Narue and others …  |

| | Can you please try cleaning out your PM inbox by clicking on the 'empty folder' link?  |
| | XHIBIT, I agree with most of what you've said except for denying access to non-registered members. What incentive is there to sign up if you don't know what types of discussions there are? The curiosity factor might get you more members registering than otherwise would, but I don't think you'll …  |
 | Providing advertising space does not increase visitor traffic. However, it does drastically affect your online presence. Firstly, of course it allows you to make money from your visitors. A good beginning program to do is [url="http://www.google.com/adsense/"]www.google.com/adsense/[/url] Banner advertising can sometimes be annoying to many visitors, however. Opening up your site … |
 | Re: unread pm There's another thread that was started with someone else experiencing the exact same problem. I will look into it. |
| | Just last night we migrated to all brand new servers. We're currently having some issues which affect uploading and storing files in the filesystem (such as attachments, custom avatars, etc), since we now have two web servers on a load balancer, and need to figure out a way to make … |
| | Just out of curiosity ... what is YOUR singlemost favorite DaniWeb feature? It can be anything no matter how big or small. For me it's the look of the category portal pages and the members who share your interests within a member profile.  |
| | Originally there was no limit. It was added out of necessity due to much abuse which landed us in many a difficult situation. I can only suggest you put your long posts together in Notepad or such before publishing them. |

 | I'm confused by what you mean. Do you mean how did I come up with the idea of starting DaniWeb? If so ... DaniWeb started as a hobby project because I enjoyed browsing other computer-related forums and learning from them. |

| | Are you using a router to share the internet connection, or the microsoft internet sharing thingie? (cable modem directly plugged into one of the machines)? It might be a problem with the cable modem or your cable company, as a last resort. Sometimes this happens on my computer ... despite … |
| | Hi Alan! Welcome to DaniWeb. I wish your wife a speedy recovery. IRC stands for 'Internet Relay Chat'. It's a very old live chat protocol, relatively speaking of course, having been around since the 1980s. However, you don't need to know all of that to enjoy it. Just visit our … |
| | I've noticed site: being updated but the toolbar is stagnant for me.  |

 | Re: Test Forum It looks like a forum filled with complete jibberish. (IMO almost embarassing for Opera) I'm confused by the point of it. Why entice new members to get accustomed to our system by submitting complete jibberish when they're already learning how to use DaniWeb by formulating interesting threads in the Community … |
 | I am not debugging anything like that this week because we've been experiencing a DoS attack all week long in addition to having to reboot the MySQL server a couple of times for various reasons. If the problem still exists after all of this is taken care of, I'll look … |
| | The table in the database which stores which of the latest threads have been read has recently been changed to a HEAP memory structure, which means that it's now completely stored in RAM. This was done because, as you can imagine, the table gets written to every time a member … |

| | I was just thinking about how much the webmaster community relies on PayPal. Do you think we'll see some competitive alternatives in the near future? It's driving me crazy how PayPal is getting greedier and greedier with commissions, etc. |
| | I wish I could help you but I really don't know. However, it would probably be more beneficial for both you and the developer do either come up with a fixed price in advance or by the hour. Once the system is developed, it shouldn't be very time consuming at … |
| | Re: Ad images Limit yourself to 2 - 3 banner advertisements per page. Always put at least one above-the-fold, meaning viewable upon loading without having to use the scrollbar. Be creative with placements in places that users will focus their eyes automatically, and blend them as much into your layout as possible. Here's … |
 | Nope, and I haven't made any changes since yesterday either. Does it happen with every thread? |
| | Regarding the reputation spam ... As if you had to guess, my take on it is that I am very against doing these things. It could have been just as effective to have come to me privately or posted some feedback saying, "Ya know, you can do so-and-so and that …  |
| | Sorry, Scribbller, but I will have to disagree. When everyone was complaining that the webmaster forums / computer forums industry was oversaturated, and were all screaming "niche forums!", I decided to take the plunge and do non-niche forums with DaniWeb. I think if done right, you could encompass everything (such … |
| | QuickBooks or PeachTree - which would be best for managing an Internet business such as DaniWeb? |
| | Re: site promotion There's really no "do this and then this and then traffic will pour in". More than anything else, it takes a lot of work, drive, motivation, and determination. For a social networking site, check out our Building a Community forum for some ideas. Read around. |
| | Re: Adverts? New questions should always be in the format of new threads. It is against our rules to post your question twice as well as posting a new question as a reply to an existing thread. A moderator will most likely delete duplicate threads or move your post if you posted … |

| | Hi, Due to conversations that have been going on in the Area 51 forum for quite some time, as well as in our IRC channel, I have decided to make reputation no longer count within the Coffee House category. To quote Davey in Area 51, "reputation is meant to be … |
| | The number of pageviews to my site has been constant for quite some time. (Or rather, steadily increasing day by day). For some reason, the number of pageviews to my site doubled today! According to my referral stats, the same number of people come in through other sites as always. … |

The End.
