Code Project Message Boards FAQ

By , 16 Mar 2010
 

Table of Contents

  1. How do I post a new message?

    Click on the 'New Discussion' link at the top left of the message boards. Some boards require that you logon first.

  2. When I try to post a message I get an error saying the name or email I am using has already been taken. What should I do?

    Once someone has registered their name and email address no one else may post using that name or email address. If you are trying to post a message under your name but aren't logged in then you need to logon first and then post the message. If someone else has registered a name you are trying to post under then you'll need to choose a different name. If someone else has registered an account using your email address then you control that account.

  3. How do I search the message boards?

    There is a 'Search this forum' link at the top right of each message board.

  4. What does the 'View' drop-down mean? Can I view just the message thread headers instead of all messages?

    The view dropdown provides you with different options for viewing messages:

    Normal This view shows the fully threaded message headers only. Clicking on a message header displays the message body without needing a full page refresh resulting in a faster board. Page load times are slower but individual message display is fast. For DHTML enabled browsers such as IE4, Mozilla and Netscape 6 and above.
    Open Topics Similar to Normal View except that the first message in each thread is shown expanded.
    Open All This view shows the fully threaded message headers and message body together so there is no need to click on messages to expand them. This makes it easy scanning discussions quickly.
    Thread View This view shows only the messages at the start of each thread along with the number of messages in each thread. Clicking on a message header displays the message body without needing a full page refresh (on javascript enabled browsers only). At the bottom of each message is a link which, when clicked, will display all messages in that thread.
    No Javascript This view shows the fully threaded message headers only. Clicking on a message header refreshes the entire page and displays the full message. For old browsers such as Netscape 4.X. Page load times are fast but individual message display is slow.
    Preview This view shows the fully threaded message headers and a short preview of the message body for each message. Clicking on a message header refreshes the entire page and displays the full message. For old browsers such as Netscape 4.X. Page load times are fast but individual message display is slow.
    Viewing options for the message boards
  5. I'm running IE or Netscape 6 but I don't see all these options in the 'Layout' dropdown. Why?

    Sometimes add-ins such as WebWasher or other web page cleaners change the user-agent string for your browser. This string identifies which type of browser you are running, and if the scripts don't detect IE or Netscape then the extra options won't be available.

  6. What is 'Noise' and how does message voting work? Why are some messages red and some grey?

    Anyone can give a message you have posted a score of 1 to 5, 1 being poor, 5 being excellent. The Noise drop-down allows you to specify the minimum score a message must have in order for it to appear normally on the boards.

    Voting is weighted based on membership level. A new (non-status or bronze member) has a voting weight of 1. Silver members have a weight of 2, gold a weight of 4 and platinum members have a weight of 8. Thus a vote of 4 and a vote of 5 will not necessarily result in a score of 4.5 for a message.

    If a message has been given a score that is below your noise threshold then it will appear dimmed out on the boards. A message must have at least 3 votes and be below your threshold to be grayed out.

    Messages that have been voted greater than 4.5 will be marked as red regardless of the the number of votes it has.

  7. Why are some names (and head icon) dimmed while others are in colour?

    Messages that are posted by a member who is logged on will have their name shown in colour. Clicking on the coloured 'head' icon next to their name will take you to their membership profile page where you can find out more about them. Non-member postings are treated the same as anonymous postings and are shown dimmed.

  8. While logged in I posted a message, but specified a name other than my usual member name. The post is now marked as anonymous and I can't edit it. Why?

    When you change the name in a post to one other than your username the scripts mark the post as anoymous, since the scripts think you are masking who you really are. Once that's done the post is no longer available for editing at all.

  9. How do I change the number of messages displayed per page?

    Select the value from the 'Per Page' dropdown at the top right of the message board and click on 'Update'.

  10. The 'Date Filter' option doesn't appear in articles. Why?

    Discussions on articles form an integral part of an article so we force all message boards for all articles to show all messages. Older articles may have important messages posted years ago that may otherwise not be visible.

  11. I love these boards. Is the source code available?

    There are a few older ASP versions available, the most complete being David Wulff's an ASP 3.0 version.

QuestionPHP/Apache errormemberjiksaw2135 Dec '11 - 14:34 
Hi all,
Posted this query on the PHP zone but as it might be a server issue thought I would also check here to see if anyone could help me out.
Am trying to work with remote images in PHP but get the following message:
 
Warning: getimagesize() [function.getimagesize]: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known. in C:ApacheApache2htdocsmapimage.php on line 4
Warning: getimagesize(http://www.coflein.gov.uk/wales_thumbnails/CD2003_645_013.jpg) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: No error in C:ApacheApache2htdocsmapimage.php on line 4
[PHP]$imageSize = getimagesize($imgUrl);[/PHP]
$imgUrl being the location of the image. Am running Apache 2.0 with PHP 5.04 locally on a WinXP box.
My prime suspects are:
 
It is a problem with the Apache server configuration
It is a firewall issue
Result of running Apache locally
Apologies for my ignorance and thanks in advance for any response,

Generalwhy do you code like this?memberchandufo22 Apr '11 - 0:21 
hi,
i'm wonder why do you code this line. I dont understand this line in ExecutionEngine File
 
pFrameStack[0].sp -= nDiscardStack;
 
I think you must replace the code 1 block by code 2 block like following:
Code 1 Block: (your code)
	//if returns then get on stack	
	if(strDesc.Find(_T(")V")) < 0)
	{
		nDiscardStack--;		
		//params--;		
	}
 
	pFrameStack[0].sp -= nDiscardStack; //??? 
	//pFrameStack[0].sp -= params; 
	//pFrameStack[0].stack[pFrameStack[0].sp] = pFrameStack[1].stack[pFrameStack[1].sp];
 

code 2 Block: (my code)
	//if returns then get on stack	
	if(strDesc.Find(_T(")V")) < 0)
	{
		//nDiscardStack--;		
		params--;		
	}
 
	//pFrameStack[0].sp -= nDiscardStack; //??? 
	pFrameStack[0].sp -= params; 
	pFrameStack[0].stack[pFrameStack[0].sp] = pFrameStack[1].stack[pFrameStack[1].sp];

QuestionHow to do something similar to PumpMessage in MFC?memberMember 765927123 Feb '11 - 3:06 
HI,
 
The Win32++ is a really good start for beginner to learn how to make a win-app.
 
Here, I meet a question about PumpMessage of MFC.
 
It is well known that in MFC there is a message loop inside Modal dialog that keep it stay on top of others:

while (::PeekMessage(&Msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_NOREMOVE))
{
(void)AfxGetApp()->PumpMessage();
}
 
Inside PumpMessage(), there are two conditions to decide whether or not to let message go out to Windows:
 
(Msg.message !=WM_KICKIDLE && !PreTranslateMessage(&Msg))
 
Here in Win32++, how do I do the same thing ?
 
Thanks in advance!
