    the Internet in 2012

    For all the conspiracy theorists in this thread... Think about it. The economies of most of the world have become dependent on the internet and e commerce. Shut down the web now or even go with a pay-TV model, and we'll see a world wide economy that makes this mess we're in now look like...

    myBB or phpBB?

    I voted for phpBB because that is what I have experience with. The forums at phpbb are a great resource and the Mods database for phpBB3 is growing steadily. I have no idea what is involved with myBB, but may look into it and do a comparison one of these days. For now however I like all the...

    The battle of the web browsers

    My primary browser is FireFox. For brainless stuff like playing around on Facebook, I now use Chrome, just because it's quick. Feature-wise, with all of the addon's available for FF, it is the ultimate extensible browser. I never could stand IE. Opera, back when I looked at it, charged for...

    Why Opera is not So popular being the coolest browser?

    I looked at Opera a couple years back while trying to find an alternative to IE. At that point, if I recall correctly, Firefox was free and Opera charged for it's full-feature browser. That got me leaning toward Firefox. Once I started adding plug-ins, changed the skin and kept up with FF...

    X10hosting Forum Activity Requirement issues

    I at minimum check in on the announcements and the Service alerts forums each time I visit, and have not had any problems so far (just over a month). Then again, I usually end up posting something here and there too.

    Hi all

    Thanks Adam, One of the very first things I did was to subscribe to the service alerts forum. If there is going to be a planned outage, I want to let my users know ahead of time. If there is an unplanned outage, I'll be able to inform them what happened after-the-fact, so that they feel like...

    Editors

    I found that the editor you use can mean the difference between having problems with a phpBB site and not having problems. I was using UltraEdit, and for some reason it was inserting an unprintable character at the beginning of the file, which I could not remove. This caused an error on the...

    Hi all

    My name is Joe, and I'm big into fishing and hunting. I joined x10hosting to host a phpBB3 fishing forum for folks in Upstate NY who also enjoy the great outdoors. It's a hobby, so I wanted a free host. I tried multiple free hosting sites, and finally landed here at x10hosting because you...
