How can I fix the buffering on videos that play in flash players like those on YouTube? 

by Guest Geek on November 3, 2009

Q: Whenever I try to down load a video either from email, YouTube or another source I get a white circle as if loading and then it stops and plays six seconds of video and the circle of lights go on again. Once that is done, the video plays for another six seconds and the procedure starts all over again.

 
 

Is there anyway for me to take over an abandoned website? 

by Guest Geek on November 1, 2009

Q: I’ve discovered a website that appears to have been abandoned since 2003. However, the domain name is active until 2015. I have tried contacting the owner but I received no reply. Is there any way for me to commandeer, take over, the site? I would use my own domain name.

 
 

How would I go about creating a life chat support page for my website? 

by Guest Geek on October 25, 2009

Q: I am considering putting a live support page on my almost-completely-php site. I have worked with system-style (analysis, antivirus engineering etc) programming for close to 10 years and am most familiar with VB type of chat clients. I know that ajax is required for something like this, but do not know how to build something that is just a basic chat system with a send button, sender name and time, and 2 colors for client and staff. Also, what about creating a time-out function on the page? I did download a trial version of something but it came with a lot of bells and whistles and not even the owners of this package could get it set up all the way during the free trial.

Does ajax create a lot of overhead on the client side? I have unlimited bandwidth and space on my account, with a T3 connection, however, my target audience will most likely be on the lower end of about 6mb with a few maybe on dialup. FYI, this site is still being programmed, so the core information is yet to be started.

Can I use ajax to create a page that is like an auto-refreshing php code? For auditing purposes like a hit counter on my side (personal home computer, not the server), with much information displayed in a template?

Large questions, I know. I hope this isn’t out of the scope of just a Q&A site.

How can I find out when my website was first launched? 

by Guest Geek on October 7, 2009

Q: How can I find out when my website was FIRST launched? I know when the domain/service etc was bought. Original web designer is dead and all records lost. Archive.org is of no help. Can I find out when the website was “first viewable” by the public? Website is www.diamondaranchtexas.com. It has been re-designed since original in June of 2006. Domain and service was bought on 6-13-2006. That is not “proof” of when it was first put up so I am told. Yahoo says they have no record other than the purchase date.

What kind of software would I need for an online event alert website? 

by Guest Geek on September 22, 2009

Q: I would like to start a website where people can go to find out what events are going on near where they live. When they subscribe, they can put their zip code and/or city of choice into the system and they will get timely e-mail alerts as to what, where, when, who is going on in their chosen geographic location. What kind of software would this be called, to do that sort of thing?
