Re: Do backlinks to disallowed URLs help the domain overall? 6 Days Ago by ashleydent4u You’re right that Google may still consider backlinks to URLs disallowed in robots.txt, but it doesn’t mean that the link juice (or Pagerank equivalent) flows as effectively as it would if the page were crawlable. As for the domain root, the backlinks to those disallowed pages don’t directly impact the overall domain's authority in a significant … Re: Cannot run exe from asp.net 6 Days Ago by lennyli > Why your approach isn’t working > What you're trying to do is mostly blocked by modern security rules — for good reasons. Here's the breakdown: > > Running a .exe on the server > You can technically make the server launch an .exe file like Notepad, but: > > It will run in the background on the server, not visibly on… Re: why social bookmark got removed after some time ? 6 Days Ago by ashleydent4u It’s frustrating when backlinks from social bookmarking sites disappear after a short time! The reason this happens is often due to the nature of social bookmarking sites—they tend to be less stable over time. Many of the platforms that allow you to create backlinks may remove them to maintain quality or due to spam filters. Also, some of these … Re: Problem with MS Office shortcut bar 6 Days Ago by asadalikhan Nick, this issue sounds like a file association problem. Your URL shortcuts on the shortcut bar are likely opening with the wrong program (like a printer handler). Here’s a quick fix: 1. Go to Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types 2. Find and select .URL 3. Click Advanced and ensure it’s set to open with Internet Explorer (… Re: Any jQuery 4 users? 6 Days Ago by gediminas.bukauskas.7 Every additional JS library slows down loading of the site. I haven't used jQuery for a long time, so I would like to know: does the new jQuery have something that can't be done with the DOM API and CSS? Re: Any jQuery 4 users? 6 Days Ago by Dani Given that jQuery is a front-end JavaScript library, its goal is to make writing your front end JavaScript easier and quicker than writing native JavaScript. However, as it is written on top of native JavaScript, there’s nothing it can’t do that native JavaScript ultimately cannot. It just might take a whole bunch more lines of code in native JS. … Re: Problem with MS Office shortcut bar 5 Days Ago by asadalikhan Nick, it’s likely a file association issue. Reassign `.url` files to open with Internet Explorer in Folder Options > File Types. That should fix the shortcut bar behavior. Re: Do backlinks to disallowed URLs help the domain overall? 4 Days Ago by MasoodDidThat The sole purpose of disavowing a link is to stop Google from indexing the backlink so it does not affect your ranking. You can upload the file of your disallowed backlinks to GSC (https://search.google.com/search-console/disavow-links). This practice helps protect your site from potential penalties associated with low-quality or spammy links. So… Re: Differential Directory, indexing method 4 Days Ago by xrjf Just a quick update for anyone interested: I have revisited and significantly improved the code, aiming for a more professional structure and better performance. The updated version avoids freezing the UI during long operations and follows more robust programming practices. If you’d like to see DiDi in action, there is also a video … Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! 2 Weeks Ago by Salem So I've seen two (possibly more) threads that end with the phrase "let's discuss" and an exclamation mark of over-enthusiasm (which is ironic, since it's low post count drive-by accounts posting this stuff). The preambles are well written, but meaningless pith. It's such an odd way of closing out a post that it stinks of having AI … Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! 2 Weeks Ago by Dani I agree that they *might* be AI generated, or at least have the help of AI. Sometimes it's hard to tell, and I always want to exercise extreme caution and not delete or infract a post unless I'm 100% confident. I have a bit of a migraine right now, so I have to put a little more thought into whether these 2 posts should be deleted when my head is a… Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! 2 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim And I disagree with that. The post I was referring to was >In this thread, let's dive into the exciting advancements in the world of audio technology. From spatial audio to AI-driven sound systems, the audio landscape is evolving rapidly. Share your thoughts on the latest innovations, your favorite audio gadgets, or how new tech is shaping … Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! 2 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim I have a problem with people who start posts about a topic with "let's discuss", but don't actually start the discussion. I have a friend (?) in Toronto who, especially during election season (which seems to be always these days), asking for my opinion on things without ever offering one of her own. I got tired of putting in the effort … Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! 2 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim 1. I thought we didn't have "forums" anymore. 2. Perhaps the OP posted in the wrong place. 3. Regardless, it was clearly a discussion and not a question. It's moot since the thread has been deleted. Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! 2 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim I've had close relatives who had that but I don't recall headaches as a symptom. I hope I never get it (I can't get the vaccine because it's a live vaccine). Good luck with recovery now that you have a diagnosis. Re: How Does Google's BERT Algorithm Affect Modern SEO Practices? 3 Weeks Ago by ashleydent4u With BERT in play, it’s definitely become more important to prioritize content quality and user intent over traditional keyword stuffing. Keywords still matter, but the focus has shifted to how naturally they fit into well-written, helpful content that answers real questions users are asking. So, understanding your audience’s intent and creating … Re: How Does Google's BERT Algorithm Affect Modern SEO Practices? 3 Weeks Ago by jonathannweyer BERT shifted the focus, it's less about exact keywords now and more about matching search intent. Quality content that answers real questions clearly tends to rank better, so definitely prioritize that over keyword stuffing. Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! 2 Weeks Ago by Dani I disagree with that sentiment when it comes to a Q&A forum such as DaniWeb. The very premise of the site is that people ask questions. Quite often, uninformed questions. Sometimes those questions are just asking for your informed opinion as an expert in your field or as someone more informed than they are at the topic at hand. Other people … Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! 2 Weeks Ago by Dani >I fail to see the distinction between asking for an opinion versus a suggestion versus any other form of help or assistance. I understand that you see a distinction when the OP is trying to start a discussion versus asking for advice or help. However, I don’t understand why you make that distinction in a Q&A discussion forum. Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! 2 Weeks Ago by Dani > I have a bit of a migraine right now, so I have to put a little more thought into whether these 2 posts should be deleted when my head is a bit clearer. Unfortunately, I ended up in the ER from an unrelenting migraine that hasn’t let up for 6 days, and is not responding to any medication. I don’t mean to drop the ball on this thread. Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! 2 Weeks Ago by Dani Today is day one trillion of this still unrelenting headache. FINALLY, a diagnosis! I have shingles. Feeling hopeful to begin treatment and start feeling better. Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! 2 Weeks Ago by Dani Jim, My intense headache is because the shingles rash is all over my scalp, my eyebrow, and even all over my eyelid! The intense headache pain was radiating from the area of my scalp where the shingles rash eventually presented. Luckily, the shingles vaccine is no longer live, so you should definitely get it. (I just happened to have not … Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! 2 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim I'll have to ask next time I am at the pharmacy. Thanks for the tip. Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! 1 Week Ago by Dani Having a very, very difficult time. My eye is swollen shut and I’m in danger of losing my vision as the shingles rash gets closer and closer to my cornea.

The wait for v4 gold release is killing me. Also, please don't make fun of me for being a jQuery user. DaniWeb has been built on jQuery for decades. (Okay, maybe that's not something to brag about.) Evaluating OpenAI GPT 4.1 for Text Summarization and Classification Tasks 1 Week Ago by usmanmalik57 On April 14, 2025, OpenAI released [GPT-4.1](https://openai.com/index/gpt-4-1/) — a model touted as the new state-of-the-art, outperforming GPT-4o on all major benchmarks. As always, I like to evaluate new LLMs on simple tasks like text classification and summarization to see how they compare with current leading models. In this article, I will… Is linux your daily driver? 3 Weeks Ago by Dani Linux has come a long way, but it's still primarily a server OS, correct? How many of you linux fanboys and girls use it as your primary operating system for daily tasks? How does it compare to Windows or macOS in terms of productivity and overall user experience? Re: Is linux your daily driver? 3 Weeks Ago by Dani I started this thread thinking about James, DaniWeb's sysadmin, who I was surprised to hear uses Windows as his daily driver, despite his proficiency in Linux. I believe he quoted things like Linux not being ideal for gaming. I'm macOS only these days. Re: Is linux your daily driver? 3 Weeks Ago by jkon I exclusively use Linux on my personal PCs, currently the Ubuntu distribution. I switched from Windows between 2010 and 2012. Before that, I used Linux on a different PC for several years, followed by a period of dual booting. Thanks to WINE, I have yet to encounter software I cannot run on my PC. I believe Ubuntu has become so user-friendly that …
