or simply use phplist

And 99% will bounce not be send even, webhosts have limits and free e-mail providers changed their acceptance levels, so to play safe you should not send more than 300 mails/hour

looks like a altered mccode version ported to the phpbb forum as core. I assume same security issues will be there as on mccode. There was once a rpg called rabitoshi if I recall correct for phpBB was actually pretty good. So I assume that the visual aspect is altering rabitoshi files with mccode content/scripts.

One remark, why using a free host for your blog ? Using a free host usually drops the value of a site, articles etc ... not really taken serious.

Open up your psd in Image Ready (part of Photoshop) Slice the image and save it as html for use in a webbrowser. Then select the "Slice Tool" (K) and slice it up the way you want. With the "Slice Select Tool" you are able to edit the slices afterwards (height, position,... When you are done, "File->Save Optimized" enter a name for the html file and save it

funny about the ton of complaints about the price, a bridge is relative simple to make yet majority isn't able to look beyond mccode ... so they never get a bridge for a decent forum engine. Personally I find the pricetag fair, yet I would have worked the other way around the custom templating would be the big price tag not the bridge itself.

Revamp is a wrong word choice, it's just to make people familiar with what they know (crime theme stuff) it's actually a project that has to be written from scratch. I'm busy on the core game script, once that is done should be easy to write modules (packages) for it and extend it to whatever theme there is. A crimes package could aswell be used on a space theme ... it's well like said making the community familiar with what they know.

The framework is part of the wbb lite package, seperate download of WCF doesn't exist afaik.

FlashDen is Changing its Name to ActiveDen For just over three fantastic years FlashDen has been the jewel in Envato's crown. Last week Adobe asked them to change their name and URL so that they would no longer contain the term 'Flash', which is a registered trademark of Adobe.   --- This is really interesting as there are hundreds of sites with the word Flash in it

CE was launched 2006-05-05 switched the data to MWG a month ago.

It isn't my code it's just some examples on a single function available with php, it all depends where to use it in what script , just read on the following and play with it and it shouldn't be difficult at all to implement it on your scripts ----> getimagesize()

Ah didn't think on that, but I believe that the getimagesize() function should be more than enough as it comes from the same data and it gives you additional power, no clue why a gif, jp, png should be excluded when the image width/height is known or I'm missing again something ....

The guide will be kinda a basic tutorial how and what , it will hold steps that a lot of people don't even know or do ... and it will not be focussed on the mccode game script. eg a part will be how to write a register/login, how a database structure could look like etc ...

best is to find another webhost (free) this one has loads of functionality turned off quote from their forums  

good point Some people don't like those banners but advertising banners have to be focussed on the market segment where they would be used. So where to find people interested in making browsergames, at games and from past experience non gaming banners are barely clicked at games while banners that hold a gaming element get clicked. So hence the reason why I went with a gaming style... Anyway as my photoshop knowledge is very limited, if members are willing to make some banners they are welcome.

I have a strong feeling that sqweebs.com will simply not run cronjobs, several posts on their forums of cronjobs not running. And no real surprise as it is a free webhost.

Ok I'm far from an expert photoshop wise, so if anyone can come up with ideas ... they are welcome So what do we need the reg banner sizes according IAB rules Here is an attempt from my side 468x60

Ok I made a folder for this purpose but the community will have to build the turorial, see it as a joined effort and everyone might learn from it

interesting concept found this snippet that could be used kinda for the above idea   <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- //Bandwidth Redirect ver:1.0 function setBandwidth(whichVal){ var expdate = new Date(); expdate.setTime(expdate.getTime() + (60*60*24*365)); document.cookie = 'setbandwidth=' + whichVal + '; expires=' + expdate.toGMTString() + '; path=/'; } BCt=new Date(); BCs=BCt.getTime(); function bandwidthDetect() { var args=bandwidthDetect.arguments; var el=(document.layers)?document.layers['Layer1'].document.Myimage1:document.Myimage1; if(el.complete){ BCt=new Date(); BCe=BCt.getTime(); BCd=(BCe-BCs)/1000; if(document.cookie.indexOf('setbandwidth=1')>=1) { location.href=args[1];}else if(document.cookie.indexOf('setbandwidth=2')>=1) {s location.href=args[2];}else if(BCd<args[0]){setBandwidth(1);location.href=args[1];}else if(BCd>=args[0]){setBandwidth(2);self.location.href=args[2];} } } //BRD_End //--> </script> </head> <body text="#333333" link="#0066CC" vlink="#0066CC" alink="#FF0000" onload="bandwidthDetect('4.5','http://www.url.com/fast.html','http://www.url.com/slow.html')"> <div id="Layer1" style="position:absolute; left:0px; top:0px; width:174px; height:60px; z-index:1; visibility: hidden"> [img=imagetoload.gif]</div> <div align="center"> Determining your connection speed.... </p> </div> </body> </html>

I'm trying to help you Immortalthug, don't see it as an attack. And I'm just like you trial/error and cursing more than once my PC (should be me instead of the PC) if something doesn't do what I want to do it. Anyway, What you did was not securing your game against any attack, you simply checked on the file extension. And that doesn't tell you if the file is actually a image or not it could still be malicious...

Doesn't check, it checks if the extension is what you have whitelisted. verifying if a img is eg   <?php $imageinfo = getimagesize($_FILES['uploadfile']['tmp_name']); if($imageinfo['mime'] != 'image/gif' && $imageinfo['mime'] != 'image/jpeg' && isset($imageinfo)) { echo 'Sorry, we only accept GIF and JPEG images'; exit(0); } ?>   Verifying extension , which doesn't check if it really is a image !!!   <?php $filename = strtolower($_FILES['uploadfile']['name']); $whitelist = array('jpg', 'png', 'gif', 'jpeg'); #example of white list $blacklist = array('php', 'php3', 'php4', 'phtml','exe'); #example of black list if(!in_array(end(explode('.', $fileName)), $whitelist)) { echo 'Invalid file type'; exit(0); } if(in_array(end(explode('.', $fileName)), $blacklist)) { echo 'Invalid file type'; exit(0); }   You could also secure the upload folder (where you store the images) so that no scripts can be executed from there through htaccess   AddHandler cgi-script .php .php3 .php4 .php5 .phtml .pl .py .jsp .asp .htm .shtml .sh .cgi Options -ExecCGI

Where do you check if it's actually an image ??? Looks like you didn't learn from [mccode v2.x] Auto-Admin Hack.

yea but like CETWG reveals 24% of browser game players are on dialup so a heavy page like yours will keep them away as it will take 15 seconds to load, while using the aprox standard of a single page 150Kb is only 3 seconds for them

oh I might be wrong alldepends what market segment you aim for but I tend to look at multiple factors and that includes peoples download speed as server bandwidth usage. eg CETWG stats 24.03% of the people voting at games is on dialup which is 56Kbps

that woks also , but what if 1000 players want's to have a img as username .... I was looking into a method for you how to auto generate a gif/jpg for the members and have it displayed as gif instead of a txt username (without going to edit the username field)
