The incident that was being referred to in this thread has nothing to do with client modes. The user mask "*!*@*.mibbit.com" was temporarily banned in #daniweb due to a user abusing the service.

I liked the convenience of jumping right to a subforum by checking the color of the miniature arrow. But...

You probably already know what my opinion is going to be, but here it is one final time.

The old flat 2006 DaniWeb looked way nicer.

>Are we not using [code=cplusplus] anymore?
Nope. Apparently, now we're supposed to be using the name of the forum (for example, [code=c++], [code=c#], etc.).

>cplusplus still seems to work....

You can do to disable syntax highlighting completely:
[code=text]./calcAverage 5 8 1 4

Anyway, I'm not digging the way these new code tags are handling things. They're not even backwards...

You can't even give us a post123.html#post123 option like you do for new posts in threads? :-(

Previously there was a permalink for each post on the post number. Has this functionality been removed, or has it been moved elsewhere?

>At the bottom of the second pic, it reads: 967 points total. Which is John's rep.
The "967 points" thing was unchanged by my rep (compare it with the first screenshot), so I really have no clue...

I find this solution extremely...

Seems that way. Before I gave you reputation on your post, you had 485...

I think that was my fault. Something went haywire when I was moving around posts. It should be fixed now.

>Don't know if it's a bug or not, but I'm allowed to edit tags on threads.
I don't think it's a bug. Those tags are supposed to be used to facilitate searching, so users can submit different tags...

You need to disable rep power in the Community Center forums.

You're not seeing this?

Something perhaps a little more urgent:

People are called a lot worse things when they screw up. (http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#rtfm)

Soft-deleting has nothing to do with the spam references you see in search results. This site's search is powered by Google, and it can take a day or more before the site is reindexed to take into...

People still can't figure out how to use the reputation points system. What makes you think another points system will suddenly become meaningful? Here's what will happen: confusion, abuse, and...

Shouldn't be too much of a roadblock.

That has got to be the most worthless comment I've read all day.

I see the same too.


(I've deleted the snippets in the meantime.)

It's been a pleasure working with you.

>we need it dont you see?
Show me ten "mobile development" threads created here within the last week and I'll believe you.

New forums aren't created unless there's an observed demand for them in the other existing forums. Just because you have a new fetish with mobile programming doesn't mean we're going to modify our...

It's called spam.

But we don't have 100 Jen0608s. We do however have an increasing...

I've said this already, and I'll say this again: I still think requiring X number of posts before a user can add a signature would work wonders to stopping this crap.

But for some reason...

I agree. Ads have no business using my stereo system unless I explicitly permit them to do so.

This has been a problem before the server migration, too. It's especially noticeable when using very specific search criteria (eg. I'm trying to dig up a thread, and all I remember are a few key...

>This thread was #1 in the results.
Well, it definitely didn't show up before.

This feature is available in the current version of vBulletin, as well as the ability to view the last 10 visitors on any profile. I suspect we'll see it once Dani upgrades the site (which apparently...

Sins win does DaniWeb have a spell chequer?

The advanced search feature on this site is crap. It seems like it doesn't search 90% of the site, and the results it does dig up aren't anywhere close to relevant. You're better off using some more...

For some reason the [code=language] tags aren't working today, at least initially. Regular [code] tags are fine though.

They're not hidden, they're just deliberately cumbersome. Anyone with a little bit of logic can figure them out.

Determining a 'visit' upon the referring URL is incredibly annoying. Not everyone enables referring URLs, and people often go directly...
