Hi, I'm new!

Hi everyone I am new here at these forums! I just wanted to say hello. First, I have experience in HTML, Perl, PHP, lil DHTML, lil XHTML, lil MySql, Graphic design, lil in 3-D modeling, and a lil in C++! Second I would appreciate it if everyone visited my site (and joined my forums, see sig, even if you don't post) for it is in dire need of some hits. I hope to post here alot! I will probably need a lot of help with scripts as I still get stuck with PHP and Perl so I would appreciate it if someone would tell me where I can post scripts to get help with them. Anyway I'll post more about me later G2g!

Hi Chansey,

Welcome to one of the best open source communities around !!

JD

thanks jdk!

Welcome Chansey! Always good to see someone so enthusiastic about joining the open source community!

The forums are divided into sections according to subject. Just hit the main page to scroll through the list with descriptions, or use the drop-down menu at the bottom of the page to do a "quick jump" from one forum to another.


As for posting scripts, you can post problem code chunks with your question, just use the "PHP" button in the bar at the top of the text box that you type your post in so it formats properly. And, if you haven't already, you should read this little intro:

Also, if you stumbled directly into the forums from a search engine or something like I did, check out the devshed.com page for some great articles on various computer subjects.

Hope we'll be hearing plenty more from you!

thanks ctb! i appreciate it, i'll use those forums!

you have to fix the links on your site wiht .txt
not everyone got a M$ browser that overlooks
faults like that

thanks for the heads up, i know though, i would do that except i am coming out with a new layout soon... just use the main page links they are all correct. once u r done hit the back button and choose a different section!

plz join forums! (don't know if i already said this)

it was the main page links i was refering to
mozilla shows your *.shtml.txt as plain text files,
not like ie that shows them as html files,
and surfing your page just with the sourcecode, is a bit annoying.

OMG i am soo sorry, for a while it seemed like my server would only allow .shtml.txt, i am changing everything to .shtml

now you can view it all

dang! for some reason my server only does .shtml.txt they used to do .shtml.....i don't know what happend, i guess i'll email them...

Are you saving the files in notepad? If so, that's likely to be the problem. Notepad is inherently stupid and it always wants to add a .txt extension to all the files you save in it.

hi,

welcome to devshed forums. I'm kind of new here to.

If you need information generating more hits just drop me a line.

thanks ctb, i'll check to see if that is it!

In newer notepad versions you have to enter the filename you want, then select "All files" for type in the save dialog. Works for some reason that I don't quite see.

My theory realnowhereman:

Because the All Files type specifies a non-existent extension to save as (.* is the all files extension yet you'll note that you can't save with that extension). However, selecting anything else specifies a "real" extension like .txt. I assume the difference is that .txt can be appended to the filename (whether you like it or not), but .* cannot.
