $_POST["salesrep"]; //ensure we are getting form data not sent thru URL $SecureCustname = str_replace('@', " at ", $CustName); //remove any @'s from variable // check to see if there is more than one @ in email, if so blank it out $atCount = substr_count($SecureEmail, '@'); if ($atCount > 1) { $SecureEmail = "webserver@****"; } // if the required field on form is selected use the USERNAME@ and send the email to that user if ($SecureSalesrep == "") { $mailingto = "me@****"; } else { $mailingto = "$SecureSalesrep@****"; } // Set up headers // if the user entered an email we will send this email FROM them if ($SecureEmail == "") { $headers .= "From: webserver@****\r\n"; $headers .= "Reply-to: webserver@****\r\n"; } else { $headers .= "From: $SecureEmail\r\n"; $headers .= "Reply-to: $SecureEmail\r\n"; } $headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion(); //parse the form posts foreach($HTTP_POST_VARS as $key => $value) { $message .= $key ." : " .$value ."\n"; } // Lets remove every @ in the post varriables to ensure no one tries to pass a cc: user@domain.com etc $securemessage = str_replace('@', " at ", $message); // Build the message. We have ensured the $email has only 1 @, $securemessage has no @'s, $custName has no @'s $tmessage = "Information was requested by $SecureCustname from our website on $maildate\n\n$securemessage\n------------------- end of email --------------------\nMail generated by AAP mail: PHP Webserver form script\n-----------------------------------------------------"; //Send this thing. We should be totaly spammer secure $ret = mail($mailingto, $subject, $tmessage ,$headers); //And lets go to another page if ($ret) { header("Location: $redirect"); } else { echo('<p>We are sorry, our server is temporarily unable to send mail.<br>Please call us at OUR NUMBER so we may better serve you.<br>Thank You, All About Play<br> Or you may return to our <a href="http://www.****">home</a> page.</p>'); } ?> BTW, Any TCH'ers feel free to hack, copy, use modify this code as you wish. Any non TCH'ers must pay $1 to me for each use (j/k)

Currently? Not a ton. Waiting on SW Battlefront later this year Last year? Star Wars Galaxies (did about a 6 month stint) KOTOR (Great Game) HL (always around) Deus Ex II (good follow up to my favorite game of all time) Splinter Cell Jedi Knight (whatever the latest one is)

On the right track it looks like. Congrats on the DMOZ listing, I have NEVER been able to get a site listed there (been trying for years) or get an application approved to be an editor. It can take forever to get fully googled, sounds like you are well on your way!

I do not think TCH allows that, unless the "random" user name is somehow a vulgar word

Hey Bill, sounds exactly like my old webhost, wonder if we were at the same company?? LMAO

Thats what I am doing wrong!!! All this time I have been using Gas from PG&E, what was I thinking Rock Sign

As a new TCH customer I had the same feelings as you at first (Mr/Ms Gift). Getting rid of that phone number was hard for me at first. But I have had all myquestions answered very quickly from TCH via chat, forum or tickets. Faster than the 24/7 phone service at my last host. I added the TCH group to my yahoo! messanger and I dont know if I have ever seen less than 2 of them "available". The benifit I have found, from asking questions via the forum, is you get responses from not only TCH-Guru's but from customers as well. I noticed this really helps in finding alternate ways around a problem. Rock Sign

I use 2 monitors on the same machine. I do a lot of CAD work and quoting and this allows me to have much more screen space to have many things open at once. Combined this with eFax and I can avoid paper at all costs!! Rock Sign

Thanks for the info Rick. I am not sending (nor do I recomend using) AOL. All the "forwards" are our @ourdomain emails.

So am I incorrect that we need to create an acual email account for the "forwards" email address? I did create an acual email address (list1@****) then set up forwards from list1@ to User1, to User2, etc. I do have email sitting in the list1@ email account.
