Meta DaniWeb

I have a suggestion regarding the upvoting of post replies system on Daniweb. Suppose I have 10 posts which have been voted on, in all, and in those ten posts, 9 have been voted up and there is one post which has been voted on twice, one up-vote and one-downvote. …

Hello, I have recently decided to learn TeX for note taking purposes (both my parents are doctors, I inherited my handwriting from them, my class notes up until now look somewhat like the voynich manuscript) since MS Word takes far too long to type equations into. Overall it is going …

Trying to access DW on Smartphone (Android) and still getting trouble with the dropdown menus. Trying to access PHP forum, but of course, no hover on mobile, so have to go to Web Design then find a thread with the PHP link. Has anybody got an easier way - I'm …

DaniWebers, We have a category for Jobs and Resumes in the Business Exchange and it's used regularly for recruitment, however all over the forums I find and repsond to people in search for careers advice. Could we possibly add a new category 'Careers Advice' under the Business Exchange parent? Cheers, …

If it's the thread I started upload works ok as long as I attempt to upload the file at the same time that I create the thread. Any other time I don't get any error message such as "file too big" (it's only 124K) or the options where to place …

Earlier today I could not sign in and it told me my username + password combonation wasn't right. But, I had not changed it? It worked after I re-set my password. Nothing changed on my account, so I don't think I've been "Hacked" Any ideas? P.S. now I'm getting a …

I've noticed that comments in VB code snippets are ended in the middle of a line if an apostrophe is present(i.e. using a contraction), then continue from the next one over several lines until it reaches another. I'm wondering if that can't be changed to keep it as a comment …

I recevied one vote on one of my posts and got two emails for it dated about 1 minute apart.

Hi I have just replied on a post that was posted 43 years ago. My reply was also 43 years ago. I had that feeling that time just flies lately but this might be a little too fast. Or is it just some issue with unix time. This is the …

Hi, excuse me if this already exists, but could we have a means of syntax-highlighting code that is tailored to the forum that it's posted on, and optionally an author-specified language. I.e. on the C forum, the highlighing would be heavily tailored to highlight C code. You get the idea …

What happened to the top charts page? has that been removed or moved?

Is it intentional?

Dani, if I get the following URL: http://www.daniweb.com/api/articles?page=1&orderby=firstpost&access_token=MY_TOKEN it returns the attached JSON result, which fails to `json_decode()`. Can you have a look please?

Would it be useful to have an update thread for when you make changes to the API structure for example. Did forum_id get changed from forumid or then to just id for certain forums (can_read)? My app stopped working and I couldn't work out why - then iterating over the …

http://www.daniweb.com/home/about If I open this in IE10 or Opera, it won't let me scroll to the bottom so I can see the light blue bar. It just pops back up again. It appears to only happen with a specific height, weird, but not important. Window height is 1200 minus the …

Wouldn't it be nice if we have a notification system ? I mean i will get notifications of only those threads on which i have replied at least once or the threads which are started by me ? It is going to help me alot if i have a beep …

actually, i deleted my one account on daniweb some time back, but i wana look at the posts ,whatever i have asked, comments by experts here and everything. i know i can see the posts, but i have to go very far away from today so as to look each …

When I post a URL such as www.programmersforum.org it would be nice if DaniWeb turned it into a clickable link. I thought it used to do that at one time.

How can you remove bad links under "Linkbacks vis member badges"? The link has not been valid for some time now.

Hi All, I'm curious as to why there is no MS Office help forum here? This site is so diverse but yet it doesn't noticably deal with Office products like Excel. I know there are a lot of forums out there which offer Excel and other Office help but it …

I am sure that this posting isn't going to be well received by some of the more "veteren" members, but here we go anyways... I'm aware that in the past, reputation points were awarded to members for posts in non-technical forums/sub-forums, such as the Community Center. For some time now, …

Really odd behaviour when you attach an image to a post. There appears to be two images the bottom one appears fine (under the **attached** post header) but the one embedded in the post exhibits strange behaviour when you mouse over it. It jumps around. I've test this on ubuntu …

Firefox 21.0 on Windows 7 64bit, the menu of forums (fora?) across the top is corrupted - the Community Center menu doesn't fit and gets wrapped onto the next line. 

To Daniweb Administrators, I've just found a website which appears to be mining Daniweb data, by this I mean it has an exact replication of articles posted on Daniweb including the same usernames as those relating to members who posted content. The website is [Cyberzhub.com](http://www.cyberzhub.com) I thought I probably should …

Click the date link should take me directly to the last post of the thread, but it doesn't do that any more.

I've noticed there isn't a php forum in the software development section. It would be cool if one could get created.

Hello, I love dani web its great, however anyone can vote comments/articles down right? I have noticed down votes bieng given for perfectly helpful comments. I recieved one recently when i was legitimetly trying to help. I think some sort of privilege should be needed to down vote comments/articles. Would …

I tried to upload a sample project in zip form at 10:00 CDT today (around 150K) and all I get is **The file could not be written to disk**.

This may look as a very silly question, so be it. I recently was advising a new member to read the rules, but to my astonishment I could not find them myself! Tried different search terms and other ways, believe me. Perhaps a clearly visible button? Nice greetings to everyone …

I was just looking a this thread with a lot of quotes (people quoting each other) and there were these really weird graphics (see the attached snapshot). I'm using Chrome: Google Chrome 26.0.1410.63 (Official Build 192696) OS Linux WebKit 537.31 (@147513) JavaScript V8 3.16.14.11 Flash 11.2 r202 User Agent Mozilla/5.0 …

I just noticed that Perl and Python are under the Software Development category, but not Web Development, while Ruby is under Web Dev and not under Software Dev category. Don't get me wrong, they *do* belong where they currently rest, but perhaps a link to Perl, Python and Ruby could …

Hi, I am not able to send a private message. There is no button to send a private message under the Private Messages tab. Is the section in the maintainance phase? Appreciate any help. Thanks & Regards, YogeshP

Hello there! I noticed a little bug. I was trying to write a nested list, like this one: * Item One * Item Two 1. Item One 2. Item Two * Item Three I'm not sure this is related, it appears almost fine in the preview box, but it adds …

http://www.daniweb.com/api/members/94719/articles?page=1&filter=watching&orderby=lastpost&access_token=MY_ACCESS_TOKEN I expected four results here, but it shows only watched articles started by me (two). I want all watched articles. What did I miss?

I've just attempted to donate 25 USD (unfortunately not much but I hope it helps) to Daniweb, through the Paypal service however I haven't seen any updates to the goal ticker so I am unsure whether donation payment was successful (without getting a bank statement at the end of this …

hi , I just found a site (in chinese) which in python section has daniwebs codes , specifically all of vegaseats codes , is it legal ? www.sharejs.com

http://www.daniweb.com/web-development/php/code/452374/rss-dashboard I attached a zip file. I can see it when I "Edit Article", but it's not showing for download. Perhaps because it's a zip, or a code snippet?

If you look at my profile currently I appear to have the sponsor badge twice.  Edit: It is also appearing when hovering over my username on posts to view badges so doesn't appear to be a graphical glitch.

Just noticed this while browsing an [article](http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/csharp/threads/451901/weird-boolean-operator-trouble), the text was first displaying like so:  However once I had expanded the 'Show Comments' it seems to straighten out to what it should be:  I am running Internet Explorer (Work laptop don't judge me!) Version: 8.0.7601.17514

hi I attached an image of a sticky. Is it possible to add a color to it so it will stand out. Since you implement a sponsor thread to have a color. It is possible to make a color for the sticky? So it can look nice. 

i was wondering if there could be some notification system like facebook which pops up a number as soon as something in your daniweb world has changed. currently , i have to refresh to get the info if im already watching the opened page , and if im opening daniweb …

Hello guys, There's always been this queston on my mind: Why doesn't the website auto add the threads you reply to as watched articles? Is this functionality meant for any other purpose? In my opinion, the reply action in a thread should work like facebook (i know... i know...): replying …

Will there be any rating score of a thread in the future? What is the **Pro** or **Con** of it?

I accidentally added a comment to Up vote before discovering that it should have been aa comment to Flag Bad Post comment. Now I can't delete the comment. Can you do that for me?

Dear Moderator, I have registered to this site an year ago but I was not visiting it for a long time.. But Now I visited this site after a very long time.. I started providing answer @ ASP.NET sections.. But to my surprise I found that someone is down-voting my …

Wondering if, and if so where, I can revoke an authorization for an API client. It would be quite useful for testing if I can revoke it, to test and debug the application flow. Now the only possibility (AFAIK) is to add a new application.

I wanted to update my signature, but it says I can only add upto four lines. Unfortunately it counts the markdown lines, not the result. See attached image. 

Is it possible to change my username? If it is, can i do it myself, or does a admin have to do it for me? If the last one, could an admin please change my username from "Little and good" to "SWAT"?
