 | Well we don't have a Google or Yahoo! forum so I don't see why we should have a Bing forum ;) Our Internet Marketing category is still immature compared to the other sections of DaniWeb, so I'd prefer to just build it up for now instead of subdividing it for …  |

 | [i]I found this in a few different places around the 'net - hopefully it's helpful:[/i] [font=Arial][size=5][color=#0000ff]Check for Disk Errors in Windows XP[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=2]The ScanDisk utility is not available in Windows XP. However, you can use the Error-Checking tool in Windows XP to check the integrity of your hard disk. [/size] … |
 | Yes, they're cached. Darn thing ... however, it's not as easy as clearing out the cache. Will look into it. |

| | Deleted threads marked solved before they were deleted perhaps? |
 | Re: Post total Each time that you report a post, a thread gets created in a hidden moderator forum, and your post count goes up by one, even though it's a post you can't see. |
 | The number of logged in members in each section of the site (and overall) was removed because it stressed the database just to display a count when it's possible to see the actual list of members anyways. Plus it looked bad when it just said 2 members in this section … |
 | We don't allow any images in signatures because it increases loading time with each individual post. |
| | You still have email etc though? So your Internet connection isn't lost entirely, in other words? Also you said you're not using a firewall ... what about antivirus software? Are you using any other Internet-related software that might have some effect? (i.e. popup blocker, security protection, etc.) |
 | The purpose of the voting system is so that anyone can give one point up or one point down ... irrelevant of how many posts they have, how much reputation they have, how long they've been a member on DaniWeb, etc. The purpose of it is so that the person … |
| | We had a conference the other day and decided that it wasn't that useful since there was a way to access the same links via the main navigation dropdown menu. Instead, that space at the top of the sidebar would be better served with links to today's posts, which was … |
| | Welcome, Praveen :) |
 | Test them both out and see which converts better for you. In my industry, at least (tech), AdWords can deliver more traffic but there is also more competition with certain keywords. I believe Yahoo! also has a higher minimum cost per click. AdWords also has the whole AdSense side which …  |

| | Re: tweet button It's the number of times that other people have posted about the current thread / current page on their twitter.com accounts. If you use twitter yourself, it's also an easy way to tweet about the page yourself in one-click. |
 |  |
| | Try right clicking on the empty box and choosing show picture. If that doesn't work, check your firewall. Also, try clearing out your cache and refreshing the pages. |
| | How important are keywords/description meta tags today (as opposed to in previous years)? I understand that Google doesn't utilize them anymore. Do other search engines? |
 | Hmm, that's very odd. I'm not sure how or why that's happening. It would be great if you could present me with a few more examples (when you run across them) so that maybe I can piece together a common denominator. By itself, it doesn't make much sense why it … |

| | For marketing, I would choose twitter over facebook. I associate facebook with being more for personal reasons than twitter. |
| | [B]> it was (probably) "cryptically" designed to be useful for people like you while also preventing abuse[/B] Yup :) [B]> But if you're going to attack Dani (since I assume she's the one who wrote it) at every turn, she's more likely to ignore you as a troll and use … |
| | Oooh cool :) A lot of SEOs manage multiple campaigns for their clients ... do you know what might be beneficial? Suppose I have an Ad Group with 50 keywords. Can you write a software application that checks the keywords for the number of times they're searched for and the … |
| | Aside from the SEs, my guess would be to accomidate for typos. Or ... because he used to use capital letters and now he wants to use all lowercase because it's easier to type in and such, and he doesn't want the old URLs to be broken. |
 | > why does a member with < 10 posts deserve a signature? Because when we had a requirement in place to require 10 posts before someone could add a signature, it led to everyone (including people who typically wouldn't be spammers) just creating ten super useless posts super quick just … |

I will have to check out elance and scriptlance and monster and careerbuilder and those types of sites ... trying to do something similar here with the DaniWeb member profiles and our Job Offers forums => [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/forum152.html"]http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/forum152.html[/URL] |

| | What can I do to disable public downloading of my .htaccess file? I am on a Linux box. I can't chmod the file because the web browser still needs access to it, obviously. I know that there is a line I can add to it so that it gives the … |
| | Does AdSense optimize ad units? If a particular spot performs better with image ads than text ads, does it show these more often? Or if a particular spot performs better with multiple ads than a single ad taking up the entire spot (even if it pays a higher CPC), does …  |

| | I'm a bit confused as to what you mean. What folder option? Would it be too much trouble to attach a screenshot?  |
| | I'm not really sure what a video search engine is?  |
| | Document.write prints to the current HTML page, not to the hard drive, I believe. There is no way to get JavaScript to write anything to a hard drive. You will need to use a server-side language such as PHP or ASP, to save to the server's drive.  |

 | Re: Donations? Hi ... sorry, I don't really read PMs. Email is the best way to get in touch with me :) Our donation system simply lends itself the best to a subscription-based service. Aside from all of the benefits such as access to Area 51, a bold username, custom user title, … |

| | Re: Down voting Voting allows an at-a-glance view of whether a thread is worth clicking into, and this is just as useful in the Community Center as within other forums. |

| | As far as I know, QBASIC is a pretty passee language. You might consider upgrading to Visual Basic due to the simplicity to create windows applications, in addition to the fact that it is completely object oriented. Good luck! |
 | Yes :) I prefer to have the times be relative (X minutes ago, X hours ago, X days ago) because everyone on DaniWeb is from a different time zone (and only a small handful of members change their time zones in their profiles, nevermind all the guests). Therefore, this is … |
| | I have been known to find Answers.com as a result of a Google search but it's rare that I'd go there directly. Didn't even know about Yahoo! Answers TBH. |
 | Our policy is not to create new sub-forums unless we see people already talking about the topic to the point of where it becomes necessary to separate them out. Questions about silverlight can currently be asked in our .NET forums or in our Graphics and Multimedia forum. If we start … |
| | Re: AVI and Linux You can play avis with programs such as mplayer. You're in Fedora, so odds are, you're using the rpm package management system. Type [b]rpm -q mplayer[/b] to see if it's installed. If it is, type [b]mplayer &[/b] to run it. If it's not, you will need to download it from … |
| | Re: Code tags As DaniWeb grows and evolves over the course of years, things are going to change which (at leat the intention is) to be for the better for the majority of our vast traffic and memberbase. This is an inevitable. I strive to be as absolutely backwards compatible as possible, but … |
| | VMware is a program which emulates a virtual computer. The hard drive, etc. in a virtual machine don't really exist physically ... the entire virtual hard drive is really just a bunch of files on your actual hard drive. That means that if you create a virtual machine with a … |
