Maybe it has something to do with Helvetica.Quote:

Our high today is 86 with a 40% chance of thunderstorms, but our humidity is 82%.
Our high was supposed to be about 100 yesterday, but some cloud cover came in and dropped the temperature. Some places even got rain, but the clouds were pretty well wrung out by the time they crossed the valley. I could see the rain falling, it just never reached the ground in this area. Still, that probably cooled it down.
Highs today should be around 100, again, but totally dry. Morning humidity is 33%. That'll probably drop a good long ways as it heats up.
Post race can't be falling so low.
Neither can the stock market.
I am redesigning my tutorial website.
It looks awesome.
I'm using twitter-bootstrap as the framework.
And all the lessons will be on one page, but displayed using JQuery.
That's the web for you: Pages are continually being redesigned, and with different underlying technology.
I love jQuery! And I love JavaScript!Quote:

I was going to have them be displayed using JQuery, but because I used several <iframes> of coding fiddles, it took too long to load the web page. Ultimately I decided to go the traditional route of having each lesson on its own page.
Basically, I had a bunch of <div>'s that contained the ID of the lesson. When the user clicked on the lesson's hyperlink, it would hide the visible <div> and show the desired <div>Quote:

Have you ever considered using an Ajax call to get extra HTML you might need "after" the page loads? I do this in my web app...
No, the new website isn't live yet. I'm waiting on fixing my "previous" and "next" JQuery issue. I've considered Ajax, but to be honest, I think the traditional method will make me more money. I plan on monetizing the website by placing an ad on the right-side of the web site like how VBForums does.
I'll post the JQuery issue I'm having in the appropriate forum actually.
If you're interested, here is the link: http://vbtutorials.bss.design
I haven't monetized the website nor have I completed the PHP for the contact me page, but everything else is there.
I see that you are re-loading the whole page with each click of a topic.
If I use FireBug to look at the response to the GET for option_strict.html, for example, I can see that the majority of the return data is the re-supply of the left side topic list.
It is so easy to make a POST with AJAX to get some HTML - you would need to just get the right hand side. And then INSERT that into the right-side container after it comes back.
I'll put something in the jQuery sub-forum to show you what I mean.
You had better!! You're dangerously close to adding something useful in the post race. We can't be having any of that!:mad:Quote:

Useful stuff in the post race?!

Whats up guys!
n0 c0d n post race
No cOd, no plod.
We interrupt your posting for a special announcement......
I've not been in the post race for awhile, and it looks like I should continue to stay away....
Unfortunately....
When Google grumbles, we tend to listen. In this case we go warned:
I've cleaned up some older stuff (2014). Please remember that the bots are watching us, thus we need to make sure posts are appropriate.Quote:
- pornographic images, videos, or games
- sexually gratifying text, images, audio, or video
Also -
As a reminder, VBForums is owned by a corporation that has a number of developer sites. As such, linking to other sites that provide similar services is frowned upon and in many cases will result in post being removed. While there are exceptions, in general, backlinking is considered marketing. Sorry, I wish the world operated differently, but just as you don't see signs for McDonalds inside of Burger King restaurants, tech sites are not going to want to start driving people to other tech sites.
Brad!
"Forum Dad"
I now return you to your normally scheduled posting....
Was it mermaids?
Niya's old posts from 2014 mostly of warrior women. I assume everyone has the proper copyright permissions to post the images they place in this forum..... If you don't then, you might want to consider removing them as well. ;)Quote:

Wow...cleaning up the post race. I don't think I have boots high enough for that.
Maybe I misunderstood, but you are not allowed to post an URL to a code sample or similar discussion on a different site?Quote:

Oh wait.
It's okay to link when it is directly relevant to the conversation happening (and not a conversation that was started solely for the purpose of getting backlinks, or to draw attention to a third-party site). Links in signatures to third party sites - other than like Microsoft/MSDN - tend to need to be approved or they are considered marketing.Quote:

(As to cleaning up post race... I think the posts I removed were numbered 60,000 and something. I'll tackle issues as they are reported because I personally am not going to dig through 62,854 posts.....)
Hmmm
Posts 60,052 to 60,055 are 4 posts in a row that are now "blank"
There were several posts that were blank. Don't look at me :D.Quote:

There were some removed, many years back. Of course, any image tends to disappear given enough time. People remove them, remove links, and so forth. That's one of the issues with links, too. Of what use is a reference when it just contains a bunch of dead links. For that reason, it is MUCH preferred to put code in place, and so forth.
First we started with code in post race - now we are getting best practice on how to post?!?Quote:

I was there once.
I saw Prof. Irwin Corey do Shakespeare in the old Shakespeare Theater in Stratford, CT maybe in the late 1980's??
You mean empty like this?
The posts are not empty at all. Just changed the forecolor to white... :D
Just select from the left and you will see.... Mine though....
Stay till the end...

You can't have a zero length post, so when there is what appears to be an empty post, just highlight it. The truth will be revealed.Quote:

Not a permanent fix, but it dries and set quickly (faster if you use a hair dryer on it :D ) and can be done more expertly later. At least it will keep the water out for a short time - longer if you put a coat of paint or even glue (not wooden glue) over it.
We don't like floating pc's.
