Yes! You guys are great! I'll start transfering files now. Here's a laugh... Brinkster now advertises on your site! You saved me just in time, CrimsonCasio, otherwise I'd get pop-ups and banners so much that I'd lose all my traffic. I haven't seen my site for a long time... 120 unique visitors!

--- EDIT ---
Err... how do you make it go to Index when you type in dragonix.earthforge.com? Even with mysite.html it doesn't work and I accidently deleted that.

[Andy.Davies]

@ Genisis: make sure your home page is called index.htm NOT Index.htm, that was my problem.


if FTP counts, it will eventually drop because there will only be people adding a new game/program to their site, rather than uploading their entire site

[casiokingdom]

I must agree with Genesis, this hosting by Crimson is so much better than free hosting on the web.

regarding the mysite.html, just create another one. it's easy.

also you may also have to change Index.htm to index.html

[genesis]

Cool, will my site show up in earthforge.com? Now I have to make all my files in lowercase.

[casiokingdom]

Well, your site is working now. Make sure you make a description for the earthforge main page. Put the mysite.html file in your root directory

[huhn_m]

crimson, can you please give me an e-mail account?
I have web.de but sometimes i get e-mails with a 2 days delay and I can't even send them over
outlook / mozilla / kmail!

The 5 MB do they mean the incoming folder or do they mean i can append at max. 5 MB per message?

[Bob Vila]

The 5 MB do they mean the incoming folder or do they mean i can append at max. 5 MB per message?

i think it means that you cant have more than 5 mb sent to your indox

[CrimsonCasio]

yeah, its 5mb total but I can really give you more for now at least as I have tons of room left.

for everyone that doesn't know: if you make a html file called mysite.html anything you put in their will be visible on the earthforge main page.

[huhn_m]

so can you set up an account for me?

[CrimsonCasio]

sure, any prefrence as to what it is? (huhnm AT earthforge.com)

also, PM me a password.

[CrimsonCasio]

hey guys, check out the new web based version of my UCN Browser, click the UCF link in the navbar of my page

[CrimsonCasio]

hmm... I think andy is activly trying to be my polar opposite :




...I knew I shouldn't have mentioned that our sites covered exactly opposite subjects...



(my legions coming to destroy you :rlol: )
(cool effect huh?)

[CrimsonCasio]

ok, sorry to post so many times in a row, but I do have some relevent anouncements to make:

1) My page has undergone a massive update, take a look and tell me what you think... I went a little crazy with php and made functions to do everything those of you not using php in your sites are really missing out, I advise you try to learn the basics as it will save you so much time in the long run (the include statement is exceptionally handy).

2) The earthforge.com site has been updated to still show the table even if the page does not exist, I found a way to make it display the name of the site instead of the error as well.

3) I might be making the earthforge.com page the partner page, then it would be the responsibility of the new partner to add themselves instead of everyone else. if that is the case you will be required only to link to that page. I think I will provide some skining options so that you can make it look like its part of your page. (I will also probably move it to partners.earthforge.com so that I can use the main page for something else)

[casiokingdom]

for everyone that doesn't know: if you make a html file called mysite.html anything you put in their will be visible on the earthforge main page.

well, i know, as you have you can see by my large description

BTW: Your browser window is a bit small on your UCF browser.

[CrimsonCasio]

yeah, I'm thinking of having the CrimsonCasio thing at the top minimise itself after a few seconds (or just have it resizeable).

I'm considering having some music on my site, any opinions on that?

[Andy.Davies]

actually, ive had that Andy image for quite a long time, i just didnt use it cos it was the wrong colout for my site, i might get a white version.

oh and

NO MUSIC! unless it is off by defalt, and you can activate if you really want to....

[CrimsonCasio]

ah well, I will still send a army of smilies to pillage your site.

[CrimsonCasio]

I now have a guestbook on my site, sombody test it for me

[casiokingdom]

yeah, it works. I signed it.

BTW: Can you give me an advanced guestbook, please?

[Andy.Davies]

dont double post crimson i will sign ur guest book

[casiokingdom]

lol, admins should be setting the correct example. huhn_m, please have a word with Crimson for double posting.

[CrimsonCasio]

I posted that 8 hours later, have a look at the time stamp, the rule is 5 minutes. so

I actually put this up to see if you could use one, I dont know still cause it requires some php knowlege and it says you should know MySQL but i havent run into anything that uses that yet.

[huhn_m]

Crimson, Crimson, ...


Well he is mighty! Dont argue with him ...

(Maybe he has only changed the time stamp)

[genesis]

I've updated my site and I'm looking for the best layout that is easy to maintain. Right now, I'm constantly switching and changing files. How do you create a description for your site, is it mysite.html? My Flash banner isn't loading, where do you link the files in the description?

[CrimsonCasio]

@genisis: it is mysite.html and it has to be in the top level of your site, I'm not sure if flash will work though (I know php wont) because of the method i used to put all the pages together into one. i did that on purpose to keep things from slowing down too much

@everyone else: thats right, if you dont want your name changed to raving lunatic dont argue with me

btw: I cant change the time stamp

[Bob Vila]

hey crimson, how do i check my email again? i am on a different pc and dont know the site. i tried bobvila AT earthforge.com but it dont work...

[CrimsonCasio]

www.earthforge.com/mail-bob

[Bob Vila]

thanks, but i need to be able to send a 17 mb file, and the limit is only 2. can you do something about that for me?

[CrimsonCasio]

no... thats a built in thing.

[Bob Vila]

dang

[Andy.Davies]

upload the file to a web server (any, not nessasarily crimsons) and the give who-ever-it-is the URL for the file, simpl e huh?

[CrimsonCasio]

yeah, that would work.

[Bob Vila]

sounds good, thanks for the suggestion

[casiokingdom]

@everyone else: thats right, if you dont want your name changed to raving lunatic dont argue with me

Why don't you change my member title to it, as everyone thinks it's so funny. i'm stuck with it thx to you

[Bob Vila]

i wouldnt temp crimson

[Andy.Davies]

i wouldnt either, fun-loving-crimson!

[casiokingdom]

i am, as i don't care!

Anyway, [admin tone] this is getting off topic. subject closed (not topic)[/admin tone]

[huhn_m]

Back to the subject ... (at least close to it )

I figured out the the mailserver runs IMAP do
you find a port anywhere in your docs? This way i could at least read
the incoming via kmail.

[CrimsonCasio]

I'm going to send a e-mail off to my tech support, they will tell me how to it if it can be done.
