Hello. I am having some problems getting a drop down navigation menu to work in a word press template a client asked us to work on. Can anyone offer any suggestions as to why it is not working? ...

Congrats! Maybe I can stop lurking and start contributing?

Scared me for a second. Thought something went poop, or I got hacked. Had to relog in. Looks nice!

I'll eat just about anything that tastes good. I particularly enjoy things that are made with fresh ingredients. So long as it did not swim, float, or frolic in sea water - I'll eat it.

Let me know when you figure that out. I've got a couple sites that rank really well in CPC, but am afraid to touch them. I don't want to get greedy and over do it.

What's odd is they perform...

Search any number of given webmaster forums or Google, etc. and you'll find them. They are all over the place.

Yeah. I should have noticed this right away. I feel like an idiot. The mouseover of the rotate icons had the answer all along.. Duh!

Found the problem.

Note: This function is only available if PHP is compiled with the bundled version of the GD library.

Looks like we built with the system libgd.

Thanks again for the...

That's just amazing... Too bad the batteries went dead. Would have been cool to see impact.

On other thing though. This still does not explain why the image rotation buttons inside of WP do not work. Unless I am missing something?
Thanks.

Thank for the detailed explanation. That pretty much answers my questions. And yes, I just did it the old fashioned way.

I don't mind downloading and uploading with an FTP client. Its the way I...

I'm not sure I understand your second question. These are just images coming directly off the iPhone.
Uploading them from within WP admin changes their orientation and there...

Anyone know what this happens....?

1. Rotating vertical images to the WP library they end up being displayed vertically.

2. When I try to rotate them I cannot. The rotate arrows are grayed out....

Ok, that is good to know. I have my personal page locked down so tight and they are tied together I thought that might be an issue.



Good ideas..

I have the FB and other Social Networking...

Ah, gotcha... Thanks!!!

Hello, I recently added my business to FB and am having a heck of a time figuring out how to get the message out there that it exists. I've notified customers and friends, but not everyone is on FB...

Hey, just an FYI... I solved this issue already as previously noted. ;)

Thanks for the help though!

You've lost me. I did not make the menu. Just embedded the pdf's and other info I was provided into the format its in. ;)

Found the problem. Had some flash element embedded in the page that the menu was embedded in. It twas bleeding through.

Thanks for the help.

More specifically I am in need of someone with FireFox 3.5.13 on Windows XP Pro to look at the following page:

I learned originally looking at the "view source" option in Mosaic, and then Netscape 1. Seems like so long ago. Not much has changed.... ;)

Let me know when you hit 30,000 posts ;)

Or open up multiple accounts like Menj ;)

That never ends, no matter how old you get.


Those are the weeks you take off!:punk:

I've tried about 13 different names. All are taken.. Then when I think I have it, that validation text is impossible to read. I gave up. Sorry!:sorry:

Remember, Photoshop is your friend.:thumbup:

So what else is new? The only difference between this and past sales? You actually got a product.

Way to go Ash. You can't beat PR like that!

One of the things that got our business off the ground was the fact that we had a very untechnical name during the dawn of one of our most "technical" times!

Our first colocation...

Same here.. Just seems too "bloggy". In other words, nothing really sets it apart from any other brick and motor canned blog. It needs a little life/spice and color!

You could probably...

$50/mo on DP or $500 for they year. The rule of thumb used to be about a penny per post, FYI, so its a bargain, especially considering it an active, popular current account that is one of the first...

So in other words, I too am still included in that number, wow.

I guess next time I state to a potential buyer how many customers I have, I'll make sure to list the total number over the last 12 +...

So you can help Shawn with his legal battles and castle construction. :thumbup:

The reality here is that there are not 84,000 editors. My experience when I was an editor years ago, was that there were really 4 or 5 key people and the other 84,000 of us were powerless to do...

And probably better looking too!

That's what a bot is for. Find the dead stuff first. Then go through it to be sure. Keeping it clean is not that difficult. A tiny bit of effort would be all that is required. And aren't there ...

Maybe the Editors at DMOZ could use them to help clean their directory and purge it of dead links?:punk:

Interesting. I did not even consider that.

So what exactly is one really getting in terms of value. All I can see is the ability to have two more links in my sig.

In a sense, isn't DP now doing what Google Accused Directories of doing? ...

There are ways around that 4 smile restriction at DP... FYI!!!

Yeah, but the search engine is getting those listings from the directory.

That's where the "traffic" is coming from.

Let me be more specific. When I indicate to people that Kingbloom drives...

I wonder if there is any money in selling DMOZ listed domains, now that you mention it. I could make a killing if people wanted to pay just to have a domain listed in DMOZ. :money:

Dear Mia,

You have received an infraction at Digital Point Forums.

Reason: Running...

Another example of how out of date and out of touch DMOZ is.

Given enough time, you'll end up with a ban either way. My first ban ever came 25 minutes after a new rule was made that contradicted a current rule. There's no rhyme or reason to some of the...

To tell you the truth, the quality of web site in DMOZ is reminiscent of "old school", or, the original unrefined, early 90's web sites... Things made back when Mosaic and Netscape 1 were popular.
...

With VB and some commons sense its fairly easy to spot duplicate accounts.. Just an FYI.. Tell tale give-a-ways are things like IP address, Netblock, geographic location, etc..

The main motivation behind the directory slap was to stiffel competition. The reason behind killing the bigger ones out there was not because of the links they had, not even because they were selling...

The only real promotion you need is WORD OF MOUTH... Let people know about the directory, and keep it updated. That's about all it takes. I've never spent any money 'advertising" my directories....

Same here. I found a very blatant one in the BST area. Has about a dozen usernames all touting FatCow hosting.

Ditto... Like I said, we all whine about getting banned or getting an infraction and all typically will wonder "what the hell did I do"?

However. When the "what the hell did I do" is compared...

Its not about twisting anything. Its about my perception of how some are treated and how a fine line between clever and stupid is continually drawn by the moderation team.

No offense intended. ...

That are when they see stuff like this, which is still happening btw:

The majority of the moderators at DP let...

Between, this and the utter lack of moderation with regard to enforcing rules, its become apparent that the moderation crew and ownership is just as fucked up as the membership that made the place...

Oddly enough he still has multiple accounts and is yet, unbanned as far as I can tell.

They obviously got someones attention.

I wonder if that goes for the "Little Willy" and "Trailer Park" comments too

This would appear to be 100% DNS related.

That's because the inmates are now running the asylum.

:doh:

Nothing could be more true... It goes without saying that some have a grudge and unfortunately let that get in the way of an unbiased approach to rule enforcement.

Is there a single mod on DP with a shred of intelligence anymore?



Like I really need to run my posts up intentionally at that shithole...

I don't know if they were ever truly gone. I saw the code, and saw the alternate ads... Looks like a technical issue to me. It seem highly unlikely that there was a ban given the large revenue...

It sure is... Good work Will!!!

Moderators are so touchy. And people wonder why I refuse offers to moderate. :woot:

I think its still worth something. I'd buy it if I had the time to run and manage it. I'm sure others would as well.. However like others have learned and endured like Scott over at V7N, its a hell...

Well, over the years I've seen adsense ads disappear from DP and the various pages for a wide variety of reasons the least of which was ban related. It was usually a code glitch, or some other issue...

No, its far from dead.


Ban? Where did you hear that?

Ok, if he meant "MIA" as in missing in action, that would make more sense...

As to selling? Nah... Why? Why sell or abandon something you can just milk...

True, though that rarely yields much of anything with regard to DP as the failure point is almost always the last hop at Nethere, ie, the servers themselves.

The main idea here is to see if the...

I've never had problems reaching the server. I do routinely see server unavailable, or too many connections, or a database error, etc...

Next time this happens to either of you, try pinging...

If you cannot access DP unless you use a proxy its because someone IP banned you, or the IP range you are using is Banned in VB.

Wait until the class action starts. That's right. Its not just CJ/Ebay that lost money. It was you and I who had our money stolen as well. Look at all the people that had their own affiliate sites...

Most of the moderators there are level headed. There are a few that have the "Pelosi Power Syndrome" as I like to call it, or PPS, not to be confused with PMS.

My votes for Vilesilencer as well. Posting in just about any webmaster related forum, as well as directories of directories seems to yield the best results.

Uglier the better seems to work for some. Take a look at places like MySpace, and that "go fish" dating site (or whatever it was called). There's no accounting for poor taste.

You're joking right?
