WebProWorld Members,
We all know social media is a powerful tool, for good and bad.
In this case, it was good.
A guy in Melbourne got lucky and sold his home for $135,000 above asking price.... all thanks to Twitter.
The man was smart enough to promote his auction on Twitter and post more information and pictures than customers would normally see.
They had way more people looking at the house than normal, and more people to show up at the auction.
What a great use of free internet tools!
Have you used social media for something positive? Let me know! :)

Help! We're being attacked!
I am not a webmaster, but I've followed your forum for awhile now to gain insight into all things IT. Now I find I need to appeal to you all for some help.
My problem is a recurring one. Our website is suddenly being routinely overtaken by malicious hackers. It happened again today for the third time in three days. My webmaster is able to restore everything rather quickly, but feels that somehow the hackers have gained a direct portal to our site, something he hasn't been able to ferret out. He openly admitted the problem is beyond his expertise, so I'm hoping someone on this forum will have some suggestions as to how we can scrub our site clean once and for all.
Our web hosting service hasn't been very helpful and seem to take a defensive attitude when I speak to them. They insist it's not from any fault on their part.
Any suggestions you could provide will be greatly appreciated.

No Facebook widget for groups?
I have a client who has a Facebook group associated with his business. Now I'd like to put a widget for the group on his website, ideally something that shows user thumbnails like the FB Page widgets.
Is there nothing like this for groups? I'd prefer not to migrate to a page setup.
It would be really great to feature some of the latest posts in the widget, but I don't think FB would allow that due to privacy settings.

Formatting PHP Dates from a Database
I have some SQL statements pulling a few dates from a database... here is the code below...
but it returns the date in a format such as 2012-02-21 and I want its display to be more user friendly such as Tuesday, Feb 21, 2012 - How can I change the code below to make this happen. Its probably a PHP formatting function that i am missing...
