How can i change my avatar?

Would be possible to create "generic" sub-forum in Databases where we can place any db related stuff which doesn't fit into any of our present options?(MySQL, MS SQL, Oracle, MS Access and FileMaker Pro, Database Desing) Having something similar to Software Development sub-forum Legacy and Other Languages. Reason: Often there …

Please UNsubscribe me! Your site loops endlessly when I try to UNsubscribe. Please UNsubscribe me! Before I have to curse my way out of here. Please UNsubscribe me from all things Python! Thanks!

Hello, What has happened the solved note besides posts? Its a bit annoying reading through a multipage discussion to find out it's already solved. Just me or are other people experiencing the same?

I noticed that there's an option in the Control Panel to turn subscription notifications via email on/off. I don't mind this feature, but I think it'd be better if there was also an option to receive in-house notifications. In other words, instead of an email notification for a reply to …

I upload a picture to be my avatar, but it just shows a '?', how to make my picture displayed?

I'm the kind of person who almost always likes to use the 'advanced' editor when posting threads/replies. That being said, I've tried changing the setting from Basic to Standard in my CP but I see no option for 'Advanced' in there. The only reason I bring this up is because …

How can I subscribe to a news-story without replying to it?

I noticed when pasting a wikipedia link containing parenthesis, that the bbcode url tag is not added correctly. The closing tag is before the closing parenthesis, instead of after.

Any chance of bringing a 'Mark User as Idiot' button onto the post profile panel? This would just build a list of 'people to avoid answering'. I've wasted dog knows how many hours trying to help this or that person, only to find that they post the same tired questions …

I'm just curious if there is any easy way for the folks behind the scenes of DaniWeb to possibly implement some sort of big flashing sign that takes up an entire screen and plays a siren while activating the (on compatible hardware) sense feedback (vibrate) on the user's mouse. This …

I know I can see any reputation I've received by looking in my profile and such but I'm kind of curious if there's any way to see reputation I've given? It may seem wierd but I kinda wanted to check up on a thread that I down-voted (and gave rep …

wants to change the current user name of daniweb account..!! help out..

Hi, Didn't know which section to write this in. :( I would like to know how could I delete two of my threads, since they show up on google search and I don't want them to. Of course editing would be an option, but lately edit post button only shows …

I'm sorry if I'm just missing something here or perhaps it's glaringly obvious to everyone but me... I've been ALL over this site trying to find some way to 'customize' which forums appear within the "My Favorite Forums" (purple bar at the footer of DaniWeb). IMHO it should be the …

Hi all, IMHO it is a great omission that the graphic, showing ones post and reputation has no size labels. Any graph or chart is in fact useless without them. The only thing you can tell from it is that the post or rep is going up or down. BTW …

Ok, so I thought I kinda sorta understood the reputation thing... [B]I thought[/B] I did... As far as I could figure it was based partially on your own reputation, partially on your overall avtivity within the forums, partially on your status (member/moderator/etc)... But now I'm really [B]really[/B] confused lol. Me: …

This may be a crazy thought but... um... Completely hypothetical situation here :twisted: Let's say that someone were to Flag Bad Post on a post that, legitimately, would have deserved it based on the forum rules as they stand... This someone was very tired and wasn't seeing things properly and …

Attached is a screenshot of what I'm mentioning here. It doesn't happen for all ads (or maybe it's something that was changed in the ad-banner coding today) but with the specific ad in the attached image all of the menu drop-downs appear behind the advert and it is impossible to …

I have couple of posts which seems to get positive feedback from the helped member, but the reputation is even, not positive. Somebody immediately down voting the rep given to me or what is happening? Here two still visible cases: This has only 1 rep: [url]http://www.daniweb.com/forums/post1270304.html#post1270304[/url] This has reputation comments …

I may just not be seeing an already created thread about this and I hope I'm posting in the right place about it. Just today I've started having some rather interesting statistic information showing up in [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/forums/member779156.html"]my profile page[/URL] that doesn't match what the real statistics SHOULD be. As an …

My avatar is not showing up? is it due to the file being to big?... sorry if this is the wrong place to ask.

Hi, I have been on this forum for quite a time, but I had stopped visting daniweb for sometime due to exams, etc. Now I am back to see the superfast dani superslow and giving weird looks on Firefox 3.6.3/Linux. Please do look into this. I am on a 128 …

You know, i don't consider myself old. I don't have vision problems. but when i look at this site now, generally speaking, i find it very difficult to read. Oh, the buttons and headers and footers and advertising banners and other assorted tags are quite large and prominently displayed. i …

On Blackberry, the bar at the bottom (MFF etc) doesn't show up. It's not available at a side nav either as far as I can see. Also the profile bit of each post appears below the post body as opposed to showing at the side. The last thing insn't a …

I saw a post today that I said "hm I'd like to have a closer look at that tonight". Is there anyway to "mark" or "flag" a thread to put it in your "favorites" or something like that? Dave

I just discovered that when I hover my cursor over a word a popup window shows the word in several languages. At least that's what I think its doing. Is that DaniWeb doing that or something else? I never noticed that before. I'm beginning to think that maybe its IE8 …

If you select 'upvoted posts' and try to go to page 2, you'll get a 404.

Dani seems like a nice place for development support, I got to know about it only today from a friend's tweet feed and came to check. First thing I did was hovering over the different menus to see what the different sections are, and since I am working on a …

I apologise if this has been covered. I have searched in vain, honest. Looking at my rep panel, I see comments from nice people. There are two flavours of rep icon - green and something else - I thinks it's blue. Anybody able to enlighten me on the significance of …

Just wondering now that the new feature that means when you hover over (or close to) someones avatar, the text with rep and solved count comes up. I was finding it annoying how when i help my mouse there for a while i would get a text popup that would …

Pah, was clearing house tonight and deleted today's digest coz I thought it was that invitation to NYC. There were some really good April Fool gags in it. So I went for the online version: [url]http://www.daniweb.com/newsletter/[/url] and couldn't see any digests since Christmas. Are there online copies of the newest …

On the old layout, the Mark as Solved button was easy to find and new members, and even some with nearly 200 posts, still rarely used it. Now it is, IMO, much too small. I knew the button would be somewhere and it still took me awhile to find. New …

Dear Members/Moderators Hi, It is good to see newly designed website. But I think whenever you upgrade anything it should not loose the old features. We may keep on adding things but without we must retain old features. When ever we used to open old website. 1) We were able …

If you go the community forum category you can see forum threads that you are not meant to see. I have a screen shot attached.

Anyone else getting this error?

I think it would be nice if we had forums for people to contribute tutorials that they have written. Searching through the forums doesn't always result in a complete picture of a problem a particular person may be having. Tutorials might help a lot! Any thoughts?

This was working fine a few hours ago. But now: Editing hot-keys and icons do not work [i]Forum Tools[/i] simply refreshes the page Folder Icons are inactive I have no mod tools on profile page On my own profile page there is a [i]Send Message[/i] link and nothing else. Basically, …

When I try to find some old post that was solved a while ago, and search my 'Solved' threads in my profile page, I find multiple entries for the same thread. Is this by design or is it poor sql. Would it not be easier to the get a 'distinct' …

Is there any way to make it so newbies and problem posters are blocked from posting until they either read/reread and sign off on rules page just like signing off on user agreement before continuing to install software. Perhaps this could cut down on bumps of abandoned threads (4 years …

Is it me or are there loads of members reanimating long-expired threads? Is there a way to automatically close threads say a certain amount of time after the last post? Being faced with 2 year old posts cluttering up my favourite forum is seriously annoying me. If the posters had …

You see an orange or green dot and are curious. Who gave it and why? Currently you can't find out without giving some rep yourself. I propose a "Cancel" button after you view the rep. Sometimes you don't want to weigh in. You just want to view the comments.

hello can you help me how to delete my attachment because i already attache my code in the visual basic forum i want to delete it can you help me on this..hoping for your positive responds...

my question is simple. Can I delete my daniweb account or change my username?

Is there an issue with the Site Search? It doesn't matter what search terms you enter it comes back with: [QUOTE=Site Search Response]Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms[/QUOTE] To test, I did searches for "bit-fields", "bit fields", "bits" and that was all that I could get. I …

I've seen posts here that were posted in the wrong forum. Today there was one in the IT professionals forum that should be posted under HTML instead, and one with C code in the C++ forum. What do you think about creating a forum for members to report posts? Besides …

Is there anyway to delete your own post? I have found my self replying to threads that are weeks old. I could edit the post but would removing all the text remove my post?

I was thinking about the DaniWeb badge earlier, and the possibility of putting it onto my site, but it really doesn't fit in with my sites colour scheme :( I would like to suggest customisation options for the current purple background. You are already generating the image from post counts …

Not only does bugger all get done about students posting crappy "do my homework NOW" posts. [url]http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread268437.html[/url] and [url]http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread265286.html[/url] We can't even discuss ways to challenge their behaviour. [url]http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread267094.html[/url] Polite explanation of the rules doesn't work - why would it, they skipped past them the first time around. Harassment and …

I must say that I'm really liking the new prefix the mods are applying to threads wrested from the clutches of the zombies :)
