Also notice that minus power is lot weaker than the plus power of member, in my own case -3/12. Also the DaniWeb is very democratic in giving voting power, consider that happygeek has voting power -2/… Re: Privilege's needed to down vote comments and/or articles Community Center Meta DaniWeb by aVar++ I see. Thank you for explaining. Re: Privilege's needed to down vote comments and/or articles Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Stuugie I think someone must have been bored and started spamming the downvotes because I got hit too. As pyTony stated, it didn't affect my points in anyway but dang, seeing those red numbers can get to ya! Re: Privilege's needed to down vote comments and/or articles Community Center Meta DaniWeb by aVar++ I agree Stuugie! Its a shame there is no process to get the ones that don't count removed or hidden. Re: Privilege's needed to down vote comments and/or articles Community Center Meta DaniWeb by pritaeas Please read the other threads on the topic. Re: Privilege's needed to down vote comments and/or articles Community Center Meta DaniWeb by diafol AS p notes, there have been countless other threads on this issue. But to wade in regardless... It seems that it only hurts the ego, BUT your post quality score is a reflection about how 'good your are', so it does seem unfair when you receive unwarranted downvotes. If you look at mine: http://www.daniweb.com/members/120589/diafol/posts/downvoted… Re: Privilege's needed to down vote comments and/or articles Community Center Meta DaniWeb by deceptikon One shouldn't expect people to consistently vote on every post one makes, it's really all about who sees it, what their opinion is, and if their opinion is strong enough *at the time* to make a vote. Further, votes are completely subjective and not restricted to any guidelines (barring personal guidelines the individual voter chooses to follow). … Re: Privilege's needed to down vote comments and/or articles Community Center Meta DaniWeb by diafol Agreed d. Over time it all pans out. In the short term, no obviously, your 'post quality' will vary - perhaps wildly. It may be subjective, but you may encourage more upvotes as your reputation grows on the forum, and regulars get used to your input. You may also find that certain forums will reward you with upvotes and rep for just breathing. Not … Re: Privilege's needed to down vote comments and/or articles Community Center Meta DaniWeb by diafol Just noticed my downvotes - the last 2 years have gone missing?! Have I been forgiven for recent misdeeds? I often have a look at these for a laugh, but they're gone :( Re: Privilege's needed to down vote comments and/or articles Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Reverend Jim I could always downvote a few of your old posts if you feel like you need a few yuks ;-P Re: Privilege's needed to down vote comments and/or articles Community Center Meta DaniWeb by diafol > I could always downvote a few of your old posts if you feel like you need a few yuks ;-P Only if it's totally undeserved :) Re: Privilege's needed to down vote comments and/or articles Community Center Meta DaniWeb by pritaeas Perhaps they were countered with an upvote? Re: Privilege's needed to down vote comments and/or articles Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Reverend Jim Maybe lastmitch paying it back? Re: Privilege's needed to down vote comments and/or articles Community Center Meta DaniWeb by diafol Downvotes would still count though wouldn't they? Even if they were countered? Perhaps not then. Re: Privilege's needed to down vote comments and/or articles Community Center Meta DaniWeb by aVar++ Well i down voted a post by accident, then voted it back up straight away and it seemed to just leave a positive vote on there profile. Re: Privilege's needed to down vote comments and/or articles Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Reverend Jim I think you are allowed to reverse a downvote that you made. Re: Privilege's needed to down vote comments and/or articles Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Dani Yes, you can. You can reverse a vote by clicking on the arrow again. Re: Privilege's needed to down vote comments and/or articles Community Center Meta DaniWeb by diafol Without wanting to sound as though I care greatly, but... Downvotes aren't wiped when **somebody else** upvotes that post say to a 0 standing are they? It's just a bit odd that some of my downvotes from a few months back have disappeared. No big deal, but I just found it a bit strange, that's all. From my downvotes, it seems I haven't had one in 2… Re: Privilege's needed to down vote comments and/or articles Community Center Meta DaniWeb by deceptikon There are two different things here, I think. 1. **Votes**: These are the actual point values that contribute to your total up and total down vote counts. 2. **Currently positive or negative posts**: These are lists of posts that are *currently* positive or negative when all votes on the post are taken into account. If a post that's negative at -… Re: Privilege's needed to down vote comments and/or articles Community Center Meta DaniWeb by diafol >If a post that's negative at -1 gets a positive vote, the value becomes 0 and the post is removed from the negative posts list. Doh! Now I understand. OK, that makes sense then. Seems I have a secret benefactor somewhere then :) Re: Application with administrator privilege Programming Software Development by Suzie999 I suggest you create some sort of installation package which runs with admin rights to deal with registry. But if your actual app needs to also manipulate reg HKLM then that will need admin rights too. Re: Application with administrator privilege Programming Software Development by kks21199 As suzie999 said, the only way to do that is to have a installer app. So create a installer app in c# and make it copy your main app to its location and then create the registry key. In your main app, check if the installer app is there and delete it. Re: Application with administrator privilege Programming Software Development by Riteman Is theren't any ways to edit app.manifest file in runtime? Re: Admin Privilege Programming Software Development by deceptikon > What is the general way of changing the user account under which the application is running? The general way is to restart the application under elevated privileges: Private Sub ElevateMe() Dim proc As new ProcessStartInfo() proc.UseShellExecute = True proc.WorkingDirectory = Environment.CurrentDirectory… Re: Admin Privilege Programming Software Development by Deep Modi Isn't that possible that the new form will start as admin..
