Alors vous adorez utiliser les tabs dans Firefox afin d’ouvrir multiples sessions et sites Internet dans la même session Firefox mais… ca nous arrive à l’occasion de fermer un tab Firefox par erreur. Il n y a pas de problème! C’est possible de récupérer un tab Firefox fermé par erreur simplement en appuyant sur [ctrl][shift][t] sur le clavier. Voila, le tab est restauré au site Web avec l’historique et tout! Notez que vous pouvez le faire multiples fois si vous avez fermé plusieurs tabs.

Oui, je sais, c’est des onglets.. donc, remplacer le mot tab en haut avec “onglet”

PHPizabi, makers of one of the more feature-packed and popular social networking systems, announced earlier this afternoon a fix for a critical security flaw which could allow a malicious user to intercept the site owners MD5 password by exploiting a weakness in the usercomments.php script.

Although MD5 passwords are indeed encrypted, a commited cracker could decrypt the password using a powerful enough compute cluster and appropriate software.

Well, I’ve been definitely happy thus far working with the dual quad-core beast that the HP XW8400 Workstation is but … it came pre-installed with Windows Vista (32-bit) and it was one hair-pulling effort to try and get Windows XP to be installed on a second drive and have it visible and accessible.

Finally, I sort of managed it, but it wound up over writing the Windows Vista Boot Manager so… sigh, gotta fix that to boot back into the Vista installation on the C drive.

and all this to get a legal second copy of Windows XP on there… thanks Microsoft! I wonder how much is a specific HP XW8400 issue, with the SATA controller and all…

Gotta love IT.

If you run Invision Power Board (IPB) forum software on your website, you may run into the notorious “ibf_profile_portal_views.myi not found” or “missing” error… This is a bug related to the IPB Portal system and I’ve seen it creep up a few times since version 2.1.

While the recommended solution is obviously to submit a ticket with IPS support, this is what we’ve used as a solution for this problem.

Use at your own risk, and make sure everything is backed up first!

1. Connect to your forums’ IPB MySQL database using phpMyAdmin or your favourite MySQL management tool.
2. Drop the ibf_profile_portal_views table (if it exists) from your IPB MySQL database
3. Run the following SQL statement:

   CREATE TABLE ibf_profile_portal_views (
   views_member_id int(10) NOT NULL default ‘0′
   );

That should do the trick. Feel free to add comments or questions below.

Note that this has been tested on about 10-12 IPB 2.3.x forum systems that we manage.

JoomlaShack, the purveyor of very high quality Joomla Templates has announced their latest free Joomla Template; Jamba.

I haven’t played with Joomla 1.5 on any client sites for at least 8-10 months as I always found it being a bit too heavy (resource wise) in comparison with light weight CMS systems such as WordPress, but admittedly Joomla is a powerful framework for a more complex site.

If you do use Joomla, then JoomlaShack is definitely a top tier source for both free and reasonably priced professional Joomla templates.
