I hear great things about Linode, IF you can get hosting through them...

But outside that, AVOID Tektonic.  They overload their servers.

I wouldn't actually stress so much on SCP.  Just look into how to use WinSCP.  It's a free software which is fairly simple and straight forward to use.  It operates very much like most FTP software out there, so if you know how to use that you'll be fine.

You probably should demonstrate some web-design skills though.

Hmm, it's definitely JS that's adding it, so my CSS fix probably won't do much (as it'd add it and probably enforce its own style in the process).

As I said in AIM, I see you're using jQuery, so you COULD use your own JS to combat it if you wanted to:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
 jQuery(document).ready(function() {
   jQuery('#attfc').hide();
 });
</script>


Which I'd add right before the </body> tag of the HTML.  You're other alternative is to just flat out find what's adding it and kill it.

Edit: As I mentioned in AIM, this is another script injecting this into your site:

Can you believe that one of those moron spammers (or likely a bot) actually registered twice off the same IP in the matter of a few hours???

L - M - F - A - O

Talk about making it obvious!

Nah, right now I'm in school and work a lot, so even when I'm online I don't have a ton of time to spend on things like this.  Try just adding CSS for that in your stylesheet, it looks like something being auto-added to the top of your page.  What you may try doing is adding this to your CSS file:

#attfc { display: none !important; }

Edit: Actually I don't see it anymore, but it looked like a div with ad content in it auto-added to the code.

Try setting your top/bottom margin of your body tag.

Edit: Actually, I ran some debugging tools on your HTML/CSS, try looking at the attfc CSS class.  That seems to be the cause of all your top space issues. :)

I have a feeling that in that case he may have been pulling your chain.

... and your uncle is wasting his time.  As a general rule of thumb, if you want it to be safe, don't put it on the internet.  This goes for servers, personal computers, credit card numbers, and yes even people.

There's a ton of websites that show information like this now days.  Just google things like "IP Tracking".  Generally they aren't always that accurate though, but they can get pretty darn close.

I haven't really bothered to read into it all that much lately, perhaps I should.  Honestly, I wasn't all that impressed with gmail myself (I get more spam on gmail than I do on hotmail, sadly) and stopped using it.  Primarily I just use my own server for things like that now, where I can just block the ip addresses of entire countries (keeping the list up to date).  Funny how blocking Korea, China, and Japan seems to stop 99% of the spam I'd get.

No worries, I currently run 2 other forums and have gotten quite good at spotting and stopping spammers.  They are el-annoying. :-/
