@YiJiang, the only thing I can't decide is whether to open in a new window, or whether opening in the same window will force the browser to also refresh properly when you come back... (I also think /update is best)
it's the same thing as the layout bug from yesterday. For some reason in this room, I've got two versions of the script turning in parallel or something
I AM USING CAKEPHP 1.3 AND INTEND TO UPDATE A IN MY FORM (*.CTP) WITH THE INFORMATION RETREIVED FROM A MYSQL TABLE.
THOUGH I HAVE GONE THROUGH SEVERAL EXAMPLES IN THIS SITE, NONE OF THEM SEEM TO PROVIDE A COMPLETE PICTURE. THEY ALL SEEM TO ASSUME SOME KNOWLEDGE ON OUR PART AND SKIP PART OF THE ...
I have a classifieds website, and I just asked a question regarding if I need to use captcha or not whenever users post a new classified etc.
Some places on my website (like contact forms) do need some sort of authentication (captcha etc...).
But I don't know whether I need one when posting a n...
Evil antispam measure of the day: in a standard comment form, put a very simple captcha saying "itsatrap" and hide it (change the image alt="" text accordingly for older browsers, I guess). Bots will likely still solve it and fill in the invisible field...
@Benjol I'm not entirely sure. The problem is that as far as I can tell, the notification method is a black box, since #inputerror is used by the chat js itself, so there are probably other code that are operating on it
Which is why I've been thinking that we might want to replace it with our own system.
The ad suggestions on GMail are interesting... most of the time it's obviously related to a keyword in my email, but this one just makes me wonder: "Removing Head Lice"
...looks like XMPP keeps crashing this morning... sorry guys, I've been too crazy busy with work to chat or work on XMPP much. I'll try to restart it when I see it goes down. If anyone's seriously using it and it crashes, just IM me: [email protected]
People should lose rep if they post a question and the duplicate was specifically listed in the "uh... maybe this is a duplicate?" list on the ask question page. They should lose douple rep if it's listed on the first page and they didn't even need to scroll
@MichaelMrozek Although I have to say, that list is pretty un-user-friendly - the space is tiny, and having to scroll through such a long list of results, some with pretty horrid titles, just isn't going to work for people who want answers now
@YiJiang You remind me of the Simpsons episode where Homer complains about the three-day waiting period to buy a gun. "Three days!? But I'm angry now!"
Bah, Sportsmanship. I just went to a question, started writing a reply, upvoted the existing answer so I wouldn't forget to do it later, remembered that Sportsmanship is only awarded if you upvote a competing answer, un-upvoted, posted my answer and couldn't re-upvote because it'd been 11 minutes.
I typically read the question, read all the answers and upvote good ones, and then post my own if none were complete, so apparently I'm never going to earn that badge if it really works that way
According to the announcement by Jarrod, the logic for the Sportsmanship badge only counts votes cast after a user posts his own answer. I questioned that logic in a comment under the announcement, but here's the gist:
It's not uncommon for me to scroll down a question, reading the answers, u...
I deleted one of my questions yesterday on SO and would like to un-delete it... How do I go about doing this?
If I can't, I think this should be a feature request since you shouldn't be prevented from seeing these posts, especially when they were your own.
For a work around, feel free to vote ...
I've just stumbled across this poorly worded question - if you look through the comments it appears that the user previously asked an identical question that was deleted - it occurred to me that this question may well have been deleted before the poster had a chance to read any of the comments / ...
try { blame(balpha); } catch(SadDayException sde) { try { blame(marc); } catch(UnbelievableException ue) { /* this point should never be reached */ } }
Oh, I don't disagree with the closings, I want to know why so many duplicate or useless questions have been posted suddenly. Did the search feature stop working two days ago?
OK. Finished the first project of the day... before starting on the second I grant myself 30 minutes and not a minute more to fix the XMPP bug which keeps causing it to crash
Or should I fail, I'll post a StackOverflow question :-)
