oh, yeah. I noticed after posting that your question (?) was pretty old and you were long past the point of caring.
Thanks for the welcome back.
I'll save the rest for PM's or another thread to avoid doing a hijack.

Greetings all.
That moon/earth shot is interesting. The page says it's taken from 1,000,000 miles away, so you might not notice any change in perspective on the moon. (It always shows the same side to us; so that's showing the "dark side" of the moon.)

I just tried an h265 encode and the results were very good. The suggestion is that it offers the same quality in half the filesize and it seems to do pretty much that. MKV also offers the same, but I've never found it user-friendly.
It's a good bit slower at converting though and the files will only work on updated players such as VLC, so I'll keep it by for now, but it looks to be the codec of the future.
Imagine youtube being able to halve the bandwidth it uses.

yeah i'm pretty pleased its working, but i'll keep an eye on it, and i'm going to keep logging possible spam to the database just in case, because i'm sure one day the spammers will adjust their methods! but for now, i'm rolling it out to all my sites.
another good anti spam measure i found is for where you put email addresses on pages, if you convert the address to unicode the email harvesters don't see it as an email, but it displays - and you can click on it and email - like normal!
so couch@couch.com would be couch@couch.com ( if you view source you'll see the unicode - otherwise you'll just see the email, but notice the forum didn't recognise it as an email so didn't link it! )
"Calbuco, a volcano in southern Chile that overlooks the city of puerto Montt erupted this week, the volcano emitted an ash plume that rose to approximately 33,00 feet, that’s 10 kilometers according to a Buenos Aires Observatory.
“The volcano erupted with little warning, prompting the Chilean Geological Survey and the Chilean Emergency Management Agency to declare a 12-mile (20-kilometer) exclusion zone around the mountain. At least 1,500 people in the area have been evacuated, amid fears of additional lava and the potential for mudflows down the mountain.” – Brian Clark Howard, National Geographic
