I think this is more a question of good software than hardware Badger. Anyone can post a set of binary digits as its all zeros and ones but making the screen go wide now thats something else.

good afternoon. Seems like I've missed things again.

WRT the screen size changing width, I often see this in forums if the dynamic pages are updated too fast for the webside to cope with.

The only way images can be changed is if someone has found a way to get moderator access on the forum itself or has FTP access to the image library on the server. might be worth checking out the updated security patches for known holes in the PHP software.

Hiya

I have a crazy day everyday. It is very exciting, the last week as been wonderful!

I'm going to the theatre tomorrow afternoon. I really enjoy going there. Some theatres are very spooky!

One of the nicest I have come across it the 'Oldham Coliseum'.
A really lovely little victorian theatre. It suppose to be haunted too.

The Alexandra Theatre in Birmingham has the reputation of being haunted too.

Best wishes Pat

I totaly agree look : - 11000011110001010011. but when it means something and its being used to translate into words as well as other things, i think this is a differant kettle of fish. As our Mr MP said he has only learnt the art of keyboard control since xmas. to use this kind of tech would take a little longer i feel, and to learn ip masking etc. I agree softwear/hardwear what ever, it had to be brought/ loaded etc. It would be great to hear what ..Janet.. had to say yesterday without giving to much away that is. Where is she today, i think she would have had something to say about all the dismissal that is going on.

ADMIN,

The phpBB site has a later version for download than you seem to be using (2.06 is out now vs 2.04) and there are patches available for that newer release as well.

Maybe also the obvious precaution of frequently changing your password to access the server - at least for now?

Badger, Janet sent me a private message yesterday and I sent a reply back but it has never been read. It's odd, because surely she would be following this board closely from her office during the day today. I know I would be no matter how busy they kept me.

Hiya Ekaterina (what a lovely name- Where is it from?)

Please let me know more about your ghosts and do you live local to Birmingham. Are they 3 friendly spirits, maybe Michael would like some friends.

Maybe we should start the first dating agency for ghosts!

New Section - Forum Board

Maybe we should have done this in the first place but wouldnt it be a good idea to try and separate the actual questions we have for Michael and use another area to just say hi or record links and information relevant to his story. There are some things like location and links people have posted that would be good to refer to in another section.

I know I find it a real pain going through the pages trying to even keep up is becoming a nightmare. If we kept this area just for specific questions and findings then maybe Michael and all of us could make more sense of all of this.

I know a lot of people have struck up a relationship with new found friends on here so I think an area separate from this would save us a lot of scrolling backwards and forwards. Its doing my head in LOL.

It takes NO effort at all to make the forums go wider than the normal page width. All you need to do is put in a long line of characters with NO spaces. Binary streams contain no spaces.

So if you put a string of say 90 letters with no spaces you will get the page to go wide. However I'm not going to do it because it makes the forum hard to read.

Hi Pat

not been here long - read the thread and then signed up to post a few replies to some of the posts.

Worked in Birmingham for over 10 years until December.
