Reply to WC Forum Issues in WinCustomize Site Issues WinCustomize Forums

Please post in the correct forum. Moved to 'Site Issues'. The missing 'online' usernames at the bottom of the forum home page is a bug, but it's not a showstopper by any means. It'll be resolved with the next update.

Forum Update v1.5.3056.17352 in WinCustomize Site Issues WinCustomize Forums

Version v1.5.3056.17352 of the forums was published today. Changes are various. We've done two other updates (prior to this announcement, and post the previous announcement) to try and nail down some performance issues. Hopefully you all have seen the forums become more and more stable in the last two weeks. The majority of updates are related to stability, various isolated errors that are being thrown and wrestling the various webcrawlers/bots that seem to have a knack for caus

[quote]And I had a Karma point earlier,did it expire? [/quote] Wizard1956, One of the support guys pointed out your reply and concern about the Karma that you thought you might have lost. When you're on a forum, you'll only see karma that was given to you, for posts which are part of the website's forums that you're currently viewing. For example; The Stardock Forums have a category 'Sugar and Candy' and someone gives you karma for a reply on a post in that categor

Reply to Stardock Forum Update - 4/29/08 in Internet WinCustomize Forums

[quote]You say I didn't read the article, but I said nothing about negative ratings, because I did read the article. But you apparently missed this gem: "The points themselves don't DO anything yet, but there are ideas being kicked around on what we can do with these points." I am referring to the potential for a clique to form when inevitable rewards are given for high karma ratings such that only the same people have access to the rewards and access to giving others the rewards. Anyone with a

Forum Update v1.5.3041.17461 in WinCustomize Site Issues WinCustomize Forums

Version v1.5.3041.17461 of the forums was published today. While a lot of users are seeing periodic slowdowns on the forums, they remain faster than previous builds. This build should help to improve that. Our improvements to speed and functionality seem to be accompanied by an equal, and sometimes greater, increase in traffic. Stardock is growing by leaps and bounds this year, with no end in sight. We're still working towards a 0% slowdown, but it's a hard-fought battle. <

Karma is a way to tell who on the forums is a helpful, fun or nice individual. The old Trolling/Insightful ratings were confusing to new users (yes, yes, i know) and the data was all munged and didnt really reflect your activity on a given site. The Karma system allows you to give others Karma if they are fun, helpful or whatnot. You can't take Karma away from people, so there's no more negativity. Only warm fuzzies. However, users who don't deserve Karma won't get it, so it'll be pretty obvious

Reply to On Intelligent Design Part 2 in Pure Technology JoeUser Forums

I'm of the opinion that it takes a pretty small mind to claim that we have the definitive answer behind creation. Evolution has basis in study. Creationism has basis in history (as a lot of myth-based history is derrived from fact, not to say creationism is myth), most notably ancient written history. Who's to say that there isn't a being who, compared to us, is supreme? Absolutely no one. Becuase there's no one out there that can definitively proove otherwise. So it's ridiculous to clai

Reply to Petition to the Admins of JU/WC in Blogging Stardock Forums

There is no seperation between a JU article and a WC article, or any other article. It's all in your head at this point. It doesnt matter what is created where, it's shared and shared alike, so long as one site shares a category with another. The next JU update will contain code which will not show posts which are created by users who do not have a blog. However, forums are forums and will show everything. This is the final word on the matter, as I have been ins

Birthdays » Would YOU Like To See Them? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Ahoy hoy. Over the next few weeks the forums are going to get some much needed updates. I'm not sure if the title of this post; https://forums.wincustomize.com/308768 was intended to spur on this idea, but none the less... It's well within my ability to add a little section to the bottom of the forum index page to display who's birthday it is on the current day. I'm leaving it to the users who respond to this post to dec

Something on the page in a reply or the post body is causing that. We see it frequently with IE. Thank god that the 'operation aborted' issue has been fixed with IE8.

Javascript: Date to Ticks in Software Development JoeUser Forums

During my quest to add more features to the forums on the Stardock Network of websites, I came upon the need for a decent DateTimePicker control for ASP.NET. I tested out several javascript generated datetime pickers/choosers and just wasnt happy with what I found. Aside from the code-style of the js, or the dependancy on some framework, none of them were wrapped up nicely in a server control I could re-use easily. My solution? Write my own. It took me about a day to put together some
