There is no reason to have numbers next the threads that are based off what members think about individual posts in the thread, and are not based on what they think about the thread itself.

I don't get it, it's hardly changed. There's two small buttons and a number by each post, what's with all this overreacting? :icon_wink:

If the bold numbers next to the threads were gone I would be satisfied.

I just don't understand the point of it. People like AD complained because they couldn't leave neg rep without destroying someone's rep. So, instead of just having an option for no rep change when leaving a comment, an anonymous voting system was put in place, that doesn't allow for comments :-/

Secondly the numbers next to a thread are based off of the posts' votes, so if one post gets a bad vote, the whole thread gets a negative number next to it. It doesn't make sense.

BTW, another person against it :)

Yes, a good number of members were looking for an easy way to vote a post up or down without it affecting the user's reputation. I took that idea and combined it with a Digg-esque feel.

So was there more than one thread on it besides the one AD started? On that thread I counted about 6 people who liked it.

Yes, its a helpful feature for people like AD who want to comment on a posts worthiness without instantly sending a member into the red in terms of rep points.

What stops them from making a "comment on a posts worthiness" in the thread itself?

Its virtually identical to the (previous) system of rating threads by a star system.

No it isn't. It's integrated into the rep system, and it takes up twice as much screen space.

Sorry to be a dark cloud in all this but...

The new voting thing is terrible. As others have said it adds so much clutter to the design, its more information than anyone needs to know, its confusing for people who aren't regulars.

Why did you implement it in the first place? Was traffic lagging? Did members express interest in the idea?

It needs to go.

Also, I too noticed everyone has a gray block for rep now.

Are you aware the little rep counters are actually little buttons to easily up-vote or down-vote a post without affecting someone's reputation points?

Actually I was :) I tested it out earlier.

My Favorite Forums ??? Yes I like that too. Also like the new rep counters.

My favorite forums has been there for awhile now.

I think the rep counters need to be reduced in size, or redesigned, they don't fit well with the rest of the page.

I really like having the list of bases @ top of the page!!

I can easily jump to another base w/o hassle!!

Anyone else find this usefull??

What are you talking about?

Crikey, I have been away longer than I thought then; to have missed that!

From what I remember he didn't make any announcement, he just changed his signature and never came back.

When did JWenting leave? I have been away for a while, I must have missed that. :-/

According to his profile his last day of activity was September 19th, 2008.

You'll be back! :)

That's what I expected of jwenting when he left. So far nothing.

Hehe .. well .. there's one more person, who scored 70 .. jasimp :)

Yeah and I didn't even count the time I spend gaming online when I took the test :)

While this thread is on the topic of reputation:

I like that posts that receive lots of positive (and perhaps negative although I haven't come across that) have more than one green dot next to the give rep link. Example below.

The caps are unnecessary, don't use them.

Secondly, there is nothing wrong with the code, it works perfectly, what you have is a logic error. The problem is in your line

System.out.println(a);

You need to either override Area's toString() method, which it inherits from Object, or you need to right your own print method for Area.

After your write your new method for Area your pintln statement should look like this

System.out.println(a.printMethod());

You need to add ItemListener to your combo-box. The sun tutorial is brilliant, look here :

I hope that helps!

EDIT: lol James Cherrill, you just beat me to it! Same tutorial as well, great minds...

Your link doesn't work, you have an extra http://

Here is a working version of your link :)

Thank you for using code tags but next time can you try to post just the relevant portion of the code? If we need more we will ask for it.

Google is running on overload and only picks up important stuff?

Then why would it pick up any of his posts? ;)

Just kidding serkan.

What kind of instrument do u play?

Instruments of torture.

If you change the default number of posts per thread in your control panel you can view it as one page. This can be a temp fix for you while Dani is sick.

What do you mean by that? Is it some kind of joke I didn't get?

That is the example for his problem.

why1991, the output you are seeing is the default toString() method of class Array being called. When using System.out.println() if you put an object in the parameter it will do whatever that object's toString() method tells it to. Unfortunately for you, that has nothing to do with the data in the array.

What you need to do is what quuba said, write your own method for printing out the data in the array's. There are a couple ways to do this. One way would be to loop through each array, and print out what is at that location. Here is the sun web-page on Array's, you should find it useful.

The class that contians 'public static void main' must have static declared for all methods contained.

That is not true.

Static is used so that a class can call methods on itself without having to create a specific object of that class. Static methods in a class can be called without having to instantiate an object of that type. If you changed your computeNetPay() method to static then you could call it in the main() method. However the OO way is to use the main method to create an instance of that class, in the form of an object, and then use it's constructor to call methods (which is what freelancelote and quuba said). An example using your code would be.

public class Pay{

     private double hoursWorked = 40;
     private double rateofPayPerHour = 10;
     private double withholdingRate = .15;
     private double grossPay;
     private double netPay;

     //added static modifier
     public static void main(String[] args){
              //this instantiates an object of the type Pay, which calls its constructor
              new Pay();
      }
      //Pay's constructor, a special type of method that creates object
      public Pay(){
                //now this is where you can run your method
               computeNetPay(hoursWorked, rateofPayPerHour, withholdingRate);
      }
      public void computeNetPay(double hoursWorked, double rateofPayPerHour, double withholdingRate){
              double withHolding;
              grossPay = hoursWorked * rateofPayPerHour;
              withHolding = grossPay * withholdingRate;
              netPay = grossPay - withHolding;
              System.out.print(netPay);
     }

}

Considering following advice, but it would require getting off the net, so I guess it can wait :D

Pfft, your score isn't even that high ;)

well im a begginer.. the most complicated program ive made is something that converts hexa to octa and all.. i really need help,,!

I understand you need help, but if you're such a beginner you don't even know where to start, then the program is too complicated for you make. Start coming up with some designs for the program, write some pseudocode. If you can't get that far you can't write the program.

So far as I'm concerned this is not possible. SIS files are for Symbian devices written in shrewd C++ of Symbian, where JAR is way to distribute Java Microedition files for any Java enabled devices.

Which he would have realized if he goggled it, which is what my link was for.

Implemented. :)

Alright, what do I need to do to see it then. All I see is a distorted version of the #

Seriously, no one has gotten above a 70 yet? :S

Here you go.

could somebody help me creating a program through which i can control utorrent via bluetooth.. as in startin pausing or updating trackers and stuff.. could u please create 1 and explain me? plz

No. Put some effort into the project yourself. We can help you with your program if you get stuck. You will never learn if people do the work for you.

oh and before i look too dumb haha i had included the 5 dollar charge in the base costs -_-

Don't worry about looking dumb when learning a language. Worry about getting the basics, because they're essential down the road.

You are experiencing occasional or frequent problems because of the Internet. You should consider their full impact on your life.

Happens on my end too.

This one works pretty fast, even for large numbers. Like it says, aproxomite end number, and that is because it will generally go one fibonacci number above what you specify.

this will only work in the year of 2007 and you will have to very slightly modify it for the new year.

All this snippet does is asks you for some information and then uses it and some math to guess your age. Pretty simple but I have to start somewhere.

I tried in both IE7 and FF 3.5 Beta 4. Yeah I can get to the window, it just won't upload.

When I click upload the upload manager just becomes a blank white screen.

Argyou? Really?

It's a direct quote from Wizard and Glass, I merely copied it. Argue was purposefully spelled 'argyou' in Wizard and Glass.

you know everthing about this website, dont you :)

I wonder why ;)

If we create computers and robots with AI, will they eventually evolve to take us (the creators) over?

Obviously, there is a three part documentary on the subject, the first being called The Matrix, you'll find all the information you need ;)

Methinks this is could be a "clever" marketing scam by TooStep.

Read a thread before posting to it. Your question has already been answered

What makes you certain that we haven't?

Wow I leave for a week and Ezzaral becomes a mod (congratulations by the way), the layout has been messed with, GrimJack changes his avatar (I thought that thing would be there forever) and... that's all the major changes I can think of right now. Good luck Ezzaral with your new duties. I think you'll do fantastic job.

To be on topic:
Ummm....GrimJack is right ;)

Is this really the right forum for this question? Just Google Objective C tutorials and see if they follow the same path Java tutorials take. This is the Java forum, help with Java, not Objective C.

Absolutely beautiful. I loved the old blind guy from New Orleans.

Try this

Lol you cant watch it in the UK but i got the best error message ever

"Please dont send any redcoats in retaliation"

That's hilarious! :D

In addition to what James has said; if you want to be able handle more than one client you will need to create a thread for each client that connects.

I'm confused what you mean by array keys. You also say you want to print specific elements in an ArrayList, then change and say Array. In any case, with the code you have provided, just change i++ to i+=2 That will print out every 2nd element.
