  1. I am not sure how the karma works on the admin/mod level. I think it is basically a way for members to rank other members, or to give their opinion on a member, so the noobie members know who it might be best to talk to. I know alot of people will abuse it by ranking members they hate bad, but then the other members who likes them can just rank them good.

    I am not too familar with Karma, I just have my views on why it might be useful.  If thantos reads this, perhaps he can shed light on the exact workings of Karma.
  2. Karma is not something that you give people for helping you, IMO. I think it is like, "Well this member seems pretty nice and intent on helping so I will give him good karma." or "This member is kinda mean, or rude, so he gets bad karma." That way other members, noobies, will know which members they might want to talk to one on one with and which ones they might want to leave alone.

    just my thoughts, as that is how I always looked at karma.
  3. Get a VPS.  ServerPowered.com is real good at setting it up as a web server, so you don't have to do anything to it.  And they do free migration from server to server.  So they would migrate your site from your home server to your new VPS. If you have to set something up, PM me. I will do it for free.  I have a 2 VPS, and I am thinking about getting another...plus I run Gentoo linux on my home computer....P.S. Get CENTOS for your OS on the VPS.
  4. Okay.  First off here is a list of stuff that we plan on doing to the Forums/Site assuming it gets approved by Eric.  As more people make suggestions and comments, I will add to the list:

    [list]
    [*]Bring back the Solve/Unsolve feature, even if I have to make it myself.
    [*]Fix the Script section on the main site (This has been broke for some time)
    [*]Work on getting the forum intergrated into the site, or at least getting a link from the forums to the site so you don't have to go up and edit the URL.
    [*] Get the user stats on the main page working
    [/list]


    Again most of this needs approval by Eric, and it will have to wait till Ober and I get FTP access, which should be soon.
  5. The only thing that we have working right now is the Tutorial section and the Quick Code Library, as far as that area goes.  The scrip section should be working soon. I have talked to Eric about it in the past, but I am almost at a point where I can just fix it myself. Just waiting on a few things to be adjusted on the Server side so I can access the actual code.
  6. that could work also. The only problem is that would it show up like that when he list the member names in a Memberlist? It might start looking kinda odd to do that, but if it is a smaller site it would be okay.

    Another suggestion would be to make your directories like that instead.

    /~images/
    /~includes/

    and so on.
  7. This site has been commented before, but I changed the design. There is still a few things needing down, such as adding a few things to the left hand side.

    [a href=\"http://webgeekz.netgeekz.net\" target=\"_blank\"]http://webgeekz.netgeekz.net[/a]

    Also, I am working on getting a form set up for the Order page. Right now I have to use an iframe there, but I managed to get it looking okay. I am trying to make contact with the credit card company, etc. to see if I can use something other than their pre-made form to process credit cards and paypal payments :(

    Anyways, a bit about the site. There are two packages on there that are resell packages, and the other packages are ran off of a VPS server I have. right now the silver and gold are on a reseller package and the special, bronze, and beginner package are on my VPS. But you don't wanna hear about the servers, so I guess I will let you critique away:

    [a href=\"http://webgeekz.netgeekz.net\" target=\"_blank\"]http://webgeekz.netgeekz.net[/a]
  8. Yeah, I rarely ever post for help but here I am. I don't mess much with mysql queries, I perfer ADODB, but I have a damn mysql query.

    [code]
    $get_forumers_online = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM forum_members WHERE lastLogin < 15 MINUTES");
    $num_forumers_online = mysql_num_rows($get_forumers_online);
    echo "Total Online: $num_forumers_online <br />";
    [/code]


    [!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]
    You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'MINUTES' at line 1
    [/quote]

  9. [!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]RewriteRule listing/(.+) /listing.php?type=$1 [/quote]

    Lets see if I can break it down a bit more for you.

    [code]listing/(.+)    /listing.php?type=$1[/code]

    That is mostly Regular Expressions (Regex). Notice I put a space in between. That is two sets of Regex.

    [code]listing/(.+)[/code]

    That first part will represent a url like so: [a href=\"http://www.site.com/listing/700\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.site.com/listing/700[/a]

    [code]/listing.php?type=$1[/code]

    That second part is what the url is converted to.

    [a href=\"http://www.site.com\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.site.com[/a] stays the same. /listing/ turns into listing.php. because the 700 is in the place of where the (.+) is in the .htaccess, it gets inserted where the $1 is. Everything else is filled in so you get the url:

    [a href=\"http://www.site.com/listing.php?type=700\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.site.com/listing.php?type=700[/a]
