 | Sooooo ... crazy huge thanks to James #2, I think that we officially have liftoff when it comes to marking threads read. Most of the code that goes into this functionality was way above my head, and took me about three hours to comprehend 100 lines of code tonight, so … |
 | DaniWeb was hit by the first Panda algorithm update and ended up losing about 60% of our traffic (which we later gained back a few months later). Google has said that the latest version affected about 1-4% of all sites on the Internet, but not that individual sites were only … |
| | We've always had the bar, for at least the past 2 or 3 years. You don't find it useful? |

 | I changed it for you but really... I thought we got the editor working finally. What browser are you using? |
 | Make sure cookies are enabled, and that the login form wasn't from a page that was sitting idle for 6+ hours. Also, are you going through a proxy server? Any weird Chrome extensions installed? |
| | Yes, it's definitely important to have a server in the same country you want to target. Search engines do check the server location. As also pointed out, having a server closer to your visitors is going to make the site load faster for them. Worst case scenario, and you can't …  |
 | Hi, I've had good success in the official Google Groups forums. You can of course also email support ad adsense-support@google.com, adwords-support, etc. If you have a Webmaster Tools account, you can contact them through there. Unfortunately, I don't think that they will offer an answer to this particular question of … |
| | Sorry, I guess I'm behind the times. Whta are Facebook templates? For Facebook apps?? |
| | > One important thing I notice is that regular posters on a forum can spot an advertising posts in a heart beat. Couldn't be more true! What is so frustrating is when people think they are getting away with free backlinks, but they are really just coming off as spammers. … |

 | Lots of really great, high quality content. |
| | A Google official has announced this morning that the search giant is back in action in China. Google, the second most popular search engine in China, behind Baidu, announced in January of this year that it would no longer censor its search results on the Chinese version of its website, … |
| | Sorry about all the site downtime today. :( Long story short, there was a huge problem that was the fault of our hosting company. James #1 can explain further :) |
| | Yes, I believe it can, although I'm not sure there's official confirmation of this. Have you noticed the "sandbox" effect (where no matter what changes you make, there's just absolutely no improvement for a set period of months) after switching hosts? |
 | Browse webmaster forums looking for creative features to add to DaniWeb. I'll then have a project on my hands and will no longer be bored with nothing to do. Or I veg in front of the tv.  |
| | Do you currently use cookies to log people in? Is that working successfully for you already? As Jorge pointed out, different members can have different roles/groups/etc tied to their accounts in the database. When you check their login information against their credentials in the database, you can see what kind … |

| | White hat on-page SEO with a bit of pagerank sculpting thrown in. |

| | File a reinclusion request in Google Webmaster Tools (google.com/webmasters). It can take a couple of weeks for a response though. Make sure that your robots.txt file is not blocking any URLs that you don't want it to, and make sure your .htaccess file is not doing any weird redirects you … |
| | [According to Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_hijacking) An important part of Google's algorithm is duplicate content. If multiple pages on the web have the same content, only the one that Google believes is the original/authority remains. This is a technique to fool Google into thinking that the wrong one is the original, therefore deindexing … |

 | Re: Which is best HTML is a client-side markup language. Everything on the web uses HTML. PHP is a server-side language that lets you send different content to different visitors and make a website interactive. It outputs HTML. |
 | Re: Website Traffic Give people a reason to want to register. Create great content. Give them incentives. Tell them what's so great about joining and why they should do it. Promote your site through Facebook and twitter. Create a FB fan page. Encourage your FB friends to like and share your site. |
| | I think this can still be an interesting theoretical question. You have a list of email addresses. (It doesn't matter how you got them. At the end of the day, you have them.) What can you do with them? What are the possibilities? Kinda the intended purpose of the Promotion …  |

 | It can take up to about three months. |
 | That's a very broad question ... Read up in this and other SEO forums and you'll be sure to get *LOTS* of amazing information. Nice, clean HTML code, properly structured, good internal navigation with good linking strategy, etc. |
| | Re: Backlink Check Google's link: filter is super inaccurate. Use Google Webmaster Tools at [url]www.google.com/webmasters/[/url] |
 | Re: Vote up/down If you just click the arrow up or down, it doesn't affect reputation at all. If you click the arrow and type in a comment, then reputation is usually affected (unless it's in an off-topic forum such as Community Center, or you already gave that person reputation today). |
| | Option 1: The "Show Comments" link will be fixed and only visible when there actually *are* post comments to show. Option 2: A post's comments will always be visible beneath a post (a la Stack Overflow and many other forums that have commenting systems). My concern is that this will … |
| | Re: Related Article I changed it over the weekend, so it's fairly new. I also made a change where if you visit an old thread, instead of the notice that the thread is dead, there is now a link encouraging you to start a new thread instead. |
| | It seems, unfortunately, like it is your hardware. A surge from a lightning storm would definitely produce such an effect. However, the good news is that if you're not experiencing problems other than with your monitor, your motherboard, processor, and hard drives are (hopefully) saved. Now for the bad news. … |

| | Sorry about that, it was a bug. Everyone was seeing the button in member profiles to send a PM to the member regardless of whether or not they had permission to do so. Fixed :) |

| | Don't you rent the set top box from your cable provider? |

| | Huh?? What is Play store? I'm not sure what you're asking, sorry. |
 | |
| | Do you mean like joining affiliate programs? There are tons out there that you can join, and then promote through AdWords, and earn a commission when people buy. However, it's definitely more competitive nowadays than it used to be. Firstly, AdWords changed their policies awhile back so that only one … |
| | Create great content. Use social sharing buttons and widgets (facebook, twitter, etc). Create a facebook fan page. Start off by promoting it to your friends. Encourage your friends to share it. Again, it goes back to creating great content that people will naturally want to link to and share. |
The End.
