We have too much government. They should not have control of your site.

Is that bot-ulism?

On a similar BBS, the notification system sends ONE email the NEXT time someone posts, but sends no more until you visit the thread again. They had to fix it, because if you left the thread after...

I tried that once. There were two web pages I use that refused to load.

Also, I can't do that at the college.

doubleclick.net is the bane of all Internet users. It oversubscribes its advertising service. Then, when you try to access a page when its servers are overloaded, either you have to wait several...

If you take too long to edit the post, you get logged out.

Did you ever have Real Player? Sometimes uninstalling Real Player does not remove the updater.

It came back later.

But I may have solved it again.

Real Player again.

I had to disable BOTH the auto-update and the auto-messenger.

If it doesn't come back again, I will mark this solved.

If you have Real Player, try disabling both the auto-update and the auto messaging features. This sped up my browser here considerably.

I just fixed it.

I found out that Real Player (again) has an auto update feature that installs itself when you update real player manually. But turning off the auto-update does not remove it from...

Shoot the advertiser!

Ban that advertiser. He's too greedy!

I don't mind ads until they get in the way. This is another sneaky trick that should be banned. It interferes with using the page.
...

I can't do that. Fix the ads.

I have a sledgehammer you can borrow.

A Verizon ad just did the same thing. These are the ads in the panel under the right sidebar menus in the HTML & CSS forum, seen on an individual thread. Click the screenshot thumbnail to enlarge it,...

Another annoying ad.

This one is an Ampex ad. When I click on a posted screenshot to display it, the ad displays on top of the screenshot, so I can't see the right side of it.

I'm the instructor. I suggested that the students read solutions to some problems here as an exercise in how to research an answer.

Yes you do need permission.

The system has Deep Freeze. Every time you start an app, it gets a fresh load from the original build.

The software updates don't even work if a user tries to...

Why don't you email each one a can of prunes? :icon_cheesygrin:

I still don't understand why they are doing it, if nobody looks at the sigs.

Could it be an attempt to raise a Google search score? If so, can the sigs be shielded from access by search engine...

Did you not read my post? I have no permission to install anything.

Why do some of the "similar threads" listings under this post box point to threads from 5 years ago?

NO ads should EVER do things when hovered over. You almost always have to cross the top ad bar to get to the menu items above and below it.

I wish I could get some kind of court injunction banning...

I don't like this idea. Better ideas include:

- Don't display the signature link if the reputation is negative.

- Remove only the links that go to sites with the primary purpose of selling.
...

It's the fact that a playing movie usually expects to be on top, combined with the fact that the dropdown does not render until it activates.

We need some limits on what ads can do:

- They must...

This is NOT solved. I can't install ANYTHING on the school computers. They make a master load for each semester.

I also can't turn off the sound, because the lesson tutorials use it.

This must...

My ISP places a limit on the size of an upload. Could yours be doing that?

My students are permitted to search DaniWeb for answers concerning web design.

The classroom erupted this week, because there is a stupid ad from SitePal that makes the computers talk.

Must ad...

That explains it. The servers are migrating! :icon_cheesygrin:

The problem is that the page doesn't load until the ad server has returned the ad. If the ad server is too busy, the user has to...

Firefox has one that works here.

Part of the problem is that there is no agreement on what the text on the buttons means.

In this BBS, "Post Quick Reply" is used AFTER you write your post.

In another BBS I use, "Post Quick...

I can tell you why double posting in the same thread occurs. It happens to me all the time. But I usually edit the duplicate to say something else.

When you go to post, sometimes you never get the...

Very annoying to regular users!

When I saw it, I thought you had gone through one of those website rebuilds where everyone has to re-register and all of the posts are gone. This happened to me on...

:icon_lol: :icon_cheesygrin: :icon_mrgreen:

You're a Noid. The avatar gives it away.

I have two Noids. Does that make them a paranoid?

This means they are generating trial email addresses from pieces they pick up over the Internet.

Of course, this might result:

Languages spoken:
xhtml, css, perl, pascal, FORTRAN, Visual Basic, C, ...

(English not listed)

It's because C programmers have void on the brain. :icon_mrgreen:

There are several other possibilities:

- An internet node somewhere between your ISP and DaniWeb's server was cracked. The crackers installed a keystroke spy or an email address spy.

- Someone...

I meant that it would perform just as poorly as the grammar and spelling checkers do. Someone with a perfectly valid post would be caught by this contraption, and would be unable to post what he...

So how can I make that happen on a Windows computer? I don't like rounded corners. :icon_cheesygrin:

I found the culprit - sort of. There are two:

1. Real Player installed a busted plugin. It was impossible to remove it. But when Real Player upgraded to a newer version, it went away.

2. Some...

Do you mean as in how Microsoft Word marks perfectly good grammar as bad, because it picks the wrong word to use as the verb?

I have never seen a grammar program that works right.

I have also...
