Post Race!

[dday9]

I'll post the JQuery issue I'm having in the appropriate forum actually.

[dday9]

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!

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:

• pornographic images, videos, or games
• sexually gratifying text, images, audio, or video

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.

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....

[szlamany]

Was it mermaids?

[brad jones]

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.

[szlamany]

I'm sure the google bots will start looking for digital signatures and warning you about those infringements as well!

[Shaggy Hiker]

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?

[dday9]

A moderator should really monitor this thread.

[dday9]

Oh wait.

[brad jones]

Maybe I misunderstood, but you are not allowed to post an URL to a code sample or similar discussion on a different site?

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.

But alas... this is too serious a topic for post race.

(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.....)

[Spooman]

Hmmm

Posts 60,052 to 60,055 are 4 posts in a row that are now "blank"

[brad jones]

There were several posts that were blank. Don't look at me .

I assumed that someone before me removed them. They might have been blown off of the image server by someone on the back-end if the images were really bad.

[Shaggy Hiker]

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.

[szlamany]

... 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?!?

Zombie apocalypse coming soon!

[brad jones]

Zombie apocalypse coming soon!

Speaking of zombies. I attended GenCon this past week. I actually bought a zombie game for one of my friends because it had 100 little zombie figurines.

There were a lot of zombie games and a couple of very cool Walking Dead games. Of course, the best Walking dead (board game) was $100US. A bit steep in price, but it was a pretty cool board game.....

...and the crazy old man said: "Where ever you go, there you are." Does it still comply with all the new tech of today? I wonder...

[brad jones]

I was there once.

[szlamany]

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?

[Inside]

The posts are not empty at all. Just changed the forecolor to white...

Just select from the left and you will see.... Mine though....

[szlamany]

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.

Yay my apartment wall has a bad problem with letting water in and I'm expecting up to 6" of rain tomorrow!

A cheap method (for now)

"Plaster of paris", water and a spatula (some piece cut from a box can also work). It can be bought at any chemist or hardware store.

Not a permanent fix, but it dries and set quickly (faster if you use a hair dryer on it ) 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.

The absence of knowledge can usually been seen on a person's face when they come to the conclusion they've just made a huge mistake

We're expecting 10" of rain from Harvey.
