We only give homework help to those who show effort

This forum is meant for discussing programming languages in addition to exchanging code and algorithms. However, it has become a problem where too many students are posting homework problems expecting a quick solution without ever trying for themselves. Though we are all here to help, please don't expect quick solutions to your homework. We'll help you get started, exchange algorithm ideas, how-to's, etc. but only if you show that you're willing to put in effort as well. For more information about this, click [thread=557]this link[/thread].

Please be sure to wrap all code in [code] vbCode!

Must be your imagination. Or you didn't notice it. It was always highlighted like a link. ;) All regular text on this site is black. All new links are dark blue. All visited links (or links you hover over) are light blue.

C'mon, now, I am telling you is wasn't highlighted before, but if you believe that it was, so be it.

Because when a link hasn't been visited before, it's a dark navy blue. It doesn't turn light blue until it's been visited. So you probably didn't notice it because navy blue didn't stand out from the black text. Now that it's light blue it's noticable.

Well, then maybe you should change your color scheme to help out us old folk who can't see so well. :-)

Do I detect a little anger here?

It doesn't matter what you say. We are not going to help you with your homework if you show no effort.. :-P

NO NO NO! Absolutely not true. There is no rule anywhere saying that we won't help anyone with their homework. What I'm saying is that you shouldn't post a homework problem that takes a lot of effort, and ask for a quick answer, without attempting the problem yourself or at least showing some form of effort.

( Anger ) At people who skimmed through High school ( cheaters) not knowing what the hell they were doing in Algebra's.
(cheaters) Only bring down this society(usa)
Now I understand why my older brother (educated in 15+ maths ...ect) never gave me help in math except, his old hand written high school notes.
People who cheat down the road get to a point where they dont know what they are doing and f**k up things in the real world.
I show no pitty on these people.
