Just one question ... it says Legal Size glass 8.5" x 11", but that's letter size ... Legal is 8.5" x 14"?

Davey used our default response because we VERY often get email requests to "remove my information from your database". That being said, we don't remove user profiles because they are associated with posts, private messages, etc., and therefore doing so would result in confusion and frustration for other community members.

However, we will remove all sensitive/personal information from member profiles, opt the member out from receiving any email from us, and reset their password ... Therefore, they will essentially no longer have an active account with us, and there will be no identifiable information within their (now-anonymous) member profile.

Do you have the Zoom set to 100%?

Anytime there's a thread that you like, click the little 'Like' button in the upper right of the page or to the right of this Quick Reply box.

I will investigate it tomorrow :) Apparently Facebook doesn't like DaniWeb crawling its pages ;)

By tying it into activity points, it's (hopefully) a good way to get people enthusiastic about endorsing DaniWeb, bookmarking and recommending specific pages to their friends and colleagues, growing our traffic through social media, and hopefully getting a little more independence from Google.

With the Google algorithm change significantly hurting the amount of traffic we have (as we rely so heavily on traffic from google), we're looking towards social media to drive visitors to DaniWeb. Visitors who tweet or like DaniWeb pages are basically recommending DaniWeb to their network of online friends and colleagues.

You can now earn DaniWeb activity points for "liking" or "sharing" threads on Facebook. Simply click the 'like' button on forum threads and earn two activity points :)

I have FF4 installed on my work computer (Windows 7) and my home computer (iMac) and no issues either way.

You can never rely on third party statistics :) Our top five countries (in order) are US, India comes in at #2 but has less than half the traffic of the US, followed by UK, Canada, and #5th place used to be Austrlia but it has recently been replaced by Germany.

Since the US lost half its traffic due to the algorithm change, if we were to focus on March 2011 exclusively, the US and India are now neck-and-neck, but the US is still holding tightly onto first place.

It is in the Python forum. You can find it here:

Thanks for sharing. I'm going to apply for the beta. I've been in Google betas before, actually, so maybe I'll get lucky again.

PayPal accepts debit card, I believe.

Hi, welcome :)

Sorry, I am having some trouble understanding you. I think what you're trying to say is that you want to begin web programming, and so your friend recommended you start with JavaScript. You decided to write a dropdown menu as your first script.

You were having some problems with it, so, being from Russia, you posted your question on an .ru programming forum, but you didn't receive any replies. So then you tried this site, and you received a response. So it was a good first start for you here at DaniWeb, and you hope it will continue. And you hope people will understand you :)

> Just out of curiosity, was it always available, sort of hidden away somewhere or did this just make a reappearance?
This just made a reappearance, believe it or not. Eyal can attest to how crazy I was coding.

Vernon caught that screenshot while I was in the middle of updating the page. You can now use radio buttons to select which one you want to go with.

I can't understand why jquery.js is needed on line 17, since it alredy exists on line 1. Additionally, as tinymark stated, just create one document.ready function and put lines 28, 31, 35 and 38 into it. While you're at it, lines 11 and 14 too.

HAH!

I think that the distinction between what falls under Software Development and what falls under Web Development are "most popular use" cases. There is sooo much crossover nowadays, as the same technologies are being used for both web and non-web based applications, that it's often indistinguishable.

I think that a carat is a good idea. I might just do that.

Huh? What do you mean? I haven't made any changes to the ICODE tag?? I didn't even know there ever was a problem with the icode tag?

Hah!

Wouldn't the procedure be the same regardless of the hardware?

It's been a couple of days, and Google Webmaster Tools is now showing me that page1.html is not being crawled due to being blocked in my robots.txt file, even though it is only page2.html that is actually listed in robots.txt.

This is the desired effect, in my case.

Do you think large tag clouds on a page can be considered keyword stuffing? Even if they are valuable to the end-users?

It's a library written by Kip Irvine for an Assembly textbook.

Are you using an ad blocker? Do you have DaniWeb ads enabled/disabled in your member profile?

Sorry, I can't duplicate this in Safari for OS X, Firefox for OS X, IE 8 for Win 7, IE 9 RC for Win 7, Firefox for Win 7, or Chrome for Win 7.

Thanks!

Would it just crawl (b/c when it first finds page1.html, it is a valid url for it), or would it actually index the contents of page2.html, despite a robots.txt file to disallow crawling or indexing of page2.html?

I have page1.html that is being 302 redirected (temporary redirect) to page2.html
page2.html is disallowed in my robots.txt file

Under normal circumstances, when googlebot encounters a 301 redirect from page1.html to page2.html, it will index page2.html, and when googlebot encounters a 302 redirect from page1.html to page2.html, it will index page1.html

Since, theoretically, the url of page1.html is what would be indexed, would it still be indexed considering page2.html is blocked?

It's been over a week, and most of the URLs in the SERPS are still the old ones. We are also seeing some duplicates (such as where the old URL and new URL both appear in the SERPS for the same query), which is super odd since we're 301 redirecting.

LOL, I mean website visitors in general are not going to take the time or bother to alert the webmaster if a link isn't functioning the way they'd expect.

I can't duplicate this.

> I think if I am the only member experiencing this though, I wouldn't worry about it as it seems to be working okay provided I disable the 'Send referral information' is disabled.

Well I don't want to have that attitude because it has been my experience that for every one member who brings up an issue, there are 100,000 other people experiencing the same issue who are too lazy to submit a bug report or help me diagnose it.

I think Bing tried to reverse engineer Google. That was a fail.

Exactly what happens when you click each of the following links? Please describe ...

It's funny that DaniWeb is the fourth in the list, but we have always been nofollow.

Is there any very rough estimate of how long it would take to recrawl our site, since we just changed around our entire URL structure. We are 301 Redirecting all the old urls to their new homes.

Mention both keywords on the page. But don't do keyword stuffing, where it is in an unnatural way.

Have good, quality content and encourage people to link to your site. You're not allowed to post your site URL in this forum, but check out our Website Reviews forum in the Business Exchange category, for some more one-on-one feedback.

Have you uploaded the .htaccess file?

The link takes me to a file not found page.

It's called retargeting and this is done through cookies on your website. Retargeting essentially is a service that advertisers use to drive you back to their website. They assume since you actively searched for something, that you are still interested if you left the website and you probably left because you were distracted.

Creepy, right?

The Google AdWords system allows you do this, and it's called Remarketing. In fact, DaniWeb does it, by advertising to website visitors who found us through Google search results in the hopes that they will return and join the community. The DaniWeb ads don't necessarily have to be on an IT-based website, since cookies are used to know that they were recently on DaniWeb.

WorldPay?

I would go with .co.in. It seems to be the nationwide standard (i.e. google.in redirects to google.co.in).

I echo canadafred's opinion on having two separate very niche sites. As long as they link to each other, and you have a handful of backlinks going to each one of them, I can't see the disadvantage.

Well they're not entirely separate things because you cannot give reputation without up/downvoting.

Basically, you can up or down vote.
And then, if you want your vote to affect someone's reputation, it's an "advanced feature" of voting.

Welcome back :)
