 | I am currently finishing up my B.S. in Computer Science at a local private University. When I started a couple of years ago, C++ was taught in the intro to programming course for freshmen. About two years later, Java was taught as a first language. (I disagree with that because …  |
 | Re: Weird request Oh goodness, you've been here quite awhile, now haven't you? techtalkForums and DaniWeb are the same site ... we just changed our name when we expanded to be more than just technical support :) Any old posts you made should still exist. Unfortunately, with 50,000 members, the number of members … |
| | I know I'm a bit late, and I apologize for that, but I just read the article (I found it through a google search!!) and I enjoyed it. Thanks! :) |
 | Re: Image The forum is closed for posting icon? Ahh, yes, since I don't have any closed forums (and don't plan to in the near future) I just never bothered making up an image. I will soon, promise :) |
 | This is a server issue when trying to access one of two threads on this forum that have 500-1000+ replies. When doing a search for the last post in the thread, the database has to traverse through all 500 posts before figuring out which is the last one. Since this … |

| | Re: Adsense problem They allow you to place the code in up to three places. However, sometimes a particular page doesn't have enough content to have enough ads available for all three spots. Therefore, it will begin filling the ad spots from top down, and it will leave ad spaces it can't fill … |
| | That can be done by editing the forumhome_subforumseparator_post and forumhome_subforumseparator_nopost templates, and replacing a comma with a <br /> Then, in the vB options, choose to show subforums on the forum display templates. |
| | Re: Introduction Sounds like you have a lot of different techie interests. Welcome to DaniWeb! Hope to see you around ... everywhere from our software development section to our internet marketing section :) |
| | Hello there. Welcome to DaniWeb. Unfortunately, to prevent spamming, and those who just post for the purpose of getting visitors to their website, mentioning your site by name is prohibited. However, ways to build a community ... perhaps adding blogs, tutorials, referral systems, etc. |
| | In an effort to remain as professional as possible (and with other reasons that will be understood shortly), the DaniWeb team has decided to prohibit the use of font face, color, and size tags within posts. This will hopefully be a huge improvement to site usability, since the look and … |
| | Never were any popups on DaniWeb, and never will be any. I try really hard to stick to only relevant, high quality ads, in combination with AdSense. (However, it is a bit dependent upon who wants to buy advertising ;) ) However, we're running an HP campaign right now, in … |
 | If you use Google AdSense, you cannot put other contextual based ads on the same page. A contextual based ad is any type of ad - banner, text, etc - that dynamically spiders the page content and displays relevant advertising on-the-fly like AdSense does. In addition, you cannot put other … |

 | Re: Link Swapper There are quite a bunch of programs and scripts out there that claim to be the best link swap directory. In general, there are ones that are pretty good. When looking for one, make sure that it has the following, lifesaving features: [list] [*]site visitors can automatically post their site … |
| | There was another post located here [thread]636[/thread] regarding the same question. It turns out that QBASIC is a 16-bit language, just like Windows 3.1 was. Windows 95 and above were 32-bit with 16-bit support. Starting with Windows XP, however, Microsoft has decided to strip the 16-bit support. Therefore, your Qbasic … |

 | Really good program. I have version 8 though, and it's a lot better than 7. You can edit your partitions from the windows program, then restart your computer, and it will do the actually repartitioning for you before it loads Windows back up. But if you have a clean hard … |
| | Hey there Oscarr. Welcome to DaniWeb. To eliminate those fellas who just register on the forums to spam, there is a 10 post minimum before you can use a signature. It looks like you have two more posts to go. So once you post, you'll automatically gain the ability to … |
 | Re: Why Use XHTML? Thank you Chris for making me feel like I didn't waste my weekend making the DaniWeb header, footer, and homepage CSS-based and table-less. :)  |
| | I agree that the old way was not very intuitive. I therefore wanted to make it better when redoing the site, but I thought I'd leave it as one of the last things to do and then figure it out after everything else was done. And it seems I've forgotten … |
| | If you ever get a 404 File Not Found error, it's always on my end. But I'm confused where the problem is. If I go into the Control Panel, what do I click on to duplicate the error?  |
| | Yes, it is a user-based option. You can select to view threads the linear way or the threaded way. :) |
| | Right click on your desktop. Click on "Arrange Icons By" and make sure "Lock Web Items on Desktop" is disabled. When it is enabled, you get the blue border. |
 | Re: two questions Question 1 - You have about 15 minutes to edit a post (and post attachments) after it has initially been posted. There is no need to delete attachments in the future because there is no limit on the maximum number of attachments that you can upload to the system. Question … |
| | I have a lot of things on my plate right now, but this is in the list of things to do. |
| | Teaching your little ... err, grandson, perhaps?? to play with guns?  |
| | I think that a better approach is to do something similar to the moreover hack for phpBB (although I don't remember exactly what it's called). Basically what it does is take an RSS feed that you want to syndicate and cache the HTML output to a txt file that updates … |
| | Re: Curious MSN and Yahoo are used more by the mainstream audiences while Google is used more among computer enthusiasts, webmasters, and more computer saavy audiences. |

| | Google allows you to buy PPC campaigns that link directly to the eBay domain name or to some other domain that you don't own. There is no reason for the redirect. |
| | When advertising your site in various places, try using a query string. For example: [url="http://www.site.com/?adwords"]www.site.com/?adwords[/url] [url="http://www.site.com/?newsletter"]www.site.com/?newsletter[/url] etc. It's a good way to label all of the different places you're getting traffic from. Then, use your favorite traffic statistics analyzer - such as Urchin or Hitbox - and you can track … |
| | Hey Aaron! Fancy seeing you around here lately. To elaborate on what Aaron said about Google's link: function ... I believe it's updated near monthly? |

| | I recently received an email from a DaniWeb member saying they're trying to use the blog RSS feed with the Bloglines feed reader, and it doesn't seem to be working. However, the forum RSS feed does work. The forum RSS feed is at [url="http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/external.php?type=rss2"]www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/external.php?type=rss2[/url] The blog RSS feed is at … |
 | If you couldn't find your link in the directory, odds are it was automatically deleted by my system already. The directory regularly scans all of the sites in it, and prunes those which don't link back to DaniWeb. |
| | Do you mean that you want all links to open up in a new window? I don't think you could set this as default - nor do I see why you'd want to? On the other hand, you can right click on any link and choose "open in new window"  |
| | Yes, it's related to the ads. I noticed it just started happening today for me, as well. Unfortunately, I have not yet narrowed it down to which ad it is. Once I figure that out, I'll contact the owner of the ad and ask him what's up. |
| | An idea I have been contemplating for some time is using post icons such as: [ INFO ] [ QUESTION ] [ RANT ] etc ... :) It might be helpful to those who are surfing the forums to see at a glance which threads are informative / discussion-oriented and … |

However, with AdSense, it's very rare that you should be seeing a lot of PSAs? Are you using AdSense on pages that are behind a login screen or have minimal content on them? |
| | Constantly set short-term goals that have a forseeable end. When you first start, set a goal of maybe 50 members, then 100. Once you reach that goal, aim for maybe 500. Once you have that steady stream of new members, try to see if you can raise your postcount everyday … |
| | Re: KVM SWITCH HELP! I have gone through a bunch of KVM switches (PS/2 based, USB based) and never had a problem. It's most likely the kvm switch ... or maybe the cables are bent awkwardly? |
