  1. Looks good to me.  What did you have to change to get it to work with Opera?
  2. I wrote my own... I can give you some code if you want... it's AJAX based.
  3. Pretty slick... but most desktop clients need a little more than that these days.  Those would only really be good for someone with basic needs.
  4. This would be a good place to use AJAX. 
  5. Use a real browser and you'll get real messages.  Opera has a wonderful JS debugger.
  6. .... you could look in the php.ini file.
  7. Haha... keep doing what you're doing.  Your name has come up ;)
  8. Ok... I think we've got things sorted out now.  One of the super mods accidentally removed all modify permissions.  That part should be fixed. As far as the font size, please let me know if that is still an issue, because no one touched that.
  9. I'm not quite sure what you're referring to, because the font size is fine in PHP Help and the time limit of 2 minutes is still in place.
  10. We are not using the Ad Management Mod to do this.  It is a hack and it will not be changed.  We can use clear:both in the style sheet to get around code blocks, but tables like the one you setup won't clear the ad. 
  11. [quote author=businessman332211 link=topic=122497.msg505327#msg505327 date=1168886495] peripherals(ports, ex cetera)? [/quote] I took that to mean that you were calling "ports" peripherals (which they are not).  Also, it's "et cetera"...
  12. [quote]Peripheral - A computer device, such as a CD-ROM drive or printer, that is not part of the essential computer, i.e., the memory and microprocessor. Peripheral devices can be external -- such as a mouse, keyboard, printer, monitor, external Zip drive or scanner -- or internal, such as a CD-ROM drive, CD-R drive or internal modem. Internal peripheral devices are often referred to as integrated peripherals.[/quote] Please don't use words that are outside of your vocabulary.
  13. No offense, but we don't delete content here, no matter what they are. The freelancing board has worked fine for now.  We're not about to do a bunch to that board unless it becomes a bigger issue.
  14. We can't help much without seeing the code.
  15. Very clean, very well laid out.  I'm not crazy about the random light bulb box hanging down over everything, but whatever. I also don't get the green... it doesn't fit the color scheme.  The underline on the menu pretty much disappears on hover... which I'm not crazy about either.  It would help to see more content.
  16. Glad it worked.  Can you post the code where you use the abort?
  17. I think you'd be better of using one object.  I'd be afraid of a memory leak using the other option because you're constantly creating instances of the object without destroying them.
  18. Umm... never heard of it being selective. [code]<?php print_r($_POST); ?>[/code] Verify what is being passed.
  19. I have to disagree.  Email is still used for the most part for things that letters used to be used for.  Until my recent job, I hadn't used an IM client for about 3 years (since I left college).  Email is still important for getting messages around.  If you disagree, I'll start forwarding you the 40-50 internal emails I get during an average day... and we're all pretty connected with IM clients as well.
  20. CV, I think you missed my point completely.  I'm not saying the web shouldn't have evolved or we shouldn't be making things pretty.  I'm saying we should use the medium for what it is designed for.  Email is for quick messages.  The web is for indepth articles.  I think confusing the two is wrong.
  21. I'd go for polling, but I've never had much experience with streaming. If you spilled some details on the type of data and how much, it might help us a little better. Keep in mind that if you poll the server every second, one request may not complete before the next one is made.  You better get friendly with the abort() function.
  22. Allow me to post the final code to better explain: [code]<?php function parse_data($data) { $mod_data = explode(' ', $data); for($i=0;$i<count($mod_data);$i++) { if(strpos($mod_data[$i], 'http://') === 0 && strlen($mod_data[$i]) > 10) $mod_data[$i] = substr($mod_data[$i], 7); if(strpos($mod_data[$i], 'www') === 0 || strpos($mod_data[$i], '.com') > 0 || strpos($mod_data[$i], '.net') > 0) $mod_data[$i] = '<a href="http://' . $mod_data[$i] . '" target="_blank">' . $mod_data[$i] . '</a>'; } $data = implode($mod_data, ' '); $lookfor = array(" :)", " :) ", ":) "); $data = str_replace($lookfor, ' <img src="Smileys/default/smile.gif" /> ', $data); $lookfor = array(" :(", " :( ", ":( "); $data = str_replace($lookfor, ' <img src="Smileys/default/cry.gif" /> ', $data); return $data; } ?>[/code]
  23. That sucks, but raises another possible valid point.  Why are people/companies sending large emails with what basically looks like a version of the website?  I'd say a large portion of users still view their mail on less than superb email clients and if you want me to see a bunch of pretty crap and spend time reading through stuff, why not just give me a link to your site? I used to get pissed off when I was on dialup and I'd get an email that was either big by itself or took forever to download content from the website to fill in the email and make it "pretty". I just don't understand the need to do it!
