Hello

I have incorporated the latest version of XOOPS into my site and everything went perfectly. But on using the Narga Vault Guestbook module with the Zara X-Red theme the entries are not logging. The guestbook attempts to update but seems to fail.

The XOOPS portal is being brought into my site inside an iframe but that can't be the problem because using the portal on it's own is the same.

You can see what is occuring either through my site by clicking on the Guest Book link:

Hi

You could always install a 3rd party program that monitors your site. On my own i have 4 monitors running. One shows page loads, one unique visitors, one number of people online and the other is hidden. All of these are seperate to each other and are accessible by me at all times. They also give me a huge range of feedback about the site visitor. IP banning is a piece of cake with them if the users ip is static as everything is nicely logged.

By the way they are all free

.

Take a look at Statcounter below, which is probably all you will need:

Hi

I have attempted to open your site 2x so far and it is so painfully slow to load? Surely there is something wrong? There are a heck of a lot of pics and gifs etc but even so i don't think that would account for the slow loading. Though could well cause problems if all them pics and stuff are not optimised.

Hi

Highly valuable download here which you can use to create log files of any sites you want to monitor. Dead easy configuration too and runs off your own computer. And - free

Hi

Mozilla works well as has been stated but the differences in the way it reads coding is alarming:

-Colours can appear different.
-Simple html code can be misread and might not work. I have had instances where a page will not display until i have altered the name? Weird one that for sure.
-Site directories are ignored in some cases so that you need to alter the coding to state the actual http links.
-Hates all sorts of javascript but some will work. In a lot of cases when it does work it will display incorrectly.
-CSS scripts are again displayed incorrectly, but not always.
-Doesn't seem to understand certain code such as mathematical degrees so that it is very hard to alter things.

The list goes on and on

I find that having to accomodate Mozilla on my site a real pain. I forget about it half the time and i get something to work really well in IE and then i remember to test it. I find in many cases it is ignoring the code. If you visit my site you will see a little dot called 'Staff'. If you click on it it expands. This expansion can go on and on but i have stopped it on the first branch. In IE each button can have links so in effect i could run my site off it and it would look amazing. Mozilla? Ignores the angle coding - won't work off the links - pushes the expansion of the dot too far to the right etc. So another site design has to be chopped. All i allow the dot to do now is show the site developers names. I still have some messing about to do with it for Mozilla because one of the branch offs isn't displaying correctly as it has been pushed too far right.

I have used 'browser sniffing' to send Mozilla uses to another part of my site but it makes my job a heck of a lot more difficult.

It is not hard to design a site where all browser types are accomodated but once you start making you site run all sorts of coding then the limitations of Mozilla become very apparent.

Hi

Well what started as a easy XOOPS site has now developed into quite a complicated site. I have a need to display other sites in such a way that people remain on my site. This has led me to where i am now. 'This' being a javascript/html main site housed within frames (i have made the frame bars invisible), with XOOPS behind it. I am able to pull in XOOPS elements as need be, such as the 'Contact us' email section. As the site settles i will pull in various other elements. All very interesting. The 3 forums i have used are phpbb2 forums with subforum hacks but i will now introduce XMB forums as well for other interests. I will be turning the site far more towards interested computer uses soon; with the inclusion of Shareware as well. Various links are still a little confusing (resizing the forums for example) and i will be cleaning this up very soon.

Forgive the first bland page as this will alter somewhat soon, though i must admit i kinda like it.

As soon as the site settles i will start storing XOOPS files for download

Very sweet. There was a site that i visited not so long ago that was along these lines but they also ran a forum with very attractive Avatars. Huge appeal and it had thousands on the site at a time. Getting back to your site though - a real treat to look at - well done
