OMG looks awesome...?

Great design... this design is going to make neowin so popular (not that it's already popular and the biggest site on the Internet) and the talk of the Internet for many months when it's lunched...

My hats off to the designer of the site as this is just outstanding craftsmanship and a great design...

A big thumbs up :punk:...

I do have an idea to add to the site which would be an asset to the site... as neowin uses the original script before Virtuanews which has been modified over the years by neowin and made it much better...

As I use Virtuanews as well... I have been planning to add an online and offline button to the script... The idea would be to add the online offline to the show topic next to the name of the person whom has replied to a news thread...

Could you take the script from IPB for online and offline users and add this to the bottom of global.php before "?" and then add the code to where you want this on the front-end of the site... Or would you have to write a script for this...

It would be a good idea...?

sure there are tons of us that know php, tons that have skill in photoshop and other programs, but that doesn't qualify you for hte job.

YOu have to work absolutely flawlessly with everyone else, no grudges, no whining, no complaining, no true slacking, dont leave emails unanswered, etc. Not everyone can dedicate themselves to a cause like this, may have school and or work, which severly inhibits all developement. i'm sure the neowin team would contact anyone they see fit to join and help.

First off.  I would like to thank the admins of this wonderful community for giving me the opportunity to do this.  I also would like to thank Long for coming up with such a wonderful design.  The community...  You all rock.  You are the ones that make this place what it is.  This one is for you.  I am not getting paid to do this.  I do this for the love of the community and for the love of web coding.

But most importantly...  Redmak.  You have helped me get this project to a place that I did not think I could get it to.  I was totally skeptical about XHTML 1.0 Strict when I started, but you stuck with me and helped me eliminate the issues and, together, we got the damn thing validated.  That rocks!  I really appreciate you being there for me and assisting me along the way.  You have made it really easy for me to get caught up in this and want to do it the best that I can.  I hope you get some free time from doing all this front-end stuff and can focus on doing what you do best.  That backend.  :)

Now.  Let me tell you straight up.  The main reason why I thought this would never happen is because I never thought that I would get the chance.  I have recently been "reborn" to web coding. (thanks Molly) Going for something this big ... something that the web standards community covets ... something I thought was totally out of my league.  COMPLIANCE.  Not just any compliance.  XHTML strict compliance.  That is a huge reason why I doubted myself in the early stages of this and I totally pulled something out that even I could never dream of (thanks again REDMAK!!). 

As for me being reborn to coding.  I was a table coder before.  ALL I could do was tables.  But as I learned about semantic coding by utilizing simple markup in the HTML and using CSS... I knew that I had to get my fire going again.  I knew that I could help the place I love.  I never really understood the power of CSS until now.  And I still do not know everything.  But, as it stands right now ... there is only ONE table on the entire mainpage.  And it used how tables should be used.  To display data.  If you look at the screenshot that is being attached you will see that this table holds the Microsoft Build Numbers content. :devil:

I gotta tell you now.  There are still some issues.  A few bugs are still open.  And a couple of things are not yet complete.  I would say it is at about 85% right now.

Some of what is yet to be completed:

- top news post area

- sidebar needs to be programmed more

- header for recent posts

- creating new news entry with valid markup output

- add title attributes to those links that are still missing it

- add browser detect and exclude out of date browsers such as ie5.0 -- will be sent to download page at ms

Some of the bugs:

- some sizing problems in ie5.5 due to the box model.  i will be installing the box model hack to eliminate this issue

- sometimes the recent posts bleed out of the background.  simple to eliminate by modifying the backend code

- need to fix border code for news posts -- remove from being inline and put in ext CSS

The worst bug was squashed I think...  I had a nasty scrolling bug inside of the news divs.  I had to rebuild the entire set of new posts.  But, it was for the best.  What you could do was put your mouse inside the news post heading and then drag the mouse down and the text would scroll out of view.  Weird stuff.

ANYWAYS....

Drumroll please.  Here it is.  The screenshot.  This is a shot of the live code.  Taken from Firefox.  But I can assure you that so far the page looks almost 100% the same in each browser... give or take some percent on the font ;)  Firefox, IE, Opera, Safari... all money.

Let me know what you think.

Sorry to sound a little rude but, was this site done by the same person because they don't half look similar...?

    • BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta

      By Copernic · Posted

      BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta by Razvan Serea When your computer is getting full, BleachBit quickly frees disk space. When your information is only your business, BleachBit guards your privacy. With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and more. Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source. BleachBit has many useful features: Delete your private files so completely that "even God can't read them" according to South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy. Simple operation: read the descriptions, check the boxes you want, click preview, and click delete. Multi-platform: Linux and Windows Free of charge and no money trail Free to share, learn, and modify (open source) No adware, spyware, malware, browser toolbars, or "value-added software" Translated to 64 languages besides American English Shred files to hide their contents and prevent data recovery Shred any file (such as a spreadsheet on your desktop) Overwrite free disk space to hide previously deleted files Portable app for Windows: run without installation Command line interface for scripting and automation CleanerML allows anyone to write a new cleaner using XML Automatically import and update winapp2.ini cleaner files (a separate download) giving Windows users access to 2500+ additional cleaners Frequent software updates with new features Going beyond standard deletion of files, BleachBit has several advanced cleaners: Clear the memory and swap on Linux Delete broken shortcuts on Linux Delete the Firefox URL history without deleting the whole file—with optional shredding Delete Linux localizations: delete languages you don't use. More powerful than localepurge and available on more Linux distributions. Clean APT for Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Linux Mint Find widely-scattered junk such as Thumbs.db and .DS_Store files. Execute yum clean for CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat to remove cached package data Delete Windows registry keys—often where MRU (most recently used) lists are stored Delete the OpenOffice.org recent documents list without deleting the whole Common.xcu file Overwrite free disk space to hide previously files Vacuum Firefox, Google Chrome, Liferea, Thunderbird, and Yum databases: shrink files without removing data to save space and improve speed Surgically remove private information from .ini and JSON configuration files and SQLite3 databases without deleting the whole file Overwrite data in SQLite3 before deleting it to prevent recovery (optional) BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta release notes: BleachBit 6.0.1 beta is now available for testing. This maintenance-focused release includes bug fixes, updated translations, and a range of safe enhancements. This release fixes a Windows security issue that could allow arbitrary file deletion during privileged cleaning (reported by Zeze with TeamT5). It also adds new cleaners (including a DNS cache cleaner, Claude Code, and Visual Studio Code forks), support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles, new deep scan options for developer directories like node_modules and venv, and safer, faster file shredding. All Platforms Added cleaners for Claude Code, DNS cache, and many Visual Studio Code forks. Added support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles. Chrome can now clean downloaded AI models. Deep Scan can optionally remove venv, __pycache__, node_modules, and .angular directories. Deep Scan is faster by skipping directories on the keep list. File shredding is safer, faster, and leaves fewer recoverable traces. Improved handling of cookies, symlinks, Unicode filenames, external processes, and configuration files. Improved Expert Mode warnings and long warning dialogs. Fixed crashes related to cleaner detection, invalid Unicode, and malformed cleaner data. Clipboard is now cleared automatically after shredding files via paste operations. Linux Added AppImage support. Added cleaners for Visual Studio Code, Codeium, Librewolf (.deb), Transmission (Flatpak), and Profanity. Improved Linux trash detection, including Snap-installed applications and mounted drives. Fixed Wayland root CLI issues and several Snap-related problems. Improved package dependencies, AppStream metadata, and desktop file handling. Fixed startup crashes when Python Requests is unavailable. Windows Fixed a security vulnerability that could allow arbitrary file deletion when cleaning with elevated privileges. Added %WindowsSystem% variable support. Improved clipboard clearing using native Windows APIs. Improved installer experience on unsupported Windows versions. Reduced installer size and improved application robustness. Fixed Unicode handling, filename anonymization, Git revision reporting, and splash screen stability.

      By Copernic · Posted

      DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).
