Thanks :) Guess I can mark this thread solved now, eh?

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I have configured the server to redirect all https:// requests to their http:// counterpart.

You're missing it? This is because you're using Threaded mode. Try switching back to Linear mode and it should reappear.

I don't know. How many software engineers does it take to change a lightbulb?

I'm really confused what you're asking. See attachment.

Should be fixed :)

I hate to say it, but it was designed this way on purpose. Here's the thing ...

When people use [code] tags, in order to get the scrollbar to work properly and to account for people with really long lines of code to not form unclean line breaks or worse, it is necessary to specify the absolute width of the <div> tag which encompasses code. (This is a given.)

The width specified looks fine within the forums, but when used in the Control Panel, the left CP navigation menu occupies space, making the width of the code area too big for the space allotted. Therefore, when viewing a PM in the control panel that contains [code] tags, the code box takes up too much room and pushes everything out.

I therefore opted for the lesser of two evils. I would rather things look a little funky when viewing PMs with [code] (I mean, how often does that really happen?) as opposed to sitewide shrinking the width of the [code] box and making it more inconvenient for every forum thread that has code in it.

Just as I wrote that ... I thought about seeing if it's possible to set two different widths for [code] ... one within PMs and one within forums. Let me go take a looksie ...

In IE, Go to the View menu and then Font Size, and keep it on the Medium setting. You can change font sizes in Firefox, as well, but it works a bit differently. Firefox font size control is also more powerful, in that it also affects fixed set fonts, such as those on DaniWeb. :)

It's the same CSS property that allows code to scroll in all of the posts contained within this thread.

Did that work?

In the past we had a problem where visiting the Viruses and Spyware forum would throw back a whole bunch of browser errors because apparently there was something going around and when people posted infected HijackThis logs, Internet Explorer would pick up the malicious code from within the log and execute it.

He went on a trolling spree last night and many of his posts have since been deleted.

Testing testing 123 ... Works for me :) Thanks Tom!

Unfortunately, this is just a new "feature" of the latest version of vBulletin, the forum system DaniWeb is based off of. After having problem after problem with the wysiwyg editor, I have to admit I won't go near hacking it with a ten foot pole. I will see if anyone in the vB community has any suggestions. Personally, though, I sorta like it better this way because I thought the two forms was a little cumbersome. :) Will look into this but no promises.

Huh??

Isn't this a paid program? Downloading it for free is illegal.

(This is just my opinion, but I doubt it would be useful to display both the user's local timestamp and the forum's default timestamp.)

Yes, that's rather silly.

Reporting posts as solved is not a new feature. Moderators mark threads as solved when they come across them as such, and the thread starter also has the ability to mark his or her own thread as solved.

People say thanks for lots of reasons. I just said it in this post :) Saying thanks doesn't necessarily mean that the thread started as a question and has now been answered.

But not every single thread is a question with a specific answer that can be solved. Many of them are open-ended discussions.

Only the thread starter or moderator can mark a thread as solved. This is the only way to essentially keep it fully functional. Otherwise, anyone who thinks their post was helpful could mark someone else's question as solved, even if their solution didn't work.

Thank you so much for your feedback! It's appreciated and I'm glad you're enjoying our community.

I'm confused with what you mean by point #1. Let the subforums be there? Where do you mean, exactly?

I think I got down to the bottom of the problem ... or at least, A problem. :) I was accidentally using the relative URL "profile.php" instead of the absolute URL "/techtalkforums/profile.php" when calling the script to adjust daylight savings time. I never caught this typo because it's not everyday that the forum system automatically calls the DST script :) Does it work now or is there another problem lurking around?

This is so strange. There is no mention of profile.php anywhere in the homepage php code. One problem at a time, Marty :) This only happens when trying to access the homepage, right?

This actually happened to me yesterday out of nowhere. I didn't change anything and I haven't experienced the problem at all today. I can't figure out what caused it and it's nearly impossible for me to duplicate to ask my webhost. To be honest, until you posted this, I thought it was just me.

I'm really confused what you're asking. Can you explain further please?

What friends list? What is xfire? And what does this have to do with Python programming? Am I missing something?

I have no clue what you're asking?

A "collection" of data of the same type. In layman's terms, instead of having ten separate integer variables, I can have a single integer array of size ten. I'm going to take layman's terms to the tenth level and say that a class is a "package" of various types of data and functions to access / manipulate this data.

Hi Juan! Welcome to DaniWeb :) Good luck completing your certifications. Be sure to check out our Networking forum! :)

Sometimes this happens when you download a toolbar (such as the Google toolbar) and it spreads itself out shrinking the Address bar until it becomes nearly invisible. If JemB's method didn't work, click the View menu and then Toolbars and make sure that Lock the Toolbar is UNTICKED. There should be a little vertical dotted line to the left of the Google toolbar. Try dragging it to make it smaller. You should be able to find the address bar somehow and drag it to make it larger or reposition it. I can't really explain what I'm trying to say. Maybe someone else can clarify.

You can do a reinstall on your Office XP installation (via your Office XP disk), just reinstalling the Outlook part.

Tools menu ... click Internet Options ... on the General tab ... click the button for Clear History.

I think that should do it. Otherwise, the Content tab ... then the AutoComplete button ... something there perhaps?

You think that members should have a right to delete the posts of other members??

Do you mean that you fill out the login form and hit submit and it brings you back to the page where you still aren't logged in? If so, I believe your cookie is broken. Clear your daniweb.com cookie and you should now be able to login once and only once with no problem.

Word wrap would defeat the purpose of code tags.

That's alright. I'll try to explain it in a different way. Picture this:

Now, assume that is a snippet of code in some language such as C++ or PHP. Since code tags preserve line length, it requires horizontal scrolling so that it doesn't stretch the layout of the page.

Notice that there are long lines throughout the snippet, including the first couple of lines. No matter where in the snippet you are reading, you can use the horizontal scroll bar to scroll right.

But suppose there WAS no vertical scroll bar, and the snippet was really long. If you wanted to read the first line, you would have to scroll your web browser all the way down to the bottom of the code area to find the horizontal scrollbar, scroll horizontally, and then scroll all the way back up to finish reading the first line.

By making …

There is a reason to the madness. The code tags preserve line formatting, so text doesn't wrap around the next line unless there is a hard line break. That means that sometimes a horizonal scroll is automatically added so as to not break the layout of the page. However, the horizontal scroll is added, per the nature of web browsers, to the bottom of the text area. That means that it needs to be viewable at all times, so that one can horizontally scroll as needed.

Well, you won't learn about marine biology in a CS course, if that's what you mean. ;)

Not necessarily ;) I did some of that in a Bioinformatics course cotaught between a Comp Sci professor and Bio professor. The course was cross-listed under both departments. :)

Sorry, but I just had to interject :)

If you bought this machine off of someone else, I would recommend reformatting and starting completely fresh and clean.

Hello, DaniWeb IT Community team

Thank your very much for your replying about my problem. It works.

Marking thread as solved.

I think you're a little overanxious, butterflyTee. There is no need to keep bumping your thread with multiple posts. Additionally, I had to delete one of your threads because you posted in duplicate.

We won't do your homework for you. We have our own work and schoolwork to do. What we WILL do is help you along. Let's break down this program and define an algorithm:

step 1 - prompt user for name
step 2 - save name into a string variable
step 3 - separate string into characters
step 4 - traverse the string and look at each character individually
step 5 - convert each character to its numerical "equivalent"
step 6 - use an accumulator variable and increment it each time we evaluate a character
step 7 - output the accumulator variable as the final sum

Does that make sense to you? See if you can come up with some code converting that algorithm into python. We'll then be more than happy to help you further, but you have to show us effort on your part.

No problem. Just to double check, I resolved the IP and, indeed, it goes to a googlebot crawler. This is a good thing. It means your pages will be well-indexed in the Google search engine.

That seems perfectly fine to me. Googlebot (google.com's crawler) is well known for visiting many pages at once in bursts that can last up to a couple of hours to a day. They're known as "deep crawls".

echo "<span style=\"color:white\"><strong>Total Items:</strong> " . $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['items'] . "</span>";

This is sorta spammy.

No problem, good luck.

At a console, type "man ssh" for the SSH manual.

Linux comes with telnet/ssh built in. Simply use the ssh command from a terminal window / console. :)
