    WordPress writes the .htaccess file with the permalinks so changing the setting rewrites the WordPress section of the .htaccess file.

    Looks like all your WP stuff is in a folder called dm_wp - move everything to the site root, unzip this and upload migrate.php to the root of the site and visit migrate.php in your browser. Use the tool to replace

    and delete migrate.php when you're done.

    RD is right though. You will need to have fixed widths for all the menu items for this to work.

    wickywills reacted to user-removed in Interview - argh!   
    Ah, well having seen their site, not one single one of them is wearing a suit and only two guys out of what looks like 20/30 people are wearing jackets, and I assume they are the bosses. So yeah definitely not a suit!
     
    I would, judging by their site and no mention of the word interview, wear shoes, smart jeans, smart casual shirt. Probably don't even tuck it in, or if you do wear with a contrasting belt, so a brown belt with blue jeans etc.
     
    Good luck!

    To be honest, unless you were to tell us which agency this is, it's impossible to really say exactly. You need to look at their website and make a judgment. Read about them, see if you can find out who they are. If they have staff pictures on their site, great, you can gauge from those. If they're all wearing suits in their pictures then by all means wear a suit.
     
    A little bit of snooping around on social networks could give you some clues too.
     
    For example, you can see from their website that if you were going to an interview for this company, you'd 100% not wear a suit. You'd wear a smart casual shirt, smart jeans/chinos and leather shoes.
     
    Whereas with this company, you can spy some smart shirts and ties going on, so you'd at the very least wear a smart shirt with trousers, tie and shoes.
     
    So to be honest, it's down to you to identify this. Nobody can tell you, this is a big part of the interview and it's up to you to get it right. Personally, I think it's very hard to go wrong with any business if you wear trousers and a shirt....but not a suit. It's a good halfway house unlikely to alienate.
     
    Also, if you wear that, it's easy to make quick changes on the fly. You can bring a tie with you in your pocket easily that you can chuck on in the toilets if you see that everybody else has one on, or if you see that everyone is a bit more casual you can undo a couple of the top buttons on your shirt.

    wickywills reacted to user-removed in jQuery link hover fade   
    I just wouldn't bother using jQuery for a transition. I use CSS3 transitions instead.
     
    Sure, there's no IE support at the moment, but I don't think that matters too much, and will change with IE10. I don't think anybody bothers using jQuery for this sort of thing anymore.

    Kensha, stop giving bad advice. Internet Explorer is nothing to do with it.
     
    And IE5?! What planet are you on?
     
    Wicky: I can assure you with 100% confidence the problem is with your machine. It's just not going to be a problem that all of these websites, including Twitter etc, suddenly, coincidentally, posses, yet nobody else sees except you.
     
    You could try just removing all fonts except the default system fonts. Then re-install one by one until you find the problem font.
     
    You should also be able to "hide" fonts, so they aren't used but stay installed.
     
    You could also try system restore. If you can remember when the problem first occurred, you can restore your system to before that point - providing there's a restore point (which there should be).

    Do you have an online example so we can better see what's going on?
     
    I would also use a CSS image rollover instead of the above Javascript one, just to keep things clean

    wickywills got a reaction from dany123 in How to place a .swf file behind a transparent image?   
    In my experience, if you want Flash to be under a div, then you need to set both divs to absolute, then set the z-index as described above. Then you need to add a parameter in your Flash embed code like:
     
    name="wmode" value="transparent"
     
    hope that helps a bit, though as for getting Flash to be interactive behind a graphic, it can't be done by any sorcery I know of! The way I'd do it is as I described above (by editing the Flash file). Should be simple enough to do, even for a Flash novice

    Like it, though it doesn't display (for me anyway) correctly in Safari/Chrome (on windows), as the top navigation drops over the main image, though as you said, your still working on it so you might already know :-).
     
    Also, the font (Amaranth?) doesn't seem to display in anything other than IE (again, for me), though that's probably because you haven't converted the font to all formats in your 'font-face' in the CSS. If you upload your font to "font-squirrel", that will convert your font to all the formats you need.
     
    I would also increase the line-height of your main text a bit (starting "If so look no futher. My......"), just to stop it looking slightly crammed.
     
    Overall it's a good though :-)
     
    hope that helps
