 | If people use the tag system properly then posts will be tagged appropriately. As there is no geeks' lounge forum any longer, I don't expect to see too many posts being tagged in that manner. However, I would expect to see stuff tagged with things like 'jokes' 'chatter' or 'food' …  |
 | The stickies/pinned posts problem will be resolved over time as we work through the forums and remove those that are no longer required for whatever reason (many are outdated, others are news/editorial that doesn't need to be stuck etc)  |
| | Good luck, but speaking from my own experience of way too many allnighters I'd say rest is ultimately more beneficial than enthusiasm in the long term. Don't knock yourself out Dani! :) |
| | Re: Hey Everyone Welcome, but take a minute and read [the rules](https://www.daniweb.com/community/rules) before posting as it will help prevent you from posting any more thinly disguised spam. In particular take note of "ensure that all posts contain relevant content and substance and are not simply vehicles for external links" - hint: someone with …  |
| | How about devil horns above the avatar for a mod, and angel wings for admins of course? ;-)  |
| | The UK's National Crime Agency (NCA) has said that it has dealt a "major blow to dark web markets." In a [statement](http://www.nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/news/news-listings/483-international-law-enforcement-deals-major-blow-to-dark-web-markets) issued on the 7th November the NCA says that a coordinated operation between law enforcement agencies in Europe and the US has "targeted market places for illegal commodities … |
| | Richard, an obvious question but someone has to ask it: have you contacted Microsoft support about this? I would imagine they are likely to be the most able (possibly the only ones able) to fix this for you. |
| | Re: programming ...and the same reply applies: > What have you got so far? Please post the code you already have, even if it doesn't work.  |
| | You will have to do a lot better than that. Can you please explain exactly what the problem is, including platform etc, then someone may be able to help. |
| | Just noticed that the blue burger menu is showing 'Web Applications' as a forum, but when you get there it is called 'Cloud-based Applications' instead. |

| | Please read the thread before posting. > the code is up there (points up). If you can't write it yourself, copy paste it. >There is no reason to re-open a dead thread.  |
| | The unread PM counter in the main toolbar (between the finder and chat icons) is stuck on 0 and doesn't change to show new/unread PMs. Not exactly the most serious of problems, but something to flag for later when you get a chance to check it out Dani. |
| | Although it took eBay itself an absolute age to disclose that a serious breach had taken place, and then [completely screwed up the process of ensuring users change their passwords](http://www.daniweb.com/hardware-and-software/microsoft-windows/viruses-spyware-and-other-nasties/news/479152/more-ebay-security-stupidity-exposed), this should come as no real surprise. Happygeeks' Law states: the larger the corporate, the longer it takes to admit … |
| | The news that JPMorgan Chase & Co, which is the largest of the US banks with a reach that extends to half of all American households, has been breached will surprise nobody. At least not in the sense that this is old news, with a disclosure of the event happening … |
| | My van was built 15 years ago by Mazda in Japan as a multi-purpose 'people carrier' vehicle with the unlikely name of a Bongo. It has survived the years well, and I have now converted it into a camper van. Another 15 year old that travelled across the globe has … |
| | On the plus side, there certainly seems to have been a drop in spam activity since the new UI went live. I suspect the spamming hoardes don't like it very much :) |
 | Hello. I would suggest you post your questions in the following forums/categories: 1. https://www.daniweb.com/web-development/31 2. https://www.daniweb.com/software-development/2 |
| | If you don't know who [Alan Turing](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing) was, then shame on you. The British code breaker, mathematics genius and father of both computer science and artificial intelligence is rightly credited with helping to bring the second world war to an end. Turing was also gay, and that's where the shame … |
| | Can't say it makes much difference to readability to be honest. I like the new poster/signature positioning, and I really like the use of whitespace throughout. I could lose the sidebar, but hey... :) |
 | Let's put it this way: Dani has **never** made changes to DaniWeb just for the heck of it, ever in all the years I have known her. She only ever does so if she thinks it will be for the long term benefit of the community. If drastic changes are …  |
 | Spot on from Deceptikon, in my never humble opinion. |
 | |
| | And? Nobody is doing your homework for you here. Post some code, show us what you've done, tell us where you are stuck and then, only then, will we try and help you... |

| | Trying to change my signature, but the edit toolbar doesn't work - clicking on bold or trying to add a link does nothing. |
| | |
| | I see that the newsletter archive has vanished in the new UI, but so has the newsletter editing link for producing the new ones. I'm guessing this is on the list for implementation in the coming days, Dani? |
 | Anything that helps get the encryption message across is 'a.good.thing' and anything that helps reduce costs to encourage adoption/implementation ditto. I've been a fan of the Let's Encrypt project since the get go. I rather like the short-term option (validity of just a month) which can limit threat surface exposure … |
| | I doubt it, that request was SEVEN YEARS AGO. |
 | |
 | > a bung of morons Is that the official collective noun? :) |
| | Re: Bad Grammar If the root of pang is ang, then that would also explain the derivation of angst. You learn something new everyday. Actually, I learn lots of new things everyday and it's what makes me get out of bed in the morning. |
 | You would think that someone from a digital marketing agency with clients such as Ford might know this stuff already, wouldn't you? Unless Dianne is just advertising that agency by way of her signature link, in which case the poor association still stands. |
 | With my practical head firmly screwed on: Given the value of your time and the amount of it already expended, and given the fact that 2Gb thumb drives are so cheap that they are almost in christmas cracker gift territory these days, wouldn't the sensible thing be to just buy … |
| | [ATTACH=RIGHT]22199[/ATTACH]Ever wondered just how many domain names there are on the Internet? DaniWeb has, and can reveal the answer as being an almost astonishing 215 million worldwide. According to global Internet infrastructure provider and domain registrar Verisign, more than five million domain names were added to the total during the …  |
| | Sometimes you have to take the initiative and help create a market. Although I agree that most consumers are not in dire need of this amount of storage, plenty soon will be as the 'PC as media centre' concept continues to get a grip. Streaming video, digital photography, MP3 jukeboxes …  |
 | For me, has to be CoD:AW on Xbox Live. I play Kill Confirmed mainly, and am currently ranked 1250 out of 1.9 million players which isn't bad for an old grandad :) |
| | What is your old username? In what way is the 'forgot password thing' not working? Error messages etc would be helpful. |
| | Or try reading [this](https://www.petri.com/windows-10-privacy-concerns-are-overblown-but-perception-matters) from Paul Thurrot for a balanced look at the Windows 10 privacy argument... |

| | I need someone to wash my van. Using Turtle Wax will be deeply appreciated. Same reasoning, can't be bothered to do it myself... |
| | Could the mobile thing be chicken and egg with DaniWeb? Make it a better mobile experience and more people will access it that way? Certainly Google seems to take the mobile friendly aspect very seriously these days from what I understand... |
| | Adobe Flash users have been under attack from cybercriminals again, this time courtesy of [a zero day exploit kit by the name of Angler](http://malware.dontneedcoffee.com/2015/01/unpatched-vulnerability-0day-in-flash.html). The exploit kit has been readily available on the dark market, and hits vulnerabilities to be found in Flash Players up to 15.0.0.223, as well as …  |
| | I am an old admin, and I wanted to say that one more spam/advert from you and your account will be banned. Oh, and hello... |

| | Re: Getting Traffic Perhaps the signature advertising a digital marketing and branding agency puts people off responding to very basic questions that you would think someone associated with an online marketing outfit whose clients include Ford and Phillips may be well aware of has something to do with it? |
| | |
| | A quick search would have revealed that this was a change to the search engine architecture which happened in 2009/2010. |

The End.
