I'd like to continue the conversation about Dani AI [going on over here](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/software-development/threads/540350/any-iast-tool-to-recommend) without hijacking a tech question. So, without further ado ... > -1 for the Dani AI content. Why downvote someone for asking a question 2 years ago that has had Dani AI added to it 1 month …
As [you can see here](https://www.daniweb.com/stats/members?country=&filter=&sort=timestamp), we get lots of new members signing up every day, but nearly no one posts. This has been true for decades and decades now. Anyone care to hypothesize why all these people sign up if not to contribute? #Lurker
If *you* were in charge of DaniWeb, what would you change? (I promise to not get defensive.)
I don't know if there is a mobile app or mobile version for this site, but I have not seen one. I think it could work great if you could check to see if someone has answered your question from a mobile device or respond to someones answer. although you …
With at nod to the [news](https://www.reuters.com/investigations/meta-tolerates-rampant-ad-fraud-china-safeguard-billions-revenue-2025-12-15/) it continues to amaze many that sites aren't just a little bit worried that the pendulum will swing back or the sword of Damacles will finally drop. I don't consider this a fine or fines. Crime shouldn't pay.
Here are all of the [topics we currently cover](https://www.daniweb.com/community/tags/0/articles). Is there anything we're missing that you'd like to talk about, that just absolutely don't fit into any other boxes? I get that there's pretty much a subreddit (or Stack Overflow tag, for that matter) for everything these days ... but …
The little dot that shows that a user is online is a great feature. I just responded to a question from a user who was flagged as online. I thought it would be a nice feature that if a user is online when someone posts to his/her thread that there …
I've seen Dani AI a few times now and all it needs is an opt-out or off switch.
Can I change the items listed on my profile under FGavorite Tags? I would like to remove: data-structure graphics:image gui I would like to add: android Thanks, Norm
It's been a long time coming, but @mentions are finally here! If you @mention another member who had posted in the thread (e.g. if you're responding to them or commenting on their post) then they will get alerted *and* the mention will link to all of the posts the person …
I was trying to update my business card, but when trying to complete step 2/2 I get HTTP Error 500. The URL in question is: `daniweb.com/connect/profile/update/2?`
Probably pretty late to the party, but you now cannot register a new username that is the same as an existing one other than spaces. For example, if someone already has the username 'Reverend Jim', you cannot register 'ReverendJim'. Previously, only exact match usernames were checked. However, to avoid confusion, …
How to create new tag? 
Pretty much one reason: IMHO, Q&As are getting obsolete with AI. I think it makes sense to focus more on the community discussions that can't be reproduced elsewhere. I'll even go a step further to say that's what puts us one step ahead of sites like Stack Overflow, which are …
Playing with ChatGPT to organize our tags has sent me down a rabbit hole. I definitely think I'm going to get a lot of flack for this, but I'm experimenting with adding AI Overviews to forum threads (beneath the first post, above replies). Don't be caught off-guard if you spot …
At Reverend Jim's suggestion, I'd like to ask if anyone has been finding it confusing or frustrating or having a poor overall experience with accurately tagging topics lately?
I’ve been trying to be as proactive as possible with asking discussion-style questions on DaniWeb almost every single day. I figure a lot of the types of questions we used to get around here can easily be solved with ChatGPT nowadays, so instead it’s all about just chit-chatting with other …
I've gone and done a whole bunch of refactoring today, specifically related to query string parameters and page navigation, and so please let me know if you encounter anything out of sorts. Also, sorry about the downtime earlier in the day. All part of coding in production :)
Is there any way to search Daniweb based on the title of the first post in a thread? For example, I seem to recall that we once had a thread where someone (possibly me) asked "What is the worst code you have ever seen". When I do a search for …
Pretty much since ChatGPT first came onto the scene, we have had a strong policy of not allowing AI-generated content to be copy/pasted into forum posts here. I know that some members, like rproffitt, really disagreed with that sentiment at first. Now that it's been a few years, and you've …
Get error when sign in with Google 
Over the past week or so, I have been hard at work adding some features to our [backlink checker](https://www.daniweb.com/tools/backlinks), and my mini-project finally wrapped up today. If you are a technical SEO who does link building, I would very, very much love for you to check it out and let …
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 …
Following up on [this topic](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/software-development/threads/543151/show-computer-name-on-a-label) it seems as if Mr.M has been having trouble with Chrome crashing whenever he tries to type in our editor (which we just upgraded a week or two ago). > @Dani this happens when I type a longer message than it froze and crash. I …
What brought you here? How did you find out about DaniWeb? *(It was a Google search, wasn't it?)*
I know that BlueSky is a new toy , that we don't know how much will last in its current state. But my question is beyond BlueSky , it is in all emerging media. For example in BlueSky programming talk is vibrant with a whimsy touch but not with harassment …
This is definitely not a targeted attack at *anyone*. Please take it just as me having a bad day and venting. I'm kinda tired of people constantly telling me that I'm the reason that DaniWeb traffic has tanked over the years. And if only I had done this differently. Or …
As you may recall, I've been working on cleaning up tags for quite some time now. A few years, actually. That project is nearing its end, and so I just want to remind everyone of our [tagging guidelines](https://www.daniweb.com/welcome/tagging) that have been in place for a couple of years now. You …
I modified our database library today to not connect to the database unless required. Previously, it automatically connected on every page. However, especially on pages that just pull from the cache, database connections aren’t necessary. Hopefully this should provide some incremental performance improvements. In the meantime, please keep an eye …
Daniweb showed up as having a breached password in Avast, but if I try to log in it claims my computer's time is wrong so it is obviously thinking I have moved to a different timezone. How can I get in and fix it? I assure you I am not …
If you love DaniWeb, or even if you don't, it would be much appreciated if you could [review us on Google](https://g.page/r/CSyiHReUFoTLEAI/review). Much thanks!!
I'm curious on people's thoughts of using DaniWeb's content to train an A.I. model, with all the questions that are marked as Solved. It can be an optional feature, like "Ask DaniWeb AI". When a user asks a question, the DaniWeb AI will auto answer your question if it's been …
1. No more robocalls. 2. A CyberTrk. May have to wait. 3. A good shawarma for lunch. 4. A new Daniweb home/top page.
We are in the process of upgrading both the version of Codeigniter PHP framework we are using, as well as the version of PHP we're on. We are just putting some final touches and anticipate going live in the next few days. I'll update this thread when we do. If …
I think this is more of a concern to Dani and I'm not writing this is a bug. Just interesting. Here's what it looks like now:  If DANIWEB is undergoing a rebrand like Twitter to X, I would used the greater than symbol.
Hi Everyone - Just wanted to post here that Dani is MIA for a little bit, she's keeping an eye on DaniWeb via her phone, but is away from her computer. I'm sure she'll be back at it soon!
DaniWeb will be switching to new servers later today, and there is planned downtime of a couple of hours. Unfortunately, I don't have an easy way of putting the site into read-only mode. What will most likely happen is that we might lose a few hours of database content.
Sorry for the brief downtime today. I was refactoring some stuff on the web server when DaniWeb went down unexpectedly. I spent about 10-15 minutes going crazy trying to figure out why nothing was being written to the log file and what went wrong, when it turns out I forgot …
How do you reply to a post here without having to vote? Trying to answer a question with the character limit is hard. Also I don't think any of the tags are relevant to this post, but it is required, so I will add one.
Trying to get some insight into motivation so I can come up with ways to do a better job giving you what you want.
In an email conversation I was having with Jim last week, I wrote: > It’s a lot easier to google something than it is to find DaniWeb, sign up, create a username, activate your email address, navigate to the contribute page, come up with a topic title, figure out what …
When I get onto Daniweb I notice that the private message icon (speech bubble) next to my avatar has a little red dot. I believe that was to notify me that I have one or more PMs waiting to be read. However when I go to the message centre there …
While going through new posts this morning I noticed a change in behaviour. Yesterday, if I clicked on the sprocket to the right of a thread title I got a pop-up menu (mark as read, etc.). Today the menu pops up briefly before I get taken to the thread. There …
The White House continues to insist that inflation will soon subside and that the U.S. will return to its pre-coronavirus prosperity. But the Biden administration's regulatory agenda actually ensures that the post-

You may have encountered a weird error message trying to log into DaniWeb today. We were victim to a signup attack yesterday where 1000+ bots figured out a way around our CAPTCHA and signed up. I've tightened up the signup + login forms today to prevent this from happening again …
I've found myself on the "Endorse Members" page: 
I’ve made some UI changes to our forums page after my husband told me it looked too old school and like a 1990s webpage. Let me know your thoughts: https://www.daniweb.com/forums As you may have noticed, I also made some changes to the sorting and filter buttons on forum listing pages. …
The End.
