Every few months or so, I like to send out an e-bulletin to forum members. However, the vBulletin built-in script just isn't robust enough as it constantly will time out every few pages. I've also tried sending mail directly from Mirosoft Outlook, but the sheer volume of emails made that …

Totalidea makes a program called MinimizerXP that minimizes ANY application to the system tray. Despite its name, it works on Windows 2000 as well as XP. Here's a link: http://www.totalidea.com/frameset-minixp.htm

I found that article pretty truthful. I used to have a Windows and Linux machine - I'd use Win as my default system and Lin for all of my schoolwork and to play around on. Since I got my mac, I'm in love. It's the best of both worlds :) …

Well we do have a contests forum. Perhaps a solving challenge where the first person to solve it could win a prize would be a very good idea :)

You say you need it so the display doesn't turn off while watching a movie? In Windows, just disable the screen saver. Also go into power preferences and don't turn your monitor off automatically.

If Page A has multiple links to Page B, does that show any more weight than a single link? Is Page A's PR spread thinner to every page it links to? Does Page B receive any more PR than it would have with only one link? Thanks!

Does anyone know what's going on with this July PR update? In the past, backlinks and PR were updated together. That doesn't seem to be the case this time. Not only that, I've heard some mention of a few sites fluctuating in PR lately in addition to some previously PR0 …

By default, all of the pages in an Invision forum are along the lines of index.php?showforum=XX and index.php?showtopic=XX This is not too search engine friendly because of the query strings in the URLs. It's better to have clean URLs such as /showforum/XX/ or /showforumXX.html I really don't have much experience …

As far as I know, it's industry standard to set a padding or a margin. Can't seem to find a way to do it :-/ Check out [url="http://www.stunicholls.myby.co.uk/ie/valign.html"]http://www.stunicholls.myby.co.uk/ie/valign.html[/url] though.

I wish I had taken a screenshot, but I just noticed a 728x90 leaderboard Google AdSense ad on one of these pages. And instead of the usual text "Ads by Google" it said "Ads by Goooooooogle" ;) Looks like someone's playin' around ;)

First of all, this is the wrong place to post questions. Second of all, we don't help with homework problems unless you show some effort on your part. Check out the C++ forum. Post your question there. Show us what you've done on it so far and where you're stuck. …

The most widely used languages vary with the type of programming you want to do. If it's application programming (i.e. commercial software) - there is C++, C#, Java, etc. If it's web development programming (i.e. software that powers interactive web sites such as this one), then PHP is a big …

Hey guys. I'm sorry for not replying to this thread sooner. I typed up a reply a few days ago, but I think I must have gotten sidetracked and never clicked the submit button. Duh. In any case, inscissor is completely correct. So, yeah, that's it :)

PHP version 5 is the latest version of PHP. PHP4 or PHP5 needs to be installed on the web server that executes the php code. If you're not serving web pages from your home machine, you don't need it.

Basically what I changed was make the alternating colors go horizontally instead of vertically. My reason for doing this was primarily for ease of reading - all the information about each thread is now separated from the next thread. I'd like to hear some other opinions please.
