The Forums page (the first item in the footer toolbar) has gotten a huge overhaul today that hopefully will make it a lot more useful ... plus it brings back a bit of nostalgia from our vBulletin days. Enjoy. And let me know thoughts. https://www.daniweb.com/forums
Anyone else experiencing lag of between 5 and 20 seconds when loading a new page? Started about 30 minutes ago for me, pages start to load and show the first couple of posts in a forum and then stall for a while as the browser waits for daniweb.com
I would like to do a project to predict the tag for the discussion thread based on articl title and the post in daniweb. Can i get the daniweb data to do this? Pls reply soon
Is this correct?  That seems like a lot of points for someone that has never contributed. Bug, or exploit?
Hi DW I know I'm nothing but a member of this greatest community, but I would like to point out some of the thing I've experienced I won't talk for everyone because I maybe the only one experiencing it. 1) Can you guys please find a way to separate the …
Hi. I seem to be unable to login. I rcieved an email saying I had got an endorsment so tried to login but it doesn't recognise my password. I have tried to reset my password 3 times now. I get an email with a link to click, but when I …
I was just thinking about all of the unsolved threads, the ones that actually are solved, and I was thinking, maybe @Dani could add a 'Please Mark as Solved' button that users could click to notify the owner of the thread that they should mark it as solved. Obviously, this …
A while ago, I had an account on DaniWeb.com, and I requested it be deleted. On that account, I had donated about $3-$4. I had also gained the OP Sponsor rank. Is it possible that I could get it back? I am able to prove the payments as they were …
This is a suggestion to the admin as an user of daniweb to introduce a live chat option,so that the users dnt have to kip on refreshing and waiting for the solution of their query. looking foroward 2wards some positive action from the admin towards the subject matter. with regards …
I posted a sample project for a user by uploading a zipped project folder. After I made the post I thought of a small change. I could edit the post but saw no way to "edit" the attachment. I was hoping to be able to delete it then upload a …
How about adding a delete button? Some time (twice overall) I had to "report" my topic to moderation for request, so they could delete it. Because I had already found answer in some way. The "unlimited" edit button. It does vanish after some time. I mean, few first minutes, it's …
OK ... spent all last night squashing bugs ... now it's here for prime time!! Please go into your member profile and select the option to receive mailing list-style notifications. It will give you the ability to read and contribute posts via email ... a la listserv. Sorry newbies, though …
You may notice a change in your member statistics (post count, reputation, solved thread stat, etc). After server issues left the database out-of-sync, I've gone ahead and recalculated all of the counters based on the latest data. There has NOT been a change to the way anything gets calculated ... …
Hello everybody i am a new member of daniweb community
When browsing a forum listing, you can now click on the link that tells how many replies there have been to load a lightbox showing how many contributors there have been and who they are, along with their reputation. You can now quickly see the quality of the people who …
Nearly 5 am and I lost track of time and spent alllll night coding up our new homepage, which features our Activity Stream. Secondly, there's now a 'New' tab within each of the forums to sort articles based on created date as opposed to last post date (which of course …
I'm wondering if it is possible at all to disable the CTRL-S action when writing stuff on the editor. This is just because I am a frenetic hitter of the CTRL-S key combination, which comes from years of just writing lots of stuff (code or text) and constantly hitting that …
Hey DaniWeb *Never fear, Phorce is here!* I've completely stopped getting emails from you guys when a watched article has been read. I've clicked "Watch article" and everything but still nothing.. Checked my spam folder, nothing. Anyone else facing this issue?
Over the past day and a half, I've worked on generating our own in-house thumbshots service, instead of relying on the commercial product at thumbshots.com for the website screenshots seen when hovering over links and in member profiles. Doing so will save us $500 a month, so that's good news …
Noticed the other week that once you cancel sponsorship (for whatever reason) that you lose all recognition of helping the site at all in terms of running costs. Can we introduce a 'Past Sponsor' badge or something along those lines so that those who have given but currently can't for …
When we switched over from vBulletin to our own unique platform back in March 2012, one of the things that changed was the way that post quality score was calculated. Most members noticed their quality score had suddenly changed by a few points. Since then, however, over the past year …
I'm sure everyone would like to join me in welcoming the newest member of the DaniWeb moderating team, and a much deserved appointment it is too: [JorgeM](http://www.daniweb.com/members/929775/JorgeM)
Is there a bug tracking system to submit bugs found on this site? I mean like "trac" or something like that?
Community activity has been WAY down since we switched over to our new proprietary platform and off of vBulletin just over a year ago. There was literally a night and day difference in activity from the day before the switch to the day after. I thought that it would just …
So, while I was away from the office last week a parcel arrived. A parcel containing the latest incarnation of the Parrot AR Drone for me to review for DaniWeb. Not mine to keep, just to play with for a few days. Which is probably just as well because, to …
Could be related to current system tweaking efforts, but just in case: PM notifications are broken on-site. Email notifications coming through OK, but there are now no indications on-site of new messages without actually dropping into the Private Messages section itself.
Wouldn't it be nice if we have a notification system ? I mean i will get notifications of only those threads on which i have replied at least once or the threads which are started by me ? It is going to help me alot if i have a beep …
Spiceworks, one of DaniWeb's advertisers, has just rolled out their DaniWeb API integration!! Check it out here: http://www.spiceworks.com/p/daniweb Please be sure to give suggestions :)
actually, i deleted my one account on daniweb some time back, but i wana look at the posts ,whatever i have asked, comments by experts here and everything. i know i can see the posts, but i have to go very far away from today so as to look each …
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 …
Hi Admin & Moderators, I just wanted to bring to your attention the fact that it seems this forum seems to be in continuos refresh mode for me. I am using IE8 while at work. Just a fyi!
I've just attempted to donate 25 USD (unfortunately not much but I hope it helps) to Daniweb, through the Paypal service however I haven't seen any updates to the goal ticker so I am unsure whether donation payment was successful (without getting a bank statement at the end of this …
Dear Moderator, I have registered to this site an year ago but I was not visiting it for a long time.. But Now I visited this site after a very long time.. I started providing answer @ ASP.NET sections.. But to my surprise I found that someone is down-voting my …
I just found the coolest new BOINC project (BOINC projects are distributed projects that use your spare computer cycles to solve HUGE computational questions from SETI to Malaria to climate research) - it is called Quake-Catcher out of Stanford University. They send you a sensor that you screw to your …
I wanted to update my signature, but it says I can only add upto four lines. Unfortunately it counts the markdown lines, not the result. See attached image. 
If I check my profile page I read "Total Down-Votes Received: 16", yet if I click the [Posts Voted Down](http://www.daniweb.com/members/495627/mvmalderen/posts/downvoted) button, only one downvoted posts shows up. My gut feeling tells me that it is related to my nickname change, because since then the downvoted posts list seems to give …
For some odd reason, parts of the site like awkward. For example, the community center button is flying off the menu (right under the hardware & software menu) and the top stats chart is displaced. You may need to look at it, I may not seem clear.
When quoting a user, the username of the quoted user isn't shown. The page about [markdown syntax](http://www.daniweb.com/community/syntax) seems to imply that this isn't possible in a syntax supported way. I think it would contribute to clarity to also be able to syntactically specify the username of the quoted user. I …
This has surely been mentioned before. I've noticed an increase in the number of noobs who are resurrecting old threads. Based on what I did shortly after joining (before getting lightly slapped on the wrist), it's likely the posters just didn't notice the thread date. Apparently the purple banner isn't …
I just noticed the little purple dot on the threads with a pop-up indicating "user is currently online". Have I been overlooking this for a while or is this a brand new feature? In any case, I like it.
Can any administrator remove my name from the code section on my first thread? I don't want it to appear on Google and it seems to have already found its way on there. Thanks.
I created a thread last night and accidently forgot to put crucial information in my code. I found the edit button and quickly edited it, however I spotted another place that could help others figure out what is wrong with programming code. There is no edit option now. The only …
As if you didn't have enough to do... There are certain articles that I would like to bookmark because I either want to return to them at a later date for a more detailed look, or that I would like to cite in response to a new question (usually one …
Is there any chance of getting an option to disabled the post preview the automatically shows up below the textarea as you type? Even just a simple check box or something on the page to disable for that post would be great. I spend a lot of time trolling the …
K! I have been off the daniweb for sometime now. But came back today. But i think i forgot my login details..... so i asked for the reset mail. And i got it, but when i click on the link, it just goes to my profile and no option whatsoever …

If I go to a forum (VB.Net in this case) I see a number of threads marked as NEW. I select one thread somewhat down the list and open it. I respond to the question, then redisplay the VB.Net threads. All of the NEW flags have now been removed. Is …
Anyone notice Dani's hard work yesterday? When starting a new thread it......... Anyone? Buler? Buler? I wanted it, she coded it, nobody noticed it! C'mon guys, I know somebody saw...
The End.
