Hi Ma Yin Minn Pa Pa, welcome to DaniWeb. Networking and xylophone, now there are two words not normally uttered in the same breath :D

Hi Macmeister, welcome to DaniWeb. Now, I wonder what computing platform you use (hehe)

Hi fellow gizmo freak, I can't help myself when it comes to spending all my hard earned on gadgets and the like either.

Welcome to DaniWeb.

Hi 'S', welcome to the DaniWeb community. If it's help and advice you want, you've come to the right place!

Hello, and welcome to DaniWeb. You will find a friendly and experienced bunch of webmasters (and mistresses for that matter) here, most of whom will be only too happy to share advice and tips for success with you.

Hi dmw, welcome to DaniWeb. You know I think you've got exactly the right attitude to ensure that you will fit in just dandy here...

Doh! My bad.

I totally forgot about that...

Hi FES, and welcome to DaniWeb.

This forum is only for posting an introduction about yourself, see the forum rules and not asking questions.

I suggest you try asking in the Windows 9x/Me forum where you will get the help you need.

Dani, bless her, has pulled an allnighter (literally) and has implemented tagging for DaniWeb blogs.

Can I ask anyone here who blogs, when they have time, to go and edit their postings to add tags please. It doesn't take long, and is very straightforward in typical Dani style.

You'll notice that a tag cloud section has been added to the blog home page, and over time this will reveal the most popular tags with DaniWeb blog readers.

Also, when you are reading a blog posting you can now click on any of the tags shown to display a list of all other postings (not just from the same blogger) with the same tag.

Nice one Dani. Now get some sleep! :D

Hi Gurpreet, welcome to DaniWeb. What kind of software are you involved with?

I think I preferred the kind of plink-plonk-fizz stuff of old school games from 20 years back to be honest.

Hi Kumaran, it's now 10.30am here and I am struggling to understand why I 've only been at work for an hour this morning (did someone shout lazy devil?)

Welcome to DaniWeb, here's hoping you find the help you are looking for.

Hi Robbo, welcome to the DaniWeb community.

Hi Mike, truly poptastic to hear from you and now here's a record for Aunt Ethel who's 60 years young today...

DJ Davey
DaniWeb FM

:D

More menu oddities, this time in Firefox:

The Mod or Admin menu, whichever happens to be last on the right at the time, disappears under the search panel as well.

I want to know how many posts are required to become a Queen of Daniweb? :eek:

ISTR that the most anyone managed to drink before falling over was 4 or 5 of the things, so perhaps it should come with some kind of health warning.

Hi David, welcome to DaniWeb, refugee or not I'm sure you will find us a friendly and helpful bunch. Here's looking forward to reading your 5000th posting on DaniWeb...

And hello Jennifer, welcome to DaniWeb. PM me with the URL of your directory, am always on the lookout for useful security resources...

Hi Jaya, welcome to DaniWeb.

You have posted in the wrong forum I am afraid, this is for introducing yourself to the community only, not asking questions.

Might I suggest that you browse the forum categories and find the one most suited to your question and repost. You will stand a much better chance of getting the help you are looking for that way.

Hi jumpstart, welcome to DaniWeb. You'll excuse me if I don't start a nursing agency though. With an elderly mother and four kids I've got my hands full in the care stakes as it is.

Coffee House drop down menu disappears behind the search panel in IE7but is OK in Fifrefox.

Hi Zuhaib, welcome to DaniWeb. I fear you will be awaiting a reply for some time for two reasons:

1 - this is the introductions forum, and not the right place to post questions
2 - your posting was confusing to say the least

I suggest you have a look around the forums and find the most suitable spot to ask your question, rephrase it for clarity and then try again!

Would anyone be interested in such things as DaniWeb T-Shirts, caps that kind of thing? Assuming that DaniWeb were makigna small profit on each sale to help towards site upkeep of course.

Hi Asrar, welcome to DaniWeb. I just love the 'I think Unix is quite interesting' remark, rather appeals to the geek in me :D

:)

Many, many years ago I was at an Amiga DevCon (see, told you it was many years ago) at Buxton in the UK. Kicking back and relaxing in the bar after dinner I ordered my usual at the time, a Jack Daniels and soda.

Unfortunately my thick South London accent was too much for the barmaid who served me up with a Jack Daniels and cider.

So, there I was, with a large JD and a bottle of Diamond White. Why waste it, I thought, and drank the mixture which, to my surprise was both very moorish and very potent.

Within an hour, tops, half the bar was drinking the stuff and they had put it on the blackboard as a drink in its own right. Becuase I was known online as Wavey Davey back in those days it was sold as a 'Wavey' and was still being sold as such when we went back for the DevCon at the same hotel the following year!

Hi Todd, welcome to DaniWeb and thanks for the detailed introduction. Nice one!

Hi Opeyemi, welcome to Daniweb. With that attitude you cannot fail but to have the best time here! See you around.

Hi Jerry the touchy typist :cheesy: welcome to DaniWeb!

Hi Nando, welcome to DaniWeb.

Try asking for help in the Web Browsers forum for starters.

IT happens, to paraphrase the t-shirt slogan...

Jaffa cake and banana sandwich

Peanut butter and banana toasties

Marmite and anchovy sandwich (cold or toasted)

I could do with another August, mine has been rubbish so far. I'll swap you for a December 1963 which I have going spare.

I'll get me coat...

I am of an age where I have enough trouble playing the darn game, without listening to music at the same time. heck, I even turn the music off that plays in the background on PS2 platformers!

Hi Jacquie, Bo Selecta! (he says in an obscure comedic reference kind of a way for all the UK members hereabouts...)

Hi Julia, welcome to DaniWeb.

And, yes, the 'Net is full to bursting with scammers and fraudsters. Thankfully there are also thriving communities of decent people, like DaniWeb, around to offer the best advice and help prevent folk being suckered in.

Hi mikeybear, Basingstone sunny, are you sure about that? Any welcome to DaniWeb from very wet South Yorkshire (always wanted a swimming pool now I have one but it is in the conservatory/dining room.)

Hi Lanreonward, best to ask in the Web Browsers forum where all the IE trobleshooting experts gather.

Oh, and welcome to DaniWeb, my friend.

Hi Brin, a warm welcome from me. Glad you are liking what you've found so far, and I'm sure you will find much more help to come over the months and years.

Hi Nestor, welcome to DaniWeb.

:p

Interesting point though. Exactly what should we regard as being the 100,000 milestone on DaniWeb?

I guess I would be inclined towards members registered and activated, but what does everyone else think?

My kids are fast getting to the point where they know enough about computers to ask awkward questions of me: and that is the 6 and 8 year olds! They know more, I suspect, than my 17 and 18 year old girls who seem to have escaped inheriting my geek gene.

Oh, and welcome to DaniWeb by the way :cheesy:

Hi mackermb, welcome to DaniWeb my friend.

I would suggest you ask in the Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 forum where you will get the most help, rather than here as this is really just for introducing yourself to other members, not asking specific tech support questions.

Hi Claudia, welcome to the DaniWeb gang!

And now 100,055 :cheesy: :cheesy: :cheesy:

Over to Dani to report when the big moment came, and who the 100,000th member was...

Search engines are clever and insightful creations, and have sent you to the right place :)

Welcome to DaniWeb, I know you will get the help you are looking for here.

Ooh, ooh, this is exciting. Like watching the lotto numbers being drawn...

Hi is always a good start, it's where next that can get difficult. Welcome to DaniWeb sleepygamercrab :)

Yup welcome to Daniweb, and don't be embarrassed by asking a question. They are only ever simple if you happen to already know the answer...

Yo Sundaramurthy, welcome to DaniWeb. You have some great experts in all those fields on tap here, so I am sure you will find us a helpful and friendly resource.
