You could save the results of ip2long into your database then when you pull it out again run the data through long2ip. You also have the option to INET_NTOA to convert the IP to and from an int, then you can store it into an int unsigned. Check out the following stack overflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2542011/most-efficient-way-to-store-ip-address-in-mysql

What do you define as being "safe and perfect"? There are a number of ways you can check the IP, but not sure what you're trying to achieve.

As everyone else has already said, your image doesn't exist. If you use the Chrome inspector you can see that the following image doesn't exist. http://www.mafiaomerta.com/images/userbarsempty.png It looks to me like you've got two of the same class .bar_a in your CSS and I'd suggest combining them together and choosing one of the backgrounds. Also the whole of your statistics box is floated, so you'll need to float your bars as well. Delete any reference to .bar_a in your CSS and replace it with the following: .bar_a { background-image: url('/bar_a.png'); width: 150px; height: 12px; border: 0px solid #3e3e3e; float: left; } Read up about floats to get a better understanding: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_float.asp By doing this you should achieve the following result

All you really need to do is point your login form towards authenticate.php and make sure that the field names are correct. In McCodes case it uses username and password as the input names. So all you really need to do is change your <form> tag to include action="authenticate.php" like the following: <form action="authenticate.php" method="post"> Check out this if you want to understand more http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_forms.asp

My involvement is actually minimal with Ian's creation, it's going to really be just his creation with some of my ideas and graphics incorporated. Some really good names coming out of this, so much choice! Keep it going guys

Could check out fiverr there's loads of voice actors on there. One of them might have a style you're looking for.

Thanks for the recommendation. Much appreciated!

Send him a private message. No need to go so off topic!

Going to presume GRPG as that's what board this is posted within. You shouldn't need someone with experience they shouldn't be limited by the engine, obviously it would help though.

I think you should re-style some of the elements of bootstrap such as fonts and colours to more suit your game. Sites that use bootstrap tend to always look the same, which can be great in some instances but can cause confusion.

Thank you all! Congratulations Kyle! Great addition to the team. Were going to make you more involved and help push these boards forward. Expect hell! ;)

Looks really nice and clean! Need some love for mobile, should definitely make it responsive.

Thank you!

Would be good if you could supply an idea of budget and the sort of template you're after.

Think he hasn't updated my group yet.

Well this should be exciting! Hopefully I can help drive this board into a better, more enjoyable active state alongside the other staff members. Thank you for the position.

They're generally in active around here, I'll drop them a message to get them to check it.

Should post up some examples to seal the deal!

Which template did you buy exactly? Post a link or some screenshots. Is the original purpose of the theme to be used for a game, if it's not you'll have to work out where you want the various data to sit.

Kunal is in fact ColdBlooded, I will deal with this directly with you.

Can you provide proof of earnings please?

You can easily re-skin my system and make it seem completely custom, but it seems most of the community prefer an out of the box solution. A simple donation system is very easy to build though, providing you don't need extensive features there are numerous tutorials on the net. http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/using-paypals-instant-payment-notification-with-php/

I've got to agree with Guest on this, your approach is completely wrong for what I believe you're trying to achieve. You could potentially act as an agent for a number of coders and give them work to complete through your company, then take a small % of each job. This would be more appealing to developers. As Guest said it's still generally better for developers to complete the work themselves then outsource the graphics as part of the job for the client.

Feel free to PM me with a rough outline so I can get a feel of the idea, I've been looking for a little project to get stuck into.

The system is in bad need of an upgrade, was written before I had any idea of what optimization meant. It will run fine on smaller games with less traffic but otherwise it'll cause problems like this. Please contact me and I'll refund you, I don't have the time to upgrade this at the moment sadly.
