Yes, with CSS absolute positioning or layers.

Cool. I saw this thread before, but I didn't know what you meant. A HijackThis log?

You could ask in THIS forum, ya know? :)

Oh, nevermind, my mistake. It *is* your profile that you uploaded, not your avatar! Here is where you want to be:

http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/profile.php?do=editavatar

I don't know how on earth you managed it, but it looks as if you got your avatar to be entered into the database while all other avatars are regular files. Let me try to figure this one out.

The ten post minimum doesn't exist anymore. Do you mean your avatar? Your profile picture only appears in your profile.

I'm wondering if the uninstaller isn't complete and it's still leaving things in the registry. Go to regedit and do a search for the name of the folder that keeps reappearing or the printer model or something like that.

If you are using a server-side language, such as PHP, you can use image magik (or equivalent) to dynamically scale down the images. This is most likely more trouble than it's worth, unless your entire site is dynamic already.

Please post your question in the appropriate forum, which I believe would be the Computer Science forum ... http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/forum14.html

Okay okay. This thread moved. Hopefully Comp Sci is the right forum?

Please post your question in the appropriate forum, which I believe would be the Computer Science forum ... http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/forum14.html

Your problem *I THINK* appears to be with the wrap="physical" part of your HTML code. Have you tried ditching it and seeing what happens? Also, your textarea doesn't need a value="" attribute since the value is placed between the <textarea> </textarea> tags.

Also, I'm not sure if this was a mistake copying the code or if it's an actual bug, but you have $body=$_POST['body;]; where you have 'body; instead of 'body'

A textarea should be multiline by default. Can you copy / paste the php code where you throw what's in the textarea into the database?

I'm using Internet Explorer and it worked for me!

vBulletin isn't free and Invision isn't either, as of a couple of months ago :( phpBB is your best free option.

Thanks for the lesson, vegaseat!

No, it looks like the language really exists (see link posted).

I thought this was a joke until I stumbled upon http://boo.codehaus.org/

I can't connect either. I'm looking into this.

If a thread is interesting, send it to a friend ... click the link that says Email To Friend. When they land at the page, if they register, you count as their referrer.

Currently we don't have any prizes set up for big referrers. Maybe in the future.

Yes, I use that latter version as well.

Unfortunately, for privacy protection reasons, I just don't feel comfortable giving you a list of what could be 150+ registered members. Do you perhaps have an email address that you could have used?

Oh goodness, you've been here quite awhile, now haven't you? techtalkForums and DaniWeb are the same site ... we just changed our name when we expanded to be more than just technical support :) Any old posts you made should still exist.

Unfortunately, with 50,000 members, the number of members with a March 10th birthday is going to be a pretty common occurrence. In fact, it's my mom's birthday as well! In addition, since it's not a requirement to enter your birthday, who even remembers if you entered it back then ;)

It would actually be really great if just for a little while you put "formerly c++" or something like that in your signature. This way all of those who got to know and love you, since you have 200+ posts under your belt here, will learn that you're the same person and get to know you by your new username.

The reason that we generally disallow name changes is because this site is a community. And just like in any community, we get to know each other, etc. However, we know each other by our usernames ... and should we be changing them, it would be a huge problem to the growth of the community - no one would know who anyone was anymore. However, I do allow specific requests for name changes. Request honored :)

After a post has been made, the poster has 15 minutes to edit / correct their post to fix typos, errors, etc.

Basically, we do not allow members to delete their own posts.

I've changed your username. Please be sure to use your new username next time you want to log into the site. The reason why we don't allow username changes generally is because the entire community is based on the fact that we know each other based on our usernames - if everyone changed their usernames willy nilly the foundation of the community, itself, would never succeed.

I just went over all the forums, spent a couple of minutes thinking it over, and made some adjustments. The following syntax now holds true:

Sometimes, distinct topics are grouped together into one forum for site navigation and intuitiveness reasons. For example, many people who have an interest in one topic almost always have an interest in the other, as well. For that reason, it doesn't always make sense to split every topic into its own forum, because virtually every topic in the world can be broken down into subtopics. There has to be a place to draw the line.

In addition, it sometimes benefits the community to group multiple topics together, so long as they share a common audience. If everything were broken down into individual topics each catering to only one small particular thing, a single forum would be pretty boring because you'd just see the same questions asked over and over again with no variety.

Some IT communities group all of "Software Development" together into one forum. Other IT communities may separate out C++ for windows from C++ for *nix. It all comes down to how niche the site is and where subdividing starts to go too far.

In any case, I've made the following adjustments:

The word "and" is use as a concatenator among multiple topics contained within a single forum. For example:

C and C++
Computer Science and Engineering
XML and SOAP
JavaScript and DHTML

…

>What you're effectively doing when you say "C/C++" is promulgating a misnomer.
My recommendation to change the name to "C and C++" wasn't accepted, so blame Dani for that one. ;)

Huh? What? I don't remember that request!

I'll make you a deal. If you can figure out a way to dispose of one of the main categories in the Software Development list without causing any obvious problems, I'll be willing to try out a separate C forum on a temporary basis. Making the forum list too long is a serious issue, especially since Software Development is at the top, and the majority of Daniweb's members visit the forums down lower more often.

Definitely agree.:mrgreen: However, I'm not keen on the idea of a "temporary basis" because it's a big headache to go through all the threads sorting them between C and C++ in preparation of the grand opening of the new forum. If I'm going to take the time to do that, I want to be sure it's worth the effort ;)

If you guys who frequent the forum think that there are enough C questions posted to warrant their own forum, I have no problems with it. But please ensure that this would be a smart move - I agree with Julienne about the cross-posting and the people who aren't going to know the difference.

If we indeed do go through with this, gee whiz you're going to want to make the forum index even longer, aren't you? Please don't yell at me and then ban me from the site forever for suggesting that perhaps the new C forum could fall under our Legacy and Less Common Languages area?

What's most important to me is that only the ad is chopped off and no part of the site's actual content - either above or below the navigation - is cut off anywhere.

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?

It's now supposed to chop off part of the ad instead of chopping off part of the navigation ... right? :)

I did some work on the header this morning. The problem should be fixed, I think. I can't tell on my end. Can someone confirm this please?

Christian, too, has been constantly yelling at me for the ad overlapping the links at anything smaller than 1024x768 with certain combinations of operating systems and browsers. (with others, when you shrink down to 800x600, the links wrap down to the next line so nothing is overlapped).

Regardless, I am currently working with a designer to fix this matter.

Originally, the JavaScript code to lode the ad was contained within an IFRAME. Right now, I have the ad being loaded from another size-limited IFRAME contained within the first size-limited IFRAME.

I think think think I fixed this problem. Please let me know :)

Oh wow. I never saw that happen before! Those double images are supposed to be confined to an IFRAME. I don't understand why they'd escape it. I'll look into it for you. Hmm ...

I know that somewhere in the registry it has the Windows wallpaper. I am originally suspecting that a small program which loads at startup could change this value. However, it wouldn't take effect until the next time you restarted the machine (right?) So maybe each time Windows loads, your program will set the next boot-up's image? So the current wallpaper that you'll see would always be predetermined during the last Windows boot.

%24 is the representation for $ when the $ character isn't accessible (I believe that's how it works). Regardless, the $forumid variable wasn't being populated where you wanted it to be.

The change was made in response to this threead: [thread]18901[/thread]

You have source=%24forumid

That's how phpAdsNew displays the code. Change that to source=$forumid as soon as you paste it where you want it.

Nono. Source can be anything. It's simply a parameter that phpAdsNew allows you to pass in. In this case, you'll want to make it your forumid. So in the ad tag for phpAdsNew, where it says source= make sure it says source=$forumid

Then, let's say a particular campaign just wants to run in forumid 4. When setting up the campaign, go to Limitations and set a limit to only display the ad when source == 4.

BigBlueBall, are you using vBulletin? If so, it doesn't matter. The thread templates still have access to the $forumid variables. Not sure how it works in other forum systems, but either way, I would assume that all threads have access to the forum ID they are part of.

Check out www.resource-zone.com if you are having problems with Dmoz. Editors are moderators there :) In fact, here is a thread I posted there seeking help ...

Eek - I really thought it was fixed as of last night :( I changed something else just now. I'm going to go head off to work and sometime during work today, I will keep up with this thread and hopefully it will be fixed.

We moved to a new ad server tonight - and I accidently had the box ads showing up where only the leaderboard banners were supposed to be.

Can you please attach a screenshot? Netscape is one of our advertisers but I'm not sure what you mean by overlapping. I'm aware that on lower resolutions, the leaderboard sometimes overlaps the links to the left a tiny bit.
