do you want it in non-profit or commercial? If it's not allowed to make a profit but feeling is non-profit; non-profits out here pay their employees as well. But the final call is up to you. =)

Some guy did this, it was slashdotted. Microsawft.com or something, I forget. =)

Do your suggestion or cybersquatting in general? There are circumstances where you could fight, as in the case of a name or a business. If someone had a window selling business and had gotten windows.com for instance... well who knows. Would have been interesting. =)

Added. =)

There was no link to TCH so I was unable to add this to the family pages. Let me know if you update this. =)

No, I said cybersquatting is problematic. I'm not sure that it's *illegal* but there are precedents of those domains being awarded to the trademark owners. There were a few big ones with Microsoft a few months ago.

*nods* I enjoy coding by hand as well. I also validate my pages. I started that because I had an error in the page that I couldn't figure out - validating helped me find it. Then it was such a feeling of accomplishment that I kept at it. But I started off using Dreamweaver at a job - then I couldn't afford it personally so I just started doing it by hand as I didn't like the smaller packages available at the time. Whatever you enjoy doing is what you should do. As an addendum: using CSB (or any package, or hand coding) doesn't ensure your site is viewable to everyone; I'll always think that's important to test for the best results, but that's another topic. =)

You did replace the variables I used, right? "cpanelname" with your cpanel name? When you go to mysql manager, do you see a bunch of database connection strings? Or something else?

How did you reference the database? did you use cpanelname_ima? or just ima? The latter won't work. Same with the database user - it's cpanelname_yourdbname - not yourdbname. Does that help at all?

I've had people preach standards to me - and they don't even have a standards compliant site. It's actually fairly entertaining. There will always be elitests out there. Do I think anyone could learn HTML? Sure, I also think anyone could learn rocket science - it's a matter of time and motivation. I know HTML, I don't know rocket science - I probably never will. As with anything, there will always be people that think they are better because they can do one thing better. I'm sure there are things that you can do better than those people; just let it go, imo. It's not worth wasting time on it - let them waste their time, while you just ignore it =) Ultimately, you'll be the one having fun. =)

You didn't create a database and database user? You'll need to do that. There aren't any "pre-made" databases with your account. When you do that - make sure you Add the user to the databae, it's a seperate step that a lot of people don't remember to do. =)

blue text where the rest of the text is black... =)

I don't think that's a problem. If you had a name like hrm, "Baldur" for instance, it could be, since there's a major game called Baldur's Gate. Are you getting the idea? Still it shouldn't be a problem. =)

If you click on the link for userContent.css in that article, it takes you here: http://texturizer.net/firefox/edit.html#content It does not exist by default.

to clarify, in the US it's not just intent to sell it's trademark and copyright issues as well. I'm not sure how this plays out internationally. =)

Not by default, no; but I found some helpful information (I found it through del.icio.us) about using their userContent.css to block embedded ads - did that, it's brilliant. =) Here's the link: http://texturizer.net/firefox/adblock.html

Only if you're cybersquatting. That'd mean - if you're holding domains with no relationship at all to your purpose, with the intent of selling. Otherwise, no. I have several domains parked (variations on my name and website name). =)

Ah, I'm not seeing those on Firefox 1.0 PR on OSX. But I just remembered that I installed some CSS blocking of banner ads into Firefox's userContent.css - so that's why. =)

Erika, The "links" page I'm looking at. Blue background - a large image at the top that says links with 5 button images under Home, About Me, Stats, etc... is that the page you're having trouble with? You do not see the Links banner there? I also see this code in the source ><div align="center"><OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" WIDTH="468" HEIGHT="60" id="filmstrip" ALIGN=""><PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="http://www.musecube.com/images/banners/filmstrip.swf?name=Erika&usertype=model&username=Erika"> <PARAM NAME=loop VALUE=false> <PARAM NAME=menu VALUE=false> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=autolow> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF> <EMBED src="http://www.musecube.com/images/banners/filmstrip.swf?name=Erika&usertype=model&username=Erika" loop=false menu=false quality=autolow bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH="468" HEIGHT="60" NAME="filmstrip" ALIGN="" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED></OBJECT><BR> <a href="http://www.musecube.com/"><b><font face="verdana" size="1">Free Portfolio hosting, model search & photographer directory</font></b></a></div> Which I think matches what you said. Note: Im on OSX and I run no security measures other than the built in firewall. You have multiple instances of hte word banner in there and I wouldn't be surprised if that remained the problem. of course - if none of what I described is the banner then I'm not seeing it either. =) Let me know!

Alan, you can use any email you want in the ticket, just supply it - you'll need to supply them with your phone number, name, and last 3 digits of CC so that they can verify everything. As you know. =)

First, I've moved this to the right forum, for organization. Second, do you have an example page where the code is in place but not working, and can you show us the code that you've used here, so that we can have a look? one of the major things that can happen is if you use the word "banner" or other type of catchalls then some security agents will stop it from appearing, as they block "advertisements" and that's a common advertisement name - so you want to avoid the use of those words in url's.

I believe that snipe is on a dedicated server. I'm sure that one of the folks more familiar with them will stop by and help out soon, snipe. =)

Ultimate Form Mail was created by a family member and is one of the more popular ones in use (judging by the forums) I personally had a lot of success with Dodos Mail. Hope that helps!

Sure. =) Glad you got it working!

Did you add the three lines that tell it to use a mysql database? ObjectDriver DBI::mysql Database hostingAccountUserName_nameOfDatabase DBUser hostingAccountUserName_nameOfDatabaseUser ? Make sure there is no # before those lines.
