Re: Problem with MS Office shortcut bar 7 Minutes Ago by asadalikhan Nick, this issue sounds like a file association problem. Your URL shortcuts on the shortcut bar are likely opening with the wrong program (like a printer handler). Here’s a quick fix: 1. Go to Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types 2. Find and select .URL 3. Click Advanced and ensure it’s set to open with Internet Explorer (… Re: Do backlinks to disallowed URLs help the domain overall? 3 Hours Ago by ashleydent4u You’re right that Google may still consider backlinks to URLs disallowed in robots.txt, but it doesn’t mean that the link juice (or Pagerank equivalent) flows as effectively as it would if the page were crawlable. As for the domain root, the backlinks to those disallowed pages don’t directly impact the overall domain's authority in a significant … Re: why social bookmark got removed after some time ? 3 Hours Ago by ashleydent4u It’s frustrating when backlinks from social bookmarking sites disappear after a short time! The reason this happens is often due to the nature of social bookmarking sites—they tend to be less stable over time. Many of the platforms that allow you to create backlinks may remove them to maintain quality or due to spam filters. Also, some of these … Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! 6 Days Ago by Dani Having a very, very difficult time. My eye is swollen shut and I’m in danger of losing my vision as the shingles rash gets closer and closer to my cornea. Evaluating OpenAI GPT 4.1 for Text Summarization and Classification Tasks 4 Days Ago by usmanmalik57 On April 14, 2025, OpenAI released [GPT-4.1](https://openai.com/index/gpt-4-1/) — a model touted as the new state-of-the-art, outperforming GPT-4o on all major benchmarks. As always, I like to evaluate new LLMs on simple tasks like text classification and summarization to see how they compare with current leading models. In this article, I will… Re: Webdesign and new user experience 6 Days Ago by graceweb I see your point, but I think Sofina is looking for something that can genuinely enhance her client's experience. AI can be a powerful tool if used thoughtfully. Maybe there are ways to integrate it that align with her vision without overwhelming the design. Re: What tools or tweaks improved your outreach and link-building efforts? 6 Days Ago by Salem 6 to 12 months is a long time to wait to figure out whether your "seo expert" is genuine, or a fly-by-night cowboy who's already vanished with the cash without producing a result. How do you tackle this? Re: Metaverse Marketing Services 5 Days Ago by rproffitt I thought that idea was dead. The new thing appears to be the Zuck's AI In Everything which I don't need in my toaster. Re: Data storage and retrieval - cache or database 2 Days Ago by jonathannweyer If the "status" doesn't change frequently, caching is a solid option. You could fetch it from the database the first time it's needed, then store it in a cache (like in-memory or Redis, depending on your setup), and use that for subsequent loads. Re: Cannot run exe from asp.net 1 Day Ago by Neil_brown001 Why your approach isn’t working What you're trying to do is mostly blocked by modern security rules — for good reasons. Here's the breakdown: Running a .exe on the server You can technically make the server launch an .exe file like Notepad, but: It will run in the background on the server, not visibly on the desktop. It needs special … Re: Any jQuery 4 users? 2 Days Ago by Dani > Why would anyone be hesitant to admit to using jQuery? At the time it was released, it sparked fundamental upgrades to JavaScript. JQuery was popular when we first started using it. Nowadays, there are much more elegant JavaScript frameworks, and native JavaScript is often faster than jQuery. Than jQuery 3, At least. I’m excited someone… Re: Any jQuery 4 users? 1 Day Ago by jkon I'm still using jQuery, a very slim build. Our JS library/framework handles all the heavy lifting, including AJAX, WebSockets, logical events, data manipulation, and architectural events. Replacing jQuery would be relatively easy since we often use our own extended jQuery functions, like our custom 'onClick' (which has a different implementation in… Re: Is there anything special I should pay attention to when doing SEO? 4 Days Ago by jonathannweyer Focus on including keyword research, where you should understand what your audience is searching for and use relevant keywords naturally in your content. On-page SEO is also important; pay attention to title tags, meta descriptions, and header tags, as these help search engines understand your content better. Make sure your site is mobile-friendly,… Re: Differential Directory, indexing method 4 Days Ago by xrjf I've just made an update because some records weren't being added properly. The issue was that the form didn't take into account that the register field (in the call to DiDi) is passed by reference. Re: Differential Directory, indexing method 2 Days Ago by noahevans This is a brilliant explanation of how Differential Directory (DiDi) indexing works — very efficient and elegant. The idea of storing only the first differing bit between keys reminds me of how we optimize systems for speed and memory, much like how some tech repair services streamline diagnostics. At FixnVibe, our approach to mobile phone … Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! 2 Weeks Ago by Salem So I've seen two (possibly more) threads that end with the phrase "let's discuss" and an exclamation mark of over-enthusiasm (which is ironic, since it's low post count drive-by accounts posting this stuff). The preambles are well written, but meaningless pith. It's such an odd way of closing out a post that it stinks of having AI … Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! 1 Week Ago by Dani I agree that they *might* be AI generated, or at least have the help of AI. Sometimes it's hard to tell, and I always want to exercise extreme caution and not delete or infract a post unless I'm 100% confident. I have a bit of a migraine right now, so I have to put a little more thought into whether these 2 posts should be deleted when my head is a… Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! 1 Week Ago by Reverend Jim And I disagree with that. The post I was referring to was >In this thread, let's dive into the exciting advancements in the world of audio technology. From spatial audio to AI-driven sound systems, the audio landscape is evolving rapidly. Share your thoughts on the latest innovations, your favorite audio gadgets, or how new tech is shaping … Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! 1 Week Ago by Reverend Jim I have a problem with people who start posts about a topic with "let's discuss", but don't actually start the discussion. I have a friend (?) in Toronto who, especially during election season (which seems to be always these days), asking for my opinion on things without ever offering one of her own. I got tired of putting in the effort … Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! 1 Week Ago by Reverend Jim 1. I thought we didn't have "forums" anymore. 2. Perhaps the OP posted in the wrong place. 3. Regardless, it was clearly a discussion and not a question. It's moot since the thread has been deleted. Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! 1 Week Ago by Reverend Jim I've had close relatives who had that but I don't recall headaches as a symptom. I hope I never get it (I can't get the vaccine because it's a live vaccine). Good luck with recovery now that you have a diagnosis. Re: How Does Google's BERT Algorithm Affect Modern SEO Practices? 2 Weeks Ago by ashleydent4u With BERT in play, it’s definitely become more important to prioritize content quality and user intent over traditional keyword stuffing. Keywords still matter, but the focus has shifted to how naturally they fit into well-written, helpful content that answers real questions users are asking. So, understanding your audience’s intent and creating … Re: How Does Google's BERT Algorithm Affect Modern SEO Practices? 2 Weeks Ago by jonathannweyer BERT shifted the focus, it's less about exact keywords now and more about matching search intent. Quality content that answers real questions clearly tends to rank better, so definitely prioritize that over keyword stuffing. Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! 1 Week Ago by Dani I disagree with that sentiment when it comes to a Q&A forum such as DaniWeb. The very premise of the site is that people ask questions. Quite often, uninformed questions. Sometimes those questions are just asking for your informed opinion as an expert in your field or as someone more informed than they are at the topic at hand. Other people … Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! 1 Week Ago by Dani >I fail to see the distinction between asking for an opinion versus a suggestion versus any other form of help or assistance. I understand that you see a distinction when the OP is trying to start a discussion versus asking for advice or help. However, I don’t understand why you make that distinction in a Q&A discussion forum. Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! 1 Week Ago by Dani > I have a bit of a migraine right now, so I have to put a little more thought into whether these 2 posts should be deleted when my head is a bit clearer. Unfortunately, I ended up in the ER from an unrelenting migraine that hasn’t let up for 6 days, and is not responding to any medication. I don’t mean to drop the ball on this thread. Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! 1 Week Ago by Dani Today is day one trillion of this still unrelenting headache. FINALLY, a diagnosis! I have shingles. Feeling hopeful to begin treatment and start feeling better. Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! 1 Week Ago by Dani Jim, My intense headache is because the shingles rash is all over my scalp, my eyebrow, and even all over my eyelid! The intense headache pain was radiating from the area of my scalp where the shingles rash eventually presented. Luckily, the shingles vaccine is no longer live, so you should definitely get it. (I just happened to have not … Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! 1 Week Ago by Reverend Jim I'll have to ask next time I am at the pharmacy. Thanks for the tip.
