except for americans, you know us, we always gotta be different than everybody else

doesnt matter to me, i can read it both ways

ill whip up a proto-type myspace page, but not make it public, see what everyone thinks. main reason i thought about that was 1: several pro-motorcyle racers have pages and seem to be quite popular, 2: while it may or may not(probably not) help with getting new members, some peeps might follow what were doing because they are on myspace all day long and its easy for them 3: all my friends on myspace can see it and understand what im doing when the doors closed and they hear the scream of an f1 engine

New update on the website

FLASHCHAT
Its a live chating system, just like a kind of MSN. Some seem to ask for that. Honestly, seems that MSN do a great job, but since it was asked, and i find one free, i configure it on the website. I tested it with Xzwins and Bilbo, works fine.

Please, this is still a public, be aware of wath you say on it, it may not be confidential. This is a free version, so im not supporting the server and brandwith of FlashChat.

Only registered driver will be able to see the button, its on home page, just beside the JOIN button.

Enjoy!

About Flash Chat, it would be nice from a driver that is exiting the chat room to just click at the X at left corner, this will let us know that you quit the room. Unless your name is still listed for 15minutes, then it show us that your no more in the room. No big deal, but would be nice from user.

Ok, majority of you know that Blast Chat is available on the website, for those who want to use the website to live chat instead of openining MSN or other. But if you went on it recently, you will notice some add (publicity) at the right corner of window. NAR is not suported by NO sponsor at all and dont receive money from none of them. This is an option that i cant control. Blast Chat is free of use. They share for free the brandwith and the server that host those chat forum. But to have it for free, you have to be victim of sponsor that is paying blastchat to let NAR to use it for free.

Hope all understand the situation. NAR is getting no money for that.

- The download page need to be review to a simple way of knowing what you need, and were to get it.
- As soon as i will have time, i will update some headers also
- I will try to find a chronos countdown for our next races.
- Stats have been all reseted to 'zero' for '07 season by Bilbo, and '06 season is available through 'archive' section.

If you have any suggestion of poll to run on the website for our league, just send me a PM (private message) for some idea or suggestion, i will soon get out of idea

Thanks.

Hi,

- I will try to find a chronos countdown for our next races.

Digged my library

Code: Select all

<?php

//CONFIGURE THE SCRIPT BELOW

// The number of the month 1-12 that your event occurs
$month=1;

//The number of the day 1-31 that your event occurs
$day=1;


//The 4 diget number for the year that your event occurs
$year=2007;

//How would you like the countdown to display?
// 1 = days
 //2 = hours
 //3 = minutes
 //4 = seconds
// default is to displa in days
$display = 1;


//DO NOT EDIT BELOW THIS LINE ----------------------
// ------------------------------------------------

$target = mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, $day, $year);
$today = time ();
$difference =($target-$today);
if ($display == 1) { print ((int) ($difference/86400)) . " days"; }
if ($display == 2) { print ((int) ($difference/3600)) . " hours"; }
if ($display == 3) { print ((int) ($difference/60)) . " minutes"; }
if ($display == 4) { print ((int) ($difference)) . " seconds"; }

?>
<hr>
<?php
// countdown function
// parameters: (year, month, day, hour, minute)
countdown(2010,1,1,0,0);

//--------------------------
// author: Louai Munajim
// website: www.elouai.com
//
// Note:
// Unix timestamp limitations 
// Date range is from 
// the year 1970 to 2038
//--------------------------
function countdown($year, $month, $day, $hour, $minute)
{
  // make a unix timestamp for the given date
  $the_countdown_date = mktime($hour, $minute, 0, $month, $day, $year, -1);

  // get current unix timestamp
  $today = time();

  $difference = $the_countdown_date - $today;
  if ($difference < 0) $difference = 0;

  $days_left = floor($difference/60/60/24);
  $hours_left = floor(($difference - $days_left*60*60*24)/60/60);
  $minutes_left = floor(($difference - $days_left*60*60*24 - $hours_left*60*60)/60);
  
  // OUTPUT
  //echo "Today's date ".date("F j, Y, g:i a")."<br/>";
  //echo "Countdown date ".date("F j, Y, g:i a",$the_countdown_date)."<br/>";
  echo $days_left." days ".$hours_left." hours ".$minutes_left." minutes";
}
?>

Output: http://87.118.100.29/countdown.php

An interesting poll is running on the website. Note that untill an admin call an official poll, all poll for now are just for the fun.

I change the cache time of poll from 24h to 30 days (thanks Bilbo). This will avoid someone to awnser day after day.

MESSAGE: WEBSITE TEMPORARY DOWN.
The website will display a white page for the next few hours. An update of server for 3x bigger one, and double of brandwith. It seem that only NAR site is no more loading on the net. The whole site is Ok, but just dont display after the upgrade. We will try to fix this tomorow with the provider. This bug should of not hapend, im shure it is minor, but still is causing us little problem.

Thank your for your understanding.

Flow · Post by **Flow** » 14 Mar 2007, 22:49

Ok, we have 30 website, and the only one that didnt suport the switch of new server is our NAR site. It is temporary switch back on the old server, and we will try to find what is the problem. It was not what we tought it was, and we cant put the fingher on the problem.

At least, it is online now.
