    HELP - from XP to Ubuntu

    I switched one of my computers to 8.04 and had no problems. It picked up everything on its own. Mind you, I had to click on the icon on the bar and tell it to use a wired connection and dhcp.

    Paid or Free Hosting

    I was using the free service for a few months until I built up a trust with x10. It didn't take long for the trust level to rise. I then took advantage of the "Newsletter Special". More hosting companies should learn from this. The free service is great when you're starting out and testing...

    Internet borders

    It's the same with Yahoo when you want to watch a hockey game that is being broadcast through them. If it's available in a certain region, it should be available everywhere. The advertisers should complain about being restricted too.

    The Most Important Factor In An RPG Game

    I like Starcraft and Age of Empires 2 and 3. I like the fact you can make your own games within them. I played Dune 2 for quite a while before Starcraft, but you just had to play the game as is. I play with the sound off, so music isn't important. Graphics are not important, although nice. I...

    Stanley Cup

    I remember the last time the Leafs won the cup. (really - look for "Age Range" within this "Crossfire" section) It's going to be between Detroit and Pittsburgh this year, with Pittsburgh winning it all. Detroit is a great team, but they're old and I think the younger legs will prevail.

    Social site we're hoping will be all the buzzz!

    Very nice. "Busy" sites, in my opinion, should be wider, and the content spread out a little. I'm on Facebook, and a few others, and also have a site like this of my own. I suggest you don't make it as diluted as Facebook. K.I.S.S. (keep it simple silly) Good luck.

    Please help a newbie

    A contact form is a great idea. I use the script at: http://www.onetforum.com/formmailer/ for my sites after starting to get spam. Overall, very nice. The only thing I might suggest, is changing the text font to something a little easier to read.

    Help me choose a logo for my site...

    To be honest, I like what you have online now. If you plan to change it, I think #4 would do.

    Got some spare time?

    These are exactly my thoughts too.

    Third time is a charm...I hope

    For those of you who have reviewed my site before (and still remember), the frames are gone, the blue is gone, and many other things have been completely overhauled. There is now a "Games" section, with over 40 games. (more to come later) I have added a few skins to my phpbb forums, as well as...

    Website creation

    I put "Buy and Manual", but I actually use available free scripts. (freeware) The scripts help me learn and I am able to modify them to my liking. I don't have the time to code from scratch.

    help with phpBB3!!!

    I don't know what you know or don't know. There is a nice place to generate a CSS/PHP site, either with 2 columns, with a header and footer, or just a 2 column version. Just play with it a bit until you get the look you want. http://www.maketemplate.com/ It's a good way to learn. I used it with...

    What scares you the most?

    Suggestion for your game: Have many stages, incorporating as many phobias as you can. You're bound to find something for everyone that way.

    frontpage or dreamweaver

    Sorry, but I didn't vote. I don't use anything like that any more. I'm strictly a Notepad person now. I find it a lot easier in the long run. If anything, I would like to find a simple text editor that can colour code the codes, without all the other bells and whistles.

    Solar Power Vs. Wind Power

    There are many ways of producing your own energy. Depending on where you live, you can use any or all of them. I would think that using more than one would help with the downfalls of just using one type. I don't think anyone has mentioned using water or hydro power. This can be useful if you...

    Money vs Happiness

    It is very easy for a rich person to become poor...Just give the money away. It's not so easy for a poor person to become rich. I think money can make people happier, but the person has to have a certain amount of happiness already.

    Poll for "Success of a Website"

    I was too late adding the poll - SORRY. There are many ways to measure the success of a website. Some people measure by the income it provides, while some may measure by how many visitors it attracts. Maybe it's just the pride of doing something you never thought you could do, or the fact your...

    How do you measure the success of a website?

    There are many ways to measure the success of a website. Some people measure by the income it provides, while some may measure by how many visitors it attracts. Maybe it's just the pride of doing something you never thought you could do, or the fact your peers like what you have done.
