Meta DaniWeb

So normally there's about a 50% change that I receive the monthly digest. But this month the haunted-mail server decided to catch up and send me the digest twice. Once on the second and once on the 9th. No big problem, just thought you should know.

Whilst flicking through someones profile, i noticed something odd. They have a reputation of 11, 213 posts, 64% quality, 6 solved threads...and they can give +3 to someones rep. I understand that the rep power is calculated on a number of things, but i have 609 posts, 92% quality, 126 …

Since mid-afternoon the text in the C forum has been showing up centered on the page (thread listings, threads). I'm using Firefox 3.58. I just checked on IE 8 and it looks ok except that the Intel banner ad is in the wrong place. Anyway, just thought I would let …

I have discovered that in emails any html code in the topic name appears as styled html in the email. I would suggest using htmlentities on the subject in the email updates. Just thought I would let you know of this security risk.

I have a feature suggestion, since I know you are nothing short of super ultra busy or anything :P I use the Previous Thread / Next Thread links at the bottom of the page of posts all of the time, but I'd like to be able to do the same …

Last night in FireFox 3.5.3 I lost the formatting in all of Software Development. The other communities seem fine. I checked Opera and another computer, all is fine. Other websites seem to be unaffected. I deleted all Daniweb cookies to no avail. I also have no 'attach files' option for …

[url]http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread252440.html[/url] gets me this error message [quote=daniweb_server] Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 3842759 bytes) in /home/daniweb/httpdocs/forums/includes/class_bbcode.php(172) : eval()'d code on line 150 [/quote] I'm assuming the OP has pasted a bitmap (or some other stupid thing) into the message, rather than an attachment.

Only this time, it wasn't. My reply to [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread254052.html"]this thread[/URL] is there in the singular. But I also got a "This forum requires that you wait 15 seconds between posts. Please try again in 1 seconds." I rather suspect had it timed out differently, it would have been a double …

Hi. I keep getting a popup on the homepage (and other pages) which asks to complete some profile details. After, it closes with a javascript error, and the control panel dropdown no longer shows. I thought I could fix it by filling in a company, but it doesn't update. So …

Is Daniweb running extremely slow or is it just me? I've tried on multiple PC's on different internet-connections.

Hello, Can I have my named changed to [B]Assim[/B], please. I tried to register with that name but it didn't allow me. It's actually my first real name and I'm having it in all websites (forums included). So I will be extremely happy if this could be done. Thanks in …

Can we have a dedicated forum for J2EE? Though it seems a bit strange that it's not there as someone must've thought of it before.. :) I searched but couldn't find any threads on the topic..

User [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/forums/member633371.html"]FBody[/URL] send me this PM: [QUOTE=Fbody]I couldn't find a site support style link so, because you're a mod that I've interacted with before, I'm sending this to you. Would you please forward to the appropriate person? I posted in the thread "[URL="http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread250820.html"]sleep() error, help![/URL]" yesterday and subscribed to the …

Is it possible to flag a Personal Message as Spam? I received two identical messages from a banned member today but couldn't find a way to report it.

My post total just jumped by about 50 since last time I checked this morning. EDIT: It only shows that in the profile. On my posts themselves it says the right amount.

The "My Favorite Forums" only shows up on the daniweb main page now. Was this part of an update? I liked this navigational ease of showing it on all of the pages. Just my $0.02.

I seem to remember a friends and fiends feature (or was this on another site?). While the friends/contacts feature still exists. It would be nice to have a "git-list". There's quite a few people I've helped over the last few years who never bothered to reply/mark the thread solved etc. …

Hi Everyone, I was just coding a small mockup example from someone on the PHP forum and it just occurred to be that DaniWeb's code tags will only highlight in one language (To my knowledge). This is somewhat annoying since most PHP files can contain HTML and only one can …

Hello wonderful people :) Can my username be changed? I signed up last May and used the same username I use on most sites, but I have since dropped this alias on most sites :D Can it be changed to [B]Will Gresham[/B] please :P

why do you think the following "solution" in the C-language forum is a good solution? [QUOTE=xavier666;1069864]The problem is that you have not flushed stdin. Put [icode]fflush(stdin);[/icode] before the [icode]scanf[/icode]. That should do it. -- [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/forums/post1069864.html#post1069864"]/forums/post1069864[/URL] [/QUOTE] ... because you actually gave it a green cookie with the comment: [QUOTE] Well …

At least for those people with say less than 10 posts. There is no end of dross from people bumping threads with 1-line of pith which is either off-topic, or just vaguely relevant. Most seem to go for old threads with high "visit" counts in the belief that means their …

Is that "this thread is over three months old" warning new(it's possible I totally missed it before)? Either way I like it!!

It seems a bit odd to me that one can't donate to Daniweb except as a monthly commitment. I am quite happy to donate but not monthly. So why not arrange a donation option for those who want to express their gratitude for being able to benefit from the service. …

Imagine I want to see all code snippet on delphi only... I can't! From web development I can jump to delphi FORUMS, not to delphi SNIPPETS, and in the "Revamped code snippets" page, I can't filter on a languaje... Isn't it the most basic feature on a code repository mixing …

For some reason I was unable to move directly to a thread that a user has responded to- notified by email to me. On logging in I was unable to find my threads. A site search with the terms "my threads" did not help. I solved this by selecting Control …

hi ,members currently browsing this forum is showing multiple times screen shot included,i have seen this many days ago but it didn`t change hope after this post they will change thank you

[URL="http://www.daniweb.com/code/post1021475.html#post1021475"]This [/URL]is not a snippet, but the flag-bad snippet link is gone. The reputation link is also missing. [edit] and what's up with the giant "quick reply" button?

Hi, I have been here for about a year and a half. I originally was only going to stay for just one question but fell in love with the community. So i would like to change my username to something more identifying. So could i change it to "Paul Thompson"? …

I've experienced double replies. I am sure I've click the post button only once. Unfortunately, it doesn't happen all the time, so it's hard to pinpoint if it's something on my end.

Hello, as the title suggests I want to remove the code I supplied in posts made in a thread I started in the C forum. The reason I want to do this is because the program I wrote is for an assignment due next week. I know other students in …

How does one ask a question on DaniWeb? I'll ask here for lack of knowledge on where to find the proper place. I volunteer at a local library and try to help them keep their computers and network up. The library has hired two "professional network" people that resulted in …

Each page is taking me 20-30 seconds to load, it's pretty frustrating :icon_neutral: Is there a reason for this?

Hi, I just recently posted in one of my threads about 44 minutes ago. But on the main front page it says last updated post was 5 hours ago. This is on firefox 3.5.3 and internet explorer 8, on windows xp? The offending thread is

time update for threads problem

:icon_eek: Strange things have been happening lately. 1. Visited threads are still marked as unread ? 2. Even though I made the last post in [url=http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread228062.html] this [/url] thread, [url=http://www.daniweb.com/forums/forum17.html] php forum [/url] doesn't say so. I have attached the screenshots of the forum and the thread. One more bug. …

Test 2 ?

Can you put a time limit on voting, such as when a time expires then no more votes are possible? Six months seems a reasonable limit. I have seen some of my very very old posts (2-4 years) with votes. The same for applying rep should also apply.

Is that what it should do? [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/code/snippet227078.html"]Here[/URL] It is displaying my name as it appears in my profile as opposed to my DaniWeb screen name. Is that a bug or is it meant to do that?

Sorry, thread title a little melodramatic, but making sure is noticed :D Seriously though, when tags initially rolled, individual "tags" were separated by a [B]comma[/B], rather than by a [B]space[/B] (although commas still seem to work as well). The problem is that this updated format disallows a two-word tag, such …

Oh nevermind, my own fault :@

I just wanted to point out a few things I notice about the new DaniWeb. In IE6 based browsers it is hogging 25-50% or more CPU every time I click on something in the new site. It never returns to normal, and periodically spikes to 25% without clicking on anything. …

Hi I am unable to list the threads that I solve any more. Can someone show me where you hide this button :)

Can I edit a code snippet, that I submitted < 30 mins ago? only the indentation looks awful - I didn't realise that until after I submitted it! oops :(

It displays message: [CODE]Fatal error: Call to undefined function fetch_tagbits() in /home/daniweb/httpdocs/forums/includes/functions_forumdisplay.php(452) : eval()'d code on line 18[/CODE] when I click on User Control Panel. On XP / FF 3.0.14

Is there anyway I can bring to a moderators attention a spurious PM?

I liked the old profile page better because the text was a lot shorter and you could navigate it easier. When i'm posting and think I read a similar post earlier in another forum I open up the users profile page and hit the "Find all threads started by .." …

I have noticed that since the upgrade, when previewing the text that we are about to post, the previewed text is smaller than it should making the number of words per line misleading and at times hard to read. Also in this same preview area, code boxes with a line …

Guys i am offended by having one of my posts deleted by happy geek, and i decided not to post in daniweb again. ofcourse i will be posting in other websites under "serkan sendur". So you can join me there if you like. i am well known with following my …
