Remove Filter  | The DaniWeb member list has been recently reintroduced, and with some additional featuers to boot ... For the last handful of years, it was only available as a bare bones moderators-only tool. I've added a bunch of filtering and sorting onto it, and you can now access it via the … |
| | So apparently Microsoft Word’s latest release shows a grammar error if you do two spaces after a period, this ending the debate of which is correct. I used to do two spaces after a period back on my old Apple IIGS with its mono spaces font. However, I’ve always said …  |
| | Lots of CSS changes over the past two days (clear your browser cache to experience them!) and a new homepage to boot. Whatcha think of the homepage changes? Does it do a good job explaining what DaniWeb is all about?  |
| | Someone had posted recently (can't find the thread right now, I think it might have been via private message) asking for the ability to mark topics read through the cog dropdown when viewing the list of topics. If you clear your browser cache to freshen the javascript files, then you … |
| | Anyone see any fun april fools pranks on the web today? I think most companies (I know Google has) have decided not to do it this year.  |
| | What is the difference between setting a cookie domain to `www.site.com` vs `.www.site.com` when I want to limit a cookie to the www subdomain?  |

| | Soooo I unfortunately had to close my coworking space, DaniPad, for who knows how long. #coronavirus With no income, I want to temporarily suspend the $600/mo we are paying for business-class Verizon Fios. The online portal says you have to call on the phone to make these kinds of account … |
| | My boyfriend got me an Oculus Quest as an early birthday gift, and while I love it, he loves it wayyyyy more. Does anyone have any game recommendations? Unfortunately, the Oculus Quest does not share a marketplace with the Oculus Rift, and since the Quest has only been out since … |
| | To incentivize potential answerers, sponsors now enjoy double their reputation power ... in other words, how many points you can influence someone else's reputation by.

| | I'm trying to use CSS as so: <link rel="stylesheet" media="screen and (max-width: 991.98px)" href="/files/mobile_css/daniweb.css" type="text/css"> <link rel="stylesheet" media="screen and (min-width: 992px)" href="/files/css/daniweb.css" type="text/css"> I want to load one CSS file for our mobile layout and a different one for our desktop layout. The problem is the web browser always downloads … |
| | I have always known that urlencode() encodes spaces as plus signs and rawurlencode encodes spaces as %20. However, I always struggled to know when to use which. I just finally learned today that you should use rawurlencode() if encoding URI paths and urlencode() if encoding query strings. Who woulda thunk … |
| | Our CSS and JS files are not being re-downloaded by web browsers when we update them. The response headers look like this: cache-control: max-age=7776000 content-encoding: gzip content-type: text/css; charset=UTF-8 date: Sat, 01 Feb 2020 02:41:59 GMT etag: W/"5e34c19d-68a08" expires: Fri, 01 May 2020 02:41:59 GMT last-modified: Sat, 01 Feb 2020 … |
| | Google PageSpeed Insights indicates a score of 90+. However, the same pages still fall into the slow speed category in Google Search Console Chrome UX report. It says FCP is longer than 3 seconds (3.1s average). What is some low hanging fruit I can do to help real world performance? … |
| | Does anyone here use reddit, and if so, what do you like the most about it?  |
| | I know it’s been a long time coming, but better late than never. In your control panel, you can now choose to hide your location from others in your member profile. |
| | I'm the founder of DaniWeb. Here's my [about me](https://www.daniweb.com/welcome/about) **Ask Me Anything!! :)** |

| | This page keeps crashing on my iPhone, both in Mobile Safari as well as Chrome. https://www.daniweb.com/connect/developers/endpoints |
| | Does anyone have any experience using Ezoic to increase site speed? Namely ... * Is their site speed increase predictor accurate? * Does complicated Javascript still work perfectly? What are the trade-offs? * What is their pricing?! It says it's based on traffic, once the free trial ends, but I … |
| | We lost a lot of Google traffic beginning Tuesday, December 10th. Has anyone else experienced an algorithm update around this date? It seems to be related to [this article](https://www.seroundtable.com/december-11th-google-search-ranking-algorithm-update-28673.html) on Search Engine Roundtable that shows that there's some chatter going on. |
| | I went to Disney World for Thanksgiving break, and all those germs got to me, and I now have bronchitis. On top of it, my laptop (the only computer I have here in California) suffered from battery swell, and needs to have its battery replaced, which means that the Apple … |
| | Before anyone files a bug report, we are no longer pretty printing (using javascript to add line numbers & color coding) code snippets when on mobile browsers for performance reasons. It's not that it was particularly non-performant on mobile. It's rather just that I'm working hard to improve performance across … |
| | I'm getting ` Session: Error while trying to free lock for ci_session` show up in the error log a couple times a minute, sometimes, and every 15 minutes other times. Using Redis for sessions. It's not happening on a different server that has almost the same code base and is … |
| | Is anyone still encountering the problem of posts not going through? |
| | Someone posted a comment in the [php usleep manual](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.usleep.php) that usleep() consumes CPU cycles whereas sleep() and time_nanosleep() do not. Is this true for PHP 7.x?  |
| | As of today, DaniWeb offers a completely ad-free experience to sponsors!! What do you think? Is it enough to sway you to donate $5/mo for all the benefits you get?  |
| | Does anyone have any experience with EBDA? As a publisher, how can I leverage it as an alternative to header bidding? |
| | Living in California, I periodically need to log into my computer that's back in my home in New York. Not that often, typically just a couple times a year. But today, when attempting to connect, I got an error message saying, "The remote TeamViewer is running an old version which … |
| | Hi, A notification just started showing up in my AdSense that says: **Earnings at risk - You need to fix some ads.txt file issues to avoid severe impact to your revenue.** It gives me the ability to download an ads.txt file and upload it to my domain root. Here are … |
| | Hey there forum lurkers - all you people who are browsing the site but still haven't taken a minute to sign up. I just thought it would be a nice idea to welcome you all to the forums. Why not drop us a line and say howdy here? Heck, you … |
| | 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 … |
| | A lot of forums and blogs have links at the bottom of the article to jump to the Previous Post or the Next Post, by way of various forum and blog system PrevNext plugins. More recently, Q&A platforms have been shifting to show a sidebar listing of other similar questions … |
| | 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`. |
| | 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 … |
| | I'm looking for some alternatives to Swagger UI that I can use with my API's swagger file to generate our official documentation. So far I've been looking at Apiary and ReDoc. Does anyone have any favorites? Which are the most intuitive for api documentation? Ideally I'd be looking for one …  |
| | Member profiles now have a new statistic that measures impact. It counts how many people the user has reached. It should be noted that we just started calculating this number earlier this year, so at this time, the highest number is roughly one million. |
| | Chrome just prompted me to restart to update to the latest version, as it sometimes does. I did it, and the browser looks *entirely* different. Completely unexpected. It looks more like Firefox now, IIRC. Not really a problem with it, just surprised and thought I'd comment. |
| | I'm trying to save DaniWeb. :) What are the biggest pain points you have with DaniWeb? If you don't visit DaniWeb as much as you used to, what changed? Where do you go now instead of DaniWeb? What makes other resources better?  |
| | Last week, we've had the most number of new member signups, excluding members who have been banned, for the first time in over a year! Good job, everybody :) |
| | We just recently (read, today) implemented SameSite cookies to prevent CSRF attacks. The thing is, while there's a decent amount of information online about the benefits of them, I can't find any other sites that implement them. Not even any of the big ones I would suspect were spearheading something … |
| | It is with deep regret that I inform everyone that it just very recently came to my attention that the DaniWeb database was breached in December 2015. Over a million user profiles, including email addresses and IP addresses, were stolen. Logins and passwords were protected through an additional security layer … |
| | I know a lot of the regulars and moderators are unhappy with the content currently on the homepage. In actuality, the homepage is designed to be an overview of what DaniWeb has to offer for newbies, while catering to more active DaniWeb members by only showing articles that are in …  |
| | As Google+ is being deprecated, I need to migrate my Oauth 2 off of Google+ and into the Google Sign-In authentication system. So far, I changed the list of scopes from `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login email` to `profile email`. However, I'm struggling trying to find in Google's docs what to change the endpoint … |
| | What's the difference between LCASE() and LOWER() in MySQL? I found places on the web that said they're similar but not a synonym for each other, so I'm not sure what the differences are?  |
| | I need help with implementing MySQL transactions with PHP. Specifically, I'm confused between the flags `WITH CONSISTENT SNAPSHOT`, `READ WRITE`, and `READ ONLY`, what their differences are, and how they relate to table locking. I already read the MySQL reference manual but I'm still confused. |
| | If a bulk MySQL insert takes 5 minutes to complete, and one of the columns in the table is a TIMESTAMP column with a default value of CURRENT TIMESTAMP, will the timestamps of the rows that were inserted be reflective of the entire 5 minutes, or will they all default … |
| | I use `<input type="date">` and it works fine to bring up a date picker in Chrome and Firefox. However, it behaves as a normal textbox in Safari. |
| | I've recently become addicted to the Walking Dead. I was sick in bed Two weeks ago and needed something on Netflix I could binge watch. Now, as we speak, I'm posting here on DaniWeb, trying to come up with some creative stuff to write about, while I watch and try …  |
