Hey guys!I wonder if anyone can help me out, again :blush:My PC has Windows 98 and Windows XP Proffessional loaded. The problem is:When I go to my User CP, and click Edit Options.I select :Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing as my "editor type"Result:On XPI can use the Enhanced Interface, but...

We've fallen behind in helping each other with book reviews ( http://extra.dev-archive.com/default.asp) . As such, we need to get a few more posted! If you've read a computer book recently, then take a few minutes to share with your fellow code gurus your thoughts on that book. We've...

One thing I have noticed since we updated the forum software is that the control panel refreshes itself after a certain amount of time. Is this the update or just my imagination? Also, at what interval is this refresh?

Is there something that can be done about those recent red and blue NetBeans 5.0 square advertisments? These things are extremely CPU intensive. They use 100% of my CPU. I know it's not a recent CPU (Atlhon thunderbird 1GHz), but nevertheless, advertisments should not consume that much CPU even...

Hi, I've been having some serious issues with dev-archive lately. I'm running Mozilla Firefox 1.5, and for some reason those flash ads keep on crashing my browser leaving me with an illegal operation message. Flash runs fine elsewere. Really hope it gets looked into. This site is a great r...

Does the advance search for forums/threads not search for the text between the [CODE] tags? I tried searching for some of them and it returns no results. I am wondering if the search is not working or if I am putting a non-matching text. Is it case-sensitive? Regards.

If you look at my profile, it says I have posted 1,625 times. Yet...if you select Find all posts by peejavery ( http://www.dev-archive.com/forum/search.php?searchid=1367111), you will get 1656 results. Why is this?

I was getting this error very frequently on CG today. Hope it's not a serious one.

Is it possible to have additional rating system on CG of a user? Perhaps a point system for Masochistic behavior of a member and Sadistic behavior? We would all know where the other members stand. ;) :D <br/>ahoodin

The forums have been glitching a lot on me lately. This started happening right about the time of the forum software upgrade.

Is it at all posible to disable the Sned Via Email, and Send PM, for first time posters... IE: Junior members cannot use the PM and Email fetures in other members Profiles.. until Member status is given (24 Postings)The fact is that by default new members cannot recieve PM's or emails via the...

Is it possible to see somewhere my rep points given to others?Since sometimes I have to "spread out" points and/or I'm limited to some points by day,so that would be nice to see somewhere that info (the same way I see points received). Otherwise I'm forced to overload my memory by remember...

In this past week I've noticed a few "offenders", biting the hands that feed them in a sense.<br/>I just want to:<br/>firstly complain about them<br/>and secondly<br/>know what can be done to them.

I have seen an increase in users posting code and asking for ratings because they believe their code is good. To me this seems like an attempt to show off rather than help or seek help. This is not the purpose of dev-archive.Do you, Brad or Andreas, this it would be a good idea to have a forum for u...

Why do i get notifications for replying myself. I mean your automated system informs me on my e-mail address that someone has replayed to a subscribed post. But that someone was me, myself and I.Because of that i will not be notified if someone else post reply in subscribed thread untill i check my...

Since the last three days. I kept getting this " Network Error (tcp_error)A communication error occurred: "Operation timed out"The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time.For assistance, con...

I figured this out recently because i have started using the subscribed thread feature a few week earlier from now. When you click to reply directly on a subscribed thread (list shown in usercp) .. the message does not contain the title of the thread.. and the message that gets posted misses that in...

Maybe put it up there on the VB toolbar or something. I had to dig to find a Register link.<br/>Just a suggestion.

I joined code guru on 2003. It's been 3 years but still a "Member". I think what I would not do to become an "Elite Member". As I understand this status is set according to the number of posts posted. I use a Dial-up modem (i.e. through a telephone) and internet connection is still expensive th...

I tried to mark this thread ( http://www.dev-archive.com/forum/showthread.php?t=375796) as resolved. Apparently it did not work as it still looks the same :confused:

For the Last 1/2 hour i've been getting alot of these errors.. Yet other sites are online... My wife has had no problem with her sites, so i'm guessing that Something is going on with one or more of the CG servers...<br/>Anyone else having this ?<br/>Richard

I get disconected every 3 minutes. Any reason as to why? I get the same behavior from work and home. I can't post, edit, I have to try 3-4 times before something gets posted.

Slightly off-topic I know, but I can't help but question the motives behind some of the questions that get asked here. A couple of current threads such as how to load another program before the operating system, how to assume control of all system message boxes, how to format hard drives progr...

when i try to upload my photo in i receive this error:<br/>Application error (Rails)<br/>i have no idea, how website is implemented, <br/>but i see it is a common problem..<br/>any idea of fixing it..<br/>any suggestion appreciated.::P

Is it just me or others are two having the problem. When I open a thread it doesn't show me all the posts. In the Forums this thread has 12 posts in it, but when I open the thread, it just shows me 9 :( And even in some cases it just shows me last few posts and not the first ones....

I was looking for some user option to change the way tabs are expanded in the code posts. Looks like vbcode uses 8 spaces per tab, which is a LOT.<br/>Can I set it to 4 in my "User CP"?

It's common sense to do a search of an issue before posting a question to a forum, and that's suggested in the "Before you post" section. But I have a suggestion; It would be great if your system automatically did a parsing/evaluation of a person's post right at the point where they s...

I find that I am often frustrated when reading through the documentation for software of the SDK, MFC, etc. Ages ago (back in the C days) each and every function/method description would include perfectly fine examples on how to use them. Yet even that sometimes left me needing more, or with the fee...

It all started with pagead2.googlesyndication.com trying to load, but hanging up the browser. Messed with it for 20 minutes, before I opened IE, and logged on to post this message.It could have had something to do with my JAVA settings being erased, but I'm not sure. It just started.Any one e...

Any interest in opening up a networking related forum? Since this is primarily a Windows shop, it could be simply a Windows Networking forum under Windows Central.

Hello!Whenever I try to scroll up up or down using the scrollbox, in the post editor, OPERA wants to move the box to another location - instead of scroll.If I have typed a long post, it's easier to use the Scrollbox to view the post, instead of using the Up / down scroll buttons.Is this a stand...

I was under the impression that public profile could be seen by anyone. Now it seems it could be seen only if one is logged into CG. If it has been changed to latter, why is it?

Can someone have 0 posts and yet 10+ reputation? :ehh: <br/>E.g.: At this ( http://www.dev-archive.com/forum/showthread.php?t=302125) thread, user shrdlu.

Hello! :wave: I noticed that there is an issue displaying apostrophes(') correctly.Attached picture appeared in the Visual Basic 6 forumHave a look at New York - isn't it supposed to be New York's, but instead of showing the apostrophe, it just shows a small block.I've noticed it...

I think that there are too many adverts in code guru. Even in the main window where you display the forums 40-50% of the right side is taken up by adverts pushing the text into a small area on the left. I know this place has to make some money to keep going, but its basically been turned into a busi...

Hi everyone. I was wondering if there are people interested in dev-archive for a sub-forum for matlab (maybe in the Algorithms forum). I use Matlab more than anything else and I use Mathwork's newsgroup as a forum. This forum is really good, since lots of people reply but ... well it's not...

I was just wondering, what is the process for updating my article?I last updated it a year ago, and need to desperately touch-up the article, and upload new source, because contrary to the mini-forum on the article, I am getting tons of downloads and correspondence.Where do I start?...

I hit a page or two where the top ads and logo were out of alignment. I'm using Mozilla.<br/>Here's a shot of one:

:eek: Can't get through to CG from home. I keep getting this." Network Error (tcp_error)A communication error occurred: "Operation timed out"The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time....

hi,<br/> Replies to my thread "why this output " in Visual C++ programming forum are not visible although the list shows the replies being made.However, on the thread being click opened there are 2-3 replies not displayed

I just posted, and noticed that the time was an hour earlier. I checked my options and profile, and it says to detect DST with the right timezone.<br/>Something gone wrong?

When did we switch to this new AD system of posting an add at the top of the threads?<br/>I love it. There is no longer a huge border at the top of each page.

I am just wondering...will dev-archive ever have full Safari support. Every so often my browser will not load one of the posts of a thread. That can get easily confusing if I am trying to follow a conversation.<br/>By the way, are there even many Mac users here at dev-archive?

I use Firefox (and I keep it up-to-date) for 99% of my surfing. The only site that I have found so far that causes it to crash are these forums. I may pop in to these forums (not bother logging in) throughout the day to browse the threads and see what is going on. Sometimes I can visit a few of the...

I can't log in till you are online ? Why ?

edit: nevermind.<br/>they werent showing up a minute ago.<br/>delete as you wish :D

Funny... I've just seen a thread with 6 replies and 0 views. Is that normal? :D

Maybe I missed it but I don't believe we have an RSS feed for our subscribed threads that have been recently edited.<br/>It would be nice to see my control panel from a RSS widget instead of Safari.
