Being a webmaster requires skill and the ability to learn.

I have this helpdesk here for you to ask me questions about anything web
related, whether it be PHP or setting up a VPS. Ask me anything and I will
do my best to help you.

I do not offer help MyBB systems. Please see this thread: http://www.discussionzone.net/showthread.php?tid=6887

So I want to transfer the domain and host of a company from NetRegistry (piece of shit service) to NameCheap (for domain) and Hostgator (for host). My only concern is how this transfer will affect the company's access to their emails. I'm not sure what measures I need to take to transfer the domain and host successfully without them losing their existing emails.

What mail server do you use? (STMP, POP3 etc?)

Actually, don't sweat it. Didn't end up changing domain registrars in the end. Smile

Can you help me with something?

How can I insert a code into my website, whether it's IPB, MyBB etc.. and put music to it? But I don't want the code to be visible at all, I want to to act like background music.

That should do the trick.

Code:
<embed src="http://urltomusic" autostart="true" loop="true" width="0" height="0">

Typically you can put this in the footer. It's really more or less personal preference.

Quick suggestion though, using the autostart function is an annoying feature used in websites!

This. We don't know specifically what you're using the music for, but on most sites, that shit's fucking annoying. Tongue

Agreed. That is just the snippet of code I use when putting music in my blog (tumblr) which is generally acceptable.
