| | Re: Gmail swap forum Not too keen on the idea of a gmail-only forum because I only want to have forums which stick and stay around for the long haul. I don't really want to create something that is only because of the latest "fad" - it will subside once gmail goes public. If … |
| | Two questions. The first, is what version of OS X is this. Also, when the OS was initially installed, was it a clean install, or was it an upgrade from a previous version? (i.e. an upgrade from Jaguar to Panther or Panther to Tiger?) The second question is have you … |

| | To answer your question Justin, Avi currently lives in Jersey about 20 minutes outside the city, and he prefers living in the city ... suburban life is different than city life after all ;) |
| | Yes, even a site like DaniWeb where members register and post ... is member-driven. All you will need is a server-side program which is backed by a database such as PHP.  |
 | Create an .htaccess file in your root directory and put the following: [code] [size=2]Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^forumdisplay.php?f=([0-9]+)$ ./forums/forumdisplay.php?f=$1 [R=301, L] RewriteRule ^showthread.php?t=([0-9]+)$ ./forums/showthread.php?t=$1 [R=301, L] [/size][/code] Let's examine the first rule.

| | I am currently finishing up my B.S. in Computer Science at a local private University. When I started a couple of years ago, C++ was taught in the intro to programming course for freshmen. About two years later, Java was taught as a first language. (I disagree with that because …  |
| | Re: Weird request Oh goodness, you've been here quite awhile, now haven't you? techtalkForums and DaniWeb are the same site ... we just changed our name when we expanded to be more than just technical support :) Any old posts you made should still exist. Unfortunately, with 50,000 members, the number of members … |
| | I know I'm a bit late, and I apologize for that, but I just read the article (I found it through a google search!!) and I enjoyed it. Thanks! :) |
 | Re: Image The forum is closed for posting icon? Ahh, yes, since I don't have any closed forums (and don't plan to in the near future) I just never bothered making up an image. I will soon, promise :) |
 | This is a server issue when trying to access one of two threads on this forum that have 500-1000+ replies. When doing a search for the last post in the thread, the database has to traverse through all 500 posts before figuring out which is the last one. Since this … |

| | Re: Adsense problem They allow you to place the code in up to three places. However, sometimes a particular page doesn't have enough content to have enough ads available for all three spots. Therefore, it will begin filling the ad spots from top down, and it will leave ad spaces it can't fill … |
| | That can be done by editing the forumhome_subforumseparator_post and forumhome_subforumseparator_nopost templates, and replacing a comma with a <br /> Then, in the vB options, choose to show subforums on the forum display templates. |
| | Re: Introduction Sounds like you have a lot of different techie interests. Welcome to DaniWeb! Hope to see you around ... everywhere from our software development section to our internet marketing section :) |
| | Hello there. Welcome to DaniWeb. Unfortunately, to prevent spamming, and those who just post for the purpose of getting visitors to their website, mentioning your site by name is prohibited. However, ways to build a community ... perhaps adding blogs, tutorials, referral systems, etc. |
| | In an effort to remain as professional as possible (and with other reasons that will be understood shortly), the DaniWeb team has decided to prohibit the use of font face, color, and size tags within posts. This will hopefully be a huge improvement to site usability, since the look and … |
| | Never were any popups on DaniWeb, and never will be any. I try really hard to stick to only relevant, high quality ads, in combination with AdSense. (However, it is a bit dependent upon who wants to buy advertising ;) ) However, we're running an HP campaign right now, in … |
 | If you use Google AdSense, you cannot put other contextual based ads on the same page. A contextual based ad is any type of ad - banner, text, etc - that dynamically spiders the page content and displays relevant advertising on-the-fly like AdSense does. In addition, you cannot put other … |

 | Re: Link Swapper There are quite a bunch of programs and scripts out there that claim to be the best link swap directory. In general, there are ones that are pretty good. When looking for one, make sure that it has the following, lifesaving features: [list] [*]site visitors can automatically post their site … |
| | There was another post located here [thread]636[/thread] regarding the same question. It turns out that QBASIC is a 16-bit language, just like Windows 3.1 was. Windows 95 and above were 32-bit with 16-bit support. Starting with Windows XP, however, Microsoft has decided to strip the 16-bit support. Therefore, your Qbasic … |

 | Really good program. I have version 8 though, and it's a lot better than 7. You can edit your partitions from the windows program, then restart your computer, and it will do the actually repartitioning for you before it loads Windows back up. But if you have a clean hard … |
| | Hey there Oscarr. Welcome to DaniWeb. To eliminate those fellas who just register on the forums to spam, there is a 10 post minimum before you can use a signature. It looks like you have two more posts to go. So once you post, you'll automatically gain the ability to … |
 | Re: Why Use XHTML? Thank you Chris for making me feel like I didn't waste my weekend making the DaniWeb header, footer, and homepage CSS-based and table-less. :)  |
| | I agree that the old way was not very intuitive. I therefore wanted to make it better when redoing the site, but I thought I'd leave it as one of the last things to do and then figure it out after everything else was done. And it seems I've forgotten … |
| | If you ever get a 404 File Not Found error, it's always on my end. But I'm confused where the problem is. If I go into the Control Panel, what do I click on to duplicate the error?  |
| | Yes, it is a user-based option. You can select to view threads the linear way or the threaded way. :) |
| | Right click on your desktop. Click on "Arrange Icons By" and make sure "Lock Web Items on Desktop" is disabled. When it is enabled, you get the blue border. |
 | Re: two questions Question 1 - You have about 15 minutes to edit a post (and post attachments) after it has initially been posted. There is no need to delete attachments in the future because there is no limit on the maximum number of attachments that you can upload to the system. Question … |

| | Teaching your little ... err, grandson, perhaps?? to play with guns?  |
| | I think that a better approach is to do something similar to the moreover hack for phpBB (although I don't remember exactly what it's called). Basically what it does is take an RSS feed that you want to syndicate and cache the HTML output to a txt file that updates … |
| | Re: Curious MSN and Yahoo are used more by the mainstream audiences while Google is used more among computer enthusiasts, webmasters, and more computer saavy audiences. |

| | Google allows you to buy PPC campaigns that link directly to the eBay domain name or to some other domain that you don't own. There is no reason for the redirect. |
| | When advertising your site in various places, try using a query string. For example: [url="http://www.site.com/?adwords"]www.site.com/?adwords[/url] [url="http://www.site.com/?newsletter"]www.site.com/?newsletter[/url] etc. It's a good way to label all of the different places you're getting traffic from. Then, use your favorite traffic statistics analyzer - such as Urchin or Hitbox - and you can track … |
The End.
