 | You can actually reply to PMs that were sent to you, initially. You just can't send out PMs unsolicited.  |
 | PHP is a very different animal because a lot of PHP devs got their start doing it as a hobby on the side with no formal training. Therefore, I would say you can get a PHP programmer for as little as $20/hr, but a good one would be $100-150/hr. |
 | Re: avatar It should be 80x80, not sure why it would be deformed as long as you upload a square avatar. |
 | Maybe DrEinstein can help other people, not just the op? ;) |
 | You can bring up the dialog box asking the user "Would you like to bookmark this page?" but, as far as I know, you can't do anything without there intervention and approval. Regardless, anything you would do would be done through Javascript, not PHP. |

 | Re: About Backlink Any backlink (as long as it's not from a bad neighborhood) can help. Nothing is a waste of time ... even if it sends ONE visitor to your site, that's one more visitor than you had before. However, don't expect there to be a miraculous difference from just one or … |
| | > i cant send private messages for myself anymore and i just really dont know why, We had a lot of problems with Private Message spam recently, so we now require I think it's 10 posts before you can have full PM access. You're almost there :) |
| | If you have two separate logins, one old one, and one through FB login, then they are entirely unrelated and there is no way to merge them. If you wish to be able to use the FB login feature with your original account, then change the email in your member … |
| | Re: Code igniter DaniWeb uses CodeIgniter, and it's my first time using a web framework. It was really easy to catch onto and it's really lightweight. They make it easy to overwrite any built-in library (which you should be doing often, because some of them are horribly designed!) Regardless, we do use a …  |
| | I did a computer science degree and they really don't teach you the intricacies of any particular programming language. It's more about just being able to think logically and a lot of math. I would agree with deceptikon. Start with IT and pick up programming on your own. Create a …  |
| | I think they each have their own strengths and weaknesses, but I decided to switch for 3 reasons: 1. Davey would be able to tell me if I'm right or wrong, but I feel like Markdown is much better for our editorial markup. It's just overall simpler and more intuitive … |
| | > All participants in a thread will receive a notification about a thread being responded to if they have "recieve mail from DaniWeb" checked in their account settings. Else they will not be notified. They need to have Receive Email from DaniWeb enabled, but they also need to be watching … |
| | Everyone else seems to understand, it seems, but I'm actually confused by your question. You want to rank for certain keywords in Google? It's a combination of backlinks and keyword density. |
| | Create a Facebook Fan page. Invite your FB friends to it and encourage them to 'like' it. Use TwitterFeed (or, I think it's a native feature of FB/Twitter nowadays?) to cross-post between the two. Post regularly with awesome, interesting things that are share-worthy and that people are going to Like … |
 | Hmm ... strange that the markup language would remove them. Test: `' '` Hmm ... |
| | Sorry to log everyone out, but I made a change to the login mechanism and the way cookies are stored to increase security. |
 | You cannot have any code-like characters, such as curly braces, outside a code snippet. |
| | I would check out either vBulletin, which you know of already, or Xenforo.com. DaniWeb is a proprietary script that is currently not available for purchase. |
 | Hi, Thank you for your concerns. We were having a LOT of problems with the old system, and therefore switched to a new system. In doing so, it significantly affected our Google traffic, which is the cause for the decline in posting activity. We haven't really "driven people away" with … |

| | If you're changing all the single quotes to double, you need to change the double to single. $form = '<div class="button">...</div>';  |

| | I actually get my best backlinks from forum posts. I usually post in webmaster forums, so the posts usually revolve around my site. That, in combination with a relevant backlink to my site usually really helps. What many people fail to realize is that by posting in other forums related … |

| | This *should* do it ... it's untested though. # Force everyone to use www.example.com RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.example.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L] RewriteRule ^index.php$ http://www.example.com [R=301,L]  |
| | I know in the past, they were treated as different sites, but I think Google has gotten smarter since then. Regardless, you should always choose to use just one of them, and 301 redirect the other to the preferred one. Do all marketing just with whichever you prefer. Google Webmaster … |
 | HTML 5 is not fully supported yet, but a lot of what it does offer does downgrade cleanly. A lot of times you can get away with some non-necessary HTML 5 features that will only improve things as more people start to upgrade their browsers, but aren't critical to go …  |

| | Re: Regarding W3C Well you're correct in that the W3C publishes standards, but I'm not so sure they develop computer software as well.  |

 | We geolocate based on the IP addressed used when you registered, mostly for the purpose of spam-protection. |
| | We've had this for at least five years. We got rid of it last year due to being hit by Google Panda and some backlash from people who don't realize you can click right out of it, but thought we were putting a login wall in front of our content, … |

| | DaniWeb retains full rights to everything posted on the site. We do this for a few reasons. 1. If someone posts something in violation of our rules (spam, illegal, etc.) then it's important that the DaniWeb moderation team be able to modify it / delete it to our liking. (We … |
| | Linux development and windows development both have their own nuances. IMHO, the operating system gets just as involved with ASP.NET as it does with any nix-based programming. That being said, the *very* vast majority of DaniWeb visitors are Windows folks ... and I have the analytics to prove it! :-P |
| | What do you mean the editor that was not used? Huh?? |
| | Hey, I was just wondering if you guys miss having article views? Is it an incentive to see how many views your article received? Or can you live without it? vBulletin's view counter was always just a simple increment counter everytime a thread was fetched from the database. However, that … |
| | Hey there and welcome to DaniWeb! We have a policy in our Internet Marketing forums where no URLs to your site or site advertisements of any kind are allowed, so I had to snip out your URL. Once you reach 10 posts, you can post in our Webmaster Marketplace or … |
