captcha issues

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 20:42:01 -0400

hey guys, love the script.

i logged in fine upon install and did some updates, now today when i went to update, i had to go thru the captcha but nothing processed at all and i was left with a blank image, thereby making my login's unsuccessful.

any way to fix this with some code or even remove the captcha altogether? i have a low traffic blog that only i update.

Include comments in post

Tue, 25 Mar 2008 00:53:47 -0400

Rather than link to a separate page to view and post comments, I'd like to have comments included with each news post. How can I do this?

sql problem

Tue, 29 Jan 2008 09:24:52 -0500

Hi,

I've been receiving over 150 mails with the following error message :

Database error in Utopia News Pro:

Unable to connect to database host localhost
MySQL Error: User david already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections

MySQL Error Number: 1203

Date: January 29, 2008 03:07 PM

What could be the problem ? Why is USER DAVID mentionned in the error message. I am not currently logged under DAVID in the administration panel. Is there a way to set more max users if this is the origin of the problem. My Website : http://www.generationcable.net (it's in french).

Best Regards,

David

How to take off Link Underlines?

Tue, 01 Jan 2008 14:49:04 -0500

Specifically the link underlines in the headlines, They overlap my other headlines. Id prefer to just take them off but cant find out where or how.

This is from the show only headlines php.

heres my site right now it only shows one headline at top right (depending on when your viewing this) but when i did tests and had 5 the blue lines for link underlining where definitly overlapping the following headline.

I dont want to change the text size as its perfect for the spot its displayed in. Thanks

TEMPLATE UPDATE ERROR

Fri, 07 Dec 2007 11:30:27 -0500

Hi again,

I'm having another problem with UNP 1.0.4.

It's about the template section. I'm translating the whole thing to Spanish and when I want to update the news_newsbit_commentslink I get a server error:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, hostmaster@misdns.net and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Apache/2.0.52-CHS-1 (Unix) Server at saurom.com Port 80

I only get it when trying to update that one... the others are fine.
I'm not sure if I should ask for help here... I emailed my hosting provider as well, but it may be something to do with the code on the template.php file???

Thanks!

Issues with Avatars

Thu, 06 Dec 2007 16:44:54 -0500

The issue I am having is I have a few sites that use the Newpro and the main site of mine does not disply the avatars under the index site but if you go to /news/news.php it works fine I dont have the ability to use Cached mode due to the server doesnt allow it. Any help would be welcomed.

Problem with HEADLINES

Thu, 06 Dec 2007 14:04:52 -0500

Hi there!

I'm using the last version of UNP.

Everything's working fine at the moment, but i encountered a problem with the headlines. I think I know how to fix it, but I can't find the file containing the piece of code to change.

The thing is that when I click on any of the headlines, it goes to the index page of the site instead of the news page. I've noticed that when I roll over any of the links, the status bar displays the following (supposing the ID of the news to display is 5):

www.website.com/#unpnews5

I'm guessing it should actually be www.website.com/unp/news.php#unpnews5 (supposing the name of the folder containing UNP is called unp).

I'm not completely sure but I think I should change the outcoming code for the link to display and add "unp/news.php" before the string that gets the ID of the news???

If that's the case, where should I do that? I can't see anything in the headlines.php file. If not, could you let me know how to fix this little problem?

Thanks a lot!!

Including News

Tue, 27 Nov 2007 13:29:27 -0500

A friend of mine installed this on my HTML front page a while back but I deleted the front page and went with a portal for my forum as my "front page." I have it installed with it will not load with my portal.

If you load the HTML directly:

http://drugsplayground.com/styles/Arrow/...opia.shtml

The news is included, however, when I include utopia.shtml to load on my portal, it loads the header but not the news. http://www.drugsplayground.com

News

That's the coding to utopia.shtml. Like I said, the news loads when you load the straight document but when included in my portal, it doesn't load. There's a file called portal_body.html where aligns and loads all the included files that makes the portal:

And it goes on. I know it loads the document as it loads the news header but it doesn't load the news itself. Any ideas?

News text to float next to Image

Tue, 06 Nov 2007 14:51:26 -0500

I have to say that this Script is just Great, and easy to use as well. Thanks Brian.

My question is this, Is there a way to make the news text float next to the image instead of having it come after the image. Let me explain in Pictures.

Instead of having it look like this (http://www.whoiswho2008.com/news/comment...&newsid=14)

Can I Make it look like this? (http://praisedesign.com/article_with.jpg).

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
