| | You Canadians are weird :-P |
 | I don't use Pinterest, so I can't speak for what Pinterest users are looking for or what content they find attractive or unattractive. However, I do use Facebook to promote DaniWeb, so I can give you feedback on that side of it. First thing, I'm incredibly confused what you offer. … |

 | Hi Mikky ... Google AdWords is where advertiers pay to advertise their products across Google and publications within the AdSense network. Google AdSense is where publishers set up ads on their own site to make money. https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/76231?hl=en  |
 | > Just stop with md5. It's completely useless. Not that you're doing it, but MD5() with both a salt and a pepper are a *little* better because they make rainbow tables useless, but I would use password_hash() because not only is it more secure, but it isn't any harder to … |
| | It is a vBulletin feature to delete user accounts. However, because we are so large, we cannot do so for legal reasons placed upon us by our web hosting company and all of the major ISPs. |
| | Sorry, I'm misunderstanding what you're saying. What you described is the expected behavior, no? What appears to be broken? |

 | I use CodeIgniter, a loosely MVC-based PHP framework where models are "optional". When I began coding the current iteration of DaniWeb, I began with some of the basics of the infrastructure. I first focused on the model layer and built up the essentials of what a post looks like, what …  |
| | Sorry for the intermittent downtime over the past few days. We think we were being DDOS'ed, perhaps unclear. However, we've upgraded to new web servers tonight, to bring HTTP/2 support and *finally* move from PHP 5.x to PHP 7. A few years late, I know. Let me know if anything … |

| | Firstly, every page in the Google search results you linked to are from one specific forum. That's kinda weird ever since Google recently announced that, except in very extreme cases, they changed their algorithm to ensure that there's not more than one result per domain in the top 10 results. … |
 | > 1) Is it realistic to even consider this as a career for the next 10 years for someone my age? Assuming it is, Programming is a *huge* industry. Everything from writing hardware drivers to designing games for gaming consoles to building a website to on-page search engine optimization to …  |
 | Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Cassandra a NoSQL database? I'm sure it's possible to move all of the data into MySQL, but it wouldn't be as simple as just running a migration script. Since MySQL is a relational database, you'd have to overhaul your entire database schema, and … |
| | He’s not asking for an app to be written for him or for us to do all the work. He has an idea and wants some advice on what next steps could be. I’m on my phone so I’ll follow up with you a bit later. In the meantime, letting …  |
 | I would strongly suggest beginning by using Cafepress or even something like Etsy to sell your custom T-shirt designs. Lots of upside, they take care of getting you up and going quick, and you retain the ownership of your designs. With Etsy you’re creating the complete product by yourself so … |
| | Are you using any third party software to manage the bidding process? Are advertiser bidding on CPMs or CPCs? Do you make the process easy for new advertisers to set up a campaign on their own? Or do they have to each contact you and is it a manual process? …  |
| | Yes, font size is critical in SEO. Google is capable of fully rendering the design of a page, and the page's layout plays a role in ranking. For example, it knows if you make those H1 tags teeny tiny or that regular div tag a huge font. Additionally, if you … |
| | rproffitt, The idea of using captcha to classify photos has been around. The twist here is that website owners earn money each time the captcha is used. This benefits the website owner because they need a captcha, so they might as well make money from having one at the same … |
| | Hi there! Welcome to DaniWeb. Glad to have been found.  |
| | This is when multiple sites that you own link to each other. However, they will now quickly get you a Google penalty, ever since G changed their algorithm to focus on PBNs. (Public Blog Networks, or PBNs, are when you have a private network of lots of content sites all … |
| | Are you sure you accidentally aren't running the cronjob from multiple users on the server? Two users might have the same crontab file accidentally. Just a thought? |
| | Two words: **it's not**. In fact, Google has made it very clear that over-optimization of content is a great way to get a manual penalty. That means don't keyword stuff, or do anything similar to keyword stuffing, creating spun content, or anything like that. Focus on creating great content that …  |
| | Sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean by the image source. Do you mean the URI of the image? So, let's say you have: <img id="my-image" src="image.gif"> Then you can use jQuery to do something like: variable = $('#my-image').attr('src'); |
| | DaniWeb incorporated a live chat feature a couple of months ago, and I certainly don't regret it. It's a great opportunity to engage with people in a more laid-back setting, and also with a bit more instant gratification. I think you definitely learn 100X more about a person over the … |
| | rproffitt, may I ask why you would recommend that a small business hire a digital strategist? IMHO, this should be the CEO/CMO's job until the company is *very* well established, and certainly not one of the first handful of hires. It's often much more cost effective to outsource to an … |
| | Welcome!!!!! :) Where in the world do you live? What brings you to DaniWeb? |
| | I haven't looked at C++ in nearly two decades, but from what I can remember, it should be: cout << "enter name\n" << endl; The new line character should be \n instead of /n and also be within the quotes. However, both \n and endl jump to the next line, … |
| | Sorry, I guess I’m a little confused by what you mean by tag? HTML tag? Like `<SVG>`?  |
| | Can someone please tag this thread with the appropriate programming language? |
 | > Digital marketing is NOT SPECIAL. It's just marketing done over the Internet or some call digital signage, digital marketing. Nothing has really changed in marketing. Just a change in having more delivery options. I cannot disagree with this more. Digital marketing is unique from marketing that has been traditionally …  |

| | An oldie but a goodie, for you Canadians out there. I thought I'd make the solution provided within [this thread](https://www.daniweb.com/hardware-and-software/hardware/threads/94301/help-my-keyboard-does-french-instead-of-question-marks) a bit easier to discover for those still suffering from the problem. To switch between English and French keyboards, press `Shift+Control`. |

| | Hi, My apologies for taking so long to reply to this. DaniWeb itself is written in CodeIgniter, and I love it. I find that it's a very lightweight PHP framework, and I used it to roll my own ORM, etc. Codeigniter has a session management library, but you would still … |
| | I think he’s trying to show the format of the links to see if there is regex or something that can be used to mass deindex them. I believe wildcard characters are included. I can’t provide more advice without seeing the format of the original links that were snipped unfortunately. |
 | Yeah, traffic has been poor recently, as has activity. There was a strong uptick that lasted for a few months after our relaunch back in October, then it plateaued, and now the past few weeks have seen a decline. I'm not giving up on user matching quite yet. I'm actually … |
| | I'm not quite sure what happened, but at some point fairly recently, Chrome DevTools stopped showing things in the Console. As a web developer, I obviously frequently use this to debug Javascript. Now, instead, there will be a little red circle with an error count in the top right corner … |
| | You might be familiar with the dreaded blank page when your PHP script doesn't work. Here's how to spit out errors to the screen, instead of getting just a blank page, as well as logging errors to a file. |
| | There are two ways to write to a file in PHP. You can either open a stream, and write to it in parts, or you can use `file_put_contents()` which is much more convenient, with the trade off being that it takes up much more memory, and is not ideal if … |

| | Re: algorithm Big Oh It would help if you gave us some more information about what it is about Big O notation that you find confusing. Where are you stuck? What, specifically, is confusing you that we can help with? |
| | We have a Swagger file for our API, but in our API documentation, we want to show valid responses for each endpoint. I coded up this little recursive function in PHP which takes our Swagger file and spits out a valid response. I use it as follows, for each individual … |
