This is probably something the vBulletin people could improve their software with but if it is possible to implement this for the dev-archive web site without modification of the vBulletin software then that would be good.These forums are so international that I am sure many of us would like to know...

Is it me or in the last week(s) we have seen TOO MUCH of flaming posters?I think it's a waste of resources to draw a thread like: "You're wrong" "I'm not" "Yes you are and you're st*p*d" "No I'm not".. Where's the moderator?--Nuno Tavares http://nthq.cjb.net...

A lot of this site sets a light grey background, but fails to set a text color. When the text color is left undefined, it could turn out to be anything, including white. The browser will draw text in whatever color the operating system is using for text.So a lot of the dev-archive pages wind up bei...

I think that a welcome addition to this great site would be the possibility to rate the articles posted (in a manner similar to the one in which the forum rating works).A suggestion: the initial rating should be assigned by the maintainer of the section and should be permanent (but reviewed periodic...

the state of dev-archive at the moment reminds me of the classic programmer problem. The user doesn't care how you do it, just do it. We really don't care if you find it hard to update your site, and we really don't care how the site looks. the reason programmers come here is to find...

Mr Jones,You are still site manager right ?I would like to say a thing that this early morning around 3:30, I tried to visit your site but I couldnot...You blocked me right ?:(I just think I didnt do anything wrong, or posted anything wrong, right ?You did tell me that...:(Regards,Fionaaa...

I'd like to hear any specific, constructive suggestions for making things better, clearer, and easier when it comes to submitting articles to dev-archive. If you have comments about the interface, please provide constructive suggestions to go with any complaints.Thanks!Brad! (( This is for arti...

Anyone going to DevConnections or any of the Connection shows in Las Vegas next week? If so, let me know. I'll be there a day or two myself and it is always great to meet people face-to-face!<br/>Brad!

It is time to vote for the September/early October articles to determine which should receive $200. Please vote for the articles you think are the best (you are voting for articles, not people). Your votes will help determine two of the three articles to be awarded. I reserve the right as site admin...

How can I delete my dev-archive account, as if I were banned from dev-archive?

You asked for it, and we listened. As requested, we have now set up a store on CafePress so that you can get shirts, buttons, mugs, and other gear with the dev-archive logo. Check it out at:www.CafePress.com/dev-archiveAs to the prices, they are only slight increases over the base prices of CafePre...

We will then narrow down the articles to finalists and let the voting begin. Look for voting on the fin...

Any plans on making the advanced search feature, more advanced? Or can someone help me understand how to use it better? I would like to be able to use logical operators to search for multiple words (OR, AND or a combination of the two). Is that possible? Google allows you to search for exact phr...

Okay, something has gone terribly wrong with the top menu.<br/>EDIT: HELP! You can't click anything below it. And it covers the first 800+ pixels of the top of any dev-archive page! I am stuck using the Tab key to navigate dev-archive.

Only one more week to get in an article to be considered in the September to October 14th group. We will again give 3 people $200, so now is your chance to submit an article to have a chance!<br/>Brad!

It gets a bit silly when you can't subscribe to a thread because an animated advert is using nearly 100% of the CPU time.<br/>I had to re-start my browser just to post this thread.<br/>:(

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: SOMEONE HACKED THE WEBSITE. My friend is trying to regsiter and he can't because when he clicks the "Register / Submit Info" button instead of registering him it takes him to another website :eek: :eek: . http://shop.internet.com/index.php?IC_ic=1...

any one know how to put code tags in?<br/>code:<br/>[<br/>test<br/>]

Xeon posted on this thread: http://www.dev-archive.com/forum/showthread.php?t=433718And his message has been removed by PeejAvery.I had very much like to know who is that clown who deleted my post away??!!!That was a very informative and interesting web-hosting post which took me 25 mins to type and...

I had tried searching the discussion forums for application_exit,<br/>which gave me a bunch of posts that didn't include that<br/>word. I'm guessing that the _ character goofed up the search. Is it<br/>possible to search for a word with an underscore in it?

Is it just me or does everyone have trouble with formatting code within code tags? I generally don't paste the code in, highlight it and press the 'Code' button because it removes the color coding. I usually paste it in and then manually add the code tags. I generally remove any tabs...

How does a poll get 212.5% of votes? Does it have something to do with it being a multiple choice poll?

MSDN magazine has this cool feature where , the images , if too big are shown compacted by default. However, when you click on the image for larger view, the image is shown larger in place rather than in a seperate popup. I was thinking, this is probably a useful feature to have if it is simple to d...

The finalists for best articles in August are listed in the poll on this message. Three of these will have the chance to get $200.

I'm trying to submit an article. The submission page where you enter your text instructs you to use basic HTML. I'm using <p> and <b> and </b> in the text, but the preview shows it all the same font in one huge paragraph.What's the deal with that?...

The date format of the forums seems to be in "North American" format (mm/dd/yyyy) - how do I change to international format (dd/mm/yyyy). Even better would be able to display the name of the month.<br/>Thanks<br/>Mark

Maybe a very far thought from people's minds, but what about vBulletin Skins? We could have a couple of different ones from which to choose. That would help some people to think of CG having a new face.

A registered user find some articles excellent, he want to save the links to those articles, so when he login next time, he can easy find those articles,<br/>does dev-archive support this function?

Two little suggestions, which would make my life a bit easier:1. I like using [TT] tag to place inline pieces of code, too small to be placed inside of code tags, like variable names, function names, etc. However, contents of this tag are sometimes replacecd by smileys: std::string::operator som...

An ehancement probably : can we have a forum wise post count on the user profile page?Would be helpful to search for people's posts in any specific forum. We can do that with the advanced search as well but just that if it is possible to search from why not have it in the profile. Would seem mo...

Now a days thousends of developers are working with microsoft sharepoint.And there are thousends of issues regarding it.So i feel, that dev-archive should introduce a section for Microsoft sharepoint in the discussions section.It will be really helpful for developers,because most people are new to s...

Hi friends. :)Not to rant against adverts, but I see little point in including them in the print view of an article.You can't click on paper!Plus, they obstruct the article text a little.I often print developer articles at work and it would be nice if the adverts could be removed for this view....

About that new members "forget" about using code tags. I think that changing the settings so 'Standard Editor' is default instead of 'Basic Editor' should improve the situation. Maybe I'm to optimistic but getting some toolbar buttons as a newbie at least reveal that there a...

Looks like there is a new menu on top of the forum. What's the story of it?<br/>However, it has some problems. On IE 7.0 under Vista, it looks like this (menu behind the flash ad):

More people are developing on WinCE platform, however, there is no specific forum for it.<br/>Maybe it's time to have an independent WinCE forum, and those topics can be seprate from VC forum.

Hello all,<br/>Is there any way to buy dev-archive goodies like a mug, a t-shirt or other things.<br/>Cheers,

It's been over a year since anyone posted in the "Slow Chat" forum, which was a good idea back when the new IDE was being introduced, but has now served its purpose.If you don't want to get rid of it, al least move it down considerably in the forum hierarchy, so that the (primary) VC++ for...

I have a few books I want to remove from my "extras book shelf". Rather than taking them to the local user group I run, I thought I'd make an offer here....I have 3 copies of the dev-archive Goodies book. This book is dated, but it would simply look cool on your shelf :).I also a copy of Teach...

What would you suggest we (dev-archive/Jupitermedia) should do to get you (or others) to submit [good] articles to the site on a more regular basis? What needs to change? What should we do?

I didn't know if you guys were aware of this or not, but if you go to the Book List page, the Go button that applies the filters gets covered by ad links.

I commented on the iPhone in my editorial today. Nearly every other newsletter and news source has mentioned it, so I simply had to make a comment or two as well. :cool: If you read the editorial, did you agree with my comments? Do you agree with Apple's position? Brad!Side comment: One thing...

I should be able to change my vote, on a thread, if I want. Don't understand the logic of disallowing this.

My virus scanner (NOD32) just warned me of a trojan trying to get in while surfing dev-archive. dev-archive was the only website open at the time and as soon as I tried to surf onto a new page on dev-archive, the warning popped-up. So I'm certain it was from an ad on dev-archive. I only took a...
