Guys, thanks for the replies and info. Am now putting into practice your advice. Going to run with Wordpress as it does seem the most user friendly for a new learner like me and can get the job done. Just going down the road of trying to make it more secure by moving the wp-config.php file...

Spent the last few weeks trying out various CMS's in order to get a website up. Also looked at static HTML website route but for me I think CMS is the way to go. So having settled on 2 few front runners for now, WordPress, Cement5, Im finding the more I learn about each one the more questions...

Could someone improve on my current logo or sugest a better design. My logo creation skills are limited. This was the best I could come up with. Each time I tried to get it looking more polished the worse it got. The theme needs to reflect the vehicle breakdown industry, so I included...

Thanks for that list. Found myself a UK host. Connection and speed seem fine now.

My faith has been restored in Virgin Media even though at moment I still have the problem. Spoke to a couple of peope UK based in Customer Service and Technical. The technical after running some tests and finding no problem said he'd send out a new replacement modem for starters. Had this...

Well the Virgin Broadband service was working okay with IE with fast connection this morning again. And again lasted about 5 minutes. Rang the support again last night, and the person on other end of phone said he'd never had this problem before and would pass it on to his superiors. Then...

Funny thing for about 5 mins this morning IE7 could get to the site okay and page loading was very fast. That didn't last. What I don't understand is why a website would need this cache proxy in the browser anyway?

It's very frustrating getting any kind of answer off them when I ring. Even with the proxy settings the site doesn't always connect first time. Thing is I could move hosts and still end up with similar problem next week. Talking of the host company, do you think this is causing Virgin Media a...

Moved to new host about 4 weeks ago. No problems connecting till this week. New host helped but said they could not see the problem. I can connect with the proxy settings but not with default settings.

Hello bledd The forum has been open for about 3 week, plus I have another site for around 2 years. No previous problems with either till I moved to this new host, and these current problems only occurred in last week or so. Friend of mine on Tesco ADSL has no problems reaching forum with...

That page not showing any issues in West MIdlands area. I have IE 7 on default setting and still no connect. You say Virgin will fix any issue, I suspect they will, but is this a Virgin Media problem I have or the way the Hosting company are set up?

Hope someone can help as Virgin Media support just left me more confused. One minute I had no trouble connecting to my site then the next minute my browser would just sit there doing nothing then time out. Friend of mine on Tesco ADSL can connect to site with no problem at all. Phoned Virgin...

My budget around £300. Already have a PC. The Laptop would only need to meet the above criteria. No games will be played on it.

Note: Battery life won't be an issue as the mains will be used when watching media.

I'm considering buying my first laptop in a few weeks. I've done a search on google but cannot seem to get any answers that are right for my questions, so thought I'd give it a go here in the forum. Requirements for the laptop. Surfing internet and watching films via hardrive or dvd. 17...

Yes, I may even upgrade from my trusty 9600 bps modem to broadband/cable for the multi player side of things. :D Funny thing with keeping the same card all these years is that I didn't really notice the slowdown that much. Just kept turning things off and lowering the screen resolution...

I was struggling a little with the old card, new one even if all the settings aren't maxed on the newer games should still look and run a lot nicer. Apart from COH, I'm steering clear of the newer game releases. Some great bargains to be had that will run okay on my P4. Brought a C&C...

Current card Geforce 2 with 64 meg, second hand when I got it more than 5 years or more ago. Served me well though :) Just removed it and formated drive to get rid of old drivers. Just using on board graphics atm.

Thanks for the drivers tip. Yes, I'll have a go with those 3d mark scores. (if I can work out how it's done :) )

Well I plumped for the Leadtek 7600 GT in the end. :) http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-088-LT At the price and along with all the good reviews it's had I just couldn't resist it. Should give my P4 a new leash of life without breaking the bank. Should arrive via...
