A 500 response, eh? I wish I knew specifically what the error message was :(

It's a known bug but I thought it only showed its face after moderator action, so that's why I ignored it. It happens after replying as a normal user??

Glad that helped you. I'm going to go ahead and mark this thread as solved. In the future, please mark threads you start as Solved once you've received help. Thanks!

Hi,

I'm a little bit confused by what you're asking. When you say "loaded" do you mean displayed??

So, in other words, here on DaniWeb, you can use the vote up / vote down arrows next to each post. If you've voted on a post in the past, then the arrow that you picked is forever highlighted.

What we do is have a posts table and then a separate votes table. The posts table has columns for who posted the comment, the actual comment, and the unique post id of the comment.

The votes table has a column for who voted and the unique post id that was voted on.

What you would then do when querying the posts table of the database for comments on a particular photo is, if the end-user is logged in, JOIN the votes table by SELECT'ing on rows where the voter is the logged in user and the post id is one of the post ids already being pulled for the specific photo. This also gives you the ability to query the database for all of the posts voted on by a particular member over time.

Of course, it would be silly to fetch ALL comment IDs every time a member logs in because, over time, there could be tens of thousands, all loaded for no reason!

Do what you want with your own personal website. It's yours to do what you want with. If people want to visit because they like what you offer, then fine. If they don't like it, they don't have to come back.

P.S. Different personalities is what makes the world go 'round. I think that's what makes for the best community ... that there's always the super arrogant one, and the super funny one, and the smart one, and the egotistical one, and the extra helpful one, ...

It seems from your post that you took offense to iamthwee's personality, but yet you found members such as ddanbe and Ancient Dragon very helpful and pleasant. Well ... we're a community of over one million members. Like any community in the world, there are going to be people you like, and people that rub you the wrong way. When you say you're going to leave the site due to a poor interaction with one of our members, I can't help but think that it's near synonymous to you wanting to move out of your otherwise pleasant neighborhood, with neighbors you're friendly with, because someone cut you off and directed a serious case of road rage towards you on your way to the local supermarket.

Iamthwee is known for needing an attitude adjustment from time to time. That's why when you look at his member profile, he only has a 59% Post Quality Score, as opposed to 85% for Ancient Dragon or 93% for ddanbe. The community, as a whole, via member profiles, tend to be pretty good at weeding out the best from the worst. But that's like any real world community too. Only, in the real world, the more arrogant of the bunch don't wear a scarlet letter.

If there's one takeaway from this thread, it's that scooters aren't safe. You hear that, parents? Don't get your kids a scooter.

I think it's wishful thinking to make it sound so easy to write software that is unhackable. Obviously everyone already tries to do that anyways, and very few succeed. And then, if they do, it's not so simple as just finding the bug and calling it a day ... there could be billions of dollars at stake for every uncaught bug.

Blowfish is an algorithm used to one-way encrypt specific strings, such as passwords, in a database. You can't encrypt an entire operating system, of course ... because (1) decrypting on-the-fly would potentially slow it down too much to be a mainstream option and (2) then it wouldn't be open source if you couldn't read its source code, would it? It's the algorithms and unknown bugs that get exploited, and if you don't know a particular thing is a vulnerability, you wouldn't know to encrypt it in the first place.

Oh, I see. But if the source code for operating systems were released, wouldn't that just be an invitation for hacking? Right now linux doesn't have the virus issues that windows does simply because it's not as mainstream, and those who do use it tend to be smarter about security.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that anything released under the GNU GPL needs to be free for everyone.

Well Steve Jobs died and if it wasn't proprietary software, they wouldn't have much to sell, now would they? :)

Pretty much :) DaniWeb was created out of my own frustration in, being a forum junkie, and being active in 20+ different niche communities, all with their own subculture and rules, just to accomplish a single project. As an expert, you can help people with their C++ questions. As someone who's trying to be better at UI and frontend stuff, you can ask questions in HTML and JavaScript. And when you're trying to get the website live but the server is acting up, you can ask Apache questions in the Linux forum ... where you can go for gcc help too ;)

Stick around and there's definitely that "family" atmosphere here as well. What's great is that each individual section has its own group of regulars and its own subculture. But then you can expand your horizons and explore new technologies, and all your endorsements and reputation follows you.

Yes, you can check out my profile to see what it looks like once you stick around a bit :)

The ideas is twofold. On one hand, it's nice to collect badges from other community members that show off your skills and experience. But, on the other hand, it's a great way to see AT A GLANCE in someone's member profile just where their skills and interests are.

Members can endorse other members for their skills and expertise. Warrens80 -- for reasons unclear to me but that he can probably explain -- just endorsed you for your expertise in Web Design and in Javascript.

You can see all the endorsements you've collected in your member profile.

And all this time I thought beef was bred, not grown.

Good thing I always substitute the beef for chicken.

I'm a Taco Bell fan, sorry.

You don't have the right tool for the job to type it in, so you need to print it out and fill it in.

Are there any browser plugins or anything like that on the computer you're trying to use? It worked for me with absolutely no problems. I just copied/pasted what you had in the text file.

Actually, question for ya. Does your keyboard not have a Home key?

Worked for me with no issues.

Try this conditional statement...

function isNumberKey(evt) {
     var charCode = (evt.which) ? evt.which : event.keyCode
     if (
         (charCode >= 48 && charCode <= 57) || 
         (charCode == 110 || charCode == 190) || 
         (charCode >= 96 && charCode <= 105) 
        )
     {
       return true;
     }
     else
     {
       alert("Enter Numeric data Only");      
       return false;
     }
}

Also, change the event from onkeypress to onkeyup.

onkeyup="return isNumberKey(event)";

That's by design when the guy's name is just way too long to fit.

What do you mean by "messed up"? Can you upload a screenshot so I can see what you're talking about?

So you need to clear your cookies everytime you want to log out of the site?

Oh, hold on a moment. I just didn't get my email either, and I got another complaint that email isn't coming through. Might be an issue on our end.

I don't know why you're not getting your email. We're definitely sending it to you. You're not on our blacklist and your preferences are set to receive email.

do me a favor. send me a mail from these forum, for test please

Log out of the site and request a password reset.

That's odd. Looks like some type of e-reader stripped away all the CSS.

Do you mean that the CSS file is missing?? Try hitting Ctrl+F5? Can you send a screenshot.

Very much NOT me. I am not an athlete :)

That's by design.

I never heard of it before, but maybe it's a cookie issue? Are there any cookie issues you're experiencing with other sites with it?

I'll add it to the list of things to do. There are some other priorities I want to take care of first.

Yes, cookies are used to log into DaniWeb.

If you're able to type this, then you're already logged in.

Well ask a question and see if you get any responses ;)

He's looking at his watch so he has his wrist up.

I turned off autocomplete in this way ... It's valid HTML5.

I don't know ASP. What does the link look like? It looks like you're creating something that looks like this:

<a href="~/Manager/ProfileView.aspx" id="h1Username" class="h1">

If that's the case, you'll want to change the first line of your CSS to be: a#h1Username:hover or a.h1:hover.

I don't know how you guys all do this!? Is it because you're guys?! I'm really lucky if I get a little elliptical workout in every so often, and I'm content with that!

Sorry, I didn't see this thread until now for some reason. Bug fixed :)

I'll give you my experience as well.

I studied a B.S. in Computer Science with a minor in Business Information Systems at a local University. I started DaniWeb as a sophomore, and it really started to take off. I switched to taking a light courseload (only 2 or 3 courses per semester) which gave me time to devote to DaniWeb.

I graduated from a four-year program after five and a half years with a B.S. degree and an established company. By the time I graduated, DaniWeb was making enough money that I was able to go into it fulltime, and I've never had another job since. My timeline is that I started my degree in September 2000. I started DaniWeb in February 2002. I graduated in December 2005.

What happens if you click in the textbox and press Ctrl+V?

I test in IE 9, IE 10, Chrome and Firefox on Windows 7 and Windows 8, in Chrome and Safari on OS X, and in Safari on an iPad. I used to test in Opera but I had issues with it awhile back and I haven't reinstalled it since reformatting (and would prefer not to). However, our current design was tested in Opera before I reformatted.

As mentioned, I'm open to installing it if I could get someone else to vouch there's an issue going on and this isn't an isolated case due to browser extensions.
