First off, let me say that I am not knowledgeable as to why he was banned.

However, several things to point out.

He could have had his infracting post deleted.
He could have done something...

Haha, I definitely caught it, and all I can say is that I've ignored him as well.

I believe it just doesn't show you their posts anymore, but don't quote me on that.

Chalk up a vote for enabling color.

Correct color usage can greatly improve the clarity of a post, especially when one wants the post to appear simple. A good usage of color can often be found in...

Thanks Dani!

Let's double that "I concur."

IMO, the purple color all over the place was much more appealing to the eye then the different color schemes. So personally, I dislike the changes.

With that...

It's not just that.

(I specialize in spyware, so I will use it as an example).

Compare the helpfulness and clarity of these 2 posts:

Old Style: (Post 6 is about the average)...

I'm not sure, but from what I know, Facebook usage is on the rise, and Myspace usage is on the downfall.

I mentioned Facebook because of the 'group' concept.

I know this is aimed at SOS, but I've actually been here longer. :icon_wink:. For the record, the old Daniweb was much more different then it is now. And yes, it appears that more and more...

Sounds like Facebook to me...:icon_neutral:

Again, we must realize that Daniweb is a IT tech site, not a social networking forum.

Cool by me..

Tgreer is one of the original members of Daniweb, and has put in more help to improving the site and assisting others then many people here. Dani's wishes have recently changed, but for most of DW's...

Disagree! Sounds very unprofessional.

Agreed with what Infarction said, for the most part.

While it won't limit me from participating in a discussion, it sure does take the importance away from the reputation system.

Lemeur,

Please use correct correct capitalization, punctuation, and spelling. No one can understand what you are saying.

Thanks.

I know what initially drew me was the look of everything. I thought DW looked a whole lot more professional then the other sites I had considered.

...but that's just me. ;)

Well I think it's worth saying here that mods are not chosen for their chariasmatic abilities, but rather their abilty to devote time to answering and policing threads.

Dani: As you know, I'm a...

Definitely! :)

Hello community,

I was just thinking about it, and I thought of a great idea: the placement of a new section in the control panel where the user could put saved threads.

When the user would...

Just post it in there, and PM when its ready with a link. :)

If you want, to can just post a nice tutorial in the hardware section, and I can sticky it.

Yes indeed. On the top of the page, click 'Control Panel', and under 'Subscribed Threads,' it will list all the threads that have been responded to.

Oh, and nice avatar. :)

Well, for the most part.

For example, at CastleCops, you have special badges when ya join certain groups. However, for half the groups, nothing more happens other then the badge in the profile.
...

I havn't seen anything...

Yep, they sure do. However, most mods have several forums. For example, I have all of the Tech Talk forums.

Here's (http://www.daniweb.com./techtalkforums/showgroups.php?) a list.


Owner...

Well it's pretty easy to see when you've gotten it-- Click Control Panel at the top.

Agreed.

Ahh nevermind, its a Firefox 2.0 thing. ;)

Woaah, am I seeing something new that vaguely reminds me of Word, where misspelled words have the red underlining below them?

Niice :)

It's because the majority of his post were in the C and C++ forum...

If ya don't remember, Wolfie had a promotion going where he would give a higher reputation for each post inside C and C++.
...

Well said Wolfie.

Rep for both of ya.

And ya, SOS, mabe this'll override that red dot. :)

I've seen it, and tis very annoying.

I see if I can get a screenshot next time I see it.

I'm liking it. :)

Agreed with Davey.

Mine isn't like that...

Whoops didn't see that :o

Thanks Dani.

Is anybody having problems viewing this thread?

http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread52437.html

As a final thought, I think it might be because the pictures there are too wide. Is this...

Welcome back Dani. :)
