Can a bad, or terrible rating be removed from a thread?I'm pretty sure this is the same person or group or persons, that has a problem with me. I believe they are not rating the posts properly, but wait until I post a sample, or prelude to a sample that is going to be in my signature.These sam...

For the second time in a few days(4-5), my browser has crashed when doing a final preview of a post. Both were long periods of creation, ie 6-10 minutes.The problem I have is that I always copy my post, in case of a failure.But now its taking my systems clipboard contents too!!! I have the interne...

CG is causing Fx (2.0) to crash (for me at least).I've seen the Intel cheetah ad, but I've yet to successfully see the Dell one (with the expanding on mouseover stuff) in Fx - I'm currently browsing in IE to see which ad it might be, and that seems the best bet.Anyway, just thought I&...

I have observed it several times that CodeProject.com's article links are found in google search more often than dev-archive's, I see that dev-archive and codeproject have almost same articles (in fact most authors post at both locations) but dev-archive links are not found most of the tim...

We don't do this often. But, I just felt that I should say this. For once, I want to highlight only :thumb: things in this thread, and there are many. CG forums, IMO, are one of the top tech forums and the most visited. These are few of the many things I like about the forums here: Very profess...

I have a copy of Professional ASP.NET 2.0 Databases by Thiru Thangarathinam that is available for someone to review. I'll send you the book. In exchange, you write a review on what is good or bad about the book so others know whether it is a book worth buying. The review will go onto dev-archi...

I frequently use Who's Online to see which members are online, and what they're doing.<br/>This morning, I noticed a small glitch :eek: Where my name appeared after the last member, instead of alphabetically.<br/>Just thought I'd bring it to your attention :)

Go to someone's profile and look at their post count. Now go to all posts by that user, is the number of results the same? I found it was higher, strange.

Is the "Send a message via email feature" off by default for a new user ?Reason being, when I sometimes try to contact some users, I get this messageSorry! That user has specified that they do not wish to receive emails. If you still wish to send an email to this user, please contact the administrat...

I posted a thread and when saving the post the page did not load. Upon refresh it said that I was duplicating a post. Now, even though I am the last poster, it shows haseloff as the last poster.

I have a copy of Beginning Expression Web by Zak Ruvalcabathat is available for someone to review. I'll send you the book. In exchange, you write a review on what is good or bad about the book so others know whether it is a book worth buying. The review will go onto dev-archive. In exchange for...

We've added a couple of new site sections on the main dev-archive site. These include sections for Vista development, .NET 3.0 (within VB), .NET 3.0 (within C#/.NET), and a new security section within the C++ category. If you are submitting an article to dev-archive, you can now select these ca...

The forum keeps wanting me to install the active x control, Adobe flash player. It pops up at the top of the XP SP2 browser, under the URL.Its taking me waaaaayyyy to long to view some pages, when this happens though. With a slower connection speed, this extra Advertisment usually cost me 20-70 s...

You spelled harass wrong.<br/>You will not behave in an abusive and/or hateful manner, and will not harrass, threaten, nor attack anyone.

Hello everyone! I'm wondering if there's the possibility to pay for a membership to dev-archive... maybe it has benefits over free accounts? More options, a more customisable user CP, etc? Does such a thing exist? If so, can someone give me a link? If not, it's a suggestion! :) I coul...

Just a questions. What CG down for 3 hours today for others than just me? I tried to access it from a little after 1:00pm until this post. I kept getting the general database error with e-mail the technicians.<br/>Did anyone else have this problem? Why was CG down?

Hi,I'm new to dev-archive and if this is a frequently asked question, sorry for that.Why is the printable page of an article so ugly and useless? If I want to create a print version of an article I have to click those button on the bottom, but the result is far from printable. All ads are inclu...

I just noticed one member who had his reputation disabled. I figured it out when I rolled my mouse over his 'reputation' box-thingee and it said "So-and-so has disabled his reputations." How can I do this? If it's possible.

Hello dev-archive staff,We all here are learners, and we require respect too.I am sorry, but your article system has no control over the comments posted by visitors. You must have atleast an option for the author either to allow comments or not, or may be you yourself check the comments posted. Becu...

MVPs on CG displaying the Logo in their signature are causing me to see much less content on my modestly-sized screen than otherwise (the logo tells nothing more than what their signature / profile-text already does).One reason why I didn't like the advertisements is the amount of screen-space...

Hi Brad,My internet connection band with is very limited. At the maximum the download rate becomes 7kbps.While I was viewing the two minute video titled "Generating and Analyzing Crash Dumps" I see the message "buffering media please wait...".

What is up with the FAQ forum? There is no way that I can edit it and that's why I sent a message as a reply to the initial entry but that reply itself got posted and is visible and the problems remain. I am referring to this one - http://www.dev-archive.com/forum/showthread.php?t=401691

Why am I being pestered by this dumb marketing survey popup every time I use dev-archive? I've already filled it with junk responses several times, but it just keeps popping up - every few minutes. Why are they wasting their and my time on this pointless exercise? How much junk do they want?...

How about this thread ( http://www.dev-archive.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1566040) guys? I need some inputs from you regarding this.

Is there a convenient list of smilies and how to create them here?

Is there any way to search the forum without an ID? Is this a vBulletin issue or a possible change that can be made?For example, when I do a search and want to post the URL in a thread to help someone out it appears as...http://www.dev-archive.com/forum/search.php?searchid=1971615Now, th...

Anyone taken a look at dev-archive guestbook ? Is it really needed ? There is too much spam , unprofessional stuff in there than nice words. <br/>I would rather see it removed, or moderated in some way if removal is not possible.

In IE7, "alt-C" brings up 'Favorites', but the dev-archive forums software must intercept this key combination (most other forums don't), since it doesn't work from these forums.<br/>Obviously not critical, but it's a bit annoying.

I can't seem to figure out what I am doing wrong when I try to set my preference to use the Linear display mode. It's always selected in my user CP but whenever I visit the forum it displays Hybrid mode (yes, I am always logged in when I visit). Even if I open a thread and then click on...

I can't remember whether this has been discussed or not, but...<br/>How come when I type Java_Script: without the space and submit the post, it reads "javascript:?" I have to use HTML ASCII characters to make the upper case J.<br/>EDIT: Added the colon.

I can't get the search to work. After I click the form submit button, it sits and loads forever. Is anyone else having problems with this?

Please help...I would like to attach a file to this post so that I can ask questions based on the attached file. How do I go about attaching a file in dev-archive??

Please remember that not all members of dev-archive have been around for years and that some are still learning the forum software. As such, please be polite when responding to questions that might focus more on how to use the forum rather than on just technical topics. If a newbie posts something a...

Sorry, but I can't seem to find it anywhere on site.<br/>Mike :confused:

The amch.questionmarket annoying popup is back. It appears regularly when I click dev-archive links. <br/>I am using IE version 6.0

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...

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

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 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.

Hello,<br/>i have a new account on dev-archive, and now i have two, how to delete my old one?<br/>regards<br/>Mirsi

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 have some ideas, plus the moderators and article reviewers have made some great suggestions; however, we wan...

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...

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...

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

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.

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):

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...
