Please check www.richardvonsaal.com/test/index.html

 

The gap is about 2 pixels high directly beneath the big image, and on
top of the footer div.

Stylesheet www.richardvonsaal.com/test/styles.html

 

I'm tearing hair at this point. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Another question: why is it that the .png file shows a white background
in older versions of IE? Is it because it hadn't adapted to this newer
file type? Should I not use the .png file type yet?

Thanks in advance,

Kristine

RE: [WSG] The mystery gap issue

2008-11-11 Thread Martin Andres
Good Day!

 

You have set the 'height' and 'overflow' on your #ubercontainer layer.
The bottom footer is taller then the fixed height.

The 2 pixel gap is actually the copyright info that is cut off.

 

Simple fix: Just removed the height from the #ubsercontainer.

RE: [WSG] Question on servers and Email campaign

2008-11-11 Thread Graphics Web Designing, LLC
I am sorry to ask this question but I am very curious as to how others feel 
about this.

I have a client that is purchasing E-mail listings from a company called 
expedia mail and I
Was called and asked for my server's root access information so that they can 
download their
Software onto my server for my clients email campaign.

I refuse to give anyone access to MY server let alone my root access.

Am I being rude and uncooperative on this or am I right?

According to the lady I spoke with she claims that I am uncooperative and that 
they have many
Companies give out there root access information to their servers.

I just can NOT put my other clients at risk and give some other company access 
to my server 
Where they have full access to my server and all of my clients and my servers 
information and in 
Addition they can do as they please once I give them my root access information.

Again, I would like to thank all for reading this post and I do hope this is 
not against WSG standards. 
But I am really needing confirmation that I am not losing it and that I was 
right in protecting
My clients as well as my server.

Hmm,

strange that they could not write software that either:
a) could be installed with out requiring root access, say a restricted 
user account specifically for this software

or
b) they can't provide you with instructions how to do it yourself.

RE: [WSG] Question on servers and Email campaign

2008-11-11 Thread Thiru Yoganathan
Hi Sherri

I think you have done the right thing, giving away root access means you 
possibly could become quite vulnerable.I think.

But I am pretty sure this person you are speaking with is talking rubbish when 
she says others have given access.

Mind you, to at least keep a positive relationship. I am pretty sure you can 
write some software basically allowing some form of restricted access to a 
particular user name and login. This means you can give them access to the 
areas which they need but keep them out of areas which are confidential.

I hope this helps

Cheers
TY

By the sounds of things they are a spam list vendor so they need to be
beaten with a clue stick anyway.

There is only one person who gets any kind of shell access on my servers
- thats me.  Clients get restricted sftp if they really need it - and
can justify it to me.

If your client insists on getting something like this done, set them up
with a box from slicehost.com or a mediatemple.net DV server.  Then they
can give root access to the box and if they are spamming people the rest
of your clients don't their mail blacklisted too.  Best get the client
to sign up for the service so if they get booted they are the ones
liable for any charges.

If your client doesn't understand the implications of the request, then
you are probably best off without them.

RE: [WSG] Question on servers and Email campaign

2008-11-11 Thread David Fuller :: magickweb
Sherri hey..

I agree with Thiru on that - you should NEVER give out your root access to
anybody... Its far 2 risky...

There are 2 alternatives.

Either a) set up a normal user account with SSH access (this would give them
access to their area of the server only) OR
b) Research the software and install it yourself (and charge the client
appropriately for your time)

I hope they help

Hi Sherri

I think you have done the right thing, giving away root access means you
possibly could become quite vulnerable.I think.

But I am pretty sure this person you are speaking with is talking rubbish
when she says others have given access.

Mind you, to at least keep a positive relationship. I am pretty sure you can
write some software basically allowing some form of restricted access to a
particular user name and login. This means you can give them access to the
areas which they need but keep them out of areas which are confidential.

I hope this helps

Cheers
TY

And so you should!!

You are right - if you have a business with a client, does that give  
him the right to demand the keys and security codes of your office? I  
don't think so! And how is this different?

Re: [WSG] Question on servers and Email campaign

2008-11-11 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Giving anyone outside your business root access to your sever is NOT 
wise at all.


I was previously sharing a  dedicaed server with a friend that turned 
out to be one of the largest bot farmers in Australia, and subsequently 
led the server being dDOS'd.


Giving these people root access leaves any other client's on the server 
at their mercy, and if your other client's find out, they could have 
ground to sue you, especially if they're under the impression or your 
contracted to provide secure hosting.


Personally I would report them to the spam cops, 'cos to me, that's what 
they look like to be. I bet their software is just a set of spam bots, 
and could possibly be used to infect site visitor''s systems from any of 
the sites you host. And therefore give them more bots to use to send spam.

Re: [WSG] Question on servers and Email campaign

2008-11-11 Thread Joe Ortenzi
As a professional I would advise your client to run a mil from this  
supplier. There are plenty of ways to send email marketing safely,  
securely, intelligently and usefully, like Campaign Monitor,  
mailbuild, and other conscientious, responsible mailers.


There is nothing more sinister than buying a mailing list that  
requires root access.

 I Was called and asked for my server's root access information so that they
 can download their Software onto my server for my clients email campaign.

that would be their software that sets up a mail relay for the
purposes of illegal spamming?
...no, that would just be me being paranoid.

You did right!
