Thanks for the replies everyone. I've still not worked it out as I'm reconsidering how I want the site to work.

Hi folks,

I’m planning on building a site somewhat similar to a web hosting directory and was hoping to get some input/advice on the database design from all you coding gurus :P

I’d like to...

OK, thanks for replying.

I won't need a new mobo as well then no?

Also, am I right in thinking that a PCI-E 2.0 card will work in a normal PCI-E slot?

The other items are the usual; dvd&cd writer, network card, RAM. The only exception is it has 2 HDD's.

Hi folks,

The day before last my Compaq wouldn't boot up :( After much troubleshooting I believe I have found the problem; a dead graphics card.

I put the graphics card from my DELL into the...

Well, it seems to have stopped now. I removed all R0 and R1 entries and unchecked an option to check for updates in Download Accelerator Plus and it seems to have sorted the problem.

Thanks for...

Hi folks, hope you're doing well :)

I need your help. I have this really annoying thing happening on my computer that I can't seem to stop.

Whenever I start Windows XP, this...

That's just it, the 2nd hdd was supposed to be for backups. I've learnt my lesson now and plan on purchasing proper backup software and will run daily backups between my two computers.

I've not...

If I do this will I lose the info on the disk?

I've attached a screen shot of the Disk Management tool.
As you can see, it only shows the second hdd below the column list.

I think I might know why it's not listed correctly, but am unsure how...

Hi folks, I need your help.

A few days ago my system died. I had to reinstall WinXP. Previous to this I had installed a second (IDE) hard drive. Since the reinstall it's not showing up as a drive...

I forgot to ask. What is that PCI Express slot used for so?

Thanks for the reply. I really would have thought that new computers would at least come with an AGP slot. Surely it's not that expensive to include!

But you're right... lesson for the future :)

Thanks for the replies folks. Much appreciated :)

Just do a search on G for Your OS +mail server, replaceing Your OS with the OS you use :)

Exactly :)

To search the Articles table for the user query:
Create the search form giving the search field a name. You can set the form method to GET or POST. I'd use GET.
<form name="sitesearch"...

Do you know how to retrieve the Y or N value from the database?

Can you believe it's been six weeks today since a technician came and took away the mobo and it still hasn't been repaired and returned!!

I bought a new PC in the mean time :D Also, last week I...

Hi all,

I bought this Dell Dimension 3100 (http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products/features.aspx/desktops_Q2_W8_dimen_3100c_D073C5A?c=ie&cs=iedhs1&l=en&s=dhs) last week, but it has one of those...

First off, sorry if this is the wrong forum to post this. Please move if so :)

I bought a second PC a week ago which I plan on using as my main PC. Now I want to play around with different OS's on...

Turns out there is a problem with the motherboard. Now it has to be sent to the UK for repairs, so I have to do without my desktop for at least two more weeks :(

Will do. Thanks for agreeing to help me out. I must really read up on hardware components :)

It's a store bought pc. I just checked and it turns out I took out a coverplan :) Looks like I'll be ringing them tomorrow looking for a replacement part (which ever is busted).

Thanks for the response. When I listen I can hear the psu fan spinning. Is that normal even if it's busted? Is the only solution to making absolutely sure it's the psu is to try another one? If it...

Last night after I shut down my computer, it started making a clicking noise (more so than a beeping noise). Now it won't start up :(

I'm not very hardware orientated, so I'm baffled as to what's...

Glad to hear it's working for you :)

Contact your host and ask them :)

No problem. Hope it works ok for everyone :)

There are two things that need mentioning:

1. In the includes/functions_forumlist.php file where I mention to find
$forumperms = $bbuserinfo['forumpermissions']["$forumid"]; and and above it...

I figured it was time that a revised edition of this tutorial be written up. So, I asked Dani if it was ok and well..... here it is :D

This revised edition includes how to make your forumhome,...

There is a slight error in the code above.

Where it reads:
$userinfo['where'] = "<a href=\"t$forumid-" . mod_rewrite_title($threadtitle) . ".html\" title=\"$threadpreview\">$threadtitle</a>";it...

Upgraded without any problems... thankfully :D

Hi,

For those of you having problems displaying sub-forums on your homepage here is the fix.

Open includes/functions_forumlist.php

Look for the line that reads (around line 527):
$forum =...
