    Inactivity email reminder

    So of course I immediately get busy, forget to log in for a couple weeks (I normally logged in at least once a week but do not have any automated reminders), get suspended, and don't even notice for several days! Sheesh. DAISNAID.... Thank you, x10, for the near-painless self-unsuspension...

    Reputation Explained

    You can search for yourself, assuming that your username is relatively unique. (If for example you registered as "e", good luck! But searching for myself returns just my own row of the table.) And while I'm posting... I disagree with the idea of counting sheer volume of posts towards...

    Inactivity email reminder

    There are all kinds of ways to send yourself reminders. If you use Google Calendar, or have a Yahoo account, you can set up a repeating reminder. Outlook, iCal, etc. can set up recurring events. Chances are, your PHONE has a calendar that can set up repeating reminders, with a noise to get...

    notification before suspension

    Or if you have a Hotmail or Yahoo or Gmail account, those come with calendars too that you can use to set up reminders. Or if you have a taggable bookmark system, like the one on iGoogle, maybe you can tag which ones should be visited on what days. I do that mainly with web comic strips, but I...

    corrupted pages help

    Dave- If the HTML itself is OK, but the pages look wrong, it sounds like a CSS problem to me. All the more so if they look right elsewhere. Are you using external CSS styling, and if so, have you re-uploaded the CSS file(s)? (I'd look for myself, but your site is taking forever to come up...

    clients.x10hosting.com security certificate?

    Then there's the whole question of what it means to be "secure". As someone pointed out above, a "secure connection" is mainly about encrypting it to secure against eavesdroppers. As another person pointed out, certificates also help with *authentication*, i.e., making sure you're really...

    how do I move away from x10hosting i.e go to different host

    You don't. You either realize that x10 has the best free hosting you will ever find, or you use that to realize that their paid services must be really great too, so it's all you'll ever need. :biggrin: But seriously, should you ever decide to leave, then how to get your stuff onto a...

    What's chopin's Shared IP?

    You can find the IP address of any x10 server by doing, from your command line, "ping servername.x10hosting.com" (sans quotes). For instance: C:\> ping chopin.x10hosting.com PING chopin.x10hosting.com (216.245.205.67): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 216.245.205.67: icmp_seq=0 ttl=50 time=68.018 ms...

    Tomcat

    No Tomcat or any other Java here, IIRC. If anybody out there knows of a good free Java-supporting host, please post; that's one of the things I was hoping to practice here. I've found http://www.freejavahosting.org/ (but approval is up to the whim of the guy running it, so don't count on being...

    Re: Knowledge Base Writers Or perhaps just 8 times as verbose. :biggrin:

    probs with email

    They are now! :biggrin: But seriously, doesn't seem like it needs some kind of reply, especially since x10 has already hidden the functionality. (Maybe that's even *why*.) Just gotta wait for a fix. :sad:

    probs with email

    Stopgap- I've gotten some conflicting answers on catchall support for free accounts. First, they HAD been working, and stopped around last November. I filed a support ticket, and fedlerner said catchalls had been disabled. More recently, Corey commented in a different thread, that the...

    Sarcasm and "New Posts"

    Is that what you base your smilies on? :dunno: That's just :nuts:. I call:bsflag:. Yeah, it's:fawkdancetaking a break. :roflwerd: But really, :gives:. ;)

    Sarcasm and "New Posts"

    IMHO :rolleyes: is a bit closer to sarcasm specifically, while ;) is more of a general "just kidding". There's a definite danger of that. To avoid it, we obviously need to convert the entire forum system to plain text only. :rolleyes: (See what I mean? ;))

    SOAP Support on Free Servers

    If he does, then he'll have to find something else to wash out his mouth with! ;-) (yea, old-sk00l smilies!)

    McAfee warning for x10hosting.com

    Sounds rather labor-intensive, figuring out exactly why each otherwise OK site has links to dangerous sites. I don't know what their current process is, but maybe they can harness the community, and set up some kind of feedback mechanism for the public to use. For instance, they could have...

    Suspension for high-usage?

    catchalls Yes, I just saw that today, having returned from vacation. It seems to refer to disabling the "No local address filter". The ability to disable it, had itself been disabled, when I finally got the ASSP icon installed (it had been missing from my cpanel for a long time). There must...

    Suspension for high-usage?

    As have I, as you would see if you check out my past posts. Admittedly, not as voluminous as you, but pardon me for having a life! :drool: Edit: Oh, gee, I thought maybe you meant this one from early 2008, in which I suggested that.... :dunno:

    Suspension for high-usage?

    I log in every week (twice as often as required), and read at least the first several posts in every thread that looks the least bit relevant, including those with vague titles like "latest update", in Server Alerts and News & Announcements. If I still get taken by surprise, that doesn't speak...

    Suspension for high-usage?

    failure to communicate Ahem. I quote also from Corey's own post on June 2, the ONLY thing I could find about Cossacks accounts moving: "Absolut, Cossacks, Lotus, and Stoli will all be moved to new servers with double the memory, more disk space, and faster processors. The new servers will...
