| | Do you guys feel that the portal at [url="http://www.daniweb.com"]www.daniweb.com[/url] is intuitive? Or would you rather just enter the forum index via [url="http://www.techtalkforums.com"]www.techtalkforums.com[/url] ?? Wat about the techtutorials and dazah sections? The site hierarchy / navigation was just changed this morning. So I'm curious what you guys think about this ... …  |

The server move will take place either tonight or tomorrow night, during off-peak hours. Downtime is not expected or expected to be very minimal. While the actual DaniWeb database is being moved … |

These text-based ads spider the site they're on and display relevant links targeted to the content of the current page.

| | After installing Adobe Photoshop, the program associated all of my JPG and GIF files with it, and I like it this way.

| | I'm sorry about the downtime today fellas. DaniWeb was unfortunately down from about 3pm to 8pm EST, due to complications performing a routine upgrade to the server. Unfortunately, I didn't catch that there was a problem until 8PM, when I got home from school (last day of class btw!), so … |
