You've missed the next sentence:


So my statement stands until proven otherwise. :D


Edit: Hmm...

Edit Twice Over: Now when I think about it...

No I didn't...The second sentence doesn't make the first one correct. :)

True. I would use the lack of the english language as an excuse but since it's my primary language I'll just have to divert the attention that ---> way. *Whistles into the sunset...* :)

Where?

What were you all talking about again?

*Crafts up the "Divert The Attention" mod*

Personally, I like the fact that to a certian degree your left on your own to figure things out....I'm WAAAAYYY behind the bell curve of alot of the coders and designers around here....I can do basic edits and tweaks and manipulate templates more on trial and error than skill....but everything I learned here I did because I wanted to know how they did it...and tried to research it on my own.

IF ANYTHING, I think that more coders and designers should take the time to write out tips/tricks/tutorials than awnser questions that are not specific to learning how to do things....especially when those questions get asked over and over in different ways in different threads....its getting to the point where I know the awnser, but not the pre-text to it. For example, a "what VB uses that isn't your average PHP" kind of tutorial would be useful....cause I have no idea what GPC is...I'd like to...but for the life of me I don't get it....

Basically...what i'm saying (its late forgive the ramble) if a question gets asked a bunch of times...maybe a tutorial that includes the concept might be warranted (thank you to those that do create these already, I know I can't be the only one who appreciates them)....it cuts the legs out from under the lazy, and gives more resources to those willing to learn....more importantly, it makes an 'unwritten rule' more fair, because along with the GREAT Mods this site offers, it will help educate the next generation of VB hackers :)


my 0.02....maybe i'm being idealistic at 1am :p but I think that would put this site over the top for usefulness to a wider audience.

I'll forgive you! Mainly because I'm a picky 'editor-type' who is a writer by trade, ANNNNNND because I'm about to start sweet talkin' you about your site design... Did you do that? FABULOUS! FAB-U-LOUS! (Did I see a 'hire me' link on your site? Must go back and look....)

That's a good idea.
Is someone keeping track of these good ideas?

Creating a tutorial is on my to-do list - but it will be a little bit, due to work circumstances and 3 projects that I need to complete.

Hehe. Yeah, the site is my latest creation far from completion, however. Most likely the project will run me into summer. Ordinarily, I'm a stickler for being XHTML and CSS compliant but I was a bit careless this time around so I'm going over each page in the effort to clean it up.

I definitely see myself doing something of that nature in the future.

I found this thread by searching for "staying logged".

If you know anything about Vb you know the search feature sucks. To jump on someone's back because they couldn't find one post out of a million is just BS.

I get on my mods for doing that to our users all the time.
