Search engines see the site as you would see it if you were to view source. Basically, there is noway that you (or the search engines) would know if it were a php include; because it's written into the actual page. (try viewing source, you won't see the php include statement, you'll see what was inside the included file) So, in answer - search engines will still spider it as if it were built onto the page.

What I meant by embedding is having a php include within another include within another include.... on and on; don't go crazy with that. Try to structure so that all your includes go to one page where you can.

Php includes are written, on the fly, into the page. So when you include them when you load the page and view source, then you'll see it as though it were all built in there. For that reason, you want to continue to avoid things like "banner.gif" that Norton or other security agents will block as advertisements. Embedding php includes is possible too - but be careful how much you do that, each one is a seperate call on the server, so you don't want to be crazy about it. =)

Moved for organization. As far as I know - there's not much you can do other than contact the software's designer and see if they have an updated version. =)

Submit a ticket about the databases, those should be cleaned up by techs. As far as Cpanel - X is a theme, and there are many others. That shouldn't affect anything except for how it looks.

Tompas, the outter scrollbar = the browser's scrollbar? Why not use php includes (or shtml but yuck ) to pull the information into the page, rather than iframes, and let the page expand is necessary? that's more search engine and bookmark friendly, too..... I'm sorry I'm not helping with your initial query, I'm just trying to get my head around what you've done and why. =)

This is a family (personal) site, correct? As opposed to a not-for-profit business?

If you get what you want the menu will have readability issues and I think would look sort of silly. I like the way your menu works.

That's not a good indicator; that's the date you joined the forum. I joined the forum quite awhile after I joined TCH and many do beforehand to ask pre-sales questions. If you can't find it I'd submit a ticket and ask sales to let you know. =)

MT - especially prior to 3.1; was touted as a static system. It used a database but wrote actual files - less db overhead. In 3.1 they added a dynamic structure to it (combo perl / php, no comment here eh) so you can have some actual files and some served from the database, depending on popularity.

Well it's not a mod_rewrite rule because the posts are generally saved by that; though in some cases it certainly might be. =)

Raul, check out the beta of adium, and growl, and while you're doing it - here's an example of why a permalink is handy: http://www.lisa-jill.com/index.php/weblog/...rrrrrrrrrrrowl/ has url's to the beta and growl - very cool stuff. =) what you describe WOULD be a permalink - a permanent way to get back to that information. People however want "human readable" URL's - easy to remember and give an idea of what you're cilcking on. Plus they don't want query strings in the URL for SEO purposes (not as much of a problem these days but still. A post slug is a way to give your post a friendly URL without using a possibly very long title (my permalinks are the titles of the posts). So instead of grrrrrrrrrrrrowl you could put in the post slug "growl" - which might be easier to read (less r's =) ) Just one more option =) does that help?

It may mean nothing - some firewalls block traceroutes; a problem that I had constantly in my old job.

You wanted permalinks or don't know what they are? ;ppp Trackbacks are simple - a way for someone to comment on their site and let you know they're discussing the same thing. So, say you write a post about ducks. (sorry been playing with Adium =) ). Say I wanted to write a post about ducks too, or wanted to respond - at lenght, or on my own site - to what you had said. I could do that then put in the trackback URL and when I post it, it will leave a "trackback" (or "remote comment" some call it) on your site. That way you know that I'm responding and there's an interlinking through the "blogosphere". I have no idea what a pingback is - I do know it's not widely accepted, only in use on very few weblogs. =)

I don't believe there is any hardset limit. T here is a limit of 2meg using php file transfer. But just a straight transfer will really depend on how much space ou have on your account and the connection from you to here. I've uploaded 50 meg files (It took an amazingly long time, but went it did) so can't see a problem coming up....

Responded, you don't have to notify me in here if you pm me, though...

It has nothing to do with your password for the forums; it is a general password and I pm'd you the password for it. =)

It is very likely that the library and dorms are on the same network; I know my school's is. I'd talk to them before getting frustrated with it - they can answer some questions. You can also try running a traceroute.

They may not be willing to "help" but they can confirm if there is something blocking port 21; if there isn't then some other troubleshooting can begin. It'd be very unusual to block that port. =)

FTP (port 21) and file sharing (P2P networks, use a variety of ports) are totally different. I'm not sure about the other things your friend mentioned but I'd contact your University tech support and confirm with them. The only other way I know about it is to use cpanels file manager.

From phpinfo: Does that answer? =)

Ok... I'm interesting in returning to use of a text based email client, a whole slew of reasons. I was always enamored of Pine. The problem is that when I used to use it it was supplied by my ISP and configured by them. So I have it installed but I can't figure out how to enter the pop3/stmp server, username and password in a fashion that will actually work. I've tried all sorts of solutions to this but I lost the link to the page where the things I tried are listed *sighs* Anyway, I enabled incoming-mail-folders as that's the method I'd like to use so that it can notify me of new mail - anyone have any more ideas on this? I'll keep searching but if someone knows... well hey. =)

Yes that was real =) (is that the question?) There have been upgrades since then, you can get them from http://www.mozilla.org....

I think that's just a template for the logfiles for instant messages.....

I believe that Apache here is compiled with the default (and thusly most common) php modules. Many, many scripts avoid using non-default ones for the same reason as the help desk quotes as not being able to install them. I ran across this with the exif reading module; and believe me, this is a HUGE problem for digital photographers on most hosting providers. It is such a big problem that someone created a special set of libraries called exifer so that php could read exif information without any changes on shared web hosting servers. =) I'm not sure if there is something like that for the other modules; but maybe. Anyway, I hope that this helps to indicate how widespread some of this can be.
