I notice your numbers use commas instead of periods.  Is this something that is REQUIRED or could we use the standard decimalization such as 46.60?

Standard depends on the country.

I should have said "Our own Standards" sorry, was rushing to leave the house as I posted :)

Also, just as a hint - You can upload your application directly to DonationCoder if it less than 8MB in size (Which, your Filesize is: 2.020 MB so would be fine.).  Makes more sense to have it hosted here then people don't have to go to a less-than-known download site :)

I mention the problem with upload sites like this because when I clicked your download link...I got this:

Warning: Dangerous Site

Whoa!
Are you sure you want to go there?
http://s000.tinyuplo...nload.php?file_id=45... may be risky to visit.

Why were you redirected to this page?

When we visited this site, we found it exhibited one or more risky behaviors.

Just for those who might be a little uneasy about downloading from a new member hosting on an unknown site:

VirusTotal Detection Ratio: 0 / 54 - Take that information however you like :)

I don't get it.  468 messages deleted as spam by 700 spammers banned.   
Does this mean that each spammer only created, on average, 0.668 of a spam?
How do you create a partial spam?

I think the spammers who didn't post, got caught by other Anti-Spam methods such as IP recognition or using a known spam e-mail address on registration.  Those "members" would have been banned BEFORE ever reaching the "New Topic" screen. :)

I actually thought I had posted that one in my personal area and not in living room haha, no wonder I couldn't find it  ;D

Aha... so someone can post to the forum directly from My Personal Area?  Interesting.

No.  One must copy and paste from Personal Area in order to move it to a live forum section.

I have a tendency to have a lot of DC tabs open at any one time and sometimes multiple "New Topic" tabs for mocking up posts before making them, and sometimes I don't realize I have posted something live that should have been a test post.

Okay... thanks.  In my early days at DC I (thought) I was in My Personal Area when I clicked post but sent it to the forum and the wrong thread instead.

Just so I understand:  If I'm in MPA and click post... it will come up looking like a forum post but stay in MPA?   :tellme:

Yes.  The Personal Area is a private area ONLY you can see. - It looks and feels like the public forum sections, but nobody else can see in there.

If you want to move something from that area to a public section, then you can do so by copy/paste method, or by speaking to mouser and asking him to move it for you.

You can contact mouser via PM | E-Mail | or Visit us in the Live Chat Room

Again thank you very much for a clear and informative reply.

It wasn't about what I said that made me want to remove it...

This thread has peaked my curiosity.  Can you say what it was about... maybe a PM?      Silly Topic Allotment?   ;D

I think I was messing around posting silly ASCII emoticons ((╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻)) or something of the sorts and obviously it meant nothing so mouser deleted it as it wasn't a "topic" haha

...and the 9-11 memorial?

A certain member on the forum decided to go on the offensive and attack the thread.  Due to those reasons I decided to self-censor the thread and have it deleted rather than the possibility of a flame war being on the DonationCoder boards. :)

App said the bit about DC 2.0 for a reason.  Seems like if anything could muster the troops, it would be that.  And with such a dated look, it should be that.  But... here we are.

Oops, I missed Apps post.

We might accomplish DoCo 2.0, or perhaps not.  :-[

We'd probably accomplish too many opinions, too much discussing, and no actual decisions that are actionable by anyone. Comparable to the development of any of a number of famous vaporware projects.

In a nutshell, we'd have to bring in an outside project manager, highly experienced in dealing with large groups of fiercely independent personalities, to have any hope of getting the project off the ground. Otherwise, we will just all run around doing our own thing, waiting for someone to tell us what needs to be done and what our part in it will be.

I am sorry that I am not kidding. Just being realistic.

It;s not really a bad thing to agree with you there to be honest...and if I am honest...that makes more sense than anything I have ever said/thought on the subject. +1  :Thmbsup:

I occasionally have the unrealistic fantasy that groups like this one can put together a project that would provide incomes for the members who participate.  Sort of like using our talents/passions/skills to free us from perhaps our normal methods of making a living, which may be less than satisfying.  But these kinds of ideas never seem to really take off, and instead turn into soon to be abandoned open source projects.

I would be very interested if any such project was able to generate additional income for participants in a good way.

I think the way to do it would be to treat it like a business, rather than a project.  What I mean by this is:

  • Come up with an idea
  • Write a business plan/proposition
  • "Hire" Core Members and set out their tasks as you would in business (CEO, CFO, COO, Advertising etc)
  • Run the project as a business as much as possible

I think doing it that way would give everybody a definitive thing to work on and there would be no ambiguity as to who is doing what, when they are doing it, and why they are doing it.

Obviously...for a group like DonationCoder, that business would have to be something like Software Development & Sales - But there much be other possibilities?  :huh:

 New members who joined: 13,600 (number of those banned for spamming: 700).
 New donors: 714.

Fun to work out figures!

If 13,600 new members joined and 700 of those got Spam-Banned - That means 94.85% of those registrations are legitimate (At least...have not spammed or got banned)...For you pessimists, that means a figure of 5.15% of new members at DC where horrible spammers!

If those 714 New Donors are also New Members, then that works out to be 5.25% of the people who signed up in the last 156 Days actually donated! - And again...for the pessimists out there...94.75 of those people DIDN'T donate!


Just another pointless semi-factual post from your friendly forum nutcase!  ;D

On a lighter note I'd add:
 (see attachment in previous post)
GalaxyQuest :-* One of the best Trek spoofs ever. Featuring Tim Allen, Alan Rickman, and Sigourney Weaver demonstrating the amazing powers of a Wonderbra! Talk about alien technology!


If you like Spoofs...then you should checkout "Spaceballs" - Seriously funny movie (Albeit quite old now).

Something I have often thought about, is the sheer amount of power that could be obtained by grouping together all of the Developers and Designers here at DonationCoder...Now...What could we achieve if everybody got together on ONE HUGE PROJECT?

Could we create some massive game?  Some huge Software release?

I don't know...but you might!

What do you think we could all hypothetically make as a collective?

 :D
1043
^ we know you're not a man who does things by halves ;)

Haha, I do seem to have a bit of a reputation for going a bit over-the-top :P

Developer's Corner / C# Help Needed.
« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on October 25, 2014, 06:10 PM »
Long story short...

I am trying to do something which, because of the WebCore I am using, has left me with very VERY few options as to how I can achieve it.

Basically I am trying to hook "Desktop Notifications" sent to the client via a website (Usually sent by websites which heavily rely on WebSockets).

My problem is...Awesomium (The WebCore I use) is very badly documented...and the information I HAVE found, is leading me to believe this isn't possible.

SO...What I need to do...Is something like have my Software know when it activates the soundcard (It sounds a beep when a notification is received) - That way I can provide the visual popup window using a different method (Therefore re-creating the functionality one would otherwise receive).

Does anybody know of ANY method I could use in order to somehow register when the Software activates the Audio Device in order to play the "Beep" (It shows in Mixer Settings) so I can actually do something when that has happened?

In fake-code, I would want to do something like this:

Code: C# [Select]
  1. if (AudioBeep.IsPlaying == true)
  2. {
  3. //Do Something
  4. }
  5. else
  6. {
  7. //Do Something Else.
  8. }

Any help would be HUGELY appreciated!!!

I enjoyed the post blitz :up:

No worries on this one -

Is this really DC material?
Lets face it, you know that half of those topics will end up in the basement (which makes about six sensitive topics in one thred :o).


I'm just posting anything that might spark a bit of life into the forum over the weekend (It is always dead on Weekends lol) - Although...I do agree that this may have been bad judgement on my behalf when posting this one.

I must add Guardians of The Galaxy to this list!

I loved it so much the first time seeing it in 3D at the Cinema with a friend...we both convinced our SO's to come and watch it..in 3D..again in the Cinema :P
