Perhaps this is best not posted in the VB.NET subforum ;) I'm moving it to the general .NET Framework forum so people have a chance to give an impartial opinion :)

Thanks! So many things are still broken. But I just couldn't resist holding back any longer. So I think I may have released it a tad early. A regret, yes. But what can ya do ;)

Breadcrumbs can never hurt, but they're really only needed when sites get a few levels deep. Then, they're mandatory. As far as creating polls, you should be able to :) There's an option when you create a new thread.

Our March member of the month contest revolves around which one of our members has referred the most amount of new members. :) At the end of February '03, the winner will be determined. :)

I see that you have a little HJT icon there too. Can you paste us your HJT log please? Thanks!

I answered this question a couple of other times in some other threads so I'll link you: [url="http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/showthread.php?p=106055"]http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/showthread.php?p=106055[/url] [url="http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/showthread.php?p=100227"]http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/showthread.php?p=100227[/url]

Kudos for the post Ted. But I agree - prices are completely entirely different in every industry. They differ based on where the ad is placed on the site, and what the clickthru rate is like. There are just so many factors ... ;)

With regards to cellpadding and cellspacing for tables, and padding and margins for div tags, are they included or excluded in the height and width of a table cell or element? For example, suppose I have an image of size 100x200 that I would like to enclose in a fixed …

I love easter eggs! :-D

This is really niiiice :)

After never looking at ASM before, I took a one semester course in it. The final project was creating a Space Invaders game in DOS (complete with color and sound), and I think mine came out pretty decent. So, relatively speaking, that's what I was able to accomplish in two …

Hey guys. As you may or may not know, we're currently running a donation drive. With the increasing traffic coming to DaniWeb, we're currently investigating the idea of actually purchasing a second dedicated server, so that we can have one server for Apache/PHP and another server for MySQL. Currently, a …

And you now know me too :) Err, oh, wait, you knew me before. Oh well.

What is the advantage of using an oudated version? Simply lack of recompiling the kernel, etc? Or is upgrading a linux OS just as big a process as the move from Windows 2000 to XP, for example?

What type of video card do you have? Is it securely in the PCIe or AGP slot? Is the monitor turned on and hoocked up to the video card? Do you hear any beeps at all when you turn on the computer?

It works. It also gets you and your friends lots of junk mail and makes you sign up for lots of crap and mailing lists. But, good golly miss molly, you do get that free iPod!

Summary: Are there too many forums? Does DaniWeb try to cover too much? What would make the site feel more organized and intuitive? What do you think of the multi-color idea for each forum category, following the theme of having lots of mini-sites?

To those of you who own forums out there, what percentage of your site visitors are registered members? Do you do anything specific to increase signups?

Go with a name. A couple of reasons. The first being that admin comes off as sorta corny (or at least I think so, others may disagree). A huge benefit is that you can keep the name as your online presence. For example, when starting a forum, we all know …

Hey there Tom! Well ... your Title is based on the number of posts you have. Right now, with only 13 posts under your belt, you're a Junior Poster :) Eventually, you can move up in the ranks. If you'd like, you could purchase a forum subscription for less than …

Welcome! :)

Hey there. That's very cool! Welcome aboard and enjoy yourself :)

We have an entire category devoted to Internet Marketing ...

However, we already just cover SO much - everything that falls under the umbrella of IT. …

Do you guys know each other? Chris, I got ya to post! ... finally ;)

Try setting the padding: and margin: properties for the H1 tag CSS.

While I unfortunately don't know of any free forum hosting companies that are really worth it, the following thread may interest you: [url="http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread12899.html"]http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread12899.html[/url]

I think that you can accomplish nearly anything you want in CSS - and have the site be accessible to everyone. What do you mean by all CSS-based sites looking the same? The entire DaniWeb header was created exclusively in CSS ;)

I would go with GoDaddy, definitely :) phpBB is also a good, premade php forum software. Just make sure that your host has php/MySQL support. Dreamweaver MX is a good option because of its learning curve - you can begin by using it as a WYSIWYG editor. When you feel …

Never heard of that one, sorry. Have you tried the Microsoft Knowledge Base ??

We have a new forum structure around here ... please take a looksie around and then let me know opinions! Thanks :)

upgraded from millenium to xp; cd player does not work

I'm an IE user, but I agree it's more insecure than Firefox is. The reason being that Internet Explorer is so integrated with Windows that it's easy to "hack" ... there are browser hijacks, spyware, etc. that seems to mesh itself into IE. If you take one look at our …

[QUOTE=HeldCaptive]Well, let me ask you all this.. You all say "Content, content, content!" Then how do you start a off-topic community?

A vBulletin style is composed of a number of characteristcs: templates, style variables, and CSS. Templates are the actual HTML snippets that are used for various parts of the forum. Style variables are some simple variables that define: the width of your forum, the size of the borders separating table …

No idea. :-/

I don't know about that Faranth. You can run a forum without knowing how to spell the word ;) roberdin is constantly making fun of me for using "forums" as opposed to "fora"

I think it looks a tad antiquated. May I ask what type of site this is for? I can't complain on the blues because they remind me of DaniWeb :)

I'm thinking that you're going to need something like DHTML programming to achieve what you want. Check out [url="http://www.dynamicdrive.com"]www.dynamicdrive.com[/url] However, all of the expandable ads that I've ever seen before always overlap the content. As far as overlapping other flash objects on the page, I believe they are "layered" based …

Norton Security software might also have that Norton protected recycle bin thingy which replaces the standard Windows recycle bin. Perhaps a Norton install/uninstall gone wrong?

I'm not sure if this will work, but this is how I would do it. First, I would open the file in Photoshop. Then, I would create a new layer on top of it. I'd use the same pen color to draw over the image in the new layer. Then, …

I never heard of this program until you just posted. It looks like it might have some hidden costs ... I mean, I haven't seen a good free P2P internet telephony program in years.

Some people have noticed that different ad sizes and even the placement of ads has a lot to do with what ads are displayed - crazy, isn't it? It's always a good idea to have your adsense code above site navigation in the HTML code ... this way, it's not …

Thanks for the notice! Tonight when I went to check my AdSense statistics, I noticed I had to reaccept the TOS. Haven't yet had a chance to check out the new features. Will post feedback when I do :)

You're actually going to need ten posts before you can post in the Site Reviews forum (to help with spam). But that's the only place that posts like that are allowed :)
