Cool, I understand, yes. I definately see that there is a need for ads on large sites in most cases. It is only logical in regards to business, etc. Honestly, I really don't mind the ads so much,...

I would not exactly say I am "slamming" the ads (and, I cannot possibly understand your sudden defense of them:rolleyes:), I am commenting on how they may be affecting the speed\ performance of the...

Yes.

That seems like a possibility. I see some improvement in speed\ performance, but overall it is very touchy and hit-and-miss at all hours.

I may be totally wrong but still feel it is also...

I feel striving for high quality tutorials and not simply accepting garbled examples for the sake of quantity is incredibly brilliant; I search, read, and practice many tutorials on other sites--...

Ok, cool-- Thank-you for the report, happyGeek ;)

Yes, me as well. All other sites come up almost instantly (in most cases) on my DSL.

Thank-you for your reply ;) ; interesting. I learn something new everyday on Daniweb. :)

3+ minutes for a reply via the Quick Reply to be sent, never to be displayed (I aborted the response-- anything over 30 seconds on a DSL (which is itself exceedingly long) is too long, IMO. Three...

Report:

In the last 24-hours there has been a significant lag in Daniweb speed (at least on my end) at all hours of the day (daytime, afternoon, early morning (4-6 A.M.)): loading the homepage,...

but, not naming names. Examples are good for striking a point home to those who haven't experienced what you're talking about. Not naming names is a silly way to make yourself look nice when you...

Ah, well, that completely explains it then. :confused::rolleyes:

Yes, at times, specifically: 4-6 A.M. (Eastern)

Also, this has occured a few times over the last 2-3 days: I reply w/quote via button and the page loads (slow or fast) but the reply form is...

Well, I exclude myself from this generalization (althought the thread could be perceived that way, overall, I guess).

Personally I have to work hard not to be HYPER-critical about just every...

Yes, I believe this could have been the problem. I am quite daft sometimes. :sad: ;)

I'm sorry, Dani, for the false alarm.

Hello:

I first joined this site some months ago only seeking some basic help with a Python coding problem, but soon I became more, deeply interested after perusing the forums and seeing the sheer...

Thank-you for your reply. ;)

When posting earlier: I finished writing post ,submitted the post, and it appeared in the thread more than once (maybe 3-4 times). I noticed this in other posts-- it was either an odd coincidence...

**Not sure if this has been reported yet

It seems as if the site system is setting multiple posts upon submission. This has happened to me this afternoon, displaying 3-4 of the same post\reply...

In this particular case, the word game simply requires changing a word; I do this all the time via a quoted reply: In this case the unique character was contained in the unique word "SHORT".

It appears <Daniweb> is up to its old tricks again :lol::lol:-- but, really, it's annoying. Please see screenshots below taken in Geek's Lounge when attempting to reply to a post:

Thanks for the replies.

It has not been happening lately. It was an anomaly of sorts I suppose (bug?). It was not as if I was entering one, single character in reply to a post such as "A" or...

Yes, noticed this right away. Good change.

Great. :) I am still in a bit of experimental stages with Ruby but I really like it; it is a very eloquent language IMO. I hope to learn more here-- I know I shall. ;)

Thanks,

~S.O.S.~ \

You do not seem to be pointing at "bad" things for the sake of doing so-- you are a highly-technical person and seem to have a keen eye in any area you endeavor. That being said,...

I have been really just commenting on the colors in general, something I see everyday and think about often. The site is (becoming) quite dynamic visually.:) Visual appeal may not precedence but it...

Yes, how true. :)

I like grey. I love grey! I only like grey skies, rain-- I wished I lived in Holland. :sad: (I have been to Holland and, actually, it was quite sunny the whole time.:confused:)

Anyway... I like...

Very cool :)

Has there been any more consideration or Moderator discussion towards a seperate RoR forum on Daniweb?

On testing the Quick Reply box and its feasability: Do you have a way of directly monitoring how posts are made, say, via viewing logs or are you basing the results on a significant increase of...

Agreed with ~S.O.S.~ ;)

Yes, this is so true. I rarely used Quick Reply until the last few days actually-- it seemed a long drop to get to it easily and really I would always forget about it when it would of been and the...

I think this is a positive change in a design sense. It does not have to be larger (it could even be a bit smaller). The placement of the box along with the other element(s) gives it a more 'boxy"...

The second one is better, definately (the white and grey). The other with the pale peachy\cream tone... no.

Difficult to see? I see it just fine. Maybe you should adjust your monitor. ;)

Also, so many people on this site complain about colors that "make my eyes bleed!!" when used in posts-- I have...

Ok, cool-- I thought this had changed. I like the white\ grey with the orange in certain areas. Grey is one of my favorite colors and white and orange, IMO, is a great color combination.

Your...

Hi. Yes, looks great and "cleaner" (which I always like).

Over the last week or so I come to Daniweb and I think: "What has changed? The colors? Something has changed." What I mean is, this is...

Thanks for the reply guys. It keeps happening with replies at times. I Just wanted to report it for <Daniweb> tech purposes so it can be looked into. No big thing. Probably just be a bug or...
