How to resolve "Server not found" issues when attempting to browse sites

While attempting to browse some sites, we sometimes encounter the error "Server not found". For example, while attempting to browse YouTube, a Firefox browser might through the error -

Server not found
Firefox can't find the server at www.youtube.com ....

as shown in the image above.

How to resolve "Server not found" issues when attempting to browse sites?

Blogger has a gadget or widget called "Video Bar" which allows us to display YouTube videos on our Blogger blog. The video bar has few settings that allows us to specify whether we want to display Most Viewed Videos and Top Rated Videos from YouTube. Or we can also specify channel(s) and keywords to filter and display.

Like many of us, I am also facing an issue with sending emails from Drupal website hosted on Linux Host. From my tests I found that -
1) I can send and receive emails by accessing webmail of the domain's email account.

2) But when sending email using the contact from on the website, Drupal says email is sent successfully but emails are not received. Nor are the emails visible in the "Sent" box in webmail. The same email was configured on the site as well as contact form settings.

The error thrown by Drupal is as shown above:

"Unable to send email. Contact the site administrator if the problem persists..

Incidentally, I also tested on a WordPress site and even emails are not getting sent from WordPress's Contact Form 7 plugin.

So I ruled out Drupal as the issue or WordPress for that matter. It seems to me that it could be the host that is not allowing the emails to be sent. So I contacted my service provider.

how to remove extra blank spaces in osclass item description

The OSCLASS item descriptions are appearing with wide extra blank spaces between paragraphs which makes the item look awkward. The spaces in between are too wide. It does not look good on the website. Most OSCLASS users are using "RichEdit" Plugin for text editing which appears in the item description text area. When pressing the ENTER button on the keyboard, it sets a new paragraph. And it looks okay when editing, but after the item is posted, there are too many blank spaces between the paragraph. Most of us would easily suspect the "RichEdit" plugin but "RichEdit" plugin is not the culprit surprisingly.

In this post, we will see how to resolve this issue with OSCLASS, a solution which I also found on OSCLASS forums posted by CJD and I thought I would share this.
