I think that might help a little bit,if you could set it Dave so the box ONLY SHOWS for new members (People with under 5 posts) it might work :)

It was strange.....

Is there other ways to help boost daniweb traffic besides linking your daniweb account to your blog......

The Dude 944 Nearly a Senior Poster

Welcome to the site :)

You might have something if your SVCHOST is using all your processing power..

Check and see if you have a copy of svchost.exe (which isnt the real thing (and a copy of dllhost.exe)) in c:\windows\system32\wins

Please let us know........

I agree with closing old threads automatically.

This is just basically trying to FORGET THE PAST and in my opinion: THE PAST WAS MUCH BETTER!! (The 80s mostly and before)

The Dude 944 Nearly a Senior Poster

Frankly I think reviving an old thread can be useful sometimes. Maybe you have something to add that wasn't mentioned and the thread provides a good segway into it.

Yes and i see NOTHING WRONG WITH DATES!! (They are meaningless)

The Dude 944 Nearly a Senior Poster

Seems like Dani deleted the offending Data :)

Its strange how sometimes stuff written in a reply can cause such kaoss...

Thank you Dani for correcting the issue :)

1. The modified explorer.exe file must be named explorer.exe again.

Yes this is very true! (I failed to mention how i did this)

I just created a new file called "explorer2.exe" and then used take manager to "END TASK" on explorer.exe,then i changed the filename to "explorer.exe.ORIG" (Original) then i changed "explorer2.exe" to "explorer.exe" and re-started the process and all was well :)

(When i was done i just did everything in reverse and all was well :))

I should have listed this important fact before,THANK YOU FOR DOING IT!!

Alot of sites (Like this one) require cookies to hold your login session!!

If you clear your cookies for example,close your browser and then come back here,your browser will lose sync with your current "session" and you will have to re-login to re-sync things.. (Clearing your cookies will only drop you from the site,it doesnt YOU OUT of your current session)

The Dude 944 Nearly a Senior Poster

If you have registered, you will be able to edit and delete your posts.

It was being abused and was disabled (Deleting your posts)

Hardily any sites still allow you to delete your stuff (Especially if it has traffic on it (Replies))

The Dude 944 Nearly a Senior Poster

... I warned ya..

Yes you did :icon_cheesygrin:

We should send them feedback and let them know how we feel about this matter!

Edit:

I did just that!!

Here is the link to check and see if they reply :D

In the meantime,here is a FREE personality test!!

My results

ENFP "Journalist". These people love novelty and surprises. They are big on emotions and expression. Life is an exciting drama. They are good at sales, advertising, politics, and acting. 5% of the total population.


Quite accurate :)

The Dude 944 Nearly a Senior Poster

$39.95 for the test??

Screw that!!!!!

I did the whole thing,filled out bogus info and it wanted me to ORDER my results....

The Dude 944 Nearly a Senior Poster

Hmm it says SCRIPT ERROR when i click RESET (Nothing else happens)

Hmmm,looks good though!

The Dude 944 Nearly a Senior Poster

How can the site tell you SOMEONE HAS PM DISABLED until you try and send it to them?

The Dude 944 Nearly a Senior Poster

You can simply UPLOAD THE FILE to http://files.ww.com and send them the link to DOWNLOAD it :)

The Dude 944 Nearly a Senior Poster

That could be Mr Bennet,

I have a friend who is blocked from alot of sites @ work... (I guess they dont want people surfing when they should be working)

The Dude 944 Nearly a Senior Poster

I had that problem also when Dani first changed stuff last week (The bases were squished on the left) She told me the skin was set to a much higher resolution than i was using.....

I suggested to her by letting her know that most sites auto detect the browser settings and adjust the skin to fit that size and after that the bases were right again :) (Maybe she accidently messed it up when she first changed things)

I like the look of the site now and im glad Dani worked with me on it... (I just hope i didnt make her mad)

A very interesting thread :)

The Dude 944 Nearly a Senior Poster

I won't touch anything created by Google. It's all spyware.

I agree!!

Astute Reg readers have pointed out a Chrome condition of service that effectively lets Google use any of your copyrighted material posted to the web via Chrome without paying you a cent.

Why would anyone wanna use this POS when this is a condition of service??

Source: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/09/03/google_chrome_eula_sucks

Its just a ploy by google to get info from people so they can be plastered with ads,etc.... (They are almost as bad as microsoft)

The Dude 944 Nearly a Senior Poster

Good insight Peter but if he was a MAC user he would not have this file

cmicnfg.cpl

Thats a CONTROL PANEL file in Windows OSs :) (i have 24 .cpl files)

We had someone try it on 3.01 earlier and they got on!! (They had one failed attempt (The same as Dave is having))

The Dude 944 Nearly a Senior Poster

Ah. In with IE, not with FF.

Connects fine for me in FF 1.5 :)

Where can you get a copy of GW basic? (Or Basic A)

I like to program in Basic and i would love having these again!!

The Dude 944 Nearly a Senior Poster

Sometimes it doesnt work when i try it either...... (Thats where my "View Source" plugin comes in VERY HANDY!!)

Im not sure why VIEW SOURCE doesnt work sometimes.. (Can the site disable it your viewing @ the time?)

Im running MyIE2 :)

The Dude 944 Nearly a Senior Poster

The offical word on this from a staff member on the FF site:

There is a bug in firefox which prevents painting after about 32000 pixels. It is in both FF2 and FF3. In some cases you can use the FF3 page zoom to shrink the page below 32000 pixels.

The Dude 944 Nearly a Senior Poster

I am on Firefox 2 right now and i just tried that thread and im seeing the same results!!

Seems like Firefox is only allowing X amount of data to be shown on 1 page and if it goes over,it doesnt show the rest..........

I wonder if that limit can be increased (Perhaps using "About:config")


Interestingly when i viewed source,saved the file as "test.htm" and viewed it,THE WHOLE THREAD WAS DISPLAYED!! (All 7 replies on the page) so whatever restrictions it is imposing on a webpage,IT DOESNT IMPOSE WITH A LOCAL FILE. (As in my test)


Might be able to be modified in about:config but im at loss as to what to change (I looked thru it and cant decide what to try (uugghh)) I dont use FF much...... (Im on the XP upstairs right now)

The Dude 944 Nearly a Senior Poster

Maybe the cache isnt big enough in FF and it doesnt load the whole thing?

The Dude 944 Nearly a Senior Poster

Have you tried a SYSTEM RESTORE to a few days before this started happening??

The Dude 944 Nearly a Senior Poster

When you click LOGOUT your cookie is cleared,no one else can see the site WITH YOUR ACCOUNT!!

The Dude 944 Nearly a Senior Poster

Not to worry......

When you click BACK you are viewing the CACHED copy in your browser...... (Does that with me also)

The Dude 944 Nearly a Senior Poster

It might be due to HEAT in the tower,that causes reboots....

Try cleaning inside around all fans,etc and see if it continues!
