Do you think that there is a way we could turn the CG Photo Album into an actual photo album gallery? There is plenty of SourceForge PHP stuff that we could use for free.

Dear all,<br/>Is it possible to start a new forum about real-time OS programming and embedded system programming here?<br/>Thank you

The ability for members to do a negative reputation has been removed from the system due to abuse. At this point if you feel something warrants a negative rep, you can contact a moderator with the issue. They still have the ability to rep someone negatively if needed.<br/>Brad!

This is just something I wished to know.Can a user disable his reputations? How is that possible? I don't see any options for doing that.Also, why is it possible? Don't take it otherwise, it is just I am trying to deduce something out of the answers that I would get for these queries. Rega...

Brad,<br/>Can you add "Search Google first" to the "Before you post" announcement? There have been a lot of posts lately that I have replied to that the user could have solved if just using Google.

do we have thread tool that enable us to view the whole thread if the thread is more than one page? If not, can I suggest that we'll make a tool for it? This helps us to view the whole thread continuously and maybe save it on our disk. Thanks, moore power!

Why were they removed? :confused: <br/>I think Negative Posts were usefull and can be usefull again. But to be "nice" to the posters it might be a good idea to disable the Rep Points penalty from them. In other words have the Negative Rep as a fast, targeted "scolding" message for the poster.

The dev-archive navigation bar popup menus do not work. ( The Visual C++/C++ , .Net/C# , Visual Basic )<br/>This is on IE7.0 Beta 3<br/>Works ok on Firefox though

Can the reps be forum specific? Like say, one may be having good reputations in Networking but not good in Databases. But when they will post in databases forum, that may send the wrong signals. Considering CG consists of such wide spectrum of technologies, it should be good to have something like...

What's going on? Firefox has crashed at least 6 times today, and I have only refreshed about 50 pages! There must be a new ad. Seemed to start yesterday, but I didn't report it, as it crashed only a few times.

Is this website only designed for the MS related programming?

Suggestion to improve ease of making better posts:The forum does not maintain focus via Alt+Tab. This impedes efforts of making a 'proper' post. For example, I like to include convenient links, and will do so if it is easy, but if I Alt+Tab away to grab a link, and lose my focus when I c...

I had a few questions...1. What if I wanted a FAQ submitted but not yet added to be considered as an article? (if required I can make a few more enhancements)2. What topics can be covered in articles? I mean, I ask this because it may be possible that there is already an article posted by someone......

It would be intuitive if focus was given to the input field after clicking 'Search'.

Has anyone else noticed that CG seems to be running better in FireFox than IE (6 or 7) lately ?<br/>IE(6 or 7) is doing strange things like not working when clicking on items like the "Rate this post" or "Expand forum to full width".

Hello,Just to tell you that, with my P4 - 3GHz - 1Gb ram - XP pack 2, using Firefox, the advertise at the right part of the screen takes 40 to 50 % of my processor time.Is it normal ?Is there any (legal) solution to remove this advertise ?I am ready to pay something in order to be able to work in be...

Thanks everyone for the feedback on CPU usage. I'll be talking with people today about this reoccuring issue.<br/>Brad

Hi,<br/>I've set Display Name to First & Last Name (in profile) yet it doesn't work.<br/>Is this a bug ?<br/>Thanks

I ran into an issue when responding to an email message. The problem is that the sender name has a "@" in it, which trips up the server I happen to use. It does mean two ampersands in the recipient's address, so it's understandable to me why it won't go through that way. I'm gues...

See this:<br/> http://www.dev-archive.com/forum/showthread.php?t=84107<br/>Interestingly, a Guest was able to create a new thread. Another interesting thing is that, in the forums view, the UI doesn't show a name associated with the thread

Hello,<br/>How can I change my username ? If I can't, can I ask an admin to rename it ?<br/>Thanks

The thread view count is off. In the attached image, the top is from my user control panel. The bottom is from the actual forum group. Here ( http://www.dev-archive.com/forum/showthread.php?t=405247) is the thread link.

It would be very convenient if someone could provide a new toolbar item named MyThread. After logging in, MyThread would list all treads started and contributed to by the username. It's the same as doing a search for threads by username, but having the code insert your log-on username.This is a...

Has there been a programming change to CG? It seems that everytime I post a quote since yesterday, there is triple line spacing below it.<br/>Take a look.<br/>Testing...<br/>How far down is this?<br/>EDIT: You can start typing right after the [/quote] but that is annoying.

vBulletin 3.0.16?! What the **** is this?!<br/>It would take me 10 minutes, max.

Where are the badges? I don't think the small images in the faq are the actual badges offered by dev-archive or am I wrong? I couldn't find a link on the entire site...

So, I know that I am going to wrap my signature but shouldn't something be done about the long line return?

Why don't you make interviews with CG members.superkoko, exterminator,wildfrog,cilu, graham, ovidiucucu etc...Who are they?What jobs did they work?Intersting things that they experimented?What do they except programming.Maybe politics, religious questions..I think this will be very interesting....

Fx has crashed twice yesterday, and three more times within the last HOUR!. Started to see a mdn url at one point, but something is wrong!!!

Hello All I'm using both FF2 and IE7 in WinXP , after opening around 10 or 12 tabs of dev-archive , the browser (both) hangs , and after some time it recover :confused: . it is noticed that FF recovers faster than IE . it is noticed only while opening dev-archive :ehh: . Anyone has the same...

Maybe its just cosmetic issue for most of you, but I find it quite annoying. At image below, red line indicates thread author, which should be a hyperlink to author's profile. While it is indeed a hyperlink, it is not href'ed to any particular page, but it is bound to onClick JavaSrcipt ev...

The ones on the right which take up half the screen are very annoying. I know each one has a link to hide it, but is there a way to make them not be there at all?

It seems that CG creates cookies that are larger than CG accepts:400 Bad RequestYour browser sent a request that this server could not understand.Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.Cookie: JPnyc_postCookie= [8 168 bytes of data here]So, now the question is: How do I delete this part...

I've eventually got someone to write a decent bio blurb for my profile, and updated it... The update shows on theMember Profile ( http://www.dev-archive.com/member.php/280455/) but on the articles it still shows the old :sick: blurb.. How does the artice Bio Blurb get updated ? Richard...

At least 4 months out of the year, dev-archive (especially the C++ forums) is inundated with homework questions. Recently, I would say that a great percentage of questions have been homework related questions in the C++ forums.What I propose is a Homework forum. The reason is two-fold:1) We will...

It looks like posts are purged. I was trying to find an old post with no luck...<br/>Are there any archives?

Just a cosmetic thing... can the hover text show the title of thread? I have attached the reference image.. instead of thread id (which is not meaningful enough).<br/>Thanks for noticing.

Brad,I'm reviving a point made around a year ago by gstercken at http://www.dev-archive.com/forum/showthread.php?t=360500I too find it annoying that I can't rate excellent posts until I "spread some reputation around". Too often in the current system, in order to rate some truly deserving...

I've recently loaded a network monitor onto our ASDL Lan - net connection.. (Blackice Defender) and justnow it temporarly blocked CG for a suspicious attack "HTTP_Netscape_List_Directories ( http://www.iss.net/security_center/reference/2000649.html)"... this request came from ip 63.236.73.79.

When you search for anything, you will see the page listing bar. Is there a way that we could turn > into Next >. Since > is takes up so much room, I find myself accidentally clicking Last >> instead. It is semi-frustrating.

I am from Denmark, Europe. Like most Europeans, we use another date format than the US. I am usually able to mentally parse the amusing US date format, since the "/" seperator tells me that day and month are switched.So "xx/xx/xxxx" will tell me that the date is in US format, mm/dd/yyyy.And "xx.xx.x...

Just wondering...why three bright green and two bright green with the same caption?

Hi guys!I've visited CG twice today, and every time I had to log in again.I tried to posts this thread, but then it gave me a message that I'm not logged in :confused:I haven't changed any of my IE 6 settings.Does any one else have this issue EDIT: Glad to see this message has been p...

Some new ad for IBM located at ds-ll.serving-sys, started causing a lot of network traffic. The ad constantly refreshed itself and caused my <textarea> to almost not let me type.

Could someone please enable modern tags for the forum code? For example, enable "strong" as well as "b", and "em" as well as "i".

How do you unresolve a thread?

The navigation bars on the front page do not adjust to the browser's (IE's) client area. That means longer menus or child menus get clipped. I don't often run into this, but when I do, I find it incredibly annoying. I also wonder how many newcomers get turned off immediately if the...

What is the reason the images in the article are shrunk ?Are they shrunk by default for all sizes ? or is there a size beyond which the images are shrunk ?Reason being, it is very annoying for some one to have to click on Full Image to really look at the image and it breaks the continuity while read...

Could we please start a section for Eiffel programming? I am using it and I find it very difficult to find help for it<br/>thanks

What does dev-archive do to expand the community?At the moment, if I go to Server-sided scripting (which is no niche area), there's basically 4 people holding the fort: Ipsens, Pjavery, Bubu and myself. If it gets any smaller I feel like people might just go elsewhere, as it's just not var...
