Meta DaniWeb

I've noticed an appalling number of first time posters who post threads with titles like "Help! Urgent!!!!". The posts can be almost as useless as "I'm trying to program something and I'm getting an error. What am I doing wrong?". It would seem that few people are reading and following …

Yesterday, Daniweb was unavailable for few hours. Any Idea why? (Posting this again, because it is much suited to this forum, & I cannot delete my thread in Geek's Lounge, so just asked it here, no offence i guess)

i made a group on here but i don't know how the create a thread on it or how to delete the group . . . anyone know how to do either ?

Hi, please delete this [url]http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/java/threads/402525[/url] thread for me, as I am not sure I had the right to post this link. Only editing out the link will be fine as well.

Hi, I've created this account several years ago while in college and I would like to change my username to something more appopriate since I am now working as a programmer-analyst rather than just studying programming (TGI being the short name of the course i followed) If an administrator would …

i want to change my name pls . how should i do it

[url]http://www.daniweb.com/hardware-and-software/microsoft-windows/viruses-spyware-and-other-nasties/threads/34368[/url] Any way this can be deleted? It comes up when I do a google search for my name....

For several days now, Daniweb pages are appearing here with most if not all images missing, eg. DANIWEB in the masthead, avatars, topic status icons, editor icons (except [ICODE], which I know was a recent addition). Facebook and Twitter logos are OK. Right-click>reload image has no effect. The problem appeared …

Can someone please change my username to natehome123, this is very important. thank you

Are my the only one seeing this? Daniweb seems to be out of order. Fancy buttons now just show links and member names and avatars seem to cross borders into comments and posts made by members. Also, the text space for typing replies is just in disarray as in the …

I would like to change my username. Thanks

I know u have like 'Web Development' and a 'PHP' section, and even a slightly less related "Perl' section but unless I missed it, I don't see one for CGI... or JQuery for that matter.. what about adding CGI to the 'PHP' section? Right now, PHP has it's own topic, …

Have just started donating again. However, sponsor rights not displayed. Suppose I have to wait a while? Anyway, thought I might have to logout and login again. Tried logging out and I got to a screen saying 'cookies cleared' and do I want to go back to the previous page …

Hi folks, When browsing technical sub-forums, I noticed that there are a few threads which end with the OP replying "Thanks, it's solved/working now!" or something to that effect and are still not marked solved. Similar is the case with one-shot-posters who post a query which is duly answered but …

Is this to stop spam? If so, it's a nightmare. Was puzzling for ages how to post until I did a post reply from a prev post. Judging by the no. of posts in the php forum, it seems to have baffled almost everybody. And my random question: [B]What color …

friends i want to change my username to amitshree.plz help me

Noticed DW down this morning and then posts not updating in the listings page. SO older posts still listed as being the most recent. No prob for me - just to let you know if you hadn't noticed.

Yeah, I've forgotten how to mark a post as resolved. Most of the other forums have omitted this valuable tool for doing so. Thanks for any consideration. Also I'd like spell check as mine is horrible! I guess IE8 iSpell doesn't work so well like Firefox! I found iSpell and …

How often is this updated. Is it cached? After creating/answering posts, the latest activity doesn't seem to be recorded. I assumed that because the new data -> DB, the 'TITI' - you gotta love that acronym - would query the DB and return said new data?

Looks like my problem is solved..

Hi Dani Would it be possible to have a second page (cached/updated every 7 days) of stats where it shows graphs of fortnightly stats for things like the following. [LIST] [*]Line graph of (Total reputation added to daniweb). [*]Line graph of (My received reputation) and (My sent reputation) on same …

Since we are already mentioned in [URL="https://github.com/search?q=daniweb&type=Everything&repo=&langOverride=&start_value=1"]few projects[/URL] ;) could we get official account where we may actually upload tutorials and link them in posts? That will also mean that someone will have to actively monitored or perhaps mods or selected members would be contributors.

Anyone else seeing this behavior? Post a response, someone responds, you respond back, they respond, etc., and you have a thread with, say, six posts. Life is good. Then look at the page (see screenshot)... ONE reply. Click on it and you get the whole thread with SIX replies (or …

Hi. I just looked at my reputation points today and found all of this negative rep. I checked the posts it came from and it appears it may be from positive upvotes which are being displayed as negative rep. Can somebody please look into this as there are all of …

What have you done?? There I was working my way slowly up the activity rankings (erm, I don't take them seriously, honest :)), when suddenly I see a Weekly total. Pah - This is just an extension of Today's Activity isn't it - some temporary list? No real difference IMO. …

I just had a newbie bump a 2 year old thread; admittedly to ask for help with a similar problem. This is most often done by new users who are not yet aware of Daniweb rules. However, unless I am mistaken, there is no way of starting a new thread …

Just want to clarify what is spam again. Having links in your signature that promotes or advertise something is counted as spam but having your own blog in your link is now, right? So, how about having SEO links not affiliate to the poster? Does that count as spam too

Dani, will you someday change the editor in the Report Bad Post link to use the same advanced editor that is used in other places, so that we can see the "insert link" and smily faces buttons? I could probably insert the tags manually but never seem to remember how …

Is it possible to get my user name changed to functionalCode? Thanks

Hello, I ran into a bug with the tab focus for logging in. [B]How to reproduce the bug:[/B] 1) Make sure you are logged out 2) Click on the "Join Daniweb" link at the top right of the page 3) Click on the "Member Log In" link at the top …

I just had to get this one out there. I love daniweb, and I'm sure the [B]VAST[/B] majority of the users here do as well. And, unlike many other websites this one's community is made up of some of the greatest IT and Development minds around "as well as noobs …

is there any page of this site on Facebook?

Good Day..how could I change my Name here? tnx :)

I wanted to upvote another user's post. When I clicked on the upvote link I got a popup which stated "[user] currently has 537 reputation points. You have the power to influence pyTony's reputation by 4 points." I felt his assistance was worth more than one point but there was …

Is anyone ever going to fix the dead link on [url]http://www.daniweb.com/community-center/daniweb-community-feedback/threads/10915[/url] with the label User Maintenance, General forum usage, Reading and posting messages. I would really like to find the guide that explains the finer points of the Daniweb user interface. I think this is it but it had been …

Today advertisement is overflowing the first message, like earlier version of Nokia browser, where quoted message is overflowing the new message.

Hello every-single-body :) I wanna ask you several questions.. Where should I start from? :-/ Well.. 1. Who is Dani in this website? :icon_mrgreen: I really don't know. 2. Where are most of the members of this website from? I think most of you are from India, aren't you? 3. …

Looks like every single thread gets double tweeted immediately by one guy (in software development), see attached sample.

Over the few weeks, i realize that less member are joining daniweb each day. In the past it use to be a few hundred a day not it can be so devastating that only 48 members join daily. Is there other ways to help boost daniweb traffic besides linking your …

Hi, I have problem deleting two social groups of mine. Do I need to be a moderator or administrator to delete groups?

I've been tryin to connect to irc.daniweb.com but says server was not found? I'm using mIRC and newbie on IRC thing :D

Recent newsletter from Daniweb had an article and dicount coupon for Reimage. I clicked on the link. As with most dodgy cleanup apps there was no pricing, just a download. But this was a recommentdation from Daniweb and surely they wouldn't be recommending something that wasn't legit. Although rereading the …

Is it me or is something odd going on? I've just got a couple of reps on a few posts, so thought I'd have a butchers. I found the title text of this thread on each one. Odd. Can't remember them being negative at any point. Perhaps I'm more unpopular …

Where did the old "ALL unsnswered posts" and "ALL of todays posts" buttons go that used to in the sidebar years ago? Its a pain having to do this through every board...

Yesterday I bought a new Galexy Tab (similar to IPad but 1/3 the cost), but was unable to log into DaniWeb. Has anyone else tried it with IPad or similar product? After I clicked the login button it just erased my password and refused to let me log in with …

Over the past day and a half or so, I've had multiple occasions in which the page "stalls" before loading all the way. The text is all there, but the "bullseye"/solid purple icons next to the posts, and all of the FB/Twitter regalia take a few seconds to come up. …

i need to change my user id to sathya88... please change my username...

Hi everyone, this is a kind of poll. Daniweb is one of the best and leading forums for problem solving of all kinds. Its one forum i know that you can have a friends list and add people to them, also you can send and receive private messages. Sometimes, we …

Hello everyone.. It's come to my mind that, as a form of facilitation, it's better to put a question mark beside most of the parts of DW pages. For example, in the members' CP there should be a question mark to click on so it takes us to/ shows us …

Hello.. I searched the forum for a thread that explains how to rename your username, but I couldn't find any.. How can I assign a new name to my membership here? Thank you.
