any ideas??

Ben

To run kazaa, you must leep open a port or door that other computers can use across the internet to access Kazaa. Firewalls block this in order to prevent anyone dodging gaining access to the PC. For Kazaa, the port is number 1214. Your firewall's help file or internet site wilkl be able to tell you how to unblock that port.

Patricia

Hi pat,

To do thjis, you just need to type in the url ina different way:

Normally [ url ] http://www.smart.com [ / url ]
Displays the link as it is between the url tags.
e.g. http:www.smart.com

Using [ url = http://www.smart.com ] Smart Cars Rule!!! [ / url ]
will display the phrase "Smart cars rule !!!" as the link
e.g. Smart Cars Rule!!!

Using [ url = http://www.smart.com][ img ] http://tinyurl.com/2ehvh [ / img ] [ / url ] creates a clickable picture like this:

Hope this helps

Dear chris

I am an artist who wants to show off her art here (head growing bigger) but there ain't any on the internet. How can I post some here because I don't have a website to use to update it onto and forward it to the forum. How can I do this? Thank you for the cookie problem solved!

love eddie

LostSoul · 09 Apr 2004, 00:27

Thanx Chris.

Hi Chris

Still have major problems with computer.

We had it built 6 months ago and the company who did it have not given us any back up/original disks.

How can we search for viruses/crash the system and start from scratch without these?

We were going to buy a copy of windows ourself and install it - but we need to get rid of any problems and crash the system first.

PLEASE HELP - A DESPERATE FRIEND !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eddie, you need to find an image hosting site. http://www.villagephotos.com This is a nice one to start with.
Also, I suggest you take a look out for the Deviant Art website.

Also, if it's mainly furry art you're into, I may be able to provide a contact for someone who can help hosting it.

Hope this helps.

Ok, quick question here. How do I get pics to upload onto here? I know how to upload to my msn and stuff, but have no clue how to do it to get them on here

dottie · 15 May 2004, 15:38

Chris need your expertise, I have Spybot 2004 on my computer, which keeps telling me I don't have any problems, but I've still got masses of pop ups and spam, all over the place. This has only just started, I haven't downloaded anything. Help!

Everythings okay now

phew!!!!! as at 23.21pm

Heli · 27 May 2004, 12:36

Ok, my friend is trying to create a membership on this forum but she can't use her email address....she has a membership (red_ruby) but hasn't been able to get her confirmation email which will let her on.

What should she do??

**The Flying Mouse** · 27 May 2004, 14:12

Looks like Uncle Chris and Uncle Rob are being kept busy here

I'll try and answer Heli's question, as it's the only one I have any idea on (but i'll probablly be wrong anyway

)

Your friend needs to use her e mail address.
The e mail address is needed on this kind of forum as a means of identification.It's impossable to join this kind of forum without it.It's just the way the software works.

What is the problem with her e mail addy?
Is it that it's inactive or that she just can't view it?

If it's that her e mail address in invalid, then the account conformation e mail will be bounced back to webmastermlukfc.If this happens the account is automatically deleted.

If it's that she can't access her e mail address, then the conformation e mail will still be in her in box.She would need to find a way to access the e mail to activate the account.
If she tried to register again with the same name, she would not be able to use the same name, as the account has still been created even though it hasn't been activated.

I believe it is possible to access an e mail address from another computer, but i'm afraid I haven't got a clue how it's done

Hopefully someone with a brain will be able to give you more details soon

.
If you still have a problem send a PM to R.I'm sure he'll be able to sort it out for you

Heli · 27 May 2004, 17:45

Well when I posted my trouble, she was trying to make another one because of some reason and she couldn't use her hotmail account. It said something like you cannot use a hotmail or yahoo address...???

Hi my brother tried to join the site recently but has been unable to log on as it keeps telling him he's been banned. He is using the user name 'wanderer'. He's emailed R but hasn't got any response at all. There is no reason why he should be banned as he's only just joined.

Dunno why the "Wanderer" account got on the banlist. Look like a software bug.
I do however know that I didn't receive any email regarding this.

Anyway, he's unbanned now.

Crystal Eyes · 17 Jun 2004, 20:16

Thanks R. Don't know what happened to the email then.

Be prepared for the Wanderer.

Rob The Badger · 05 Jul 2004, 20:44

The same as any other CD. But I'd have to know which program you're using.

airhead · 17 Jul 2004, 20:34

I built a website ( a webcomic) on microsoft word a while back and it has been ressurected a week back. How can i get it uploaded to the internet without costing any money?
