It's in the welcome message from TCH, just a matter of remembering the format. From WHM you can see it, before propogation, by hovering over the users account in the account listings, I believe. =)

With the major forums, PHPBB and InvisionBoard, all of that information is stored in the MYSQL database; not in html files.

That's what I get for responding at 9am. I missed the blog. part =) Yes, if you set up a proper subdomain it should remain in the subdomain, as Arvind said. =)

Why not have MT write the files to public_html so that the URL natively rests there? Make sure you don't have any indices there and then go to weblog config -> core setup and point everthing one directory up. If you need more help with that, post what you have for the configurations in weblog config -> core setup, and I'll help out some more. =)

Well, I never view the files online, I always download them to my harddrive to view; and I always get that popup because I download my .htaccess to the same place everytime (I have backups elsewhere). But I expect that. Are you sure that you're able to view locally hidden files (ones with a . ?) perhaps you have a copy downloaded but can't see it. =)

My pleasure!

Woo kasey. If you're optimizing before going live, can I give you other suggestions? =) First one, download MTDirifyPlus extract it and ftp the .pl file into your cgi-bin/mt/plugins folder - you may need to create the plugins folder, I don't think that we did. This will come into play later. =) Question 1) the title of the post should be the link - this should be changed in your Main Index template, and in any archive templates (category or date) that you're using. You can leave individual alone for this. You're looking for something after the first < MTEntries > (no spaces) container, it should look like < MTEntryTitle >, so modify that line. You can then remove the permalink a href's from around the date, a bit further down in the same sections in each template. 2)You need to locate the title attribute in the head section of your individual archive template, and change get rid of the tag for MTBlogTitle and just leave MTEntryTitle. Those names may not be exact; I know from talking that you have some idea about this so I think those instructions will be enough for you. Let me know if not. 3) He's right about having file names as permalinks, however they should have dashes, NOT underscores, as google treats underscores as alloneword. This is where the plugin above comes into play. Go into weblog config, archiving preferences. In the individual template file name, place this code (similar to his but modfied to make dashes using the plugin) ><$MTArchiveDate format="%y/%m/%d"$>/<$MTEntryTitle dirifyplus="sld"$>.php 4) Category names are fine that way, as well, although I would suggest dirify plus again in case your categories have spaces, ala: >categories/<$MTArchiveCategory dirifyplus="sld"$>/index.php Now, I want to note a few things. One, I modified it to output PHP pages rather than HTML. I believe when I took you through the install we decided to output your pages as php? That's really better for the longterm, you'll find a lot of added flexiblity. If you don't want to use php you can change the.php to .html. Or if you want to use PHP and we did NOT go through this, keep it as I made the code and also go to weblog config -> preferences and find "output file extension" and change it to php. Then in templates make index and archive output filename end in .php instead of .html. I *think* we did that anyway. Ok, I hope that I clarified everything for you. I'm on Yahoo if ya need me!

Don't use Photoshop, it strips exif data (digital camera shooting data)... even if you don't know what that is right now you may want it in the future. =) I use NikonView to deal with mine, then EZthumbnails to thumbnail it all quickly. Freeware, too. =)

I might also suggest working with the default theme at first. I initially switched to another theme and it was broken and I couldn't make filters from the 'to' address. Switching back to default fixed that; so until you're used to the program and know what it should do, don't play with those .... Frustrating, it was. I thought I was just missing the obvious.

I downloaded this last night; after having lots of problems with .5. It's a great upgrade and I love it to pieces. Works fantastically. =)

*blushes*

Try using root relatiive url's (oh my terminology stinks, forgive me.) example: ><a href="/images/nameofimage.jpg"> Thi will tell it to look for the image starting from the root folder (the first / says that) then move on to images (/images) and upward to the image itself (/nameofimage.jpg). This can be more or less complicated depending on your directory structure, but start from the /. The slash relates, more directly, to the part after the http*//www.****/. That bolded slash is what the first slash in my example link corresponds to. Hope that helps... Look forward to welcoming you to the family!

Woah, slow down there. Did you test this cross-browser? IE? Firefox? Mozilla? Opera? Several platforms? Do that before you go ditching old anchors. If you do that, come back and tell me? I'm way too lazy to try that out... *grins8

I use smartftp all the time. Just download .htaccess to a local directory and view it that way, as mentioned. It's safest. =)

.htaccess is just about the proverbial god of webservers. It can control password protection, error documents, redirects, and lots of other things. Here is a tutorial for beginners that may help you out. Note: Always make a backup. .htaccess can easily cause complete loss of access to your site, on purpose or by mistake, so be very, very careful and *always, always test* to make sure your site is properly performing after a change. Even if the modificatin seems minor. =)

I believe it would be something like ><a id="anchor" href="/forums/articles/79.php" title="go to article 79">go to article 79</a> but I haven't read the specs. I'm not sure how many browsers would recognize that at the moment, either. note: I am guessing, and may be completely wrong. note, you can read more about this in the official proposals which do not yet utilize id's for anchors

Sure. =) mt-check says you don't have them, but you definitely do not *need* them. TCH is able to run MT on it's servers as is. =)

You should submit a help desk ticket asking for them. Is this for movabletype though? If it is you don't need them for mysql.

I am not familar with Post Nuke per se, however I've moved over several databases/programs when I came to TCH. All it was, was a matter of importing the database, installing the program files, and updating any config files via a text editor so that it has the right details (db name, username, password) etc. Does that help? I'm sorry I can't give more specifics.

59% compression. Yummy.

I have actually removed those lines due to some problems over here. In one case it crashed one of my favorite visitors browser. I'm using a superscript that was posted when I queried about it in this thread. =)

Do you see the file "contentdb.php" in your public_html folder?

Yes to both questions. =) If you decide to upgrade you simply need to submit a support ticket to sales.

Firefox is the best. The new beta of Opera is kind of nifty too, but I prefer firefox. =)

At 80% of bandwidth used, you will get an email warning you that you should purchase more bandwidth. (1 gig is $2.50 monthly). If you then exceed your bandwidth, your account is automaticaly suspended. Spam Assassin is available to use on the servers. Does that answer your questions?
