    Apple I-book?

    All you need is the Airport card. Once that is installed (which is very easy to do if you buy it separately), it will work with pretty much any router. No need for Apple's base station .

    Apple I-book?

    I have an iBook and Powermac G5 (and of course a PC) and I'm quite happy with both of my Macs. I'll probably be upgrading the iBook to a Powerbook later on in 2006. An iBook is well worth it. Pretty much everything you need is included in the box, however you may want to consider another mouse...

    Forum shutdown

    Much faster. Processing power along has nearly been tripled. Not all endusers will notice it, but from the backend everything is running a lot smoother. I do know that a few features of the board were not re enabled right away after the move. They *should* be all enabled now. -Thomas

    Some odd effect thecatsite is having on computer

    There may be something wrong with your default keyboard setting. I've noticed that in the past when using Windows XP, if you change the keyboard language, when you open a new window it reverts back to the previous language you are using. Anyways, I can confirm that this isn't caused by TCS...

    Question for the "techies" (computer idiot here)

    I use thumb drives (aka USB sticks) to carry around data all the time, but for a real backup they are useless. So that was a good move with choosing the HD. When you boot up, it may take a moment or two for the drive to spin up, which could add a few seconds onto your boot up - but otherwise it...

    internet access level3 causing major problems for everyone

    A lot of image/file servers are hosted using Cogent bandwidth (a low cost internet bandwidth provider). Because of this situation between Level 3 (another bandwidth provider) and Cogent, there are some issues out there causing some problems for people. (If you want me to go into more details...

    Just click on Thread Tools, and a little menu will drop down. From there just choose "Show Printable Version". It's a little bit hidden . -Thomas

    Help with Site???

    Since the account you have with Yahoo is offered for free, they must enforce some limits as everytime an image is viewed, it costs them money (as it requires bandwidth). However, there are quite a few free image hosting services out there, like photobucket.com (which was previously suggested)...

    Upgrading

    Actually, you don't need to have a PayPal account to make a payment through paypal. After you have been redirected to PayPal, just click on "If you do not currently have a PayPal account". From there you will be taken to a page where you can enter your credit card details like you would with any...

    Anyone else seeing this in IMO?

    Alright, I can confirm that I see the 2 posts. That is very odd and I cannot offer any exact explanation. I suspect that it could have to do with the forum software... Need a bit of time to figure it out . -Thomas

    too many images?

    Well I don't want to mislead anybody: Having 50 smilies in a post won't cause a problem for the server, but it will cause problems for the end user who is viewing the post as their computer might not be able to handle that many animations going at the same time. As I was going to delete that...

    Current Server Status

    As some people have noticed, pages may load slowly occasionally on the main TCS site, forums and meowhoo.com. TCS+Forums and Meowhoo are the 2 main sites on the "TCS Dedicated Server" (Yes, TCS has its own web server which serves out your page requests on a silver platter). Over the past 2-3...

    question about posting websites

    The forums (and the main site too) are scripted in PHP which allows for a dynamic website. The server then interpretes the code and generates the HTML for the page you are viewing. "BB" or "vB" code is just special simplified commands for forums to make things such as adding images and making...
