The front page seems to fill with duplicates. I'll paste what I'm seeing but here I am again finding the front page a place that I only check out to see if there's been any change for the better. Today, it's a reminder why I don't go there. Examples: ![image_2022-05-03_095315145.png](https://static.daniweb.com/attachments/1/8d2b74caeafa82ea146688089915f851.png) …

https://www.daniweb.com/articles/latest shows me this a duplicate of my recent post. Ouch. The ability to share images looks broken too!

Just now when I crafted an answer then clicked Post Reply the button dimmed and it's just sitting there. Gave it a few minutes but there it sits. While I've found I can copy out what I wrote, tap F5 then try again it's not something others may bother with. …

Just for all those wondering what's going on, I don't know but I did jump on another PC to check and it was logged in. So I logged out and could not log back in. The first hint there was a problem was when I went to login on my …

My workaday laptop is now an Acer Predator which while being very nice and all started to boot up with Windows Sticky Keys enabled. Now being a long time Windows user I went to the usual control panel, turned it off but it turned back on if the machine was …

It seems everytime I visit the homepage of daniweb.com I get a screen that is modern in design but is missing the mark so much so that others and I are bypassing it and going elsewhere. On top of that it shows duplicates of the same topic (see image) which …

I have it set to Daily Digest yet I get near instant alerts on posts I am watching. Maybe broke, or it's just me.

First how this happened. The Nissan Leaf from about 2011 to mid 2015 on the SV and SL models included Telematics. Telematics in thse models let the owner use a web site or smart phone app to query battery status, start or stop charging and turn on/off the climate control …

Comparing a discussion with the home page. When I see the Home Page, top and center of each card is the member who did something such as Viewed, Gave Reputation, Endorsed and so on. Now you head to a discussion and who wrote this? Example at https://www.daniweb.com/programming/software-development/code/385622/google-map-control-vb-net The author is …

"Sorry, but there is no valid Member with ID 120589" after clicking the first (?) button in the email. Since I can't tell if there is information I shouldn't share publicly I forwarded the email to Dani.

I've noted how the home page seems sparse but why is that lone upvote there at all? It's not that interesting and there's no way to dismiss it or fill the page with what I choose. See attached screen. NOPE. The image upload looks broken. I'll try Imgur and it's …

Example: https://www.daniweb.com/programming/web-development/threads/518292/problem-in-php-showing-undefined-index-and-not-inserted-in-my-datasbase Click on one image and I get two tabs with the same image on both tabs. That's odd.

I looked all over and can't seem to find where to endorse any longer. I see others have on the front page but it's eluding me.

Here's what I see. (image attached, where are inline images?) It seems odd to me to see 3 dated items there. All are same discussion and it's also strange that Dani's endorsement stays no matter what I do. I like you but this is odd to see behavior wise. Maybe …

As title suggest, full screen edit happened in one of my replies. Could not exit with escape. Had to abandon the reply. Trying to replicate now.

I pulled up Opera and it had its VPN enabled. On the sites I clicked on Daniweb but was logged out so no biggy, log in. Then I went to Dazah.com and the matches felt off. Someone was zero miles away so I googled that company and it wasn't in …

When this news came across I only had to think of MSFT's prior acquisitions to think this may not end well. As the song goes " Should I Stay or Should I Go"?

https://www.daniweb.com/articles/latest/2/2 and scroll to the bottom. I see a navigation aid there and it shows a [3] yet it takes me to page 2. Maybe this is by design but it looks a little off. Not a big bug. Just a minor thing.

On a longer discussion the 21st post went to page 2. Yet I could not navigate to the 2nd page or get to the 21st post. Making another post fixed it but still it's something. Not an end of the world type bug. Hope you can replicate it. First encountered …

For reference see image at http://i.imgur.com/NUUcLel.png While it clears up on a page reload, it's humorous to see over 2 million downvotes. Just reporting, not asking for a fix.

One of the best tips I learned long ago was to turn on all warnings and error messages from the compiler or development system. Yet last week, once again a big system was being worked on and the bug was tracked down to *uninitialized variable*. Now this isn't specific to …

I didn't see anyone bring up how VW and other companies have lost their integrity. We know those that code "bad things" may lack a moral compass but when I've worked in large groups or companies not once was there any question about doing the job in a dishonest way. …
