Just wondering: What's the deeper sense behind the 2000 character limit in private messages? That can be pretty limiting - especially when discussing complicated technical matters via PM, with lots of smilies - err, source code, of course. ;)So - are there any technical / economical / political...

is pretty ugly...could something be done about it?

Here's another one. "Click Here to Expand Forum to Full Width" resulted this.

When I do a Find all post by mani2ket25 ( http://www.dev-archive.com/forum/search.php?do=finduser&userid=212329) I get one post; "manipulating memory of a pointer ( http://www.dev-archive.com/forum/showthread.php?t=388119)" which has 0 replies. But, as far as I can see SuperKoko has made a reply to th...

What's with the 'Sample Chapter' at the bottom of each of the panels at the bottom of the dev-archive index page? <br/>Something left over from debugging?

Here's an idea which is similar to the code challenge at VBF but altered.There will be a judge for each language, I'd be happy to do it for Visual basic 6 just as a test run to see if it worked ok. Once ever 2 month the judge will set a challenge, when there are enough entries they will be...

Is there anybody else here who uses Zone Alarm Pro and who's finding that it interferes with their usage of dev-archive?On & off, this has been happening to me for several months. Whenever I come to dev-archive (or even if I just click on a link to take me into a thread) I have to press 'R...

My athlon 1400 is struggling to animate all those geared people and flying clocks in the ads. It's almost all computing time going there, text I'm typing right now is displayed on screen with about one second delay. Just thinking maybe it's not a Good Thing... Sure I can find a tool t...

Mr. Jones, and Mr. LibertyI recently located this website via a text I have been skimming through. Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days, Fifth Edition. This book was very well written! I started skimming this book about a week ago and became very interested. The chapter on OO Analysis and Design was excell...

I am just wondering if we could add a Flash forum to the Other Programming category. People tend to post those questions in Client-Side Scripting but Flash isn't a scripting language.

Hello All,For some reason I cant download any attachments.I have found in different post some attachments that seem to be useful, but I cant download any of them.In the past I was able to do this, but recently I havent been able too.Anyone know why this would be?Thanks...

Hi Friends ! There is a new Promotion on top of this forum and iit drives me crazy. As my provider isn't the best the connection to the forum is most times slow since the last three month. But now this intel thing permanently comes down from top of the window and I need to close it every time w...

I am seeing this quite frequently today. For example, if I launch my user CP and just let it stay idle, after a few seconds, I see the intel ad attached show up full screen in the browser.

This is realy annoying add. When is loading my cpu ussege is at 100% and if I click to "Click Here to Expand Forum to Full Width" link then apears like this (picture attachment) . Then I have to refresh the page again and after a few clicks it comes back again. :( :( .

Hello everyone. <br/>I replied to a thread ( http://www.dev-archive.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1417034), my post number was 1006<br/>Somebody else replied after me and the number was 1016<br/>Where are the other posts

Hi, it's me again!:p<br/>Is it just my imagination, or has the Reputation section changed (in the User CP) not to show raters anymore

I wrote a quite lengthy tutorial on how to create, link to, and use a Dynamic Link Library to store all your applications variables in. <snip>EDIT: I accidently deleted the "Step Two" of the tutorial on how to implement the dll into your applications. I will write it again and post it by th...

On the main site of dev-archive.com, I cannot for the life of me find a link to the forums. I found this originally via a link from someone else--where can I find the link to our forums?<br/>M.

Seems like clicking the RATE POST link above a members name no longer casts a vote. Just refreshes the page. Noticed it first last night.

Hello,With all respect,Just to tell you that this forum is wonderful, but since there is the flash advertise at the right part of the screen, I have to wait around 15 seconds to get each page (my connection is 300Kbits/s). I can not get faster connection (no dsl available).Please do something for s...

Hi,This would have had been a very handy feature to have. When replying in a thread - there should be an option of saving the reply as draft. This would be really helpful. I just wrote a post and I pressed Cntrl H instead of Shift H. And then something happened on the keypad that caused another link...

Brad, Others,Would it be possible to set a cookie on the users machine to allow us to view all forums in full width without having to click on the "Click Here to Expand Forum to Full Width", This would save time by not having to repaint the screen twice and maybe less bandwidth.Any thoughts...anybod...

I normally browse with cookies set to "prompt", so I it's very clear when cookies are and are not being set.Today I noticed that dev-archive is apparently setting cookies that it never set before. In particular, when quick-replying to a thread, if I scroll or move focus to another window, dev-...

Hello everyone! I'm visiting CG on my phone, I love this place that much. I have noticed that my replies to posts get added before the last post in the thread. What can the cause be, caching

I think that having 'Go to top' link in thread view would be nice idea. Sometimes when viewing a thread and being at bottom of a page I would like to go to top menu (the one with 'User CP', 'Thread tools' and 'Search', you know), and scrolling ~20 posts up is...

I added a new vBulletin tag that you can use. It is the TT tag for monospaced text:<br/>I can now put words in monospace like this!<br/>Brad!

I need some explanations about what it means to be a member here ( What are the responsabilities and what do you gain). I'm new and I want detailes.

Just like *.cpp, *.c, *.txt, *.jpg, etc. What about *.java? It will make it easier for those that are doing java development work to simply upload their files so that others can download them in one click. How about it Brad?

Hi fellas.I don't know if this is the right plce to ask this but...Because of a "sloppy fingers" problem (checked "preserve only the last X mails" instead of "preserve up to X kilobytes of mail"), I lost all of my e-mails of Thread Update notifications (weekly update, etc...) for the Jan2005-Ju...

I thought I would post a little list I have been working on for help with C++ and MFC issues. Of course, this forum is at the top:<br/> http://www.gelsana.com/MFC%20FORUM.htm

I was recently rated and when I go to look at what post that was, I get the following error. Has this post been deleted?<br/>The link is to http://www.dev-archive.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1443131#post1443131

Is there anyway that we can add a field to the New Thread form that would provide a space to specify the development environment (versions) that the thread poster is using?Especially in the .NET world, we are faced with some significant differences between widely adopted final bits, beta versions, e...

Take a look at attached image, I have seen it couple of times not sure if this is thrown by dev-archive pages.

Brad,<br/>Is it possible to get the [code] tags to be san-serif fonts and TT? Serif fonts are somewhat eye bothering if you have a larger screen resolution. If you can, thanks, if you can't thanks still!

Hi, How do i improve my score in reputations? I have asked questions over the years. I have also answered some, Or at least offered my suggestion on some occation. I have also answered some of my own ?'s to threads I've posted. So, what do it take to have it to increase? By now shouldn�...

Whenever I visit the "Who's Online" page, it loads the page and everything is fine. After a while even if I have not pressed anything the page re-loads. This has happened everytime I have visited the page.Though not much of a thing, but just wanted Brad to know about this.I use both IE and Fire...

Today I have been facing frequent hangs in the CG IE windows.. Is anyone else experiencing the same? I usually open all threads in a forum and then browse them but it is even happening when I have 2 or 3 open.. There is nothing specific about the pages that freeze. Rest of the browsing is fine.I use...

Dear Brad,<br/>1. Can we post reviews of any books that we have read recently? <br/>OR<br/>2. The book needs to be one from the list you provided?<br/>Though I believe you mean No. 1 but just to make sure I am asking this.

Enough, guys...we already had several long and controversial discussions about those annoying and dilettantly badly done IBM flash ads which rendered our browsers totally unresponsive, and even made our CPU fans spin fast due to the waste of CPU cycles those ads provoked...I hope that it didn't...

I noticed that when trying to view all posts by a user, if that user has 2000+ posts, it only shows the 2000 most recent.<br/>Is there a way to see all my posts without having to go searching for text within them that I can't remember?

There is a bug in the main form. When I hover mouse on any user's name like attached, the URL ( as shown in the status bar ) is wrong. Result is that clicking takes to the wrong profile.

This is causing some problems as it is hiding some of the buttons on the CG forums.. Attached is the image showing this.

Hello guys! :wave: Earlier this morning I replied to a thread ( http://www.dev-archive.com/forum/showthread.php?t=399316). In the thread I included sample code, the problem is that the post editor removed spacing between the words in the Code tags. So where there were 2 words, it ended up being 1, an...

We either need to be able to:1. Disable smilies for quick-reply (visible checkbox).2. Have such as the default action3. Use smily notation that isn't likely to come up as code, eg not a colon followed by a lower-case letter (unlikely option).4. User option to disable them by default (i.e. they...

This issue has been raised before, and I was wondering if any progress has been made.The "New Posts" link sometimes stumbles and returns no hits, especially in situations where I have multiple browser windows open (it seems to "reset" the date from which posts are considered "new").See: http://www.de...
