[Merry Christmas everybody]

I was going to make a special Xmas announcement, but since you guys beat me to it:

 

Merry Christmas and happy new year.

[IE Conditional Comments not working?]

Not bad for a post I read four months ago!

 

No kidding.

[Suggestions and Questions]

Could you set it to allow redirects for certain sites?

 

I know many times you can tell browsers that certain websites are trusted.

[Serious security flaw found in IE]

On the Mac I will flip between Firefox and Safari. On PC I use Firefox but test on IE7.

 

Stefan

[Suggestions and Questions]

What browser are you using, and why?

 

... Given that there are plenty of browsers that redirect.

[The old forum is now in read-only mode.]

I am not sure if you have changed the link ? BUT I have got here so it 'Must be a GOOD link'

 

Merry Christmas Stefan - The Forum looks nice

Thanks and Merry Xmas to you too.

[Javascript Or Php]

Hi,

 

You don't need to further your Javascript, if you want to learn PHP or build a forum. Given that you know a little DOM, I would be moving into PHP:

 

www.killerphp.com

 

... And I would also look at JQuery for your continued exploration of Javascript. JQuery is a very popular Javascript/Ajax library that makes creating all kinds of Web 2.0 widgets really easy - there is no sense to building these things from scratch.

 

That brings me to my next point: don't build a forum for scratch! There are so many free open source forums out there, that it would be a classic case of 'reinventing the wheel', if you started to build a new forum.

 

I wrote about this on my PHP blog: how to build a content management system

 

Hope that helps.

There is one thing I can tell you ... Firefox on the Mac is terrible.

 

... Crashes all the time.

[Business of Web Design Podcast Series]

make the link to open in new window

Why?

[Suggestions and Questions]

Would it be possible to lose the redirect screen after posting? It would be so much nicer if the page just reloaded without the delay.

 

Hmmm, I looked at that, but the people who wrote this forum seem to recommend against it.

 

That said, the old forum made us wait 3 seconds, so this is much faster.

 

Stefan

[Suggestions and Questions]

I never realized how much I depended upon the recent and top thread view of the old forum until just now.

 

 

We do have 'New Posts' and 'Active Topics' as the top of the page that should satisfy that ... no?

 

Please remind me in the new year to look into putting the top 5 'active topics':

 

http://www.killersites.com/forums/search/recent/

 

... on the home page.

 

Stefan

[Suggestions and Questions]

H JBall,

 

Yes. That is something I'm going to take care of over the next couple of weeks.

 

As you probably know, we are in the middle of a total re-skin of all the killersites web sites. As we update the pages, these old links will be updated.

 

Thanks for pointing this out.

 

Stefan

[Serious security flaw found in IE]

Whoever dominates the market are going to get the bashing whether it be MS or Mozilla. Right now, it's MS.

 

As for hackers...what's the point in creating havoc with just the small market share software when you can make news exploiting the big boys!

 

True.

[Page not loading correctly the first time]

Welcome to the board.

 

You will need to post the relevant php code snippet ... showing us the rendered output of a PHP page is not going to help much.

 

... That is one reason why I removed your links.

[Starting a Web Design Business?]

[The old forum is now in read-only mode.]

Hi,

 

I just wanted to announce that the old forum is now in read-only mode.

 

... At least I think it should be!

 

 

If any of you catch anything going on in the old forum let me know.

 

Stefan

[Suggestion...edit topics]

Thanks Stefan!

 

No problem.

 

Man, what a nice smiley-face!

[We do not do forum reviews.]

what more is to say, it is the same post as the old forum, we do not review forums. Did the policy change?

No, I just missed the meaning of the post.

 

I modified the title just a touch so it is more easily understood at first glance.

[Photoshop Video Tutorials]

You can find a small collection of Photoshop videos on idea22.com. But most of our Photoshop videos will be posted right in this forum:

 

http://www.killersites.com/community/index.php?/forum/33-photoshop-cs2-cs3-and-cs4-videos/

 

In time we should be putting new videos on Photoshop... especially as it relates to web design.

 

Stefan

[We do not do forum reviews.]

Hi,

 

Can you provide a little more context to your post?

 

Stefa

[Link to the main killer site from forum]

I've found these links so it is settled

It will soon be done.

 

If I can find the time today or tomorrow, I will be updating everything.

 

Stefan

[Suggestion...edit topics]

You're doing great. I do think it would be good if new members can edit their posts for mistakes.

I agree. Done.

 

Stefan

[Suggestion...edit topics]

Yes, I can edit my post.

Thanks.

 

This is part of the process of tweaking the forum. I'm trying to find the balance between lessening spam versus keeping the forum usable.

[Question on how to hide/show divs onClick]

Also is there a good website tutorial on JavaScript/dreamweaver on showhide layers?

 

I cover Dreamweaver behaviors in my video tutorial on Dreamweaver CS3

 

Stefan

[Question on how to hide/show divs onClick]

Is Javascript the same as Action Script? I have a Action Script book kicking around that I could use to help me understand behaviors.

Hi,

 

As was said before, Actionscript is different, but they are both based on the same language, so learning Actionscript will help you with Javascript and vice versa.

 

You can learn basic Actionscript 2 here: www.killeractionscript.com

 

And you can learn the basics of Javascript here: Javascript Tutorial
