Meta DaniWeb

Minor... If I go to the bottom of the Web Development forum, my logo tells me I have 40 endorsements. As far as I can tell it doesn't count the MySQL ones. In works correctly in the Databases and MySQL sub-forums. (You can also look at utrivedi's profile to confirm).

Hello Daniweb Members and Admins, I've noticed a problem when attempting to watch and un-watch articles and forum posts on the Daniweb forums. When attempting to click the watch/un-watch button it just sends me to the top of the page without taking the appropriate action. Is anyone else experiencing this …

Hi Moderators and Everyone, I posted recently about a question that I have about my code in C++ but the way I did which is possibly wrong (I did in 3 steps/replies) won't catch perhaps any attention/reply - it will probably stay that way. If that's so, can I repost …

How come my old avatar displays on the bottom of the Web Design, HTML and CSS page's endorse section (i think that's how i should call it)... does it take time to update? (BTW, if you haven't endorsed me, feel free to:) )

Here's a weird one: the latest review that I have just put up [here](http://www.daniweb.com/hardware-and-software/tablets-and-mobile-devices/reviews/443411/why-have-i-been-using-a-paintbrush-on-my-ipad) includes three images of the item being reviewed. These render perfectly fine in the editor, but are missing from the published review. Dani/James(1)/James(2) care to take a look and see what's happening?

Hello, when I try to enter to the **PHP forum** (but also in the others under **Web Development** section) I get redirected to a malformed url: http://www.daniweb.com-development/php/17 I tried also with curl: curl --head http://www.daniweb.com/web-development/php/17 HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2012 15:31:11 GMT Server: Apache/2.2 Location: http://www.daniweb.com-development/php/17 …

Hi I haven't been on Daniweb for the past few days. I notice that when I scroll down to read threads I see members profile on the bottom of each page of each section. I found it very uncomfortable seeing my profile on couple of pages. I just feel weird. …

Hello, I don't want to look like I am following other forums, but, wouldn't it be a good idea for users (with a certain amount of rep) to have basic moderation tools, or, atleast the ability to edit posts by users and: 1) The person who posted can accept this …

Can any administrator remove my name from the code section on my first thread? I don't want it to appear on Google and it seems to have already found its way on there. Thanks.

I created a thread last night and accidently forgot to put crucial information in my code. I found the edit button and quickly edited it, however I spotted another place that could help others figure out what is wrong with programming code. There is no edit option now. The only …

So, I've been thinking about it: it's 12.03.2012, and Christmas is approaching fast. Are we going to get a new Christmas theme for the site?

Hi When I look at my own profile. I notice this big change on top of my profile. **How Experienced is the Community?** What is the purpose of the "**Endorse**"? It's like you asking members to **vote** who's who or who's the best! I can't think of any reason why …

How come the editing ribbon does not show on mobile? (You know, like the thing that lets you do bolding). Do we have to memorize how do we them? I am using iPad. BTW... What is up with those check marks that show around posts?

Just noticed my watched articles are empty. Some tinkering Dani? :)

I clicked through the tweets on [this post](http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/vbnet/threads/441223/how-to-make-short-code-in-vb.net "How to make short code in VB.Net") and found the post had been tweeted by the C# tweeter, although it was in the VB.Net forum... Feature? 

Hi I notice there's a purple bar when a member click **Solve** and a bar appear and has the members name get credit for the question. I find it amused but at the same time I like. When was this installed?

So when I attempted to tag an untagged article, I received a message about not having permission to delete existing tags - of which there were *none*.... Is this a feature or by design? Thanks, JK

Does Daniweb allow people to talk about things like Cinema 4d, Photoshop, Motion, etc....? If so where do you post about them? This question is based off of my curiosity noticing that we mainly talk about hardware/software and Web...

I noticed on the home page that there are folders for different categories and languages... and some display yellow and a few are gray... why is that? And don't say this question is ridiculous.... i am curious!!

I was making an answer to a post and it ended up being much bigger in scope than the actual answer required. I thought it might make a good tutorial, but I don't see how I can post something in a "Tutorial" section directly? The only option is to "Post …

Hi I can't seem to login 10 minutes ago and now I can't post stuff on the editor? Are you doing Maintenance now? It's close to 5pm.

Hi, tried to post a longish reply just now (PHP forum) and noticed that the delete, backspace buttons were disabled. Not so on this forum. ALso the scrollbar stopped working - wouldn't scroll down at all. Using Google Chrome, Win 7 Hang fire - the backspace/delete problem just reared its …

Not sure whether this is anything major or not but noticed it while trawling the source code of the site debating making a small app to monitor when post's replies are changed. There is an error occuring of: `FB.getLoginStatus() called before calling FB.init()` in all.js line 52.

What is the recommended way to make changes to a code snippet that I have posted after the half-hour edit period is over? Would it be to add another posting with the new code or make a new posting and somehow invalidate the original, or could the edit period be …

Has anyone looked at why I can't attach files to posts using FireFox? I'm currently on FireFox 16.0.2 but I had the same problem with previous versions.

I put a shortcut on my desktop to DaniWeb.com, but it shows some default icon. Do you have one that I can repalace it with?

What are all the posting ranks, because I just noticed that (because I was blind)... So what's all the scales for them? If you don't know what I mean, I am talking about that rank you get that displays right under your avatar...

When I want to copy all the code into the clipboard all I do is double-click then copy. That works ok. But what if all I want is a few lines of the code to paste into an existing program? There is no way to do it because when I …

Hi All. I just want to ask how are reputation points acquired or given? Is it automatic? or is it given by fellow community members? I just can't figure it out. Thank you. :)

Hi there It's not a complaint just a note: when I hover over the adds on DW pages my Firefox often crashes (and says 'Well, this is embarassing...'). I learned to live with that (patience is my strong attribute) but thought you might want to know (also I do not …

Hello! I seem to have a bit of a problem here. I deleted my old avatar ( to search for one of a better quality ) and now I can not upload the new avatar. Uppon saving the avatar, I receive the error message: "There was a problem moving the …

Hi, I use firefox as my default browser. While browsing daniweb for past 2 weeks I was getting menus at wrong place. I thought you will fix it as you guys do so regularly. But I think nobody reported it yet.(I havent checked old articles). I have uploaded images so …

What's up with this questionnaire popup? Had it several times now, and going to it's website to disable it, doesn't appear to work. No, I have cookies enabled in my current browser.

 Just wondering, is the attached an intentional visual display or a glitch? Reloading the window does not reset the bar to its normal position. Edit: This is still occuring while the web browser is maximised also. Edit2: Also the alignment to the last reply to topic is off.

I apologise if I offend anyone but does anyone else find the voting system seriously non intuitive? The take back option just confuses the hell out of me and I find myself randomly clicking up/down, add comment refesh. I'm not sure if this has been brought up before, but I'd …

Hello. The problem is in [this post](http://www.daniweb.com/hardware-and-software/linux-and-unix/threads/434969/php-and-apache#post1868055). First block of code, line 5 and line 9. I see a difference between normal view and raw view (on double click). In normal view line 5 appears like: <Directory /> in raw: <Directory ></Directory> and the same happens on line 9. These …

DaniWeb is great, and I really like the new incarnation. But there are some kinds of functionality that didn't get re-implemented. The specific one I would like to see brought back is that you could click on the "New" button next to a thread (or the purple "bulls-eye" for threads …

I've noticed for some time now that the ribbon frequently is not fully visible as if it is getting painted below the bottom of the browser's window. If I change larger font size (Ctrl+mouse wheel) it shows up again, making font smaller it disappears again. I'm jusing Chrome. It works …
