going to watch the footy with a couple of cans i think
Posted by Eleventy7
oh yeah forgot bout the footy! just had some good news, arranged a consultation about having laser correction treatment on my eyes so i can get rid of my bastid contact lenses
Posted by evoke
my mate had that.. worked but he said the smell of burning flesh scared him
want rid of my glasses now - used to just have em for driving but since my last perscription f*cked my eyes up i need em all the time
Posted by Eamonn
how much it costing you Kev?
Posted by Eleventy7
yeah well i've worn glasses constantly from when i was 8 till 16, then contacts for the last 7 years, so it's about time i got rid. A bloke in our IT dept had it done to both eyes at same time coz he's too squeamish(you're only sposed to do one at a time, then the other a month or so later), and he said he didn't feel a thing, and he was up the pub a few hours later watchin footy!

bastid laptop shop have my laptop out of stockand won't be getting it for another week!

bastid bargainhost still haven't moved the tags for my site over to 1&1 and even haven't answered my last 5 requests for thewm to do so
plus looks like i wil have to set up phpadmin on 1&1 myslef - mixin et all is this normal with a host to set up ur own databases and phpadmin etc manually urself? dont mind tbh as it is good to learn but probably a little complex
Posted by arfur
On mine I click a button fill in a password and hey presto phpbb2.
What tags are you talking about you can keep bargainjokehost as your domainname peeps just change the nameservers to point to 1&1.
Posted by evoke
dunno m8 bargainhost need to change some tags so i can use guru4u.co.uk with 1&1 - until they do it im screwed
with 1&1 u have to manulayy set up phpbb or u can use their own forum liek u but i dont know what forum they provide.. ive emailed them. rather do it myself tho for peace of mind if i ver have to move again etc etc
also have to manually set up phpadmin and looks reasonably difficult tbh.. anyone here done it themselves?

the d/l from phpbb and upload to your site is easy. When I did it there were some questions I had on file locations but the configuration was done by the setup prog. Thn I found I could do it automatically through my host so then just pressed the button.
What 1&1 pakage are you on?
r/click open with then select wpad and click the always thingy

nite
Posted by evoke
the business package m8 as its the lowest thats supports mssql. the forum setup looks not to bad its the phpbb admin thats looks a bit more complex tbh.. the php editing would be the trickiest bit but im sure i can figure it out - fingers crossed
just wish bargainhostshite would move the tags so i could get started
Posted by arfur
i am starting to play with a forum for a site i manage. so far just changed the logo's. www.stalbansscouts.co.uk/forums

yeah u have to manually edit it to change the logo on phpbb - i had to when i lost xmb and installed phpbb2.02 (same way as u arfur on bargainhost) then 1 hour later the site went down for 13 days
just reading the phpbb manual installation instructions:
http://www.phpbb.com/documents.php?mode=install#quickinstall
dont look to bad to be honest but im guessing i will need phpadmin at some point to configure such things as changing the logo etc

@* evening... @mhorton- i manage to download dvdx.rar for my modded xbox, will i burn it directly to a cd-rw? At what speed? Thanks for the help
Posted by mixin
ed, to transfer the domian, you need to change nameservers.. this can be done if you have access to domain settings?
if bargain host dont let you have em.. send an email shouting telling them to change them to what 1&1 has said
