Server downtime

As some may have noticed, the forum was completely inaccessible for about 5-6 hours today. This was due to the server that hosts The Packs Den (amongst many other websites, such as those owned by other people as well; thus "shared hosting") being dysfunctional and most likely taken down fo...

Re: No site icon? D=

Silly little me; I can't believe I hadn't thought about adding a favicon which should be relatively easy considering the simplicity of the logo (or at least the base of the logo). Just need to poke around with making a ICO or otherwise a PNG, wondering if I should even have transparency to the logo..

Re: The perfect reason to hate javascript

How do you fix javascript problems on your computer? Yahoo keeps telling me I don't have javascript enabled when I try to star questions. I've gone to Internet Options>Security and all the appropriate boxes seem to be checked. I can't add contacts, block users, or browse categories to place my ques...

Re: Most users ever online

Well consider in the first place the currently set "record" is due to spambots and/or browsers ignoring cookies which kick up a bunch of fake sessions which looks all like a bunch of users. Otherwise phpBB3 compensates for bots like Google that don't keep cookies (just by noticing their 'u...

Re: The perfect reason to hate javascript

I'm using Java's "Writer" setup. It works as well as Word, only without all the little glitches that Word likes to come up with in the middle of something you''re doing. So, Java can't be all bad... That's actually Java, not Javascript. I believe you're referring to OpenOffice.org Writer ...

Re: The perfect reason to hate javascript

All of you are thinking of Javascript in a Web 1.0 sense, where it has the most foolish nature just to make annoying images follow your cursor, or to animate text, or make "cute" little snowflakes gracefully go down the page. But Javascript has become for far more useful (AJAX, Comet, etc)...

Re: Restructure The Pack forums?

Our group still needs to decide on a final draft of the sections that will remain. That's basically the only holdback for me as well, is waiting for something to be mutually accepted upon. Otherwise I could rearrange it all, and even do a DB backup prior just in worst ever case scenario. Overall it...

Re: Is this board too strict?

The regulations are just to maintain social order. Additionally, they're guidelines , not rules . So it doesn't mean we'll just come after you and just randomly maul you with a baseball bat if you don't abide, it just means we discourage such things to occur. And by disobeying such guidelines that y...

Re: Just what does that big old Moon do, anyhow?

My personal view on the affects of the moon are mainly along the lines of the moon not having some mystical force or whatever as typical myth portrays. I just view it whereas the moon just makes it more tempting to shift. Otherwise I do agree with your statement in regards of vision as I don't reall...
