| | I'm having a brain fart and for some reason it's not coming to me how to do this right now. I'm trying to tally up a table, and store the results in a different table. Like so user score ---- ----- 1 4 1 5 1 2 2 1 2 … |
| | When browsing a forum listing, you can now click on the link that tells how many replies there have been to load a lightbox showing how many contributors there have been and who they are, along with their reputation. You can now quickly see the quality of the people who …  |
| | Nearly 5 am and I lost track of time and spent alllll night coding up our new homepage, which features our Activity Stream. Secondly, there's now a 'New' tab within each of the forums to sort articles based on created date as opposed to last post date (which of course …  |
| | Years ago, DaniWeb had a bigger following in the Hardware/Software section than we did across our development forums. We were really huge into virus removal and hijackthis logs, for example. However, we did a complete 180 over the past 5+ years. What features and functionality do you hardware and software … |
| | I currently have an ad group that is set to Default bid $0.02 and Display Network bid auto. Under the Display Network tab, in the Interests & Remarketing section, I have two types of audiences that I have a +100% bid adjustment for. Under the Topics section, I have a …  |
| | Super weird. I used to always hit Alt+S to submit a DaniWeb form. My Windows 8 installed some Windows Updates, and now it doesn't work: just a 'ding' error noise instead?  |
| | Aside from one-off removal requests in Google Webmaster Tools, is there some automated way (atom feed with PubSubHubBub, etc) to tell Google that pages have been permanently removed? |
| | Lots of member profile changes over the past day, plus a new tab for a member-specific activity stream. However, due to limitations, the member-specific activity stream (just like the activity stream on our homepage), is only capable of pulling from the past 7 days. So the tab only appears for … |
| | As you guys know, I've been putting a LOT of focus and energy lately on building up the community. With the recent changes to the homepage, member profiles, etc., do you like the direction we're headed in? Any suggestions?? |
| | As mentioned in another thread, as of a day or so ago, we have a new algorithm being used to generate the list of Recommended Articles in the bottom toolbar. I was just wondering if anyone found them increasingly relevant? The algo is custom tailored to you based on your … |
| | Today, my Yorkshire Terrier, who I had since the 9th grade, passed away :( https://www.facebook.com/dani.at.daniweb/posts/10153577862480075 I actually started DaniWeb.com in high school as a photo album all about Sheyna (and my maltese, Mitzi, who I got a year later), and it eventually expanded into a community of yorkie and toy … |

| | This was posted in a behind-the-scenes forum yesterday, but here it is for everyone today: There have been a LOT of changes so far, and more to come. Most of what's happened so far has dealt with OAuth. A lot more security on the backend and more in line with … |
| | I'm active on Twitter and I syndicate everything I write into Facebook automatically. I want to get started with Google+, but I don't want to have to post there separately. Is there a way to have what I write in Facebook/Twitter posted to Google+ too? |
| | In light of vBulletin getting hacked due to hackers gaining the ability to log in as a moderator, we are being proactive and changing our method of storing and checking user passwords. Although we are no longer on the vBulletin platform, and are absolutely not susceptible to being hacked in … |
| | In trying to become more mobile-friendly, what features currently don't work in mobile? I know you can't vote on posts, right? Not showing the last post timestamp or the navigation menu dropdown menus are by design. |
| | I've done a lot of work over the past two days trying to make DaniWeb more mobile-friendly. It's *no where* close to perfect, and it's certainly not a mobile-optimized skin, but it should make normal browsing on the site a bit easier. I've been focusing around tablet devices, and currently … |
| | It's most likely on my end, but I can browse the web just fine, but for some reason I can't access either Facebook or Twitter?! I can do a google search, and no issues with any other sites I've tried browsing to so far. I'm home, and not behind a … |
| | Our forum threads have the URL format /category/threads/123. Each post within a forum thread has a permalink URL /category/threads/123/1 and /category/threads/123/2, which jump to the specific post on the page. Regardless of which URL you use, I am setting the canonical URL to /category/threads/123. Should I also set the meta … |
| | Bing Webmaster Tools SEO Analyzer feature has an error message "There are multiple <h1> tags on the page." Are there really not allowed to be multiple H1 tags on the page? |
| | I use tooltips via the title attribute to give helpful advice about what different elements on the page mean. However, there's a lot of redundancy both on the same page and between pages. Can this hurt me, or does Google pretty much understand/expect you to be doing this? |
| | I know that there's mention of this date in another thread I started here, but I wanted to draw attention to it. We lost 50% of our traffic on Tuesday, November 20th, 2012, and haven't recovered since. That day I don't believe lines up with a Google Panda algorithm update … |
| | What features do you like or use in other forum systems that you think would be a good fit here on DaniWeb? |
| | I've made a handful of changes to member profiles tonight. One of the changes I made was to include little blurbs below Reputation, Post Quality Score, Endorsements and Solved Threads explaining what those statistics mean. Do you think that now member profiles are too wordy and redundant? Is it more …  |
| | Working on a new feature that will accept tutorial submissions. How many of you guys would actually contribute unique tutorials to DaniWeb? :) (Just trying to get a rough idea that will help guide me on how to set this thing up) |
| | Over the past day and a half, I've worked on generating our own in-house thumbshots service, instead of relying on the commercial product at thumbshots.com for the website screenshots seen when hovering over links and in member profiles. Doing so will save us $500 a month, so that's good news … |
| | Noticed a new look for AdSense ads today. *MUCH* cleaner!! Also a very welcome improvement after the email I got last month saying that Google was winding down the custom AdSense code for premium publishers (too hard to manage).  |
| | We had an issue with our load balancer yesterday which resulted in one of our six web servers sending 404 responses for all requests. Obviously traffic was way down during the outage, but there was no significant recovery after the outage ended. I'm worried that googlebot came to crawl us …  |
| | What is the difference between Pascal and Delphi? I heard they're like the same language? |
| | Ever since 2008, Google has been figuring out which content are forum discussions, and showing the number of posts, authors, and the last post timestamp as meta information within the SERPS description. They're pretty accurate when it comes to any vBulletin forum, and even StackOverflow (which is a unique Q&A … |
| | Up until now, the chat logs have taken into consideration the time zone you have set in your member profile, and they are GMT time for people who aren't logged in. However, they are now GMT time for everyone. This eliminates the confusion of a particular message towards the beginning/end … |
| | When we switched over from vBulletin to our own unique platform back in March 2012, one of the things that changed was the way that post quality score was calculated. Most members noticed their quality score had suddenly changed by a few points. Since then, however, over the past year …  |
| | Using a CSS background gradient and, in Chrome, it just shows up as solid black if the div is greater than 32,000 pixels. background-color: white; background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #EEE9F0 10%, white); background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #EEE9F0 10%, white); background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #EEE9F0 10%, white); background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top, #EEE9F0 10%, white); background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, #EEE9F0, white); … |
| | As we all know, the latest version of Panda (hit in March 2013) was the last one to be pushed out manually. Google announced that from now on, Panda will be integrated into the main Google algorithm and will be a rolling update. As someone who was hit in November …  |
| | This seems kinda random but basically I have the following member function in my caching class: public function increment($key, $expires = 0) { // Requires OPT_BINARY_PROTOCOL return $this->cache->increment($key, 1, 0, $expires); } So then I want to do flood protection like this: $cache->increment('foo', 10) > 50 90% of the time … |
| | Receiving this CodeIgniter message in my error log every so often (and by every so often I mean quite often): ERROR - 2013-07-21 07:26:40 --> Severity: Notice --> unserialize() [<a href='function.unserialize'>function.unserialize</a>]: Error at offset 124 of 187 bytes /home/daniweb/httpdocs/system/libraries/Session.php 724 Could a problem unserializing() be caused by a session cookie … |
| | I'm getting complaints today that the site, API, and chat room are all acting really sluggish and a bit funky. However, I'm not able to reproduce *anything* out of the ordinary. Can I get specific confirmation, please? |
| | My code looks like this: if (!empty($foo)) { $doc = new DOMDocument(); $doc->loadHTML($foo); $images = $doc->getElementsByTagName('img'); } And this is happening: DOMDocument::loadHTML() [<a href='domdocument.loadhtml'>domdocument.loadhtml</a>]: Document is empty in Entity, line: 2 |
| | I'm attempting to use Gogole Analytics event tracking to track browser viewport size. I'm using event tracking already in a bunch of other user-initiated places with jQuery and everthing works fine. This doesn't seem to be working though: I have this at the bottom of my html page: <script type="text/javascript"> … |
| | A lot of people have been indicating they're having issues differentiating New vs Read threads in the forum listing pages. The icons are in the exact same place they were in the old skin. I went ahead and made the READ icons lighter to make the NEW icons pop a … |
| | Community activity has been WAY down since we switched over to our new proprietary platform and off of vBulletin just over a year ago. There was literally a night and day difference in activity from the day before the switch to the day after. I thought that it would just … |
| | We use hashes a lot in our URIs to jump people around to a specific place on the page. For example (www.example.com#part1 and www.example.com#part2). However, we have a static fixed header at the top of the page, and so if it tries to jump you down, it ends up plopping … |
| | There is full read and write chat functionality now added to the API :) Who wants to write two-way IRC<-->DaniWeb Chat integration? ;) Any takers ... ?? You need an access token in order to post, but it's feasable if you create a new DaniWeb account named "IRC Bot" and …  |
| | Maybe I'm just being dense, but I'm using [this documentation](https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2Login#sendauthrequest) to use Google OAuth 2 login. I'm able to successfully retrieve a JSON array that consists of the access_token, id_token, etc. The id_token is encrypted in what google calls a JWT (JSON Web Token). From what I understand, they're base … |
| | Is it no longer possible to change the crawl rate for a site in Google Webmaster Tools? Can't find the option anymore. |
| | As many of you know, we got rid of the live preview last week. Originally it was intended to just be a test to see if it was causing severe posting lags on very slow computers, but it turns out that most of the regulars prefer not having it (either … |
| | Google Panda rollout this week, confirmed by Google today, even though they previously said they were no longer going to confirm Panda updates. Word on the street is that they've softened the algorithm to not penalize border cases, and I've heard that some people are talking about recovery. DaniWeb hasn't, …  |
| | How can I change the color of a Vector Smart Object that was imported from Illustrator into Photoshop? Both products are from CS 6. When I try to do color overlay it just colors over the whole thing, and there's supposed to be a white cutout in the vector. |
| | We log complete daily transcripts of our live web chat. There are a lot of interesting conversations that go on here, but of course they are posted as short, concise messages, as one would expect from a live chat room. What are the chances that Googlebot would eat our chat … |
The End.
