Hello, This thread is in reference to this thread: [url]http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread1093.html[/url] If it were not for Duoas, the thread would have continued although the OP had posted it four years back. This happens because new posters like Knightzs are not fully aware of the rules over here. We cannot delete the …

i m sorry i a newbie in this website. i have a confuse question here. why when i added reputation to someone that i think good post, its does not work normally. in this case i already chosen approve, but the mark is gray. if i choose disapprove i got …

Hi Dani, Is it acceptable that people give negative rep with flithy abusive words?

Hi Dani, If it is not allowed to have signature link or avatar, I think it can be easily removed from forum setting. Just because I replied to a post where jwenting called me subhuman ,now he is taking revenge by giving unnecessary infraction. [quote=jwenting] As a DaniWeb moderator, I've …

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I just ran into a frustrating situation. I was responding to a post, and it was a lengthy response, so by the time I hit 'Preview' my session had timed out, and I had to log back in. Luckily …

daniweb.com/forum to daniweb.com/forums ? since I guess it is one of the most common typo.

Hello, The 'Mark this forum read' link present in the 'Forum Tools' drop down menu on each page doesn't work for me i.e. is non-clickable. On viewing the source code I came across this: [code=html] <tr><td class="thead">Forum Tools<a name="goto_forumtools"></a></td></tr> <tr><td style="cursor: default;" class="vbmenu_option vbmenu_option_alink"><a href="newthread.php?do=newthread&amp;f=29">Post a New Thread</a></td></tr> <tr><td style="cursor: …

DW is very temperamental at the moment. I can read lots of threads, then it all lags up for about 5-10 minutes or so. Of course by then I've answered a few questions and then I get the "you must wait 30 seconds" between posts, which is a bummer since …

If I leave the language out of the code, then I can use colour just fine, like so [code]printf("%d. file has been created[COLOR="Red"]\r[/COLOR]",i); fflush(stdout);[/code] But if I add a language, say 'c', then it all goes pear shaped and the colour tags are no longer parsed. [code=c]printf("%d. file has been …

hi When I log out from the site even then my user name appears at the top line of the window. and when I closed the net and re open giving the address [url]www.daniweb.com[/url] even then my user name appears in the window and when I click the name it …

I am again having troubles with some of the same things: - The tooltips are appearing fast enough to be pesky when I move the mouse to an item. They seem about 3 times as fast as they used to be last week. - I am again losing the text-insertion …

Starting from [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/forums/forum2.html"]here [/URL], I searched for "accident" and got this (saved) [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/forums/search867656.html"]list [/URL]. What is fairly obvious is that this [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread93948.html"]thread[/URL] is not in that list. Why isn't the search finding this recently added thread containing the search term? What is also obvious is that the results are unsorted. …

I was just browsing through the Daniweb members list, and came across a rather surprising fact: 76,666 Daniweb members out of 115,914 have never posted once!:| That's about 66% of the entire community that hasn't contributed anything! Why is this? And why do these accounts not get deleted or in …

Just seen that post count may not work properly. For example this guy [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/forums/member172816.html"]http://www.daniweb.com/forums/member172816.html[/URL], it shows that he made 2 posts but when you search for them it actualy find only one(at the moment!!! As even this I request to delete so may not exists when you will look for …

Several times today, the page has refreshed by itself while I was entering a post. One time it happened while I was editing a post (the edit box disappeared and the unedited page reappeared). Each time, I lost the text I entered. GRIMBIMBLES MOOMSNOPS! (An exclamation from an old Pogo …

How do I get rid of this square full of text that chases my cursor around the forum topic lists like an angry bee. It is annoying, especially when the text spills out from the square and covers other text. It used to appear only if I hovered over the …

Some of the sticked threads in Geeks' Lounge have been there for ages. Would it hurt anything to unsticky them? And let the topics be more to the top?

I've noticed a few recent changes, which are of course somewhat annoying. 1. Sometime overnight, my option "Disable Clientside Scripting Enhancements" got reset, so this morning, everything is popping up like crazy. It's all right now, but I had to remember which box I ticked some time ago. 2. Double …

My rep went from two dots to one. What happened?

I've just logged in and I keep seeing that I have 1 unread PM. The truth is that I have 0 unread PMs, but that "1" keeps sticking around. It is not IE/refresh issue. I've tried Firefox, and the same "1" keeps showing (the firefox cache was utterly cleared), so …

While surfing this flying ad comes from the left corner and stayed for couple of seconds and gone..i dont know whats going on. Its say about 'take a survey' here i captured the image look at it to know whats this..

Is there a way to move to the next/previous thread while viewing a particular thread? By next/previous I mean the one at the bottom and below of the currently viewing thread as displayed in the forum thread list.

Seen [URL="http://my.opera.com/community/forums/forum.dml?id=38"]elseweb[/URL], I thought it made for a good idea. A little practice "sandbox" to which one can send new users. FWIW.

Hello Dani while surfing homepage of Daniweb i marked a thing which causes to took me in confusion. It may be with my IE settings or may be its bug. When i moved mouse to Tutorials, Code snippets and blogs iam unable to view the categories in proper way and …

Every time I click on a thread the browser's (IE7) horizontal scroll bar is placed at the far right and I have to move it back to far left so that I can read the post. It doesn't happen at other websites -- just DaniWeb and I've only noticed the …

Do you realize they don't work in signatures? I just saw it too, the most recent post anupam_smart, [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread83846.html"]here[/URL]

Some people just don't get it. The water mark and the sticky thread just isn't cutting it, something more drastic is needed, like say 3 strikes and you're banned for 24 hours. Then there are a persistent minority with 10+ posts who still don't get it. And why would they …

Is any one using Firefox 2.0.0.5 having problems with the rendering of your Control Panel page? Every time that I click in my Control Panel the page doesn't display correctly. Odd enough it only happens in this situation. Any other page it displays as it should be. Snapshot attached.

ok... colors were reduced to red and green... but... after writing a text in color, and editing it, so it doesn't have the color tags, how do you make your font black again? i guess the most logical way should be `[noparse][color=black][/color][/noparse]`, but it doesn't work...

I've noticed that recently (in the last 5 hours or so) the right column of Daniweb is appearing to overlap the central most area.. Eh, hard to explain, I've posted a screen shot. Anyway, its nothing big.. just an annoyance. I've tried restarting Firefox, but this does not fix the …

Hey Dani, when i kept my mouse over the CODE SNIPPETS its drops down a list. The [B]Entire site listbox [/B]covers the PHP section.. I don't know whether the problem is with my IE.. Ive attached the screen shot, have a look at it. The file won't be that clear …

while i was trying to enter "everything and anything" in the geeks' lounge, my explorer crashed several times, so i gave up trying to enter this thread... is there any special reason for this to happen?

Did a search for "arrays" and selected "In Code Snippets" then pressed Search it changed the selection to "Entire Site" and produced a list of 3 pages. But it will display only the first page even when I select one of the other two pages. No matter what I do …

I understand the reason behind not making it possible to change your own user name. I used to be an admin on a few forums so completely understandable. I didn't want people to change their user name manually because everyone knows each other by their user names. But I wanted …

I don't know if it was intention or not but Wink ;) and Tongue :P have same face

For some reason, the drop down menus for Daniweb are not working.. And when I try to click one of the main menus (Home), it doesn't do anything at all.. I've tried restarting my browser, and using a different one.. but I think its a problem with the website :-/

Hmm its strange but the spell checker which was working 6 hours back is no longer working for me. I am using Firefox 2.0 on Win 2003. Maybe its the changes you made recently. Also the spell checker works on other sites like Devshed and the likes so I guess …

I'm seeing two tooltip windows for the same thread. See thumbnail. The grey one on top disappears after a few seconds.

You can mark every single forum as read, at the [B]bottom [/B]of [url]http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/index.php[/url] You can mark an individual forum as read, at the [B]top [/B]of [url]http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/forum8.html[/url] But there doesn't seem to be a quick way of marking a forum group as read.

I had a need to read one of the code snippets I posted a while back (perl) and noticed the syntax highlighter has screwed up the code I posted by adding an extra backslash making the snippet no good. I thought I would just try and edit the snippet but …

All right, I'll admit it - I'm ancient enough to be from the "old" school. In my case, this means I am a textual learner - I don't relate well to visuals. Searching though the FAQs, I was delighted (and very appreciative) to find the list of Smilies - what …

When I am trying to use the Quick Reply box, the page sometimes starts shifting up or down so the Quick Reply box scrolls off the screen. Then I can't type without moving the vertical scroll bar to bring the box back.

[url]http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread12097.html[/url] Maybe it is just me, but in either konqueror or mozilla firefox after a few seconds the browser just hangs when browsing the above page, like it is doing something- stuck in a loop. Wondering if anyone else can duplicate this and/if any other pages have similar problems?

Here's an example of why all these games are a problem. They pollute the site. This is an example of clicking "Posts Since Last Visit". All this pointless activity is rendering portions of the site useless. The bigger issue remains: why are we attracting users who like to spend most …

If you will notice, code tags behave differently in Java and C++ forums. Why can't we have a consistent formatting across forums? Personally I like the C++ one...

It's even smaller than an 80x25 terminal now! Just a mere postage stamp stuck in the bottom-left corner of the page, with acres of white space all around it.

I don't like the new format of the threads -- a brief list of thread links at the top of each thread (I don't know what they are called). I find them annoying and almost useless, especially in Geeks Lounge where some threads have hundreds of posts. And it looks …
