You get to hang around online for longer.

The truth is that many people think that they can write a tutorial, many people think that they can simply steal a tutorial from somewhere else and change a few words, many people decide to 'have a go' without giving it any real thought beforehand.

Every one of these submissions had to be checked, consuming a lot of time, under the old system. Anyone could post a tutorial, and the numbers stacked up quite quickly in the moderation queue.

By making it harder to submit a tutorial, the hope is that by some strange twist of irony we will get fewer but much higher quality submissions. Not least because by the time the member gets to the 'writing it' stage, we will have agreed on the content and the style and know in advance that they are up to the challenge.

Wacky world indeed, welcome to DaniWeb Stacey.

What do you think? Is the quality of code snippets up to scratch or do you think they need some pruning?

It all seems to be back to normal here. Have been replying to threads, doing the daily admin 'delete spam and infract bozos' chores, and not nitced any slowing down at all.

I think it is important to understand that not everyone can be a great blogger, not everyone can write great tutorials, not everyone is a great poster of forum messages.

What we strive for at DaniWeb is to discover people who do have those talents and attempt to turn that into high quality content in the relevant site sections.

Hopefully it is something that we are starting to get to grips with, certainly feels that way from here.

And your contributions to the forum are most appreciated!

Welcome to DaniWeb my Vista discussing friend.

You get a shoal of cod singing Happy Birthday.

I put in the offside front wheel of a Rover 75 with a flat tyre.

Hello, and welcome to DaniWeb.

I guess my feeling on that is the author is identified by the blog, which is shown. Click on that link and you get access to all that you mention.

By bylining the blog it draws attention to that rather than the individual, and we want people to visit and read the blogs primarily. Once there, they can then go do all the author related stuff, no?

As for the slowdown, Dani and Blud have been informed and are breaking into their semi-vacation thing to look at the issue. Trouble is it seems to be one of those impacting upon some people some of the time things, so hard to track down :-(

Hi Sophie, welcome to DaniWeb from another Englander :)

I believe - Robson and Jerome

I'm not convinced that there is a need, although would be happy to hear your argument in favour of a byline :)

Until that reply, of course, which took about 30 seconds to get through...

Not experiencing anything similar here - but have drawn it to the attention of Dani who will investigate ASAP.

The featured blog entries show the name of the blog to which they have been posted, rather than an author byline as such.

You get featured in a homes and interiors magazine.

I put in the patience of a saint.

Hey Wolfy, you are back! Good to see you, and yes using that advanced reply button soon becomes second nature to be honest.

Thanks for the kind words. The tutorial section has recently been overhauled, and we are now working to increase the volume of tutorials posted but on an invitation only basis so as to ensure the highest quality is maintained.

Hi Joyce, welcome to DaniWeb.

You get fined.
