Well as it's just you and me so far, the answer to that would be Slack! PM me your email address and I'll invite you to this team I've just created.

Hi both, Thanks for the replies! I have downloaded HipChat and had a poke around, it looks good. Just downloading Slack now to get a feel for it. Paul, I'd be happy to connect and give this group idea a go. Do you have a preference for communication channel?

I'd suggest you install Akismet or another spam filter to prevent this happening in future.

WooCommerce does let you create grouped products, where you can add one product to another (e.g. if building a computer, you can add a component to the order). You could also go down the route of setting it as a variable product, and letting them add the additional item as an add-on.

Unless you need some groovy post code based filtering, then the best way is probably to create a database of all the counties in your target region, let your users choose (select list) of counties they cover, then store the values (county ID) in an array in their user database record.

Bizarre, but thanks for posting the solution.

What exactly is the problem? Can't you just duplicate some of the code from the functions.php file to create 4 more widgets, e.g. register_sidebar called Home 5, Home 6, etc.?

Hey everyone, I've been an on/off member of this forum for quite a few years, and have enjoyed interacting with people and helping fix issues people come across! I also suffer from the same problem a lot of you do - isolation. I work in an office on my own, because I'm the only in-house member of staff. While this does give some much-needed peace, there is a certain interaction which I miss. On a more practical level, I also don't have the opportunity to bounce ideas and error check with peers. This has got me thinking about a solution - small group chats. I'm thinking of forming a small group (up to 6 max) web designers/developers with a slightly varied skillset and be part of an active chat group, maybe via a desktop client. It can be an always-on service (unless you switch it off!) whereby we can chat generally, ask advice on issues, or get help for certain problems. It should also reduce the isolation factor. Let me know what you guys think of this, and if anyone would be interested.

Hi there, Does anyone know of a why to provide a different theme to a mobile user? I'm already aware of WP-Touch, and I don't want to use responsive principles per se, I'm looking to see if it's possible to detect a mobile user and on the server-level send back a different theme. Any advice would be appreciated! Darren

Interesting, thanks. Do either of you know how they are able to get so much personal data? I wonder where it comes from and how they collect it all?

Yeah, showing company information I have seen before, usually because big companies use the same IP addresses, so it's not hard to compile a list, however identifying individuals (and giving their contact details) seems really far-fetched to me.

Hey, I came across this site promising to provide a site visitor's name, email, telephone, and more, by using their analytics package. Might be too good to be true, but I was wondering, how might this work? http://www.sharpspring.com/benefits Darren

That sounds promising. The database will be used to store 500,000 or more unique IDs, and I want a search query to search for a single unique ID, and then return either true or false. Any other data storage can be held in other tables I guess. Does that sound like it would be easy for MySQL to handle?

I'm going to be looking for a unique index amongst 500,000 records, just looking to see if it's there or not. Should be quite easy I hope?

Hi everyone, I'm hoping to get some advice from developers who have worked with databases that can handle many, many rows. I have a potential project which involves having a database with between half a million and maybe millions of codes. The database needs to be searchable quickly and without much noticeable lag. I'm used to working with PHP and MySQL, but I'm unsure whether MySQL can handle that many rows well. I've heard there are certain databases which are geared up to such large numbers of rows, but I'm not sure of where to start. Anyone have advice? Thanks!

This is actually a bad idea. That will fix the image at 20px from the top of the page, which is bad because there are a lot of images and when clicking on an image at the bottom, the large image will appear at the top and the user will need to scroll up.

Hi Huw, Nice site! Unfortunately I can't replace the problem you're describing. Once the page is loaded, if I hover over About's menu, then I see no pink colours, everything stays Aqua. Can you provide a screenshot? Darren

Hi Alan, Good job on the site so far! From what I can see, your Javascript gallery is setting the top position of your clicked-on images automatically. I've had a look and the top position was originally meant to be 20 pixels, however on my screen it's now 74 pixels. My guess is that to change the space at the top (the div called vlb6lightbox has a "top" CSS property which determines the space above it), you will either have some kind of variable you can set in the Javascript file, or you might have to dig around in the Javascript code and change it manually. Hope this helps, Darren

Hmm a wild guess, you tried making the link position:absolute/relative? If that doesn't work, try adding instead/as well a higher z-index, see if that works.

This is typical browser behaviour, and I don't think something you can change .gif' alt=':seas8:'>

I wish someone would tell the spammers that!

Different search engines will rank pages differently. How Google decides what to rank at the top and how Bing decides what to rank at the top are different, so you will often get different results over different search engines. To improve your pages ranking in a particular search engine, you will need to work on your site's Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), which is a very broad topic and requires a fair bit of research. If you have the budget, I recommend hiring an SEO company to look at this for you.

Well the source code can't by viewed by regular (View Source) means because you're right, the full comments are inserted by some Ajax function. It is likely that Javascript is adding the breaks in, although the real question is how do you get the breaks to show up first time? In your PHP code, how are you pulling in the comments? PHP can be tricky when it comes to breaks, new lines, return carriages, etc, and often you have to write specific functions to get it to keep the intended line breaks.

Hi Al, Outlook sometimes blocks images by default. You can enable it to download images, but it is also possible that it is refusing to do so for certain email senders / domain names. It would be a good idea to get your client to check Outlook's settings, and add your sender domain (and MailChimp image hosting domain) to their white/allow-list.

You tried either of these? http://htaccess.madewithlove.be/ http://martinmelin.se/rewrite-rule-tester/
