    You've Got STDs! err... Mail!

    wow... and here I thought the worst STD idea ever was to present it as a birthday present... "don't worry honey, I already got you your present. It's HIV!" (said with a big smile...)

    clients.x10hosting.com security certificate?

    If the page is supposed to be secure (ie - an order page, etc...) it can still be secure if it has an invalid certificate. By secure, the browser is usually just referring to whether or not the information is being encrypted before it's sent out (address begins with https://). However, the...

    Is religion a valid argument in debate?

    The current thread running through off-topic on porn has me curious about everyone's opinion - Is religion a valid argument in a debate involving ethics or morals? I think most people agree that in a scientific debate, religion is a very poor argument. If we were discussing the age of the world...

    Kids Like Porn.

    I saw your comment about bible-bashing and 'what you're really trying to preach' as offensive, but I can deal. In the realms of attacking people online, that's quite mild. Fair enough. I can't speak for anyone other than myself, but I will openly admit that my religious beliefs define my views...

    Magician Site

    Very nice looking site, and easy to use. One thing to note though is at the bottom right of each page you list the copyright as belonging to both yourself and x10hosting. To the best of my knowledge x10hosting doesn't have any right to what we post on our pages, they just host it for us, so the...

    Kids Like Porn.

    @zen-r: it's a shame. Until your post there was actually no personal attacks in over 3 pages of posts. Everyone here has been completely open about where their views came from, so nothing was 'thinly-veiled' as you've put it, and aside from comments made about John Klyne's views from the first...

    JavaScript Code Recognisition

    As lhyman indirectly pointed out, yes, it is the Google Analytics code. While I agree with lhyman that if you're leeching a page then you're stealing someone else's work, I'll add this... if you're not trying to leech code off of somewhere, then it's perfectly safe to remove just that block of...

    Kids Like Porn.

    @johnklyne - I appreciate the openness. It's not often people will say things like what you've said in such a public forum. As for me, my parents gave me a book instead of "the talk". ("The 'What's Happening to My Body' Book for Boys" to be specific!). They suplemented the book with random...

    Small proxy server alowed??

    Not sure about whether or not the proxy script would be allowable, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be allowed for the purpose you indicated. x10 generally disallows anything that could be seen as illegal or that could bring on a lawsuit against them :biggrin:

    Kids Like Porn.

    That's why I feel bad for my kids. I work with computers for a living. If they want to 'explore' the internet, they'll have to break through my attempts to stop them from looking at porn. Even then, at the very least I'll know what they found. I'm all for kids and young adults exploring on their...

    phpBB3

    To be honest, the first response is probably the one you'll find most useful. On your cPanel there should be a link towards the bottom called Fantastico. When you open up fantastico it will give you a list of scripts, including phpBB3, that it can install automatically for you. I installed...

    Reality

    Mostly he was just referring to himself. At this stage in his philosophy he was more trying to prove that he was not the illusion in someone else's dream. Once he proved to himself that he did in fact exist, he then continued on to determine what else he could verify as existing outside of his...

    Is it alright?

    ok, after doing a little digging, have you tried using the AutoMOD program (click the link for the info page on it). Supposedly you can use it to automatically install any mod downloaded from phpBB's website. If you haven't yet I'll see if I can't confirm or deny it later today. Now that I've...

    Is it alright?

    your friend may be trustworthy, but who's to say that my friends are trustworthy? or descalzo's friends? Unfortunately the rules are in place because of the idiots/untrustworthy types, and the smart people / trustworthy types have to suffer for it. My best advice is this... set up an...

    Is it alright?

    hold on... there's nothing saying that he can't go into your phpbb3 admincp, just your cPanel. If he can make the changes he needs to make using just the admincp, then you're fine. In fact, it's not that hard to have him register for his own account and then give him admin rights on your phpbb3...

    Is it alright?

    runeps, what you're missing is the difference between 'getting help' and 'having someone else do it for you'. There's nothing wrong with getting help from someone. For example, I use phpbb3 as well. Unfortunately, I haven't really messed with things like modifications or playing with the...

    Is it alright?

    It's not that you can't have somone help you. The ToS is saying that you can't have someone doing the work for you. For example, if you ask here in the forums or on IRC "hey, how do I do this?" people can tell you how to do it, but then it's up to you to go and do it for youself on your own...

    Is x10 .htaccess Compatible?

    I'm guessing it didn't upload/save correctly. I use an .htaccess file to enforce my index file and to redirect from non-www to www and it works beautifully, and I can see the file from within File Manager and FTP. Try looking for the file using the opposite method (ie - if you used FTP to upload...

    Suspension for not logging in here?

    @posktova: there is a way around it, which I'm assuming is described in adam's blog post from the second post (I can't access that page through my work's firewalls). Pretty much, you can pay $3 to stop the inactivity timer and eliminate the need to login (I think that covers a year... can...
