 | Re: parsing < signs I have a bit of a headache and have been in and out of bed all day, so it's hard for me to concentrate on a code investigation right now :( With the particular code snippet being discussed here, the poster accidentally put the description in the code snippet place …  |
 | You should use a 301 to indicate to google that the content has permanently moved to the new domain. Then, if you haven't already done so, register your site with [Google Webmaster Tools](http://www.google.com/webmasters/) and there is a place in there where you can indicate your site has moved to a …  |

| | Re: PhpBB spam One thing at a time :) Firstly, I haven't played with phpBB in a *very* long time, so I can't give you any phpBB specific information. But here goes ... 1. You will want to enable CAPTCHA (human verification) in your registration process. You might also want to play around …  |

| | Based on your criteria, the best way is, as Jorge says, to use Google Custom Search Engine. We use dto use CSBE (the business version) but now we use the free version of CSE. If you *did* have a database, I would recommend either SphinxSearch or Lucene. |
| | Re: Keyword Stuffing When you want to rank for a particular keyword in google, you keep repeating that keyword on your webpage multiple times in a very unnatural way. For example, suppose I want to rank for the keyword 'blue shoes'. I might have something like: *We sell blue shoes here. You can … |

| | I've temporarily disabled the live preview when posting in the DaniWeb editor. I've been really looking seriously into why contributions to the forums have been ever-decreasing and so poor lately, and I was able to trace it back to a complete night and day difference the day that we switched … |
| | Not that things are necessarily *that* bad here on DaniWeb (yet), but I thought I'd open up a discussion about ways to revive a dead (or dying) forum?  |
| | SEO (search engine optimization) is the process where you ensure that your content is optimized for Google's bots to crawl and index, make sure that you have lots of incoming backlinks, etc. PPC (pay per click) is when you purchase traffic through programs such as Google AdWords. SEM (search engine … |
 | What do you mean cache your blog?? Do you mean get it indexed in search engines? I'm confused what you mean.  |

| | Recently read somewhere that some sites are starting to see Lycos.com (yes, the one that fell off the face of the earth a decade ago) pop up as a main referer for them according to G Analytics. I'm not seeing ANY traffic at all from them, but was wondering if … |

| | Am I just clueless, or where can I find the coordinates of the cursor in the latest version of Photoshop or Illustrator when I have View Rulers turned on? |

| | Re: Payment Gateway. Try WorldPay or even PayPal. Most payment gateways would need to accept both Visa and Mastercard, as they are both heavily used. |
 | |
| | Click on Edit Profile (at the top of the page) and then scroll to the bottom. You will want to check 'Receive Email from DaniWeb' and also 'Automatically Watch Articles I Post In'. You can click the link to Watched Articles, also at the top of the page, to see … |
 | Do you have anything in your CSS saying `position:absolute` or `position:fixed` ?? |
 | What file extension are you trying to upload? |
 | The code you are showing looks fine. Where's the part in the Wordpress template that lets you set the `<title>`? |
| | > What is the major/minor differences between a signed, and unsigned number? When do I need to worry about this? If the variable will need to hold both positive and negative numbers, you will want it to be signed. Otherwise, it can be unsigned as you won't need to store … |
 | Our servers are hosted in Dallas, TX at a datacenter owned by a Houston-based company. I used to live on Long Island and DaniWeb's office was on Long Island. I've since moved into an apartment in Queens, NY that is literally 300 ft west of the Long Island border, and, … |
| | Hi Jonathan, Welcome to DaniWeb! I'm sure that Davey (aka happygeek) will be happy to know that :) |
| | Is only your computer affected? If I remember correctly, Internet Explorer has a setting where you can choose to overwrite a website's CSS file with your own stylesheet. Other reasons might be an old version of the CSS file is cached. Try clearing your temporary internet files.  |
 | For some reason, your user ID wasn't added to the list of posters in that thread. You can even see that the OP says 3 contributors to the thread when in reality there should be 4. I'm not sure if this is a one-time bug or something else. Either James … |
 | Re: MS Office Help Because you can post in the Microsoft Windows forum and then just tag your thread with ms-office. |
 | You can do what we do, which is serve our PHP documents from our Apache server. We then have a separate web server set up called LightHTTPd, which has the potential to be faster than Apache, which we use to serve up our static content. We ensure to not compile … |
| | From what I understand, you only need to follow federal laws based on the country your site is based off of / where your servers are hosted. For example, DaniWeb is a global community, which means we get traffic from some communist countries such as China and we even get … |
 | Re: Standalone EXE From what I understand, that's the virtual machine that is used to interpreset VB, and comes standard with most versions of Windows. There may be third party tools that can bundle everything together, but not that I know of.  |
| | What is the difference between: isset($foo['bar']) array_key_exists('bar', $foo) Is there a performance difference? Is one way more correct than the other?  |
 | Yeah, unfortunately it went away when we switched to the new system. The spellchecker that you are referring to was a functionality of your browser, not of DaniWeb at all. Most current web browsers have built-in functionality that uses their own dictionary to spellcheck text typed into textboxes. The problem … |
 | Formatting fixed. |
| | What does the PHP error message `Uninitialized string offset: 0` mean?  |
| | |
| | |
 | You want a lot of visitors? Don't we all :) Doesn't happen without a lot of hard work I'm afraid.  |
| | |
| | I understand that the HTML 5 spellcheck attribute works on any input, textareas, and editable divs. I want to get spellcheck to work with our wysiwyg editor, which uses a non-editable div with a hidden input field (for backwards compatability). Is there any trick to get the spellcheck attribute to … |

 | It just changed a few hours ago. I added the ability to start a discussion thread right from the homepage. What do you think? |
 | Wow, you learn something new every day. I didn't know about force_download(). I was manually setting http headers and such for post attachments on DaniWeb that can't be viewed through a browser (Word documents, etc.) |
| | Can anyone point me to a sample use case of a very lightweight PHP-based example of a Google Analytics API pull?? I'm looking for two things: * Registering a pageview * Fetching pageviews per day/week/month/all for a particular page Thanks!  |
 | Re: Penguin 2.0 Alas, I read the news yesterday but didn't post here like I should have. Thanks for doing it! I checked yesterday and didn't notice any difference. Was really hoping that Penguin losers would push us higher up the food chain and help out our Panda situation (currently hit hard). |
| | As the title suggests, what do you think about noindexing forum threads with no replies?? We do it here once we got hit by Panda the first time around, but then we recovered, and now we're hit again, and I'm wondering if it's a good idea to remove it. We … |
| | I was wondering if anyone had any experience with Cloudflare and what you thought of it? A *LOT* of big sites are using it, and from what I'm hearing, it's really good at caching entire webpages at the DNS server end without ever having to hit your web servers. However, … |
| | I was wondering if anyone out there had any opinions (strong or otherwise) about Discourse (http://www.discourse.org), the new Javascript-based discussion system built using Ruby by the guy behind StackOverflow. It's meant to revolutionize forum systems. Do you think it does?? It's a nice JS-based skin, I'll give it that, but … |
The End.
